About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for groups
  • Kid-friendly
If you’ve been to our first two Taverns you’ll expect another original interpretation, this time in Northern Marin County, of the things we love. That’s serving fresh, in-season craft beers alongside our Tavern classics, Kellerbier, Tavern Ale, IPA, and Dunkelweizen. Preparing in our new exhibition kitchen tasty Tavern fare, this time adding wood fired pizza. We bring the outdoors in by connecting the tavern to our beautiful beergarden under five California old growth oaks. Our Novato Tavern can comfortably entertain groups large and small in our music venue.

    Just moved to Novato and trying many places. This one is casual, food is ok and a good spot to drop in. Not in the same category as Boca which is just up the street.

    We were looking for a place for lunch to take my 90+ mother and needed it to be easy access and not too fancy. HopMonk was all that. Service was very good (we got there on the early side) and the menu was great. However, unfortunately the food did not live up to expectations. I would definitely try it again, but probably would try other items. Their Pork Sliders were dry. The French Onion Soup was a strange version....not bad, but not really very good either. Their Cheese Sandwich so-so. Mom liked the Beef Sliders and they did look good. The Caesar Salad was fine. All in all, I wish the food was better. It was a convenient location and the atmosphere nice. I will try it again.

    Service is not improving. We arrived at the reserved time and the host told us we need to wait approx 15 min because there was a door line of 10 min. I questioned then, what is the difference to use this app and make a reservation if I need to wait the door line? Service is slow and there is not enough employees to absorb and support the clients. Place is awesome but service needs to improve.

    It took our waitress 45 minutes to serve our drinks, another 45 minutes to serve our food, and one guy in our group had to wait an additional 30 minutes (over an hour since the drinks arrived) to get his BURGER. The waitress claimed the delay was from another large group. However, we also had a reservation, the other larger groups sat down after us and they got served their drinks and food eons before us. We didn't stiff the waitress- actually, she still got a healthy 25% tip as the problems were clearly beyond her control- the bartenders, the cooks, etc. But I will tell you this- our company will not be back.

    Loved eating on the patio. Our waitress was excellent, helpful but not intrusive! I love the lunch specials and had the fish taco and cole slaw. I t was perfect for the hot afternoon.
