Dining Experience
Casual and relaxed with indoor and outdoor seating, the perfect weather dictated grabbing a seat at a picnic table under the gentle canopy of lights. Plenty of tasty options for every palate, the Seafood Chowder chock-full of mussel, clams, shrimp, bits of bacon and potato chunks is among the best we’ve found outside of Maine. Simply delicious!
For dessert, French press coffee with liqueur and a few bites of indulgent apple pie with whipped cream seated next to the fire pits. The perfectly romantic way to complete your dinner experience!
Oldest Saloon in Marin County
Established in 1877, WTH is the oldest saloon in Marin County. A music friendly saloon with country flair and friendly bartenders, it’s a required post dinner stop. Saddle up to the bar and order up a tasty libation along with a little liquid courage before a little dancing and a sing-along at this local gathering spot. It’s a hoot!
Accommodations
An experience unto itself, the Inn offers tastefully decorated rooms located above the saloon reminiscent of what we recall from wild west movies. Self-check-in of the modern variety is as simple as keypad entry into the building and up the stairs. After retiring to our room for the evening, we felt transported back to the 1800’s as we joyfully listened to the celebratory singing and dancing happening just below us in the saloon. The saloon closes at 9:00 pm, so guests have plenty of time for a quiet and restful night’s sleep. Super comfortable beds with memory foam mattresses and cotton bedding left us fully refreshed for our following adventures. Book Online!
The pace is slower, the people friendlier and the scenery spectacular.
