Mad River Tasting Room - Blue Lake

Awesome place all the way around! Great food, great brews and seltzers on tap, all reasonably priced. Gluten free options. Nice people, dog friendly! Beautiful views all around the place. Live music was bumpin last night. Definitely coming back again. If I'm anywhere in the area I'm stopping for food and fun. Epic- 6 stars actually! Thanks for making my vacation memorable.

Good beer and good food! The staff recommended the Steelhead Extra Pale Ale and it did not disappoint! We had a Country burger with tater tots and some wings, everything was great. There's outdoor seating with plenty of space and a lots of parking. Would definitely visit again!

Mad River Taproom is a low key, quiet spot to enjoy a great beer and some honest food. It's not fine dining, and its not exactly the place to bring small children. However the Taproom is a great place for friends to get together to watch a football game or enjoy a sunny afternoon.

I was yelled at and called a liar due to some tag anomaly on a keg. I got turned away trying to return the first time, and emailed about it. Was told to bring it in for deposit by tap room manager Wes. Below is a copy of the email. Ghey also fail to say return within six months, it is not on paperwork. Anyways he claimed I got the keg from Santa Rosa when I just bought the kegerator to cut down on recycling during covid, and it is the only keg I put in it. On top of it he said my keg rental privileges are revoked. Guess I won't go here anymore after over a decade of supporting them. I have been able to locate your original sales info from 6/22/2020. I cant speak to why there was any confusion at all in the process but I can tell you that I'm here to fix it. So long as there hasnt been any tampering with the keg in question, and its still in good condition, we would be more than happy to fix the mistakes and get you your deposit back. Now if you want said deposit in cases of beer, thats your call. Just come by during operating hours and ask for me.

Standard pub food, however they were out of just about everything so we had very little choices on food. The beer is good and refreshing, but may not be up to the high quality standards for some of you NorCal beer geeks. Great spot for kicking back with friends and socializing over a few ales.
