Ace in The Hole Cider Pub

Welcome to America's 1st Cider Pub! We're conveniently located on Highway 116 at Graton Road, 3 miles north of Sebastopol on your way to California's picturesque coastline and the many popular Russian River resorts. The Pub is open daily. See Pub Events Schedule for daily hours or phone: (707-829-1ACE)
Our expansive patio is an oasis in recycled redwood and features a soothing fountain. The perfect place to unwind with friends or to just kick back and sip some cider in the sun. Stop by to enjoy our delicious pub grub which now includes gourmet sausages, soups and snacks.
Look at the Menu

Jeffrey House, the founder and owner of the Ace-in-the-Hole Pub greets the guests himself and loves to chat over a pint of Ace Cider. The Ace in the Hole is a unique blend of cozy English country pub and rustic California saloon. You'll find that the pub's interior features the same sophistication of many of our renowned region's world class wine tasting rooms.
Our gleaming cider tanks will wink at you from the cidery right behind the pub as they work their magic, brewing up the next fermenting batch of Ace Cider.
Step up to the bar and start with our Special Sampler to taste all Five Aces!
We'll start your tasting tour with our newest of the ACES; Ace Joker Cider. Our Joker Cider is champagne like in flavor and has a 8% alcohol content. Better Watch Out! Then we'll have a taste of Ace Apple Cider, a dry cider, made from 6 varieties of apples, and the closest thing to a traditional European cider. Your third taste will be our Ace Apple Honey Cider with its distinctly rich finish. The Ace Apple Honey is one of the only honey ciders available in the U.S. Next you'll taste our very popular Ace Perry Cider. Our Perry Cider evokes the same flavors as a bite out of a freshly picked pear. Finally we'll try the Ace Berry Cider. Our Berry Cider is a special blend of raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. Summer sweetness! The best fish 'n chips we've ever had!

Hawk Hill, Marin Headlands


Directions To Hawk Hill, Marin Headlands,
immediately north of the Golden Gate:

From 101 going north: Cross over the Golden Gate Bridge, and take the second exit,
Alexander Ave. Stay in the left lane and you will come quickly to a stop sign. Turn
left, cross under the highway and staying in the right lane start the long climb up
Conzelman Road to the top of Hawk Hill. Continue up the hill to the gate where a
GMN staff person will check you in.

From 101 going south: Take the last exit before the bridge, after the tunnel, labeled
Sausalito, turn left onto Conzelman Road. See above for more details.

Seating- bring a low beach chair, pillow, or back jack type floor chair. Normal
height chairs will put you farthest away from the stage.

Dress warmly in layers- as the tunnel can be either toasty or on the cool side as we
will be perched above the Pacific Ocean. Rain or Shine.

Marin Youth Center (The MYC)

The MYC, guided by a youth adult advisory board, officially opened its doors to youth ages 11-20 in early October 2006. The primary motivation was identified by the advisory board through their creation of a mission statement.

Our mission is to provide an inspiring space created by youth and adults, supporting the development of young people’s talents, potential, and leadership skills through the arts, technology, and community service.

We support the fulfillment of our mission through reinforcing the following rules for all individuals (youth and adults) who enter the space: respect for self, respect for others, respect the space.

The MYC building is centrally located in downtown San Rafael. The space includes: a computer clubhouse with recording and sound studios, a commercial kitchen and café, an activity hall with modular stage and lighting, removable tables and chairs; meeting and lounge spaces, an art studio, and a counseling room.

Our youth and adult staff, volunteers, and program providers recognize the importance of investing, not just spending, time and energy with youth.

We seek to validate the individual identities of each youth in order to sustain their investment and commitment to The MYC. We are not just about creating programs but creating opportunities for breakthroughs with young people.

"Where everybody knows your name. It's CHEERS San Rafael Style."
- Marin IJ

In July 2006, the restaurant was purchased by Orsi and Sanchez, who renovated it into a refined eatery that merged the previously served pub fare with more sophisticated concepts from the owners’ other successful enterprises. Breakfast and brunch are now dominated by Mama’s-inspired fare such as Mike’s signature homemade pancakes, French toast, various styles of eggs Benedict and crab omelets while dinner features a number of Orsi specialties, such as pepper steak, house-cured prosciutto and his popular heirloom tomato dishes, including chicken cacciatore, pasta puttanesca and caprese salad.
