Old Main Street Saloon

I’m from Forestville and usually go to the club there, but my friend and I decided to check out some bars in Sebastopol. Went to this bar and became very disappointed. The drinks were fabulous that is why I put 3 stars, but the bartender with the orange yellow looking bangs killed it for us. She seemed mad at us for some reason. My friend couldn’t decide what he wanted to drink and she seemed annoyed. Mind you they were very slow. Three or four locals. I understand how that can be annoying… especially for a bartender, but she didn’t even ask what he liked to drink or what they had on tap. Once he did order there was no smile from the lady and she continued to talk to the locals which seems logical except for the fact that I told her we had never been to this establishment before. Basically the drinks were prepared well when we ordered them, but having a bartender as a mother I expected a little more convo and respect.

Service is ok. Drinks really good. A perfect low key place to hit with our new friends before we headed to a wedding. A real classic with everything we were looking for. Close to a 5!

On Sunday ¹⁰⁄₂₆ we sat at the bar for over 10 minutes with not so much as a greeting from either of the bartenders.
The place wasn’t that busy, there were other empty chairs next to us.
The place looked quaint and I was completely disappointed by the bad service.

Here’s the skinny:
The drinks are cheap, it’s rarely crowded, plus they’ve got a tiny train that goes around the bar and an old-​school jukebox.
Why do I go here? Because they have darts, shuffleboard, and two pool tables — and it’s rarely busy enough that you would have to fight for any one of them. This is the only place anywhere nearby that I can say that about!
Sure, the drinks are ordinary and it’s a dive, but there’s no better place to have a drink and a relaxed game with friends

the toy train is awesome! The beer was good, the service was friendly. Not too much else to ask for from a bar. They serve food, but I did not have any at the time. I chose here, after walking into another bar in town. The other bar in town smelled similar to a porta potty. bleh. Typical bar scene with pool tables and touch-​screen counter game.

I’ve never felt more at home at any other bar.
Awesome bartenders that make phenomenal drinks; friendly patrons (most of them), a great selection of music, dice, shuffle board, pool and of course, a train!

Best bar in Sonoma County. The people watching is incredible and the drinks are fairly priced. The bartenders are rad. Enough said.

A great dive bar! Usually a good crowd, great juke box, suffleboard, pool, pretty good bartenders.

Excellent bar. Stopped in on Valentine’s day to have a few drinks. Was pleasantly surprised. Good jukebox. Good bar maiden. Plenty of space. Games — we played shuffle board. Plenty of cool things to look at, including the train going round and round and the patrons. If you go to Sebastopol, please stop by the Ol’ Main Saloon.

Great bar with very nice bartenders, and plenty of AA candidate patrons!

Well unless you fall into the following two categorizes you probly can skip on going to old main. But if you are either visiting your parents, or live in Sebastopol then I am sad to say its either this or Jaspers. Bad bar tenders and the fact that you are stuck in Sebastopol are both causes of severe bouts of annoyance and depression.
Really the place is mediocre, but is that what you want on a Friday night? Please people aim higher. You deserve it.

Across the street from the cookie company, Global Village, and The Pine Cone Restaurant, right next door to Sprint Copy Center and the bike shop, down the street from Milk & Honey. This saloon was featured in the movie Mumford – starring Ted Danson ! (no, you probably won’t have heard of it). It’s very dark and dingy and wonderful inside. If you go please say hello for me to my uncle Freddy-​Frank. He’ll be by the pool table and you’ll know he’s inside because his motorcycle will be out front.
