I stopped in for a beer, and didn't get a chance to try their food. The bartender was very friendly, and they have a nice selection of craft beers. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon.
Classic vegetarian order at a pub/burger place: salad and an order of fried somethings. LOL
Truthfully I LOVED the huge fresh chunks of beet and they didn't skimp!! Two varieties. So good. The dressing was perfect, not too much. Only thing would be to add a few more nuts and cheese to really round out the dish nutritionally. The onion rings we so crispy! The breading was light and airy - perfect. Just next time, suggestion to put them on a parchment or towel or something to soak up the excess oil as it makes them go soggy as they cool. My boyfriend and mom got burgers which they completely finished and said were great!
Atmosphere was quiant, small-town. A perfect spot to grab a bite and enjoy the afternoon just slowly observing life, going down to the Russian River, and taking in the beauty of the California country side.
A perfect hidden gem. Small town charm with big flavor! The onion rings are so good 🥰
Editing this to update since they’ve reopened!
Onion rings are even better! We had the blistered carrots (maybe a couple more carrots?) and the Brussels sprouts. Both were great although a little less sugar in the sauces would have been better. The clam chowder was superb, chunky and full of goodness, not thin on ingredients like most we’ve had.
We love their fish and chips, absolutely the best around! And the craft beers, especially the henhouse. The live music isn’t bad either -I wish they would re-open!
This place certainly fills a need in the small town of Occidental. Tasty food, nice light dining room with lots of windows, dark dank bar with just enough stools, old wood style construction, and several local craft beers on tap. Bar tender did a great job of also being the server. The food was tasty, but my medium cooked burger (2 times now), drips all over the tray they serve you on. Watch out for your fries or onion rings, because they will get soggy in burger juice (not to mention your bun if you let it sit too long before biting). Again, very tasty, but something in the execution was off. Food was priced about what you would expect from such a place from such a location in Sonoma County (a bit pricey). I really want this place to be what it used to be (somewhat better food execution), but I will come back, just not go out of my way.
Allison was knowledgeable about the beers, and the pretzels were delicious. We loved the selection and can't wait to come back when we are in town again.
Occidental is a really nice small town with this awesome little tavern burger and a beer in a historic house converted into a pub. I'm not a big fan of being crowded, and it's a small place to begin with but it's the only bar I know of around here with live music almost every night
The BH Burger is perfect. Cannot be improved upon. Add a local craft beer and live music, and experience the best of what a small mountain town pub has to offer.
Truly a great place. Beer list and menu was amazing, only bested by the service.

YES THEY ARE OPEN!
I love this place, it is seriously one of the best spots in Occidental and anywhere in Sonoma County really to eat. The service is amazing, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food is to die for!
The new Chef, Seth is putting out some amazing appetizers, entrees, and desserts.
So far Ive tried the chicken wings with both of the different sauces and they are so crispy and delicious! The Green Goddess sandwich with local bread, avocado, roasted tomatoes, sprouts, house-made aioli sauce and lettuce is something that I crave and I'm not even vegetarian. So freaking good! The boyfriend and I went there last week and tried the Hot Mess Burger Special with their onion rings and omg did it ever live up to the name! Perfectly cooked beef, smoked mozzarella cheese, sunny side up egg and bacon, need I say more?! I can go on and on about the food, just try everything! Lol
The desserts have been just as tasty as the rest of the dishes. I've had the chocolate mouse and the croissant bread pudding which was something I've never had before and it was outstanding! The dessert selection changes so it's nice to have something different each time.
Amanda, the main manager/bartender/server/awesome chic really makes the restaurant go and gives the place a positive vibe. I love this place, definitely have to try it when you are in Occidental!
