It’s been years since I’ve been to any of the Hopmonks, and the first I’ve been to the one in Sebastopol since it took over the building after Sebastopol Brewing left (yeah, like 15 years or so?).
Liked the expansion and the beer garden-esque area outside.
Went there on Jan 1st in the evening. Busy in the beer garden area and waited per the sign to be seated by a hostess. After a few minutes of no hostess showing up, we walked through the beer garden to the bar inside. Ordered food and a beer at the bar.
Good atmosphere all around, smaller beer selection than I expected but it was decent. Food was good (Reuben sammich).
I don’t want to hate on the service as the no hostess showing up despite the request to wait for one to seat you was unexpected. And as I ordered at the bar, there wasn’t a chance much for any deeper service. If anything, I do appreciate not having someone come up to me as I’m having my first bite to ask how everything is.
All in all, a decent place to grab some food and a beer in Sebastopol, where there are several other great places to choose from.

Fantastic place with a true community feel. Excellent local beers, fresh seasonal dishes, and a team that treats you like friends. Always a great experience! Great food and friendly service! Definitely coming back

Pleasant beer garden in a brew pub in downtown Sebastopol. Very good beers on draught and not bad lunch menu. Grilled ham and cheese comes with a Parmesan crust and was tasty with good fries. Kale Caesar had a bit too much garlic, otherwise good. Cheese burger was not good, burger was cooked ok but didn’t taste freshly made, probably frozen. Service was just ok, a little slow, but the server was friendly. Good for lunch but don’t expect great quality food.

A random stop to fill some time turned into a lovely surprise – Tuesday Open Mic Night and it felt so warm and inviting! Had a couple beers and enjoyed the great atmosphere, and will be back again next Tuesday!

Ali was amazing! Despite the restaurant being very busy, she provided fast, attentive service and was genuinely so friendly the entire time. She went above and beyond by noticing us walking up from the parking lot and personally taking us to our table, which instantly made us feel welcomed. Her positive attitude and warm personality truly stood out and made our experience even better. Hopmonk is incredibly lucky to have such a great employee!

Nice place. They are pretty friendly and well run. The only disappointment is that their caesar salad has turned into something unrecognizable with breadcrumbs and seeds and very coarse KALE. I loved their old caesars with traditional romaine with a lemony garlic dressing

Once again another great meal. I did the cheese burger and added bacon. It was cooked perfectly. The wings were also cooked perfect. Crispy and wonderful.
Food and drinks are always very good. Service was fast and efficient. 🙂
We are back again (3/22)
Josh was our server and did a great job. The food was perfect. The hanger steak was cooked perfectly as was everything else. Wonderful meal!
Stopped in for a quick beer. I had the kellerbier (sp?) And the pale ale. Both were very good. 🙂

Kind of loud, food was pretty ok, but the band posters are top tier. I’d go again. Sweet potato fries seemed like they came from a bag, but that’s fine. It’s a cool vibe in there and they let me have 2 heaters because cold.

Hello.
Let me start by saying my original review for Hopmonk Sebastopol was not the best. I went by myself and it seemed to me that being by myself did not seem to matter much to the staff. I felt ignored and left to find lunch elsewhere.
I do not like leaving negative reviews. I always try to give more than one try to an establishment. So I went back his past Saturday for solo lunch again.
Very different experience! I was seated quickly and my server showed up within 5 minutes to take my drink order. I order a Harvest Punch cocktail. It was in front of me in about a minute. It was a little smaller than I expected but tasted amazing!!!
For lunch I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with regular fries. It was good but not great. Fairly priced for the area as well I thought.
All in all a much better experience.

Service wasn’t great. It was busy but I was ordering abundantly and tipping generously and the snowflake servers were ignoring me and then when I called them out on it, they tattled to their manager and the manager asked me to leave. They seemed more concerned with serving water and chatting to the locals hanging out there then assisting people who had wanted to order food and drinks but didn’t want to be kept waiting for 20 minutes in between seeing a server. Food was tasty, band was good, trivia guy was talented and sounded just like Patton Oswalt. Anyway, pretty nice except they should really make the whole bar self serve since I could have made my own drink faster then the server could be bothered to check on me.
