Description: Located in Sonoma County, you might wonder how a brewery in the heart of California"s wine country could make such distinctively flavorful beers. With awards too plentiful to list, the Bear's creations are too good to miss. Founded in 1995, the Norgrove family and Bear Republic Brewing Company strive to foster a sense of loyalty and tradition from eras gone by. From the humble beginnings of home brewing, to the demanding process of commercial brewing, came the realization that to produce the distinctive flavors and aroma we found appealing required the founding of our own Brewery and Brewpub. The Norgrove Family invites you to come by for good, healthy food and our award winning ales and lagers. Located on the corner of Healdsburg's historic downtown square, our family environment guarantees a good time for all!

If its a hot day, sports event, party, or weekends I recommend coming earlier in the day but during the week it's okay but again this has a vibe of being a sports bar so if you want to come here for sports events you should go over to HBG.

$34 for casual lunch for burger, pulled pork bun and 2 cokes a bit pricey but nice location and good service. Very noisy inside so we ate outside even though very hot. Food ok but walking around Healdsburg seemed an expensive place.

We've really been enjoying Racer 5 IPA in bottles, so when we were in Healdsburg recently we went in to Bear Republic Brewing to sample the full range of brews with a pub lunch. The black-and-blue burger was very good, the garlic fries were good too (ask for ranch dressing), all above average for brewpub fare. But we were a... More

If you are into craft beer or you just need a break from wine tasting in Russian River Valley or Alexander Valley regions, stop by! Just off the square in downtown Healdsburg, this brewery produces some great products. Racer 5, Red Rocket and Hop Rod Rye are 3 of their most popular selections. What I really like is that the...

I'm surprised by the number of reviews that are critical of the service. I've been here twice and both times the service was better than satisfactory. We found our waitress to be helpful, friendly, and efficient. The beer selection is excellent and the selection of cheeses and charcuterie is far above average. The hamburgers and fish and chips (delicious ling... More

My boyfriend and I were taking a road trip from Florida across the states. While in California we stopped here. First customers in at 11am. Ryan was our bartender and he was awesome. He not only took care of us beer and food wise, he completely is a traveler like us. He gave us great tips about what to do... More

Good place for a burger. There are a lot of great places to eat in town, and this wouldn't be my first choice, but its good if you want something simple...and want beer/not wine.

We had a hard time seeing the restaurant from the street given the fact that this was our first time in Healdsburg, but once we parked we had no problem locating it with the help of the sign poles locatet at every intersection. We sat outside and it was very relaxing. The service was fast and great, the beer was... More
