My wife and I have been here a few times and it has become our go to place in Sonoma! We came here for my birthday and they didn’t disappoint! Great food, great people and great atmosphere! They frequently have live music on the weekends too! Just an all around amazing Brew Pub! Price is right in line with all others.
It was great ambience, love the drinks. And my friends order good food.
Except mine, as much as I enjoyed everything else the fish and chips were not good at all, I might dare to say they were one of the most bland F&C I have had. No flavor whatsoever, or even a hint of salt. On the fish and on the breading. Everything else was excellent. Just keep away from that dish.
Trusted Straight to the Point Reviews:
-Wait time: The host forgot about us and we waited for 45 minutes at bar. Not cool at all.
-Atmosphere: Inside seating and outside covered areas.
-Cost: Average prices
-Alcohol: Great selection of local craft beers with full liquor menu
-Food: 10/10 Some off the best food we had on this trip. Crispy, delicious, and great flavor wings. French dip was tasty with perfect amount of bread.
-Server: 10/10. We ended up sitting at bar and the bartender was attentive. We should have not waited 45 min while host completely forgot about us to just order food at bar.
-Overall: 8/10. Everything else was fantastic, host not so much.
Great food with a variety of options, along with a wide selection of beers coupled with friendly and efficient service, made for a terrific experience. Pet friendly patio seating was also a plus, along with ample off-street parking.
The foods there are always fresh, flavorful and tasty, the vibes are excellent with indoor and outdoor seatings and live music, the servers are friendly, but the foods take longer time to get ready.
This place is packed for lunch on a Monday. Outdoor patio is amazing with relaxing fountains and plenty of shade. Service and food both top notch. Don’t think there’s a better option for lunch at any price point when going through Sonoma on a weekday afternoon.
This HopMonk location is a favorite. Service is always excellent and helpful.
This afternoon I had the Ruben sandwich. Thinly sliced pastrami on toasted rye bread with sauerkraut and a special house-made sauce that was nicely balanced with a fresh, crisp dill pickle. To swish all these flavors together, I had a seasonal cocktail to drink. “Drunken Punch” made with bourbon and fresh pumpkin purée. Wow! It was yummy and I’m not a fan of pumpkin latte or pumpkin cookies. It wasn’t too sweet, just very flavorful. For dessert I had the bread pudding with an Irish Coffee made with bourbon and fresh whipped cream. Very satisfying! While Sonoma has bars and pubs, this HopMonk is the best in town. I recommend sitting outside on the deck or in the garden patio, especially on a sunny day. Plenty of parking, easy to walk to from the historic plaza. Families are welcome and that includes the canine member of the family.
The outdoor seating in the back is fantastic. It's covered and also has space heaters to keep warm. There was a live band playing music as well
The staff was great. Quick, got all orders right and they were all very nice. I was seated with a party of 10 very quickly.
I ordered pretzels with cheese as an appetizer, Nashville Chicken sandwich and also tried the chicken piccata. All were decent but quite pricey although it is Sonoma afterall. All in all the experience was great and I would definitely return. Especially for the outdoor seating.
Great beer selection and loved having the option to do a flight of Hopmonk and local brews. Outdoor patio is nice, but can probably get quite busy. Food was decent. We had the Hopmonk burger, cooked perfectly medium. We also shared the 4 tacos, two beer battered fried fish and two carnitas. The fish were good, but the carnitas were incredibly dry. Overall, good place with great beer and decent food. Stick to the burgers.
Went for dinner and to listen to some live music. Sat outside and loved the whole vibe. Everyone was so friendly and we met some great locals. Put this on your list of dining options when in the sonoma area.
Went here woth some friends and sat at the bar. They had a really nice happy hour drink menu. We all enjoyed our food a lot. The bar tender was attentive and friendly. I'd recommend them for sure, and I'm definitely coming back for more.
Great atmosphere, dog friendly, live music, good food, yummy drinks… What more do you need?
A very nice space for an evening out. We had a large group (15) and were seated in the garden. The tables were long and very narrow which made eating dinner a bit cramped. Otherwise the atmosphere was nice. Drinks took a while to arrive and some were wrong. I received my appetizer after my dinner was delivered. The food delivery was spotty at best. Maybe an extra server to assist would have made the service smoother. I had the fish and chips. Well made and typical. Nothing to write home about but tasty. Overall a good experience and possibly a place to revisit next time we are in Sonoma.
This place is great for groups. The service is great, all of the staff were super kind and attentive. The food is great for the price and the atmosphere is incredibly chill. There’s outdoor and indoor seating, we were able to sit outside very comfortably with 8 people. They also have a wide variety of drinks available which is awesome! I highly recommend this place.
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.
Amazing food and service! Happy we stopped by on our vacation. If we had more time we definitely would have made another trip! Each meal was amazing with good size portions. There was soo much on the menu we wanted to try. The outside patio was large and enjoyable. We were seated right away and had a wonderful time!
Great spot, spacious with lots of outdoor seating and delish food. Drinks were a little lackluster but would still come back.
Awesome staff! Our waitress Lauren was extremely nice, and helped the people I was with answer some questions about the area. We had a great time, the food was amazing. Highly recommend going here, everyone was very happy with what they got and really nice seating outside.
