7 Best Pubs near Novato

“Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Cleanliness and spaciousness: 5 stars We were on an errand run that took us 300 miles north of home. We coordinated with a West Marin relative to meet for lunch, and Moylan's was her pick: easy freeway access, plentiful parking, lots of varied menu options. Unfortunately, as we had a long drive home ahead of us, we weren't able to fully partake of the plentiful and diverse beer menu, but our server gave me a sample of Dragoon's Dry Irish Stout (so delicious) as well as San Quentin's Breakout Stout (smoother, more chocolaty, but a second-choice for me). Our server was attentive (didn't keep bugging us about ordering since we clearly were talking, then talking with each other ABOUT what we MIGHT order) and settled in as he saw we were ready to order. Friendly service, accurate, attentive. The food came out much more quickly than I had anticipated, and was all hot and tasty. Blue cheese burgers (one with TRULY garlicky garlic fries, the other with proper beer-battered onion rings - none of that crumbly stuff), and one lamb stew with a side of bread and butter. All three of us came away satiated, happy with our food, and having shared bites of each others because it all looked so tempting! Looking forward to returning for a brewer focused meal on a day with a more open schedule and no driving required.“

“woah. i dont really say real deal but real f***** deal. well balanced. superb quality. exceptional service and presentation. clean flavors. first time I have actually been left utterly speechless. 5 stars. 5 forks. whatever. this place is the jam......“

“It's my first time here and I already know I'll come back again! I tried the pecan salad which is the best pecan salad I have ever had! It has generous amount of candy pecans and fresh salad. It was so good that I forgot to take a picture! There are lots of sandwich selections. Everything is served in Togo box which I thought is convenient for any leftovers to go! It's in a residential neighborhood with a bar inside. Draft beer is refreshing. You can sit in the bar or plenty of outdoor seatings. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is interesting. Definitely give it a try if you love beer and sandwiches! Oh and salad!!!“

“Always loved Tam Commons and we stayed for Tuesday night trivia and actually won. Sarah the host was lovely and my girlfriends and I agree: we will be back next Tuesday.“

“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.“
