Beer is tasty, interesting, varied. The tunes were all toe tappin goodies and the beer tenders are friendly.. I wanted to stay, keep drinking beer and close the place down... But I dont have the energy to defend that decision to the wife... Ill have to bring her next time! π
By far the best beer tap room Ive ever visited in my life! The natural wines are amazing tons of beer on tap and hundreds of beers and ciders by the bottle. God bless this location
WOW!!! This place is incredible! Ryan is so friendly, personable, and beyond knowledgeable. He has worked in the beer industry for years and can tell you literally everything about every beer in his shop. You can chill out in the shop and its outdoor seating; sipping on drinks and chilling out. Or bring your favorite beer home! Libation has great prices on 4 and 6 packs! And you can create your own 4 pack of any unique craft beer combination you can think of of to take home! You can find craft beer here you wouldnt find anywhere else! I couldnt recommend this place enough. Its so fun!!
Way more micro management of the outside area than seemed necessary or required. Update: the manager came and found me, and called to me by name. This never, ever happens. He asked why I gave 3 stars. I informed him 5 stars dont go out often, 4 is excellent, and 3 is average. He pressed, I told him what occurred and he said he would speak to the staff. While making it a point to address the issue is admirable, fact is, I do not give out 4 stars often, and 5 stars even less. I have only been to this location twice and I was working both times. I cannot bump up a star because I was engaged. I have metrics I adhere to. If they are satisfied, then I adjust appropriately. Until then, it remains 3 stars, which means it is a solidly average bar. I have been to enough to know the difference between a 3,4, and the rare 5. My reviews reflect myself as much as the owner. I want my ratings to mean something. When my experience hits a 4 or 5, I want folks to pay attention, otherwise, being solid should be fine. I certainly feel in the spotlight, and that is never good. I wasnt looking for it.
Adrian Blumberg is a tool. Great selection of beers, friendly staff. You get what you come for.

Service is amazing and the product is top notch. Dont stop what youre doing.
Great service and an awesome little patio area!

This has become my favorite beer spot since it opened, I cant say enough good things about Libation! Its the perfect setting for enjoying quality beer at reasonable prices.The selection is phenomenal. Between the numerous taps and fridges stocked full with beer, you will always find something youll love. Its updated so frequently that Im excited to see whats new every time I go back.The entire staff is both knowledgeable and friendly, and will definitely help you make a selection based on your preferences. The layout and atmosphere makes it easy to sit down and chat with friends of youd like, or move around and talk with other beer lovers. Very well designed and set up.I highly recommend Libation to anyone who is a fan of beers, and especially sours!
Great beer and fantastic staff. Beer togo is awesome rn. Best beer in Marin, free parking on the weekends at the parking lot right next door!
Prices arent so cheap, but they offer 5oz glasses. What can make it an inexpensive evening is that you can bring your own food and picnic. There is also free popcorn. The atmosphere is great and it looks like they are making a pallet outside.
Really cool spot with delicious beers including the occasional hard to finds at a reasonable price! They had about 12 taps and 6 fridges of cans and bottles. The taps change frequently so visit often! Staff was helpful and nice. Ill definitely be back!
This is a great beer lovers hangout. (Yes they also have some wine and ciders). The owner is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The selection is the best in Marin without a doubt. The last time I was there, they had a food cart popup so you could even get some food. All you can eat popcorn for free too! You are going to enjoy going back to this place again and again.
Beer. Wonderful beer. Something something god is good because beer. - Benjamin Franklin (not verbatim)This place is an awesome little shop and tasting room for local beers. Wow. What a place this is with a variety of beers of different styles. Stop in and pick up cans or bottles from the massive fridges.The staff is nice and the space is clean and warm to sit with friends or alone.I just wish they had snacks to eat because its easy to get wasted on an empty stomach after work.PS the picture is blurry I know, but thats usually the view youll have here.
Great selection, both on tap & in the coolers; a great addition to San Rafael and will definitely be a must-stop on future visits to NorCal!
Walked in... Walked out... Packed and loud on Fri night. Good for them, bad for us... 3 star review because of picked over selection of bottles/cans and seemingly limited to really high priced options.
Amazing beer selection, they get the best of the bay area on tap and to go. Great, friendly staff and a fun crowd!
Small, but pleasant enough. Reasonable selection of taps.
First time here and I have to say this place is great, clean, chill and they have the best selection in reggae music and beer.
Incredibly knowledgable staff and owner that will help you find just the right brew for you! Clean and friendly establishment that draws its share of regulars, they must be doing something right!
This guy did it right. Quality build out with accompanying quality beers. Thanks for making it happen.
This is the spot. Amazing selection. Fun people. Got ya covered.
