Papermill Creek Saloon

Great place to stop on the way back from the coast.  Good prices, friendly bartender.  Nice patio in the back.

Cozy, low-ceilinged little hobbit hole of a pub. Wonderful furniture and bric-a-brac. Excellent pool tables. Everything you need.

The Papermill Creek Saloon is a painting reminiscent of the impressionist era, by Mott, a great painter who haunts many of the energy vortexes of Marin. Blending colors together in great swirls amassing around bright lights it is not unlike the style of Van Gogh's starry night, borders between objects blur and then all things become one. The bar is located in the In the beautiful San Geronimo Valley where many travelers have known many paths,  Samuel Taylor state park is just down the road, and the coho salmon know the waters that run through hallowed red woods, and rolling bluffs. Truly a beautiful area surrounds the Papermill Creek Saloon, and an understood setting for a Mott painting. Just like the painting, I've heard the inside of the bar is also impressionist, and holds; great bartenders, friendly people and an internet jukebox.  It just proves that once in a while you can find a great bar in great art, or great art in a great bar, if you look at it right.
