The Junction Beer Garden Mill Valley Reviews
Love it here! Perfect way to end a long run over the bridge and along the trail. 🙌 Also, I dream about the Italian chop salad - it’s so good!
Best pizza we have ever had. We got the OHIO. Beer was great. Fun tasting different beers. Super fun atmosphere, play games while you hang out. Even a kids playground. Which is amazing. Only complaint was we have never been there and figuring out how to order separately from the beer section and pizza section was very confusing but once you figure it out it was great. Can’t wait to go back! Five stars for sure!
We got there and it was busy outside, but not too busy inside. When we ordered drinks we got our drinks literally in a minute! We were impressed. Obviously the food took awhile because of all of the people outside, but the wait was worth it. The pizza was so gooooood. As well as the meatballs. Beer is never a bad idea! We had a sour, and a few ciders. Vibe is cute! Love that they had outdoor seating too.
Such an amazing place to be!!! Great outdoor sitting with live music, and indoor sitting available as well!!! Lounge area was amazing! Unfortunately I had my pizza to go! As mush as I would’ve enjoyed the live band with a beer, I couldn’t stay. Pizza was amazing!!! Everything else looked super good as well! Oh and one more thing, I think they should work on this or maybe I didn’t know about it. I couldn’t see the menu while I was in the line to order, I only got to see the menu when I went up to the hostess, I kind of felt rushed not from the employees but by just the fact everyone is waiting on me in the line. But over all experience was amazing!!! Will be back for dine in!
Great atmosphere welcoming to families with kids and dogs in particular. Lots of seating and ample parking behind the restaurant. Bar and restaurant are separate entities but orders go through the same QR code at the table. Food and drinks came out incredibly fast for how busy it was when we were there. The pizza is thon crust with a fired crust. Some of the flavor combos weren't for me but it was still tasty. Great selection of local beers on tap. Kale Cesar salad was yummy.
This is such a nice , cool place to eat and hangout. Food is delicious with amazing ambience. It’s hard to decide pizzas or sandwiches that’s why we order them all
Had a great time and the staff are the bomb. The pizza is excellent and the place is clean and comfortable.
We enjoyed our meal, everything was very good. I took a great IPA beer

This place is a true gem in Marin! Amazing beer selection, best pizza this side of the Golden Gate and regular live music, which fills a real gap in the community. If you haven’t been, make a point to as The Junction won’t disappoint!
Excellent pizza (crust in particular), the staff is always incredibly friendly, the family focused accommodations are ideal. My wife and I had our engagement party here and now we bring our daughter every weekend or two.
The pizza, salad and drinks are amazing! We enjoyed the outdoor space and energy of the crowd. The service is friendly and efficient. Must go to place after a great hike!!
Such a cool place! The drink selection was vast. Had a lot to offer. The pizza was top notch! Loved that they offered vegan cheese. It's rare to find a place that offers that. Everyone was friendly. The outdoor seating was awesome. Had shaded or sunny areas. Look forward to going back.
Came here not expecting much. The pizza was really good. Not true Neapolitan style, but crunchy and well made. Sauce was tasty and the pizza was well covered in toppings. The beer selection was also great. We’ll be back.

Great stop after a morning at Muir Beach. We grabbed a late lunch here. Kids enjoyed the pizza while we enjoyed the beer selection. The outdoor seating was very comfortable and even had a playground to keep the kids busy.
A very lively atmosphere and you can WATCH your pizza made fresh. We got this to-go and I thought it was very fresh and delicious. A nice thin and crispy crust with unique ingredients for toppings. We tried the Shroomer with Black Diamond Mushrooms, onion, garlic, fresh mozz, and tallegio cheese. My only complaint is that we ordered online and were told by text we would get a text when our order was ready. I called after 45 minutes and was told it was ready already. I do like getting food as fresh as possible, so despite having what looked like a robust online ordering system - that part in the process was annoying.
We usually go here for our office outings to celebrate or welcome someone new and roll with a group 10–16 people. It’s a great spot for groups and there are plenty of seating both inside and out. There are fire pits, sports on tvs, and shuffleboard. Parking is towards the back and can easily get packed on a busy day (sometime we just walk from our office to avoid this). The food is always good with a bit thinner on the bottom and a nice thick crust. We’ve tried an assortment of the pizza/salad selection and are always pretty solid no matter the choice, yet also not a specific standout. The beer/cider selection is pretty solid. The staff is always nice and accommodating. I will say the ability to not start a tab is very annoying for these work-sponsored events and creates numerous expense reports. We normally just throw down one card, but I guess this helps us stay on budget (or under lol).

Went here after a hike on the nearby Alta trail. Had their Saison which was very tasty. Also got a pizza from the attached (but technically separate) restaurant. Pizza was called Rocket Man and very tasty but didn't realize it didn't have sauce (that's on me). But also the description said it had chili paste on it but I didn't see it taste any. Overall still delicious and good selections if beer here. Would definitely go back if in the area.
Great local music spot. Has indoor & outdoor stages. Great pizza. Great beer. Beautiful outdoor space. Fire pits & heaters. VERY limited parking

We came here after a grueling 55-mile bike ride to get some food and were amazed at how friendly, welcoming, and amazing the staff was. The atmosphere and the people, not so much. From getting dirty looks to people just not being aware of their surroundings. I understand being a coach, but to be honest, it isn't a good look when your coach is giving a speech, drunk, and proceeds to say, "I'll be at the bar." It felt like the parents or coaches made it more about the beer than it was for the ceremony that was going on. Overall, you aren't setting a good example. To the very rude lady as we were leaving with our bikes who just wouldn't move, we asked you kindly, and it's not that hard to see two giant bikes trying to get by you! It's not that hard to step aside and be aware that someone is trying to get by you. I'm sorry, but these Marin people just feel like wannabe Hamptons. To the staff, y'all were amazing and professional!! S/O to the guy with the Goku shirt, you were amazing, and the people running food, taking our order, appreciate y'all. To the people that come in… let the entitlement go and go touch some grass. 🥱 Stop pushing alcohol on kids too, coaches.

We ordered a pizza and some beer and everything seemed great - until the pizza came and we noticed it had a strange fishy taste to it. Turn out that there were anchovies of it that we did not expect. We tried to tell the reps up front about this, but essentially they're response was: "deal with it". No redo of the pizza, no comped beer if that wasn't possible, just "oh whoops, that really sucks".. so not sure what to make of this place. Otherwise it seemed great and we really wanted to like it, but I can't get over a restaurant that just makes you deal with mistakes in orders. (And anchovies were the worst thing possible! They blend in, so are hard to remove and have a strong odor/flavor - like a landmine pizza!)
Very rude behaviour. We ordered a large kombucha ($20) and were later told we can only have it take-away which means to collect it at the bar or to have two small glasses insted. We asked for two glasses and later we realised based on the menu two glasses cost $16 so they ripped us off. Also, when we were leaving we asked at the bar a large kombucha to go and were asked to go back to our table and order from there. I recommend to treat your guests with more respect.
