Matteucci’s

Love it here. Treated like a princess every time I come. On Thursday they have karaōke they have hot dogs it’s great time

Great neighborhood place. It’s kind of a dive bar, but it’s more of just a cool bar full of locals and lot’s of interesting things on the wall. Parking is easy as they are along a side street where the other businesses are closed at night. Good place to swing by if you just want a good beer and a relaxing time.

Friendly bartenders, great down to earth customers, interesting back yard patio and not a boring wall in the place. Only disappointment was the undersize 2 pool tables and tight pool room. Suggestion would be to take both tables out and bring in one real nice one. Position it sideways (northward/​southward) to eliminate the obstructions…

Fun atmosphere. Pretty, multi-​level garden space in the back. Two pool tables. Friendly service.

One of the worst bars I’ve ever been to, which makes it one of the best. Friendly bartender bunch of beers crappy wine pool tables mediocre bathrooms Bam Bam Bam its all good.

First time trying this place on Tuesday, it was alright. Really divey, and the mixed drinks weren’t the best but not the worst. Pretty cheap too.
Went again last night (Thursday) and it was much better! Drinks were better and the place was fairly busy.
Would go again :)

I love this place. It’s kind of old timey neighborhood bar. You go in and you’re greeted when you come in. The bartender asked if I was a new customer and I was and she bought me my first drink on the house which I thought was a very very good way to introduce a person to a neighborhood bar. The interior is modest kind of old timey as well. One of the great things was when you pull up you see the Blues Brothers statues over the building they’ve got it up on the roof for on one of the eaves there and it’s pretty funny to pull up to the Blues Brothers up there. They have a pool table. Are nice selection of beer and I don’t recall any food being served there but I certainly had a great time hanging out while I was there and made so welcome. Actually I do remember they had some hot dogs at the bar and I had one. I would recommend this place it’s kind of a fun place to hang out.

I first came here as a moronic 21 year old and hated this place. I let 10 years go by before stopping by again. What’s so great about it? It is a neighborhood bar for sure, you can tell when nearly every person walks in and the bartender acknowledges them by name or regular drink. That makes it feel welcoming even for the none regulars. Also I have noticed that the crowd is not the fresh 21 year old getting long island ice teas but a more low key older crowd. The bartenders are friendly and professional, thanks for asking for my id, my anti wrinkle cream must be working. There are actual tables with chairs too, so it would be a great place for 4 – 5 friends to sit down and catch up maybe a game of pool. Mind you I stop by with a friend on Fridays for about a 1.5 hours before 8pm so not sure how it is late night.

I have never once left a bad review. This one, however, deserves to be mentioned.
I walked into this bar with my service dog and my friend, excited to try one of the only bars around that actually serves alcohol. I was immediately told that «pets are not allowed.» I explained that it was a service animal, not a pet, and I showed my dog’s identification to the bartender and the random man confronting me.
As I went to take a seat, another man, apparently the owner, said something which I at first didn’t hear (I have a hearing disability-​hence, the service animal). When asked to repeat, he said, «Seriously, you can’t be in here. Get out.» I again explained that my dog was a service animal. He said, «I don’t care, get out.» I explained that what he was doing was illegal, and a violation of the ADA. I shared with him that I have a hearing disability (information I am not required to share). His response was «you can hear me now, can’t you? Get out.» I decided to leave, rather than give my money to such a despicable and disgusting person. I have never been treated differently because of my disability until this experience.
I am reporting his business to the ADA, the BBB, and the Attorney General. I sincerely request that you avoid this establishment, and take your money elsewhere. Millions of people in this country worked hard for disabled individuals to have a few basic rights pertaining to their needs. This man thinks he is above the law and above common decency, and his decision to humiliate and disrespect a customer should not be ignored.

Best patio in Marin … Great atmosphere. I come here every weekend to recharge my batteries.
Highly recommended.

Fun place to drink with friends and they have a decent pool table. Service was great and fast.

