The Block Petaluma

"Ok, drinks, but worst service you'll ever receive. There are literally 3 people walking around talking about how busy it is. Took 15 minutes for anyone to even take our order but heard them talking about how "so crazy it's so busy." Asked someone to tab out and he said "ya, one minute" ordered an Uber and then found out that in fact you had to wait in a line to tab out because they're so mediocre they have 1 POS machine. Missed my Uber because they're not just too cheap to have one machine but dishonest to tell me they are taking care of me. Save yourself some time and hate and go somewhere else. Honestly, this pace will not be open long, too many better places to go in the area."

"I'm a professional musician who recently had a gig at the Block. I was excited about my first time performing there. I arrived at 6:30pm, and there was NO space for artists to park. There were vehicles(other customers) parked at the concrete factory behind the venue, I had cars parked on both sides of me(obvious that other people had the same thought), but NO obvious outdoor signs near the parking area. I came back an hour later and my car was GONE! None of the other cars were missing...even though they were parked in same area. Inside the venue there were small little pamphlet near the bar that described the parking situation, but it was a futile attempt as I was outside in the patio and performing. It got towed, and cost me 600$ + my pay for the night, as well as created a super stressful experience. The bartenders told me to reach out to the owner who said they have been struggling to deal with the concrete factory next door... I asked him if others had been towed, and he said yes, and he would get them in contact with me...Then just completely flaked out on responding to me about the whole matter. Would not recommend any musicians perform here without clear agreements about parking...Very disappointing experience dealing with the owner, and I don't recommend this place."

"I was introduced to The Block when one of our business partners invited us to an after work get together to share a beer and talk a little business. It's a really laid back atmosphere where you can sit outside in the sun or around a fire pit, or sit inside by the bar. Either way, there's plenty of seating. You order your food at a counter outside, and you get some really good options! The bar offers a wide selection of some great beers including some of the best local brews. All and all, I like coming back with friends to enjoy a great time."

"Great open area with lots of seating. There is a pizza place and a bar with beer and cocktails. There is also a couple of rotating food trucks/stands. Dog friendly too!"

"Fun venue next to the grain mill. Live music, good selection of beers and cocktails. Kid and dog friendly"
