Tam Tavern and East Brother Beer Co
Restaurateur Bill Higgins and East Brother Beer Co. have joined forces to create Tam Tavern—a lively new Mill Valley spot where elevated pub fare meets award-winning craft beer. With chef-driven menus, rotating taps, and craft cocktails, it’s the perfect blend of food, drink, and community at the foot of Mount Tam.
Born in Mill Valley. Brewed in Richmond. Built for the Bay.
Tam Tavern is a true homegrown collaboration. Restaurateur Bill Higgins (Buckeye Roadhouse, Bungalow 44, Corner Bar, Playa) partnered with longtime Mill Valley friends Chris Coomber and Rob Lightner—founders of East Brother Beer Co.—to create a destination where elevated pub fare meets exceptional craft beer.
Chef
Fresh off a Bib Gourmand win for his role at Playa, along with a Best New Restaurant accolade from Marin Magazine for Corner Bar, consulting chef Michael Siegel designed a menu built for pairing: Bavarian pretzels, bratwursts, beer-battered fish & chips, smashburgers, pork schnitzel, crisp salads, and wood-fired pizzas.
Behind The Bar
Behind the bar, 10–15 rotating taps showcase mostly German and English-style brews—think crisp Bo Pils and Mexican lagers, rich oatmeal stouts, dark Bavarian lagers, and even a malty Belgian Tripel. Beer takes center stage in the cocktail program too, with inventive shandies and beer-infused riffs on classics like the Old Fashioned, alongside a full bar of timeless favorites.
Big Screens, Beer Gard, Game Rooms
With big screens for game days, shuffleboard and darts in the game room, and a spacious outdoor beer garden complete with fire pits, Tam Tavern is designed as a true gathering place for friends, families, and neighbors.
