Paying Tribute with Electric Funeral, Covers with Tempus Fury….

Filed under: Bars, Cotati, Dive Bars, Live Music, Music Reviews, Sonoma County by zinchick

According to Wikipedia, the definition of the term “cover band” and “tribute band” are interchangeable. Lance Ozanix from Electric Funeral prefers the term “tribute band” to describe his Ozzy-Sabbath procession. The headlining band on this particular November 20th evening, Tempus Fury, refers to them selves as a “cover band”. In my humble, audio-phallic opinion, there [...]

The Northwood + Cougartown = Cougarwood

Filed under: Bars, Monte Rio, Restaurants, Russian River, Sonoma County by Girl Wonder

Forgoing another exciting Saturday in the glamorous metropolis of Santa Rosa, my cohort and I headed out to the Russian River to visit the Northwood Restaurant, located on the Northwood Golf Course, Hwy. 116 between Monte Rio and Guerneville, to see what was up. We both had the sneaking suspicion that the regular weekend patrons [...]

First Impressions: Forestville Club

Filed under: Bars, Dive Bars, Forestville, Live Music, Sonoma County by Girl Wonder

“Wow, it’s dark in here.”
You are almost obligated to utter this phrase the moment you step into the inky depths of the Forestville Club, (Front St, Forestville). Indeed, everyone who entered after us did exactly that. It’s kind of hard to judge the typical crowd of a bar when you visit on a sunny, Sunday [...]

Stumptown Brewery Knows More Than You.

Filed under: Bars, Brewery, Pub, Sonoma County by Girl Wonder

I’ve avoided Stumptown (River Rd., Guerneville, closed Monday and Tuesday) for a while now because someone gave me the erroneous information that they did not serve liquor, only beer and wine. I am happy to report that that is not true. They do have a full bar. I found this out when a friend and [...]

Free Shit

Filed under: Shameless Self Promotion by Girl Wonder

Free shit is quite possibly my favorite word combination ever, next to “another 40% off clearance.” This week we gave away bar swag to five lucky winners on our Facebook page because they were the first five replies to promotion. Want some free shit? Be our fan on Facebook.

It’s nice shit – t-shirts, hats, polo [...]

What Happens in Cotati, Stays in Cotati

Filed under: Bars, Cotati, Dive Bars, Live Music, Pub, Sonoma County by Girl Wonder

The Barflies were out after a long hiatus, so we decided to hit Cotati to see what was happening. Turns out, on a Thursday night at about 9pm, nothing is happening in Cotati.
“Oh, it’s still early,” someone said to me in the bar, “things pick up a lot later.” It’s true – Cotati is a [...]
