Fantastic selection of beers. A must visit stop for anybody in Anderson Valley
An absolute must see brewery. The iconic Cali micro brewery in the heart of the “new” wine country.
Great brewery we stopped by on our way to Mendocino! So glad we did 🙂 They had a great selection of beers and had a nice outdoor patio with plenty of board games and heated lamps. Many people brought their dogs with them to hang out in the outdoor patio. There was also a large outdoor space for people to play frisbee golf after beers. They even do onsite tours of the brewery. They don’t have a restaurant but have some snacks indoor. They also have a gift shop inside. This was all set amongst some beautiful outdoor scenery. They even have a Pokémon gym, lol
Clean water makes for good beer
Great spot for great beer. Just a journey to get there!
Made a quick detour here to try some beers while on our way out to the coast. The tasting room was in the process of renovations but was very clean and has a lot to promise when it’s finished. They have a large open area behind the tasting room for dogs and kids to play. Beer tasted great and the location is family friendly.
They have beer.
Well, I guess we went on an off day. We we’re looking forward to a tour but, we were practically ignored. Maybe call first if you plan to go.
1/2 hour wait to get a beer. Only 1 bartender. Crazy
Time is money. People leaving.

Mike is very knowledgeable and accommodating. He helped my daughter string and tune her guitar. What a great place!!!
I trust this man with my guitars. A gem in this town.
I read the reviews before I moved to Ukiah, weighing whether to take a new guitar back to Guitar Center in Vegas for a half-assed setup or wait for a small town shop in my new location. I’m glad I waited. Mike was exceptional. He did top notch service on my new Ibanez Premium. It seriously plays effortlessly. He dressed the fret ends, made truss rod adjustments, and fully intonated this beast and it surpassed every expectation. Not only that, he resolved factory QC issues that should have been done before it shipped involving the string locks.
If you’re expecting a smiley sales guy who will blow smoke up your rear to sell you a junk guitar, Mike’s probably not going to be your cup of tea. However, he’s a legitimate guitar player and luthier that knows his trade and does the work quickly and efficiently for a superb price.
I’ve heard through ibanez fan sites I should have expected up to $200 for the services performed. He did it for $100, with new strings, in an afternoon and gave me same day pickup. The man will have all of my business from here out.
Chill local guitar shop. Helpful and knowledgeable, I’ll be back.
The prices of his items are overpriced when I can get everything he sells for cheaper on Amazon. He also low balls customers if you want to sell him your guitar. If I were you, I would just go to another shop.
The owner is rude, and the merchandise is overpriced. $70 for a set of bass strings, got the exact same set for half that online. I wouldn’t recommend visiting, you’re better off finding a different store

Really cool little shop! It had so many neat instruments and the people working there were so nice and helpful. 10/10 must see shop!
Fantastic owner and great business! I was looking into buying a guitar there but didn’t like the way it played so he lowered the action, oiled the frets and replaced the strings for me! I came in the next day and it played so much better and smoother so I bought it!
Great tuners! Bought 2.
5. Music Merchant
Address: 337 N Franklin St, Fort Bragg, CA 95437 , Boonville , California , United States
Nice little music and tabletop games store. Has CDs , instruments , music supplies , 40k , and Magic tcg stuff.
Some movies and video game stuff as well.
I have brought friends to shop here. Some nice vintage Ukuleles. Brian is kowledgeable and friendly. They have nice beginner inztruments.
This sneaky little hole in the wall is home to more awesome stuff than you can shake a stick at.
He’s got animes, dvd rentals, tabletop figurines and paints, collectable card games, and more!
You wouldn’t ever guess the treasures in this shop by the windows – no window displays for this business, just a few posters facing the street…
The thriving community of gamers that always seems to be present, and the knowledgeable and friendly owner made me feel immediately at home – prices are reasonable too! 🙂
Awesome place!
Not only a variety of old-school CDs, but a fair range of instruments here for the aspiring musician. A surprisingly versatile array of gaming equipment and collectibles. The dude who runs the business is knowledgeable and friendly. Worth a visit!
Great place for MTG as well as string in instruments, CDs, etc. Very friendly and helpful.
For a shop advertised as a music store, they only had about 10 guitars and they didnt want you to touch them or play them. They had tooooooons of war hammer and dnd stuff though so if you’re a nerd then you’re set. Very unwelcoming environment honestly, it was awkward and quiet and kinda cluttered and nothing seemed organized.

Great quality work very detailed if he is working on your instruments, very educational if you want to learn something new, very polite owner, and great instruments for amazing prices.
We and our 11 year old son love having Jim as a guitar teacher. He really connects with his students by helping them learn to play music that they enjoy listening to and have an interest in daily.
Nice little guitar shop with good quality instruments and amplifiers for beginners and advanced musicians alike… Check it out
Really small store, instruments are (mostly) fairly priced (lots of used & refurbished) but parts & accessories are kind of expensive.
Neat little place
Lesson was good
I found Jim to be cold and disinterested, borderline hostile unfortunately. I order the strings he has never heard of online. Jim appears to be a bit of a fence. I would question the provenance of an instrument from this shop. The music shoppe from a Stephen King film.
7. Stanroy Music Center
Address: 850 4th St, Santa Rosa, CA 95404 , Boonville , California , United States
Great local vibe. Willing to help with all your music needs. Great prices and different brands.
Always a positive mood and vibe when you walk in. Great guest service! They pay attention to what you need and most of the time they’ll have it. Definitely going back
Love to listen to 4th Street Brass play!
Siempre que necesitó algo voy ahí
Great guitar store.
Helpful service people, variety of instruments and lessons, parking lot a nightmare
Took my vinyage 70’s modified stratocaster to be flipped from a righty to a lefty and they didnt even flip the nut they just used some glue to raise the strings to make them fit. Seemed like they didnt care about doing a good job or doing the job right just to get it done as fast as possible and collect there money. Dissapointed because i always try to help local business over corporate monsters like bananas but even at bananas i feel like the staff is more attentive. If your a high class snob this might be your perfect fit.
Muchos instrumentos musicales hechas en China .
I love the environment in this store and is my preferred music store for my brass needs.The only complaint is the repairman in the back was very rude to me and I could wait to get out after he talked to me.
8. Mendocino Music Recyclers
Address: 160 W Henry St, Ukiah, CA 95482 , Boonville , California , United States
This place has great service, and awesome gear. It more of a modification shop which is perfect for me since I’m trying to achieve my own sound, but they have awesome amps and guitars from time to time it just a matter of stopping by and checking it out.
9. Bandbox Music
