A bar that’s worth a designated driver. And airplane mode.
Some 20 minutes after opening on the Friday afternoon ahead of a holiday weekend, Ernie’s Tin Bar at the tip of the Bay Area is starting to lose its open bar stools.
The bar’s interior is about the length of a school bus and just as compact, but the tight quarters reflect the establishment’s ethos of coming together, shoulder to shoulder, to have a pint and a chat. Honoring the time together is such a noted attribute of the bar that betraying it could end up costing you.
He’s social, but not chatty, and his investment into this community is apparent. He allows a nearby CSA to run its farm box pick-ups from inside the bar, so they don’t have to waste time waiting. Like a good barber, he’ll take your secret to the grave before it hits the street. When a patron orders a third cider, Altenreuther offers a non-judgmental reminder that the alcohol content is higher than what they might have anticipated.
Its isolated location — 6 miles from Petaluma and about 10 miles from Sonoma — indicates how Ernie’s is a social hub for those who live remotely. “Right after we took over, the first thing I did was bring in Coronas,” Altenreuther said. “Even that was a controversy for some customers at the time. They said, ‘He’s changing things!’”Over the last 23 years, Ernie and Chris expanded the taps to 20 handles that span the amber spectrum from light lagers to triple IPAs. Kegs are changed often; some of the most popular beers can tap out after just a few days. Bottles and cans are still available.
