HopMonk Tavern Sonoma

I don't think I'd go back again. Everything was ok, but nothing that hasn't been done before. We had salads, which were fresh, but nothing made them stand out. The tuna was fair, but for the price, not what you would expect. Most everything was overpriced. As another reviewer said, I don't mind paying a higher price, I just expect everything to be better when I do. Service was ok. It took forever to get a glass of water, which was a juice glass. I asked for a large glass originally, and after asking several times more times, they finally brought a carafe over.

Great tavern type, laid back atmosphere. They have a nice enclosed patio where you can sit at a table with shade and enjoy a nice collection of local beer favorites, alongside some well executed California pub food. We ordered the fish and chips, mixed tacos, and shrimp pasta. The fish and chips were delicious, with waffle cut sweet potato as our option. The pasta was similarly tasty and well seasoned, while the shrimp were still tender and not over cooked. The tacos were great too, tho I found the carnitas style taco a little dry, maybe could use a bit more sauce. The beer selection was nice, with a couple of the restaurant's own brews, and a variety of local favorites. Most of these beers you can find in grocery stores throughout the Bay Area so it's not exactly a tasters paradise, but you'll easily spot something you will enjoy. Overall a great place to stop for lunch when seeing the sights around Sonoma. Especially if you like the atmosphere of a casual California style beer garden/pub.

Cider was great! The Oktoberfest was Outstanding! Service was great. Staff was attentive without hovering. The food was terrific! Had a cheese burger with bacon, med-rare. Great char, spot on med-rare. The garlic fries were a delight! I'd you're in Sonoma and you enjoy a good beer and some well cooked comfort food, stop here! Will be back!

We had been there in a night with almost no wind, so sit outside was very good. I ordered handmade pasta and Shirley Temple. My husband preferred one of Oktoberfest specials (although tasty, it was missing little moisture, maybe little more mustard?), beer and fries (would be good have them already siding sandwiches). The staff was fast and helpful.
