These neighborhoods are close to the Whole Foods Market and other businesses along Miller Avenue. The 2am Club is probably the best-known bar in Mill Valley. It’s been a favorite neighborhood gathering place since before prohibition, and it is featured on the cover of the Huey Lewis and the News’ album Sports. Miller Avenue is also home to the Marin Theatre Company and a great choice of international restaurants. Enjoy flavorful Puerto Rican cuisine at Sol Food, classic pizzas at Tamalpie, and frozen yogurt and ice cream at Mill Valley Swirl. Downtown Mill Valley is around 10 minutes away by car.
