Location
Known and loved by dancers throughout Sonoma County and beyond, we’ve been told that Monroe Hall has the finest dance floor in all of Northern California! The hall boasts a beautiful maple floor — originally laid in 1947. The floor offers resiliency due to its premium construction and a twice-yearly treatment with lemon oil. The ambience of the hall harkens back to a time of comfort and grace – and reflects its history as a social hall (starting in 1922). While resting between sets, dancers can gaze at the original warm redwood walls lined with horseshoes from mules, oxen, and horses; a collection of square nails, painted saw blades, old farm equipment, antique fire extinguishers and much more.
Directions
Monroe Hall is located at 1400 W. College Ave., Santa Rosa

Saturday dinner features Michael Martin’s homegrown salad greens and locally-sourced tamales. Sunday breakfast includes organic multigrain pancakes, local fresh fruit, and sausages. A list of nearby places to eat will be at the Hall.
