Re-opened as Downtown Joe's Brewery and Restaurant. Same beer, but they completely removed the fun friendly atmosphere that Willett's had, including the enormous beer can collection that used to be behind the bar and on the walls. Now it's more like a hotel bar, very sterile. Too bad. We used to run into the folks from Brown Street Brewery here, back when Brown Street was still a brewery.
Directions: From San Francisco, take 80 East to 29 North to Napa. Exit at First Street and head east into town. First Street winds around and changes its name along the way, but follow it all the way to the end at Main Street. Willett's will be across Main Street, directly in front of you.
