Be sure to check out some of these highly recommended restaurants and bars in the 95425 zip code while you're there!
♦ La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant ♦
La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant is simply charming. It's decorated in a bit of an over-the-top way, so you really feel like you've gone south of the border in a kind of kitschy way! We'd almost call it a theme restaurant. They've got the best chips and salsa in town, and all of their entrees and a la carte items are simply to die for. Our favorite would have to be the burritos! Wonderful service, and the restaurant is kept immaculately clean. You can find La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant on North Cloverdale Boulevard between Broad Street and 2nd Street!
♦ Ruth McGowan's Pub ♦
Ruth McGowan's Pub is one of the best brewpubs around. We love the staff here. They are so friendly and welcoming from the first moment that you walk in. Best of all are the garlic fries! No matter what we order here, we always make sure to get garlic fries with it. They are amazing. Of course they've got a fine selection of all the best microbrews and craft brews, and all your favorites too! Very comfortable atmosphere, clean and cozy. You can find this awesome pub on East 1st Street between North Cloverdale Boulevard and North Main Street.
♦ Bear Republic Brewery ♦
Bear Republic Brewery is another one of our favorite brewpubs in the area, and we love this one for the ice cold beer of course, in addition to the friendly service. The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed, and we love that you can see the tanks, plus the mash tun and brew kettle near the bar. It's surprisingly bright in here, kept clean and sparkling too, and the best thing of all is that this is the home of Racer 5. If you have not tried this excellent beer, it's time that you do. We think it's the best ever. You can find Bear Republic Brewery at 110 Sandholm Lane.
♦ Piacere ♦
Piacere is a beautiful Italian eatery that features many delicious pastas, steaks, fish, and much more. We love the pasta with sausage, and it's got plenty of peppers and onions in it that really add to the delicious flavor. The ambiance is formal and elegant, and it's a wonderful place to spend those special anniversaries or to celebrate the bigger moments in life. You will want to check Piacere out on North Cloverdale Boulevard between University Street and School Street.
