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.

Because we are sexy sexist pigs here at the Barfly, we are starting with MALE bartenders only…but don’t worry, female bartenders will [...]
