32 Best Beer Bars near Corte Madera

“I honestly went into Pig In a Pickle with modest expectations since the reviews on Yelp were below a 4 (which usually isn't a good sign). But we just moved to the area recently and without going to San Rafael, this is the only BBQ close to the Mill Valley/Tiburon area. To my surprise, the ribs and brisket had a great crust on it and were full of flavor and very tender! The greens were well seasoned and the ranch beans were a surprise (I grew up in the south, so BBQ was a staple there). We always order to-go, so we've had great experiences with the BBQ. It did make me wonder why the reviews were so low after ordering from here a few times, so I read through reviews and it seems they're all focused on an issue with bringing in outside food to the establishment (and their response to this by the owner). That seems easily fixed if management approaches that topic different. But for those ordering to-go, this is really solid BBQ!“

“I'd almost forgotten how delicious Stang's is! I came here (the shopping center) to work with my dog on her manners and decided to get lunch. The aroma drew my pup to Stang's and I couldn't argue. There was a short line that moved quickly and we got our hot dog in no time. Great food and even better service. We sat where she could practice her manners and not be too tempted by the amazing aromas (or was that for me?). It was a crisp day and they were doing a great business. Eating outside in a beautiful setting with the sun shining--can't be beat. Loved the options, including vegan. Will be back.“

“It's a nice place, new and comfortable. The food arrived quickly and as expected. However, the service is very poor since you need to order over the phone, and the servers only bring the food to the table; the rest you need to get yourself.“

“Pinsa Rossa is absolutely amazing! Their appetizers, salads, and, of course, the pinsas with their crunchy, flavorful crusts are all top-notch. Ken and his team have done an incredible job creating a dining experience that’s simply outstanding!Dietary restrictions: My daughter, a brand new lactating mom who can’t consume lactose products, asked for a pinsa with vegan cheese, and we couldn’t tell the difference, it was great!Parking: There’s parking available half a block away from the place.“

“Atmosphere: Solid and funBar Service: Kind, interesting, professionalsDrinks: Costly (but craft cocktails can be, so expected), my drink was cloyingly sweet, my friend's drink was more of a savory thing, and one of the rum drinks was great.UPDATE:Within 1 hour the owner of the bar contacted me about the experience with the drink I had ordered. He offered an apology, which I appreciated but was unnecessary, as I should have been better about saying something during my visit, rather than in a public review. This was customer service at its best, and that I appreciate. Upon reflection my drink may have just been a bartender error, and everybody has an off day.As the atmosphere and employees are amazing, and the vibe a solid 100, and now management reacting in a meaningful way to a petty complaint, I am boosting to 5 stars across the board.Go see for yourself what caring about your customers, and their experience is all about. Cheers!“

“Huge shoutout to Tony for the A1 hospitality. My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this place while celebrating our anniversary and we hope to be back soon. Great selection of wines and beer on tap with lots of bottled options as well. Real cozy vibe at Internos and top notch service!“

“What a location. And although on my own I received a table and wasn't tried to be parked at the bar. Really professional service. Fresh cutlery for each course, complimentary small cup of consommé, homemade Yorkshire Pudding (?). The Artichokes were divine. Shrimp and lobster Risotto good, presentation a bit boring (the"boring" bit just because I've expected more after having seen the Artichoke plate) Ristretto was hot.And yes, if you think someone is wearing a Chanel Jacket it probably is one. But no snobbism from anyone and was ok in my makeup free, tired self. Next time I feel like a treat I'll go back“

“Solo diner experience at the newly opened and highly lauded on social media restaurant. It's very crowded and busy even at 10pm. The bar seating is a tight shoulder to shoulder situation, so if you are not comfortable with that or perhaps you are on the larger side, consider coming with friends so that you can secure table seating. I would suggest to the owners to put bag hooks under the bar counter in the future. Onto the food, you are treated to a complimentary amuse bouche of smashed cucumber and roasted salted peanuts. The drinks menu is lively and extensive, though I ended up just opting for water. I ordered the salted egg & squash croquette, salt&pepper squid skewer, fish fragrant eggplant, red bean shaved ice, "huckleberry" (it's blueberry)tofu hua, and mango pudding.Croquette: 4pcs. Freshly fried, molten creamy and sweet squash inside. Make sure you open it first and let the steam out. Helps you swallow the squid skewer if you ran out of water. 4/5Squid skewer: green onion, jalapeno?, squid, mala spice, not my favorite bite as a side from the numbing spicy seasoning and onion there wasn't much flavor to the squid 2/5?Eggplant: ? a whole clay pot of braised eggplant!!!! Generously portioned and seasoned. It's not heavy or greasy at all. They should just have this over rice as a default tbh. I ordered a $3 rice on the side. 5/5?Shave ice: Soft powder type shave ice, sweet milk, red bean, boba pearls, vanilla ice cream. Decent portion. 4/5"Huckleberry" tofu: Served warm. It's blueberry. If you get this combine it with the shaved ice trust me!! 3/5Mango pudding: The combination of flavors and texture was intense. Think gushers candy and those choking hazard jelly cups you ate as a kid and add nuts! Your Asian aunty would definitely say this dessert was too sweet. But it definitely was powerful. A bit syrupy for me. ? 2/5I'll come back with friends so I can feasibly try more dishes, and see if other people agree with me that the mango pudding is 厉害.. and to try the elusive fried bread. Very friendly service as well. See you again next time!“

