Food scene
We love the bar and their pizzas. Great ambience in a historic building. Like most good restaurants in Petaluma they can get busy on the weekends - make reservations.
Our favorite: hurricanes on tap and the fun guy pizza with red sauce added.

Connected to an awesome theater if you can catch dinner & a show (post-covid, of course)...
An all-American menu with some occasional Mexican/Asian flare.
Hot tip: Pliny the Elder on tap! Good people watching on the patio.

Open late! Not very many places are. A great menu and a cool-casual vibe. Sometimes live music in the square. Great people watching. If the Big Easy is open next door, they have good live music!
