If we have Yaamava bottled water we can bring that in. Otherwise I saw other people pouring their bottles into cups that are readily available at the security check in. I was having trouble downloading my ticket. The staff got a chair for my Veteran friend so she could rest while I panicked to get my tickets. Staff came to offer me help but it was just me having issues typing my password. Officer Cortez was truly an Angel. He's the one who helped my friend with a seat and he really tried to calm me down. I wish I could have thanked him AFTER I quit sweating and got in the venue. My friend bought me a soda because I needed it! The bartender was super friendly and sweet. We were there early enough so service was quick. We were in the far right, 3rd row. KUDOS to having no stairs for the bottom seating. Most venues you have to walk down to floor seats. There were plenty of staff to help with seating. The chairs were pretty comfortable. The rows had enough leg room. I'm 5'6" and I was comfortable. Some places my knees are pressed against the seat. I like that we had cup holders for all the seats. The venue seemed small enough that every seat was a good view. I thought I would be too far stage right but it was a great view. I didn't even need to look at the big screen because it was a better view seeing them live.

Under Martha's expert tutelage, the historic Belle is the most recent iteration of the institution…read moreat 6917 Palm that has a long and storied past. I grew up 1.5 blocks away (27164 Pacific Ave) - and 6917 is dear to my heart - and part of my own history. And I am delighted that the creative Martha has steered the old place in the right direction - kudos to you, Martha. First visited there (at the "Orange Cafe") as a 3-year-old in 1941 - it was a classic family restaurant - with mini-juke-boxes at every table. Was with my Navy officer dad. Dad & I had lunch, he ordered a beer, I asked to sample it - it tasted horrible. Got home, told (somewhat straight-laced) Mom. She disapproved, Dad entered the doghouse. Somewhere in the Forties, "Fuzzy" Lawson took over the place. Fuzzy was a serious curmudgeon - he was usually grumpy. My next-door neighbor boys (Gene and John McNown) and I exacerbated his grumpiness - we often climbed up on the roof and ran back and forth noisily. Little pieces of the ceiling would fall out and drop on customers. About 1950 we apparently triggered Fuzzy's paranoia - there was a burglary - and he blamed us. (But we three little angels were innocent!). Fast forward to 1961 - I'm fresh out of the Army Security Agency. (Had been a Russian linguist eavesdropping on the Russians at the East German border). I have a tiny studio apartment upstairs in the old brick building across the street - above the old hardware store's location. At 6917 I run a tab, eat most of my meals there. Not long thereafter I start working at the old Highland Post Office just down the street. I deliver the mail for 6917 - and my mail-carrier posse and I hang out there every night after work. By now the food operation has started to shrink, in favor of more stress on the bar. Clientele typically includes agri-workers, citrus ranchers, students, bikers, etc. There's a long Shuffleboard along the south wall, and an old upright piano at the wall's westernmost end. Shortly thereafter 6917 becomes the Bella Highland, run by a genial gent named Steve. I'm now at Valley College working 3 part-time jobs. So early Sunday mornings I work at Winfield Bailey's newspaper agency on Highland Ave - rolling newspapers for delivery. Then I go to the Bella Highland to play janitor. Steve is generous - says "Mick - drink and snack as much as you want." So I take his advice. Well-oiled after a few hours of work and beers I sit down and bang on the piano for an hour or so when work is done. I buy and customize a mint-condition 1955 Pontiac Chieftan 2-door sedan - I drive it proudly for three months. Then, heading home from a party in Redlands, I drive it upside down on Boulder Avenue close to Base Line. The car is slowing down from 100 MPH - it rolls 3 times, mowing down 600 feet of highway perimeter fence. Despite having no seat belts, I walk away from the totaled vehicle with just a scratch on the hand - and I hitch-hike to the Bella Highland. Steve is working that night. Following Steve's advice I reluctantly call the cops. I report the accident - and they agree to meet me @ the cafe for an interview. Steve says "You gotta try to sober up before they get here" and starts pouring coffee down me. Two hours later - a cop arrives. I am sober by now, but I make the mistake of admitting I had "one" beer before I assaulted the highway fence. AAA cancels my insurance, but at least I'm not charged with a classic DUI. Will always appreciate Steve's fatherly support that night. I was 24 but still had a lot of growing up to do. Then seven years or so ago my son and I visit Highland and my old home at 27164 Pacific Avenue. The street looks so different - where have all the trees gone? We go to the Belle for a couple of beers. We meet the charming and energetic Martha, who totally captivates us. She and I swap stories. The nostalgic memories flood into my brain - I can feel tears lurking just behind my eyes. Back when I lived in Highland and hung out at 6917 I wish I had realized that those were "the good old days" - I might have savored them even more. Sorry this entry is a little verbose - but hopefully it does justice to the big space that 6917 occupies in my heart. Mick Beeson - Yountville, Ca.

