 www.rionidoroadhouse.com #707-869-0821 The back patio is definitely a more intimate setting in the winter, perfect for the smaller, less amplified bands. You can still get jazzed up with the bands we’ve booked–blues, jazz, folk, rock. Come dine, drink, and dance. Some of our customers are still singing Unchain Me, Unchain My Heart, and Unchained Melody…park on the side and around the back. Anything’s better than traipsing through a muddy, rut-filled lot! We’re still here to serve you and having fun while we do it!

Friends of Rio Nido (FRN) is making a last-minute entry in the Guerneville Parade. Here’s the latest if you’d like to join them:
We’re making a late-breaking end run to get an FRN entry for the Guerneville Festival of Lights Parade. The parade is on Saturday, down main street, and starts at 7pm.
If you are available to help us string some lights, blow up some balloons, make signs, etc. meet us at 3pm on Saturday at the Rio Nido Post Office.
If you want to skip the labor, and just join in on the fun and walk in the parade with us, to hand out candy, meet us at the dark green 1967 F100 Ford pickup truck sometime before 6:30pm on Saturday.
EITHER WAY bring a fake beard (or your real one 😉 since we’re playing off the “Miracle on 34th Street” theme, which is the theme of the parade this year. Though we may have a few extra beards if you don’t have access to one.
And regardless, ENJOY THE SEASON (AND THE RAIN) EVERYONE!

Photograph by Nick Charles You can join the Wyeths the day before Christmas when they’re all together at the family home in Palm Springs for the first time in 6 years, by making your reservation online here to see Other Desert Cities. Written by Jon Robin Baitz and directed by Jacquelyn Wells, the play opens November 28 (with a gala opening!) and runs through December 21 at the Rio Nido Lodge.
Come see why this brilliant, many-layered dark comedy was called “the most richly enjoyable new play for grown-ups…in many seasons” by the NY Times.
Please note that the Gala is scheduled for opening night, Friday, November 28. No leftover turkey will be served.
Here’s a historic image we thought we’d share.
