AT A GLANCE: When you are tired of drinking wine, this is the spot to come for an incredible selection of beer both on tap and bottled. Live music many evenings and large outdoor dining.

HIGHLIGHTS: Very large menu of beer and bar food which includes a few gluten free options. Ambience and beer are slightly better than the food. If your budget is tight catch the happy hour when it's a steal.

AT A GLANCE: A comfortable pub just off Sonoma's historic Plaza with lots of indoor and sunny outdoor seating and full weekly schedule of entertainment.

BEST FOR: Pints of beer and entertainment, especially Trivia Night.

AT A GLANCE: A real humdinger historic movie theater right on Sonoma Plaza!

BEST FOR: First run and vintage films as well as special live performances.

AT A GLANCE: Under-the-stars Broadway-inspired musical review during the summer months.

HIGHLIGHTS: Wow! Little Sonoma Valley attracted a professional theater company largely comprised of seasoned Broadway and Hollywood stars. Enjoy your favorite show tunes and dance numbers outdoors in the magical setting of Jack London State Park.