“Incredible place with a HUGE tap list!“

“Love this place! Pizza is delicious, its a fun casual atmosphere, and they have a great list of drinks on tap. They also have roadside service for weekend nights where it's maybe a little too busy to get a table. Fun place to catch a basketball game too!“

“Best masa I’ve had on the west coast. They grind the corn flour right there and make every single taco fresh each order. There divine fresh homemade hot sauces! The al pastor was excellent - flavorful, juicy, and even lean! FWIW, I have a sensitive tummy to high acid and high fat foods, and I had no problems what so ever. My bf has zero stomach issues and also thought it was divine. Even the sangria was creative, thoughtfully crafted, and delicious. Going back!“

“Zapatos (their version of burritos) are great. Beer selection is wide and overall, the vibe is pretty nice here. However, the front staff really want to leave by closing time; meaning, they start passively asking people to leave an hour+ before closing time. Not normally a stickler for service, but I experienced being shooed out on multiple occasions so I thought it might be worth mentioning that FYI not the most hospitable.“

“I’ve been frequenting Richmond Republic since the week it opened and I’m not sure I’d live here if it didn’t exist. There’s a great rotating beer selection and the food is delicious. I especially like the burgers and salads, and the fries and tots are cooked to perfection. I love all the bartenders, especially the Tuesday crew. Make sure to get an Underberg before heading home!“

“Awesome and women-owned! Let's bask in the light of this great community of women in the Bay! Love this place!“

“To beat the crowds on a beautiful weekend day (easily 45 min wait to get seated) the trick is to order ahead of time (25-30 mins), pick up your order and eat it on the benches next to the restaurant patio. Kids & toddlers were very happy to run around instead of sitting down.Decent gluten free bun option with the burger. And generous portion of chicken when picked add on to kale & radicchio salad.“

“The best! Great hospitality; Lalo is a great cook!“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place. If I wasn’t heading back home tomorrow, I would go back to this place for a third time. The food is phenomenal, the staff are all VERY kind and courteous and the small little pub transports you across the pond. The grilled chicken is to die for - whether it’s on the chicken sandwich or Cobb salad I cannot say a single bad thing about this place. An absolute gem worth stopping in to experience!“

“10/10 - excellent smash burger with a double Impossible patty (can be made vegan, or cow meat also available). Fries sold separately, but were crunchy, hot and fluffy on the inside. Beer selection better than a lot of pubs, got a good stout that wasn’t just Guinness. Decor is mood.The red booths would not be ideal for eating, but there are a number of two top tables, a four top or two, and the bar for eating meals.Vegetarian options: Impossible Smash BurgerDietary restrictions: Vegan available for smash burger“

“Decent beer and welcoming company.“

“Came here after work. Lots of tv. Have outdoor seatings and some tables inside but you can also seat at the bar area. They have free popcorn. They wr code for the restaurant next door but they are okay for you to bring outside food. As for the drinks, they have beers, cocktails, and wine or take a shot if you want too as well. They have a pool table and jukebox if you want to play music. The staffs are nice but they can get busy once the place started to get busy. Prices are decent/average.“

“This is more about the management side of things. I honestly didn’t have the BEST experience with them on my last order. BUT, they went out of there way to fix things. They are new in Oakland, just getting the operation together and I’m happy to see them there. They aren’t the cheapest but, I don’t want the Dominoes or Pizza Hutt experience (or quality) and if I pay a little extra for food, I want good service to follow. In the end, they offered great service. I’m impressed.“

“Muy buena cerveza, un lugar muy agradable para beber cerveza y comer“

“Out with Hoboken Joe leaving our mark on a few watering holes, even had a few with Crazycat and his lil Pleasure Point Attagirl down at Goosebump Charlie's. Then Attagirl yells out she wants a big ol sausage!Well, that was our clue to Lickity Split outa there, so we headed straight to Schroeder's for a Bratwurst.And, I'll tell you what....it was Amazing! 5 Stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“New recipes with the most amazing, home-made, wide noodles made our first inside visit in over a year a culinary celebration. And, as always, the staff is top-notch. Highly recommended!“

