Love this concept of no phones, everyone seemed friendly enough, good beer choices. Seems strange though to ban phones but have 2 massive TVs at the bar in your face… I didn’t get to really meet anyone because most were glued to a screen much larger than a cellphone. It would be great if they cleaned the place once a year, nasty grime and cobwebs litter the ceiling and lights. Also would love something other than a port-a-potty. Anyway, this place could be really great with just a few tweaks.

LOST MY BUSINESS FOREVER
I discovered the bar approximately 15 years ago and they were never overly friendly, but it was a perfect place to stop on a ride. I would go to the bar 4 + times a year.
I understand the no cellphone policy. In the past if you answered your cellphone they would ask you to nicely put it away or buy the bar a round of drinks.
Things must have changed. I answered my cellphone and the female bartender started SCREAMING at the top of her lungs to get off the cellphone. I hung up and walked onto the patio and she started screaming from inside the bar to get off my phone. At the same time Ernie (owner) started to run up on me from the front door. I didn’t even have time to hang up. I put my phone in my front pocket. I felt I was about to be attacked. Once I placed my phone in my pocket. Ernie went back in the bar and did not say anything.
I went back in the bar and asked Ernie politely what happens if someone does not get off their phone. Ernie stated we get more aggressive. After that I went out to the patio area to avoid any further conflict and finish my pint. While on the patio several regulars came up to me and stated that was over the top. One female patron said that was her first and last time going to Ernie’s.
I had been going there so long I even had an Ernie’s shirt that I will be getting rid of. I won’t even give it the glory of being a shop rag. Totally disappointed and this is no way to do business.

Passed by on a Saturday afternoon, saw the fun being had by all, and had to stop for a beer or three. Live music, friendly faces, great beer, good times. What’s not to like?

If you haven’t been to tin bar, stop in at least once in your life.
In the No-man’s-land between Novato, sonoma, and petaluma is a very interesting bar.
At the intersection of Lakeville road and hwy 12, is a popular, quaint spot with friendly staff and lively patrons.
There is probably room for only 15 or so people to sit at the bar and there’s not a whole lot of interior space past that. But man I love landing a stool on a wet winter day next to the fire place and grabbing a can of Olympia for 2 bucks.
It’s a day bar, closes at 8pm so don’t expect to make it a late one, but if you wanna let traffic die down its ideally located.
Great spot.

This is my second time visiting here and it is still as I remembered it. A bar that is built on the side of an old garage with porta potties for bathrooms. Don’t let that deter you though, this place has a lot of personality and a fantastic selection of draft beers. They have music on occasion and this is the 100 year anniversary for them this year. Drop by and have some fun in a unique setting.

Came back after passing on my way to Petaluma yesterday. They have a big selection of taped, bottles and cans.
Nice place to catch a little of the 49er game and have a cold one

What a great little roadside watering hole! No talking on your cell phone!( it’s a really good rule this bar has)My wife and I stopped in to stretch our legs and get a quick drink. We ended up staying for over an hour talking with the bartenders. They have a wide variety of local beers. This roadside bar and service station has been in the family for several generations. There’s lots of memorabilia on the walls. They also regularly have tiny concerts inside the bar. People from all over the world come play in the corner of the small bar. They have posters of all the people who are played. There’s no air-conditioning but the ceiling fans keep you very cool A hot day. The beer is also cold so that helps. They have a great rule. No talking on your cell phone or you have to buy the whole bar around. If you’re passing by and the traffic is slow I highly suggest you stop in and get a drink and watch the slow traffic pass by.

Fine place to quaff a brew. Top selection of craft brews across the spectrum. A brewery would cry to get their brew in here Plus there is some wool in the neighbors pasture

A must-stop for anyone on Lakeville Highway. A good selection of local beers and certainly filled with local residents. You can’t help but feel happy in there unless you need to make a cell phone call. Be careful when parking or crossing the street.
