It feels like a local hangout where everyone knows each other, but visitors are welcomed right in. The location right on the water is hard to beat, and the place is filled with funny signs and a great sense of humor that doesn't take itself too seriously. Not fancy at all, but that's the point.

The comedy shows are entertaining, and it's nice to see a mix of performers. The art exhibits feature a good selection of local talent, and the karaoke nights are a fun way to unwind with friends. From bingo and trivia to open mic nights, there is almost always something to do at Barrel Proof! The space has a relaxed vibe, and the staff is friendly. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're looking for an easy-going place with a mix of creative and fun events. 10/10. Prime downtown location, parking can be a bit tricky on busy nights but totally worth the stop if you're in the area.

The Summer dance series: great music+ Outdoor dance party= fun evening!…read moreI attended the first of the series last weekend and had an amazing time. The event takes place in the outdoor pavilion near the Coppola pool. A different band rocks the "house" for patrons from 7-10 pm. What I think I loved best about this was the outdoor venue; I love to dance but hate stuffy nightclubs. So what can be better than enjoying an amazing band, under the twinkling of the stars and fresh air? If you're not a dancer (or you just need a quick break to catch your breath) and want to enjoy the scene, there is a poolside bar set up with all the standard Coppola libations for purchase. Sip, Salsa, and great people, what more can you ask for?!

That really helps beginners know what to expect. Especially if you do not know all the various types of social dancing. The pricing for lessons and open dance cannot be beat!

Steve the DJ was one of the instructors of the class, and he really went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. The people in general, guests and employees, were all super welcoming and encouraging to us and other newcomers. I've already recommended it to several people who live nearby! Steve announces the type of dance and how the room will be structured before each song, so that you never feel like you'll accidentally run over someone or be run over.

One of the best places in Chico to grab a drink and avoid the college crowd. I know, I know, its a…read morecollege town, don't gripe about the college kids... but holy hell its nice to hang out with the grown ups sometimes! A couple of tips for the newbie adult headed to this VIP lounge: 1) Make sure to get your booty up there prior to 9pm (after 9pm there is a $10 cover charge) 2) $10 isn't going to break the bank, I get it however, it IS a key bit of info so take it for what its worth. (Its worth ten bucks, ha!) Make sure that if you should arrive before 9, like for happy hour, and stay after 9, that your given a wrist band so you can wander from floor to floor without having to pay the entry fee 3) If you get there prior to 9pm and have a person or people you actually want to speak (and not yell at) the music is at a normal level so carrying a conversation is tres easy. Beware, after 9pm they PUMP up the volume so be prepared to yell your conversation after that time frame kicks in 4) And speaking of 'tres' this bar is tres chic, there is a ton of cozy seating, you can go find a booth which is semi private or go more public and choose a table out in the open (along with more cozy seats) 5) They have an 'L' shaped pool table, very weird but very cool and ultra different. I've never seen one quite like it anywhere else 6) The martini selection is pretty tasty (see my pix) and the prices are right up my alley (marginally priced and well worth it) 7) The absolute BEST part of my experience here at the VIP Ultra Lounge was Stephanie. The adorable, extra friendly bartender/waitress, literally, the best little thing located upstairs. Her personality ROCKED. She gave me mini tour and being that it was my first time here, while she toured, she explained all the bars (total of 4), their highlights and best times to have fun at each of them. Seriously treated me in TOTAL VIP fashion, what a gem!! The cool thing about this bar is that its connected to 3 other totally different (un-VIP, just made up that word) bars. So... if you get tired of being a snobby VIP, you can take your wasty face downstairs and kick it with the college kids. Good thing #8... if your walking sideways and acting like a drunk monkey, you'll blend right in :) Dance, scratch your butt, do a shot then fall on the floor, hey! Have a good time!

Once you are past the cheapest drinks you can buy phase of Chico life, come up to VIP Ultra Lounge. Check 'em out during happy hour to scout if you like it without paying a cover. I enjoyed my melon mojito- with none of the stickiness or smell associated with most the venues in Chico. I get that Chico isn't used to paying much of a cover charge at all, but I'd rather pay a cover and go somewhere gorgeous, comfortable & clean. I used to love the Bear & LaSalles, but you go there after a few drinks because otherwise you'd never get past the smell and in the door. You can smell them from outside. Yuck. Other than harping on the fantasticness of a clean place- my husband has enjoyed his drinks there as well, we've had tacos and a steak/gorganzola pizza during happy hour- all good stuff. And that explains why I'm headed there in 40 minutes to celebrate the end of my work week!

Pretty damned horrible, sh*tty, cheap, derivative, scummy fake club. Reggaeton X wackest drinks…read moreever. People who work there are ok... But they all suck at their jobs and the place tries so hard to be cool, that it's not. You can't fake a 400 square foot storefront club with 3 kinds of liquor and 2 beers into feeling like a 5000 sq ft club on Vegas. BTW - see the screenshots and note that after i posted this review the owner sent me the following message, basically telling me I should be grateful that there's ANY club here and to NOT come back... Classy: "I am so sorry that unlike everyone else, you feel that way about the ONLY nightclub in Napa county. Big or small, this is the right place to be. As far as the drinks, did you actually look at the display at the bar or were you too busy criticizing? We have way more than 3 kinds of liquor and I would be more than happy to list them all for you. As far as the beers, those are the 2 we BREW IN HOUSE, if you ask any of our amazing bartenders, we have more options! And as far as cheap, we will be more than happy to increase the prices just for YOU, if you ever decide to come back, but we hope we don't! Have a great day Joshua and thank you for the feedback!" Note, what's cheap about this place is the decor, amount of liquor in the drinks, and basically everything else about the place, but NOT the prices. The drinks on their list are $17 each... Way ridiculous and prices should definitely NOT be raised. Especially because every drink was under-poured.