My sister made same‑day reservations, and we were grateful they had availability. We were seated shortly after our time slot, and our server, Serena, was incredibly pleasant -- attentive, kind, and so accommodating. Truly 10/10 service. The food was just as impressive. We ordered the hot honey pepperoni flatbread, and everyone who tried it loved it. I'm vegetarian, so I skipped the flatbread and went with the Caesar salad -- absolutely perfect, and no anchovy taste in the dressing. My husband devoured the Caribbean Jerk chicken bowl. Mama and my brother‑in‑law both ordered the NY steak and cleaned their plates. My sister and niece each had the tri‑tip sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed it. The French fries were so good I ordered some to go. Food 10/10. Even the table water was divine -- filtered pitchers with lemon slices. And my pumpkin spice White Russian did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is spacious, inviting, and comfortable. Ambiance 10/10. Serena surprised Mama with a delicious slice of chocolate cake, which was the cherry on top of her birthday celebration. After dinner, we played the slots near the front of the restaurant and were blessed with winnings. Overall, it was a memorable and joyful birthday for Mama, and we wouldn't hesitate to return the next time we're at Yaamava.

However, once we were seated and ordered our food, we waited over 30 minutes. I'm not sure what the issue was but the kitchen was at a stand still. I don't know if the waitress forgot to put our order in or if the kitchen was on fire. The ambiance is casual. The lighting is dimmed and there's a lot of decor. I did appreciate the fresh flowers on the table. They offer table and booth seating. There's quite a bit of seating available if you have a large party. As for the food - it was MEH! I ordered the Asada Breakfast Burrito and it was not worth $25. It was small and had nothing but tortilla at the bottom. It's served with home fries. I was surprised the home fries weren't inside the tortilla as part of the burrito. The home fries were ok. They were crispy and lightly seasoned. I felt they could've been cooked in the center more. The meat in the burrito was marinated well and it was made to order but the value is not there. I requested water with lemon to drink and they actually serve their water infused with lemon. When I drank it, I know why. It was the nastiest tasting tap water ever. I think they use the lemon to mask the flavor. Overall, I probably would never eat here again. At least not for breakfast.

It gives off a biker bar vibe just by the looks of it. On one visit I asked my buddy if he had ever been to Wooden Nickel. He admitted that he was a bit intimidated by its appearance. I told him, "Well we're going today"! Off we went. My buddy, my wife Becky and me. We headed down the hill. It was about a 10-minute walk to the primitive parking lot. There was a Ford F150 pick-up truck out front with a huge smoker trailer behind it billowing smoke. The air was filled with the wonderful aroma of smoking meats. We walked inside and it was pretty much what we were expecting. Low ceiling, dimly lit, bar seating, a few tables and a couple of pool tables. We bellied up to the bar and were warmly greeted by the bartender. We ordered our drinks, and I noticed a menu on the table. On this day it was smoked meat. Burgers, ribs, tri-tip, chicken - all cooked right out front. When we saw the pit boss emerge from the behind the kitchen door, we were sad that we already had dinner plans. He was a big 'ol dude wearing a BBQ-stained white apron. We just knew that there was legit food exiting that kitchen. Never judge a book by its cover. Wooden Nickel was great.

You get their version of the characters, not the Disney characters, but it is still fun and great to see, especially the rabbit. This year they added a special guest, the star from Carl's Jr.. This event is massive with about 6 stages ranging from all types of music. It is a good idea to check out a set from each stage and find something new to get into. Each stage is beautiful in its own way, and each has its theme, and the pyros cater to the music. This particular insomniac event has a lot of side quests, so be sure to enter thru random doors and go down some rabbit holes; you'll find secrets, including a bazaar and special character meets. I always opt for VIP; it has its own perks, priority entrance, its own bar and food areas, private VIP air-conditioned restrooms, couches, freebies, a beauty and salon area, and a private viewing area for each stage, which is a huge plus. The highlight for VIPs is the resting spots, which we know us 30+ ravers really need. This rave is wonderful, but not everything is perfect. This rave attracts influencers and many non-plural people, which can ruin the experience for people. They can push, be rude, and even steal, and of course the location is not the greatest, and if you're parked in the wrong area, you will have your car broken into. So stay safe and only park in designated spots. Other than that, have fun.

I will say it was helpful to have free parking and have frequent shuttles available to get to the venue. The decorations and lights were pretty great, and definitely enhanced the experience. I will say navigating the festival was a bit tough, and I wish there was better signage. Although, there were maps and the app, there were times I struggled to locate a specific stage or ended up walking in the wrong direction. I liked the variety of food and drink vendors, although prices are pretty steep. $25 before tip for a cocktail is a little too high. The security at the main entrance seemed a little too relaxed, as they didn't care to check bags and just waved people through and I thought that was concerning. However, it was encouraging to see a good amount of staff around the event and that was reassuring. My friend and I opted to get VIP, and it was nice to access the VIP area and get access to slightly better restrooms. Although, the lines were long. VIP area also had some great views of the main stage but it was quite crowded. Also, it was nice to see some fireworks around midnight and take in all the lights & sights. Also, I wish there was more seating available. Lots of attendees ended up sitting and resting on the ground/grassy areas, which made it a bit challenging to navigate after different sets. The exit at the end of the night was overly crowded and difficult to get through. I was not a fan of having to walk in a huge crowd and then stand in line for 40 minutes for a shuttle to the parking area. Overall, I enjoyed my time at Beyond, but was not a fan of the venue. Possibly worth attending again mainly for the music, headliners, vibes, and various photo opps.
