We love the atmosphere but some of the beers are more adventurous which makes it hard for some crowds to enjoy a drink. We didn't enjoy the beer we got after having a first sip and the staff was unwilling to swap it out. Felt disappointing since we come to Pond Farm frequently.

Great beer and ambience. The food ... the cochinita tacos were great the pretzel was really good the cheese has an odd texture but tasted ok. Now the wings were terrible they were not fried, they seemed boiled the skin was soft but the worse was the sauce. I was excited to see the Chile de árbol option since it's my favorite sauce and I love spicy. This is not Chile de árbol it had no flavor it was just very hot I could not eat it and I really do love spicy, but this just hurt. Chile de árbol has a unique flavor and is usually done with tomatillo it does not have large seeds like the one served here that was not seasoned at all. I was really disappointed and could not finish it. The cook should go to a local taqueria and ask for Chile de árbol sauce it would go great with FRIED wings. I will go back but I wouldn't get the wings again.

This is our local watering hole and we love the beer. They are truly excellent brewmasters and beyond friendly staff. Very family friendly spot. My only critique is that I wish the food was better. I believe it is improving from the last couple times we got snacks so there is hope!

Nice lunch with our son's family at this husband-wife operated brewery. A good experience and good stuff to eat and drink.Menu had sandwiches, bratwurst, individual pizzas, grilled cheese, pretzels, wine and beer. Is there more to life?Fifteen different beers, nine wines, five hard ciders (is that "hard" redundant?), juices and other stuff to drink. You will find something you like and if you have grandchildren, as we brought with us, they are happy to be there, so not a problem.Big open room with big tables. Service is at the counter. Order to eat and drink. It is kept very clean and picked-up.

Love this brewery, very open clean space (with a nice photo booth) that is also family friendly. The beer is great and the staff is friendly. The food is decent; but the beer is really the star of the show!

Awesome variety of beer on tap, local hard cider & other adult beverages + non-alcoholic. Discount on beer if you show up on bike WITH helmut :-) Great local hangout for watching sports, family fun or just to meet up w/ friends. Indoor + outdoor patio.

I remember being excited for this place to be open in my hometown of San Rafael. I must have gone twice before they started that whole "we need proof of vax". They wouldn't allow you inside without it when Marin didn't even require such a thing . What a shame I had high hopes for this place, I remember the beer being ehhhhh. Trust me I'm a beer drinker! If you are coming to San Rafael I recommend Libation for good beer or even the Flaty (flatiron) of more options plus food. I promised I wouldn't go back to this place after treating me like a dog not letting me in ‍.

Great experience. Enjoyed the "build my own flight" concept. Nice size place with a nice outdoor area.

Great beer. Food is delicious- I highly recommend the pesto burrata. Plenty of seating inside. Cute shaded courtyard outside.

Took the long way back to our hotel from our trip up to the Napa to sneak in a brewery tour, naturally. The parking was pretty good, with some street parking that was easily available. The space inside is incredibly open and lots of open seating. we decided to grab a seat out on the patio since it's so beautiful compared to our hot Texas weather. I've got the devils Gulch, which was a really good hazy IPA.
