Sat at the bar last Saturday and Sunday night. Had a blast. Great beer, friendly bartenders, solid pizza, and great conversations with friendly folks I met at the bar. This pub has an awesome friendly old school charm that makes you want to revisit.

A bucket list brewery to hit up. For a Thursday night RRBC wasn't as busy as I was expecting. No wait or reservations were needed. Their beer on tap was delicious and worth exploring outside of their flagship selections they're known for. Sometimes food at a brewery can be hit or miss, however we were not disappointed. With various pizza pies to choose from, it makes it hard to choose only one. Fortunately, I believe you can order half-and-half of two different pizzas, so you can get some variety of different styles to taste. Overall, it may be a once in a lifetime experience if you're an avid aficionado of craft beer and visiting from out of state or a solid local spot to just let loose. Either way, you can't lose.

First time here. My brother has stood in line before for Pliny the Younger so I figure we would join him this year. 5 hours to get in but I was with family so it was cool. Beer is delicious! Pizza is delicious! Our server was freaking awesome! Can't wait for Pliny for President to come back out during the next election year. We also bought hats, clothing, and stickers after dinner. Very nice area to walk around too with plenty of places to eat while standing in line. Overall, a great experience.

Food is pretty standard mainly pizzas. Good food but my wife was hoping for more variety. Beer selection was solid as expected. Order pizza, chicken wings and garlic cheese bread. We got here when it opened so we were able to find seating pretty easily but it got packed quickly so we got lucky. Parking was easy to find because it was Sunday but I can imagine the parking gets tough to find. Would come here again

We were inside (was boisterous!), moved outside since we had someone with hearing aids. Sat on the patio, got an iced tea, a sav blanc and Pliny the Elder. Cool air was nice! Took a chance on the spin dip - it did NOT disappoint. We ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture of what it looked like. It was that dense and delicious inside with a layer of baked cheese on top. Crispy, yet gooey alongside the quality inside. The pita bread was on point, too. The pizza was great (the New Yorker), but 3 adults had 3 pieces left over with the spin dip + drinks. $110 including tip. Happy Hour mostly applies to the beers (4p - 6:30p :) ). Definitely give it a go!

Been a dream to come for over a decade. Finally made it and was not disappointed. If you're a fan you will be in IPA heaven And the pizza was pretty solid too. Staff super friendly and on top of it Has to buy a hat cause it's freaking cool

Got there at prime time and we were seated fairly quickly. Very small tables for a party of four if you’re getting drinks and food. Pliny on tap. Interesting sours based on white and red wine. Pizza was good and we loved the hummus plate, but food was nothing special. Service was pretty good. Loud and busy atmosphere. My husband was very happy to take home two cases of Pliny, however they only came in bottles and you are supposed to keep them cold.

Wonderful old skool brewery! The atmosphere is great and the beer memorabilia is like a museum! We had wings, pizza & beer which is probably a perfect meal! Russian River Brewing has a long history and it is obvious why that is the case.
