"“Well ya see, Norm, it’s like this… A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”"

Welcome to the Toad in the Hole Pub.  We are a local pub, in the heart of Santa Rosa’s Old Railroad Square, based on the great traditions of the British Public House.  We believe in the simple things in life, good food, good beer, and good times.

We believe strongly in well-crafted and unique beers, and offer fresh Cask Ales every Tuesday.  We believe in sustainable and local development, which is why our wines are locally made, and our ingredients are fresh and local.

Check our calendar for local and traveling bands, open mike, football, and anything our patrons like.  After all, we are your pub.
