A neighborhood record
That loud music? It’s not just you.
Amplified music from The Junction Beer Garden — Tuesdays/Wednesdays.
Neighbors across the area — and well beyond — can hear this music.
The Junction Beer Garden & Bottle Shop recently opened and hosts live bands that perform on top of the 300-foot hill almost every week. It is too loud. Many of us feel it is disruptive to the peace of our neighborhood, especially since it happens in the middle of the work week.
If the loud music bothers you, you can help us by letting us know. We are putting together a list of people adversely affected by the noise and will demand the City of Santa Rosa find a solution.
Even if it only bothers you somewhat, your signup still counts — the size of the list is what matters.
What is happening
The Junction Beer Garden & Bottle Shop (3901 Montgomery Drive) operates an outdoor stage in its hilltop beer garden and hosts ticketed, amplified concerts nearly every week — typically on weeknight evenings from 6 or 7 pm until about 10 pm.
The venue sits about 80 feet above the surrounding neighborhood (venue elevation roughly 301 ft; nearby streets around 220 ft). An elevated outdoor stage has clear line-of-sight over the rooftops, so amplified sound carries into single- and two-story homes and apartments blocks away, including indoors with windows closed.
Event dates, start times, and ticketing are taken from the venue's own published music calendar.
Why we are collecting this
We are compiling a documented record of affected households to present to the City of Santa Rosa — city council, code enforcement, and permitting. One complaint is easy to dismiss as a single sensitive neighbor. Dozens of documented households across the neighborhood are not.
Signing up takes about two minutes. You choose how involved you want to be — from simply being counted, to providing a written statement, to speaking at a council meeting.

One more thing you can do: call the police when the music is loud
Call the Santa Rosa Police non-emergency line when the music bothers you: (707) 528-5222. You may call each time the music is loud at your home. Each call is a separate record, and that record matters.
When you call, you can say something like “it is too loud and disruptive” or “it is disturbing our family.” Give the name of the restaurant and the venue address, The Junction Beer Garden & Bottle Shop, 3901 Montgomery Drive, so the call is logged to the venue and not just to your home.
They may say the venue has a permit. The permit allows live music, but it does not allow music so loud that it disturbs the peace. Ask for a call reference number and keep it.
Another thing you can do: file directly with the City
This list documents the neighborhood. A complaint filed with the City creates an official record — and the more of those exist, the harder this is to ignore. It takes about five minutes: describe your own experience, include dates and times, and name the venue (The Junction Beer Garden & Bottle Shop, 3901 Montgomery Drive).