“If you’re looking for a full service bar, with great apps and some good food definitely the spot to check out. Nicole was very attentive and the best part very keen to having lighthearted and enjoyable conversation.A clean bar, with great ingredients and great presentation. I’m definitely glad to have stopped by, thanks Nicole!“

“Wonderful experience and everyone is friendly The music is great And drinks are amazing“

“Korean Fried chicken here is so delicious. Freshly made and house made sauce makes this place so unique. The single portion of chicken can fill 2-3 people. Comes with pickled radish. Corn dog was crispy on the outside with melted cheese on the inside. This corn dog is also dusted with sugar. Customer service is very friendly and always happy to explain the menu if you need help.“

“It was one of the best ramen I’ve ever tried…“

“I finally made! I was on my way to California Gold on a Friday night and something told me to walk up the street and try this place. I have heard good things about Libation from my fellow beer drinkers and pass by on the regular but Ive never taken time out to stop and check it out. Walking in the vibe was great. Fully stocked coolers with canned and bottled beer. Banging playlist! Great customer! House plants all around! People fellowshipping at the bar, joyfully Fully stocked bar (hard alcohol, wine, beer, champagne) They don't close until 12! The beer on tap is not very extensive but you can pick one from the cooler, which are cheaper, and drink it in house. I found a nice little table in the corner in front of the window with a spider plant hanging in front of it. If you know me I go ape s*** for a nice plant in an establishment. This place had many :) Long story short I felt SAFE when I walked in... and then I was greeted by my peoples (we are hard to find out here *wink) whom helped me to pick out the perfect beers. They also have cocktails. They have a cute little out door seating area and plenty of indoor seating for and intimate space. They have a separate back room with extra seating, suited with a nice recliner chair by the window and more tables. Large Tv for viewing in the main space. The tennis match had everyone feeling like we were watching the super bowl lol Glad they made it through the Covid and definitely coming back. I met some great people that night.“

“I've visited this place and I have a regret not making the right move to meet a nice lady who's approached me really nice and gentle. I wish there's a second chance. I feel sad about it...Bar and music were really good and a nice bartender“

“Great service, the waiter was very nice and the food was delicious“

“I've been wanting to come to The Stinking Rose since I was little. Garlic is one of my favorite things ever, truthfully. I'm a certified garlic girl. My dining experience here was nice! The restaurant has a nice theme to it, creating a fun vibe for you and your party. Different parts of the restaurant have different styles, I think that's super cute. My party opted to sitting outside though. Upon being seated we were helped rather promptly. 3 servers kept checking in on us throughout our dinner, and they all were so helpful! Very kind and funny, added to the energy of the establishment. Ok now for what you are looking for, the food! Bagna Calda: 5/5 Garlic roasting in a hot tub of oil, literally. At least 30 cloves of garlic was served to us, roasting in a dish of olive oil. It was delish, what could go wrong with something like this?! It's served with 2 small rolls of bread, so I'd recommend getting an additional load of acme bread or even go for some cheese bread! Burrata Prosciutto: 4/5 Huge fan of burrata so had to get this. It's served with thin slices of prosciutto, an arugula salad with balsamic and garlic, as well as 2 crostini. Tasted good but I'd expect an actual garlic flavor from this dish. The restaurant has a vampire tax, meaning the dish has no garlic. This was not labeled with that so I was disappointed to not have that garlicky kick. Also, I wish the angular was dressed better, it was basically plain with a slight olive oil flavor, not even balsamic! Yummy dish, but some expect it to be garlic forward. Count Vlad Garlic Ribeye: 3.5/5 Tasty, however it was lacking garlic again. Steak was just your ordinary ribeye and the potatoes it was served with weren't too garlicky either. I mainly tasted that sweet yukon gold flavor, nothing else. I liked their texture, had to add pepper and they tasted better. The steak was cooked great, a nice medium rare. I wish the fat was able to render better and again, wished for more garlic!! This was your ordinary steak meal you'd find anywhere, which I guess isn't a bad thing haha! Short Rib Ravioli is Garlic Relish Sauce: 4.5/5 Had a little taste of this, soooo tasty! The ravioli were nice and cooked well, and the sauce complimented it perfectly. The only knocker was I found the filling of the ravioli to be a little too salty. The richness of the sauce helped cut this but if I was at home I'd add a squeeze of lemon to cut that salt. So good nonetheless! Overall, The Stinking Rose did not disappoint. It's a fun spot to hit up on your own, for a date, or for a party! I am interested in going back to try a few other dishes on the menu. Totally stop by this iconic restaurant!“
