Best sweet potato fries in town!! The staff are always super nice and helpful, there's an ample selection of drinks, the food is delicious, and the patio is dog friendly! One of my fav bars in Chico.

Visited July 2 2026. See my receipt as always. What a fun place to have lunch! It has indoor seating and outdoor shaded seating. Puppy friendly! We shared the black forest ham spatzle ( not sure if I spelled it correctly) which is a German inspired dish. It was delicious! Noodles cooked perfectly with plenty of ham and goodness in the bowl! First time I tried something a bit different and glad we ordered this ( came specially for this house favorite). Full bar with a ton of craft beers to choose from! The place is bicycle themed with a bike shop next door. Very cool and casual! When we left it was already very busy! I will come again because I really liked this dish plus the parking lot was shaded with beautiful trees and outside had a nice breeze!

We were really pleasantly surprised when we stopped in here recently. We have been on the hunt trying different espresso martinis wherever we go lately! This place has an awesome twist with their Mexican Mocha Martini that is outstanding!

Great place to catch a late night meal. Dishes are well above basic pub fair and service is fantastic. Indoor and outdoor seating. One indoor zone is more sports bar like with screens while there are quieter corners of the place as well.

This is one of my parent’s favorite spots in town and I’m so happy they took me here. Their outdoor patio is dog friendly and their food and service was wonderful! Full beer selections, everything on the menu sounded absolutely delicious, and they are even right next to one of the higher quality bike shops in the area! Will definitely be back next time I’m in Chico, CA!
