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.

Upon walking in there is a great outdoor space, if your looking for a quieter experience that's your way to go. If you like the pub like feel and ambiance...

Delicious! Quick service and yummy food. Highly recommend. It was definitely a local spot and had music outside which was nice. More of an American cuisine...

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.

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.

Try the Korean fried cauliflower, FIRE 🔥. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich needs some work, more sauce and thicker chicken piece. Calamari was great too.

Great patio, great beer, great service. Ahi tuna salad was just decent but the atmosphere and the service get this place a 5/5

Great live music on the weekend. Sadly, our server wasnt the most attentive and it took a long time to order and one of the drinks had to be asked for again. Food was pretty good. The patio can easily accommodate larger groups and they have heaters.

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.

HopMonk was in the right place at the right time - we wanted food following an all-afternoon wine tasting(s), and thankfully HopMonk delivered.I asked the server whether HopMonk was available retail. Apparently not. However, he told me that HopMonk shares product with Gordon Biersch...so I'll have to research on that one. Their IPA was quite drinkable. Thanks HopMonk!

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!

Tried this place with some friends and had a great time here. The "outdoor" seating area was warm with the propane heaters even on a super cold night. Food was great and the atmosphere was laid back.Had the french dip and it was excellent.

This was a terrific find! We were starving and they were quick to serve us. They made me grilled fish tacos that were delicious! My husband loved his Ruben.

HopMonk is a wonderful and charming restaurant with a great outdoor section with music. The place is vibrant welcoming with great service and delicious food. I highly recommend trying the beer flight, which is not mentioned on the menu. Their beer selection is really great.

The food here was really good. Tried their IPA which was absolutely delicious. The asparagus risotto was really well done and the desserts were too die for. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall it was a great dining experience.

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.

Good beer selection, you can get 12oz pours if you want to try more beers. Food is pretty decent. I had the fish tacos! The green sauce was very good.Inside there is the bar and you can watch sport games. There is a big big patio as well! There is a fire pit .. the place is design to bring friends family and chill and have a good time and eat. There is also live music in the weekends. Not sure if it’s every weekend though.

The beer selection was amazing as was the service and attentiveness of all the staff. The Parmesan garlic fries are a MUST! 🍺The outdoor patio was spacious and they were also prepared with patio heaters; which I will say we didn’t need but was a nice plus.

Enjoyed this place so much while in Sonoma that we stopped in again for a repeat. Anderson Valley Summer Solstice is so smooth. Parmesan Crusted ham and cheese sandwich and garlic fries are delish. Great, dog-friendly patio dining or air-conditioned options inside. Friendly and attentive wait staff. Highly recommend.

Excellent service; great food and entertainment make this place a 5 star local to visit and frequent! I'll definitely be coming back! Sliders were delicately made with a mighty taste. The artichokes were superb to the extent of the word. I had a beer flight and I really enjoyed the variety that was served. I definitely had my favorites among the four. Small sliders, but really filling. The fries that accompanied the slider are deliciously crispy. The soft pretzels were beautifully presented and were perfect for dipping. You've got to try it. On top of it all, Wednesday night was open mic. Some great local talent. Come and visit; I will be back.
