Yardhouse: Finally A Reason To Go To River Park
Fresno is now complete. Went to Yardhouse over the weekend.
Food: good. Atmosphere: good (the keg room is especially impressive). Beer: excellent. So I think we're pretty done here people with chain restaurants moving in to town. It's not going to get better than this (we're kinda over waiting for a Dave & Busters), so let's just call it good.
Now, if somebody would get to work on "Fresno's" for us we're set.
Focused On Fresno: Take That Chico and Paso Robles, We Have A Brewery Too
Another nice edition to Downtown Fresno is officially up and brewing, and they now have the signage to prove it: Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Company.
They (and NoTown Roller Girls) even had a beer garden going Saturday, before the Grizzlies game:
Incoming!: Sudz In The City Saturday @ The Chuck
Ohhhh, so they finally got smart and opened up the 600 Club during Sudz In The City. Although it's VIP for another $25. Yeah, we get it, you gotta charge extra so you don't have us every drunkass douchebag stumbling around up in the club.
Bands that will be playing this year: DB & the Struggle, Super Lucky Catz, Motel Drive, On the Fly, Monkey Wrench and Annette Ash Trio.
Might be fun, might suck, either way we're glad it's still around and downtown.