Definitely an interesting dive bar serving no frills drinks. A good variety of beers on draft and knowledgeable bartenders who can make most of your standard drinks.
Plenty of seating, 2 pool tables and a couple TV screens to catch the game.
Overall Thoughts
Good place to grab a drink and considering this is one of a few places open past 10pm you don’t have many other options in San Anselmo

I like that this place is right in San Anselmo. I like that it’s a dive. I like that it has a back patio. It’s a good spot for a cocktail now and again. I wouldn’t come here to watch a game — but it’s a nice stop off after shopping in the sunny, charm that is SA

I only drink when john gangidino is serving up the beer. beer seems
to go down easy and whisky smooth as water when you have old jonny G behind the
bar. if you really want an experience and find a place in history you go down in the early morning and have a drink on me-​just say the” FIST” sent you and the first drink is on me!
hick-​up

You had me at hello!
Who’d of thought that a dive bar would go above and beyond the call of duty? But that was my first mistake, because Matteucci’s isn’t a dive bar. it’s an old-​school neighborhood bar with an ecclectic, warm atmosphere.
When I called a few weeks ago to plan a surprise party for my beau, Dan was incredibly accommodating. We opted for a cash bar and he set us up with drink specials plus a place for our food. About 40 of us rolled in and the the bartender. darn I forgot her name was top notch and on it. Every time I needed something, she already had it handled!
So grateful to Dan and his staff for taking such wonderful care of us. it really made for a fantastic night and memories!

This is the most unfriendly, unwelcoming bar I’ve ever encountered. (And I’ve visited quite a few in my 60 years from Chicago to LA.)
With the exception of Ladonna, the bartenders don’t engage patrons AT ALL you lay your money down on the bar and you
treated as a nuisance. Bar house keeping seems to rule here F customers
I once asked for a hot dog, but they were out. I’ve seen people bring there own food here. No kidding.
F– but it could be something; add to the neighborhood.

Ahh the dirty tooch… so many memories… first of all, the location is kind of a trap… I mean it’s right there on that strip of land b/​w San Anselmo and San Rafael, and the parking lot is exposed to all five-​O driving by.
Other than that, they got the most comfortable stools in Marin, the drinks are strong and not so expensive. Kind of a rogue crowd, but then again, that’s what puts the dirty on tooch! Yeehahhh

One of my favorite watering holes in Marin… close to home. Great selection of music on the jukebox, pool tables, nicely kept secret is you can order a hot dog there and they will cook for you… or you can order food from any restaurant that will deliver and you can eat it there… The drinks are great. The bartenders are really nice. The prices are fair and in line… I don’t go often, but when I do I always have a great time…
A GREAT place to have a Marin Elite Unilocal party… (hint hint)

There’s nothing like a high school reunion, if that’s what you’re looking for. Personally I can pass on things like that. There’s a reason why I don’t speak with many of them anymore, and for those that I do, it’s very unlikely that I’ll run into them while at Matteucci’s.
Walking in to the bar, I spotted at least three people that I «hid» from that night, although it’s hard to hide in there. Not enough room behind the jukebox between the wall to slide in a get lost while drinking my Belvedere and soda. I had great company, which makes for the night of course, but otherwise, I really need to be inebriated to enjoy my time there. The location is convenient though, just a few minutes from my house and close to most of my friends, so carpooling and making sure we have a DD is a piece of cake.
After consuming a few beverages from the very friendly bartender (who did pour strong I must admit) we resided in the smoking area in the back. Nothing like a pouring wet night while huddling in the corner puffing on your cancer sticks with a nice strong beverage.
The counter’s were too dirty, as my wallet didn’t stick to the bar and my shoes did not stick to the floor. Bonus points for that one. Definitely a cleaner «dive» bar. Much better than the deuce or the peso in my eyes.
But there is a price to pay for having to listen to all that old crap from your «friends» when you ask benignly «How have you been?» I’ve learned another valuable lesson though, just to keep my mouth shut and not ask any questions next time I roll through those double doors.

What can I say about «The Tooch» that hasn’t already been said?
It’s a groovy wee dive bar in a place where groovy wee dive bars are in very short supply. Decent supply of beers on tap, and even decent-​er (?) supply of liquor. We strolled down there on Saturday night, and the place was pretty dead apart from the regulars (all six of ‘em) but still had a friendly atmosphere. Prices are city-​ish — $ 4.50 a beer — but you’ll likely make at least one new friend who’ll buy you one.
Bonus points for a couple of pool tables, and the Stella on tap!
