The mens restroom always seems to smell like piss! If it wasn't for that I'd give the place 5 stars

Pool. Karaoke. Darts. Good selection of beer and spirits. Located just outside the edge of town the menu boasts the best burger IN town. It does not disappoint. The crowd before midnight is more mature. Also a great quality.

Good place to play pool, Kareoke and grab a drink with friends. There is a nice covered outdoor area with a fire pit. When I went here on a Kareoke night. I felt like some of the people I met there had been over served alcohol. Some of these people were drunk and made me uncomfortable. I think the owners need to be aware of this issue.

Have you ever had a burger that was so good, that you savored every last bite? Well, come here on a Friday or Saturday night when Ryan is cooking, and order a Brook Burger. This burger has all the "umami" you need to experience what I described above. This unassuming roadhouse destination has one of the tastiest burgers you'll ever enjoy in Sonoma County, hands down!

I went to The Willowbrook for my billiards league. I heard they served great burgers so I got there early. Getting the bartender's attention was a bit annoying but I understood that it was a locals bar. I ordered a Brook Burger and when it came it was amazing, huge, delicious. I'll go back just for that. Also, as it was Thursday, there was live Bluegrass and they were awesome.
