A full bar offers a selection of classic cocktails with a twist. Big screen TVs throughout the space make it the perfect spot to catch the game with friends.

Whether you’re craving a casual night out, a hearty meal or a perfectly poured beer after a day on the Dipsea, Bootjack or Tennessee Valley trails—Tam Tavern is here to be Mill Valley’s new trail-to-table hangout. Located at 152 Shoreline Highway in Mill Valley.
