I am passing on info to my students who are following our troupe up for this glorious event and I figured I mustnt be the only one with students asking a zillion questions so share share!

Let us not forget:
BOOZE AND PARTYIN
Dive bars:
Jasper O'Farrells (6957 Main St., downtown, on the south side of the street across from Screamin' Mimis) According to the Sebastopol police chief this establishment is responsible for the majority of the calls for service they get. When Jasper's owner proposed buying the larger pub just to the south (now the Sebastopol Brewing Co.), the police chief put up the kind of fight you'd expect from Greenpeace protecting the last humpbacked whale. I've been in there once for lunch and had their rather nice fish and chips and a draft Sierra Nevada and had a fairly quiet time (ignoring the all-day drinkers falling off their stools). They have loud music on weekends. Don't worry if the big plate glass window out front is broken. They'll still be open.

Greenhouse Tavern (116 South Main St., downtown just south of the big intersection): According to the a saleswoman/receptionist at the newspaper where I used to work (just around the corner), this is the favorite daytime hang-out of many area tweakers. I have never been inside. The guys who stand outside and smoke all day scare me. Whatever you do, don't go to the restaurant next door (Appletrees). It sucks.

Old Main St. Saloon (153 North Main St., north of the big intersection, just south of Whole Foods): Lots of draft beer and old men drinking all day. According to local legend, this pub is the one the participants in the fight that gave Sebastopol its name came to drink afterward.

Shiny bars:

The Sebastopol Brewing Co. (268 Petaluma Ave., if you're walking it's a block down Petaluma Ave. from the intersection that leads you to Whole Foods. If you're driving go down Main St. and turn left into the big parking lot a block down. Drive east and you'll get to their parking lot). For many years this pub was the Powerhouse (so called because it used to hold the powerhouse for the electric Petaluma-Sebastopol railroad). Then it was the Stone Elephant (the owners found a fossil mammoth on their property up in Lake County and brought it to display here). Now it's called Sebastopol Brewing Co. and still has good eats and a microbrewery. Don't miss their rootbeer.

Starlight Wine Bar (6761 Sebastopol Ave. - in Gravenstein Station): This bar will be very conveniant to those of you staying in the Sebastopol Inn. The one time I went it was in its previous incarnation, but I understand it still serves small plates of nifty California food and pours local wine. It had very reasonable prices when I went, which may be why it went out of business.

I'm only including places within walking distance for the obvious reason. If you want to know about places further out and promise to have a designated driver, I'll tell you about Red's Recovery Room, the Washhoe House and Russian River Brewing Co. And there are lots of places to buy booze so you can drink in the privacy of your tent, RV or hotel room.
