This was a phenomenal experience. Everyone here makes you feel welcomed, and the atmosphere is so relaxed for a bar environment. There's plenty of fun to be had but if you just want to unwind after a long day, this is definitely the place!

This place is what I consider the pinnacle of cocktails in Fresno. I've been a few times and I've been pleasantly surprised every time. I consider myself a drink enthusiast and wow, they just seem to do everything right. Also, extremely clear ice. 👏👏👏

Solid spot! Very full bar selection. As a tequila guy I had the whole Fortaleza “flight.” Great vibe overall most importantly. Super friendly bartenders, very eclectic clientele. Close to Fresno Ballpark too a nice plus.

So your boss sends you to Fresno to work a gig as a party princess for a four-year-old’s birthday, and you drive over six hours round trip in full glitter. Obviously, you can’t let your only memory of Fresno be singing “Let It Go”, ...Read More

Their style is a mix of “modern” in a brick and mortar setting. The innovative Aline has a quick hand and a creatine mind. Stylish setting with a friendly atmosphere. Total thumbs up! 👍
