Beers and Bikes in Santa Rosa

Bikes and beer are a big part of what makes Santa Rosa special, and now they come together to create the perfect post ride watering hole.

While there isn’t always time for another loop in Annadel, there’s usually a few minutes for friends to share a beer and chat about your ride. Santa Rosa’s most bike-friendly ale house and cafe is located at the foot of some of Northern California’s preeminent singletrack. The space is a combination craft beer/coffee shop/showroom that features indoor and outdoor bicycle parking, bike rentals and demos of high-end bikes.

The Trail House was created by Shane Bresnyan former manager of the Bike Peddler and current tap jockey at TrailHouse, and Glen Frant former the pro cyclist and owner of NorCal Bike Sport and The Bike Peddler.

Inspiration came from years of riding the world famous trails and roads around Santa Rosa and always yearning for the perfect spot to decompress and connect with like-minded individuals. You really can’t blame them – can you imagine a ski resort without a lodge?

Whether you come on two wheels or two feet, the feeling’s the same: sit back, put up those tired dogs, and skip the coasters.
