Moylan's restaurant and brewpub opened in August 1995 at Rowland Plaza. Owned and operated by Brendan Moylan, co-owner of Marin Brewing Company in Larkspur, Moylan's features a full-menu for lunch, dinner, and anywhere from 5-10 of its own microbrews on tap.
Moylan, a life-long Bay Area resident, brought to Novato more than 18 years of brewing experience which began with his first home-brew kit and culminated in a brand new brewery constructed of his own design from the ground up.
After taking extension classes on brew techniques at UC Davis, Moylan became a partner in Marin Brewing Company, which opened in April of 1989.
Brendan moved his family from San Francisco to Novato fourteen years ago because he wanted to raise his two children in the city's small town atmosphere.
"My adopted home town was the natural choice for a brewery," he said. Enter Novato's only brewpub, a $3.5 million project that has established a strong following among North Marin's beer connoisseurs. Moylan brought with him Paddy Giffen, an assistant brewer at Marin Brewing Company, who still serves as Moylan's head brewmaster. By constructing the brewpub in an empty lot from his own vision, Moylan was able to increase efficiency and productivity, while still leaving room for expansion as the establishment's popularity grows.
"It just all seemed to fit," he said. "I decided to go for this spot and build my own building because I knew I wouldn't have to second guess myself. "I could have put in pool tables and turned it into just a bar, but I prefer it this way because it's a more family-style setting where people feel comfortable. It's a nice marriage of food and beer."
Moylan's building features a 57-foot bar and dart room complete with a fireplace and small library dedicated to literature on, you guessed it, beer brewing.
