Third Street Aleworks

10 beers on tap. Easy drinking styles. The saison I ordered was below mediocre. Maybe the rest are good. I like the appearance of the interior: 2 stories. Good music.

walked over here from RR. This is a large space with a balcony, kind of old school, but pretty busy on a saturday night. I did not do the mega-flight, but instead had a simple pils, which was satisfactory. This place would do well in many markets, and apparently does well here, but it seems overshadowed quality wise by the new comers, as well as the iconic Russian River three blocks away.

Big brewpub in 2 flors and with a beergarten out back, near to Russian River. Visited a friday afternoon after RR, a good number of guests but plenty of seating for us. 11 beer on tap + handpumps with cask version of 2 of the same beers. Flight avaible with all beers for 19$, hell of a deal. Quality fair, not outstanding on tap beers, the cask ones had been on to long. Fine fast service.

Super Bowl Sunday and Pliny release weekend made this place empty early in the day. Sampled a few and got a crowler to go.Went for their highest rated beers, and was underwhelmed. I had just come out of RR, so perhaps my palate was skewed. Still found them rather pedestrian. Open and inviting, kind of industrial feel. No guest taps, Flight options were for the whole lineup, else just 10 oz pours available.

I really liked this straightforward pub in the downtown area. Not hugely busy on the Saturday evening that I visited. Service was top notch. Beers were of a decent quality, really liked the Bombay Rouge red IPA. Food good also (had a pulled pork sandwich). Good prices. Overall a really solid place, would strongly recommend.

Really good service, the food is not bad, pretty good prices, I like the booths, lots of beers on tap and some very interesting ones - they just aren’t super amazing.

Visit on Sunday night after a long day full of good beers and right after visiting Russian River. I wish I could go there on another day to enjoy the beers more. We had all their beers in flights. Good service, good prices. There is food but we didnt try it.

Nice brewpub in downtown Santa Rosa. Near Russian River. Everyone was friendly and prices were decent. Seemed to be popular with the locals. Bartender was excellent. Beers were pretty good. Flights available. Worth your time.

Beers are good but nothing really special. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was so so. There’s an outside patio which is nice. Noisy inside
