This is such a chill spot to grab a drink, or chill and listen to music . They had great Valentines Day decor and a photo booth, when we went . Special drinks at the bar to celebrate the occasion also! If there's something you want that's not on the menu, the bartenders will help create something for you. Love it! Security at the door, checks Id so be prepared! read more

come see Michael the bartender was fucking amazing and it was so busy. He managed his component and his cool and so dropped the best. Amazing drink. read more

My son was assaulted here. This place has negligent security that records fights and doesn't intervene. The bar tender was rude and was not helpful. read more

Hot as hell in this place. Sad they make enough money with these expensive drinks. Turn the a/c on in this place.

This place is right in Downtown Viselia. The moment you walk in you get hit with this cool Euro pub vibe. I can see myself come here for a drink after work. Today? Lunch. The bar tender was very attentive, get me seated and go my drink in no time. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. It came very fast. It is a nice piece of breast with deep grilled mark with sauce and grilled mushrooms. Lettuce, tomato, onions on the side. When I took my first bite, a nice charred flavor hit me. It is really well done. The side salad is a bed of fresh green, with light olive oil, and a blanket of parmigiana cheese. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

So sad this place closed. Great dive bar feeling. Nothing corporate about it. Feel like if Cheers was a dark comedy with wacky people. Great drinks and ambience. I once saw the hottest bar tender, look like a goth rocker chick from the 90's. read more

I just love this place! It reminds me of a Speak Easy without the secret door! The chef is a master mixologist of any drink you can imagine & his sauces & flavors are so unique & will leave you craving everything enough you WILL be back! Like I said the ambiance reminds me of a Speak Easy & the dining is fancy & has a gourmet flair to each dish! Every drink & dish is made with such love & pride. They also have opened a morning cafe with mouth watering French pastries from the new bakery, Bread Savage across the street. You've gotta try both! read more

We came here for lunch on a Wednesday. The menu is really tiny, they have salad, soup, meatballs with bread, a burger and a few other items. The special was the bacon blue cheese burger, and that's what we tried. Unfortunately there are no fries, just bagged chips, side salad or potato salad. However, the meat in this burger was so unique and delicious! There had to be a 1/2lb Patty, so I'm glad we split it.. it was highly seasoned ( in a good way) juicy, and tender. I hate my burger well done, but it was so juicy that it didn't matter! We also tried 2 cocktails; the bjiou, and the bittered sling. Both were refreshingly unique flavor profiles. The bijou has a strong chartreuse backdrop, so only copse this one if you like chartreuse. It was nice & strong though... they don't go cheap on their cocktails here! The bittered sling is sweet, rich and the bitters really come through. The Space Dust IPA was in a cold glass ( I LOVE that detail), and we spired it with our delicious burger. Tate the owner came by and said hello, and Karina was our bartender. She was sweet & attentive. The lounge was relaxing and quiet, it was a perfect lunchtime getaway!! read more

You're doing yourself a disservice if you reside in the vicinity of Visalia or are traveling through to not come to the Celler Door. The cocktails rival anything you could get in a major city. The menu is small but tight in that every dish you order comes out to perfection because they don't have to worry about 30 mediocre dishes. As I mentioned above, the menu is tight and shows in the detail and flavor you are getting out of every bite. I highly recommend this place because you get top-quality food in the Central Valley sourced from local growers. I would honestly pay double for every dish they serve. The food is sexual. It is orgasmic. Bring your significant other or mistress here. A++ read more

I have been coming to this venue for over 20 years and know the previous owners and most of the bands that have played there. The latest owners are practicing cancel culture and last night were very rude to my blind friends who were 2 of their best customers. The previous 2 sets of owners always had a table reserved for them when they got there. Now these current owners have created a VIP mentality and won't seat you unless you pay double price. These are blind senior citizens BTW. who have literally spent thousands of dollars here . I suggest not supporting this venue. Crawdaddys will treat you much nicer. Cellar door does not take care of loyal customers. I will never go there again and neither will these long time patrons. They are money hungry and impersonal. They will lose their business eventually then hopefully it will restructure. read more

Come check out this great spot. Friendly service, so welcoming. Amazing choice of pre-prohibition cocktails. Came here after already having dinner, so almost missed out on food. Stayed just long enough to try a later snack of avocado toast. If it is an indication of the rest of the menu, you need to come down here and get some food. The bread amazing, beautiful avocado and quick pickled red onions. Seasoned and sprinkled with pine nuts. Just what you look forward to in avocado toast. So excited for our next visit. Thank you for welcoming us. We will be back read more

Nice atmosphere and great music! Terrible and expensive cocktails that weren't even made right. Sometimes you would get a drink served to you in a big plastic cup, sometimes in a super tiny one. No consistency at all. I would come back for more music, but we'll be drinking elsewhere. read more

My two sisters and I stoped in shortly after 5pm on a Friday afternoon for an early dinner and really enjoyed ourselves. Lots of room, easy to have a conversation without a lot of background noise. The menu is designed for items to be shared so we split a variety of things - asparagus, caprese salad, meatballs and memelas. We stayed for about an hour and a half catching up and never felt rushed to leave. Very relaxing and enjoyable experience. Definitely recommend the place and look forward to returning next time we come through Visalia. read more

Don't forget to dance and then get a drink or two and dance again. One of the hottest spots in town.

My family and I were headed to downtown Visalia last night to eat, when we had to park a couple blocks away from where we were going to eat. While passing by the Cellar Door, we noticed that the new owners had opened! We decided to give it a try, and we are sure glad we did. We were greeted by friendly staff, and seated in some really comfy chairs amidst a completely relaxing atmosphere and nice background music. The staff was helpful in explaining the family style dishes, and being attentive to us the whole time we were there. The food on the other hand??? ....AMAZING. I didn't even know it was possible to do the things they did to vegetables. Everything was completely delicious, from the radishes and cauliflower, to the roasted asparagus, to the Wagyu steak and leeks. The drinks were amazing, and we can't wait to return. read more

My sister and I stopped for lunch. OMG!!! Fabulous grilled asparagus, caprese salad and delish meatballs. Setting reminded me of a New York downstairs eatery. read more

This place is top notch. Can't decide if it needs more couches or none at all. The drinks are phenomenal and lots of spirits to make even the most odd ball cocktails of choice. read more

Being a Visalia native I love how this venue was picked back up after it closed. This review I focused around their food as most who come here are for the bar and music venue scene. My wife and I enjoyed a couple selections from their menu. I had the Pork Belly sandwich and my wife the Johnny Cash dog. Both were actually really tasty! The pork belly was very flavorful and paired extremely well with the slaw and pineapple. The sauce served with the fries is like a Sriracha mayo, which is just fabulous. The Johnny cash dog is a loaded polish dog on Hawaiian rolls for the bun. It's just a great little combination of onion straws and bbq sauce with the dog. The bar is fully stocked and I was able to enjoy a Game of Thrones scotch with my dinner. We came before things really picked up, around 6ish. Really enjoyed the quaint atmosphere and watching the band setting up for the night. I hope people check this place out for more than the music venue, as the food and bar is a great aspect! read more

Six of us dined at the Cellar Door and had a great meal! Food is upscale, very well prepared and served tapas style to share. We each chose a dish to share...my favorites were the Coq Vin Blanc, a juicey, tender chicken breast served in a cream sauce flavored with capeers, lemon, garlic and rosemary. The meatballs, a family recipe from owner Amy Dwelle, were divine! Served in a sauce of fresh tomatoes and spices. Service was slow in places but overall the experience was great. read more

The food menu is perfect, you may think it's short but every dish is filled with flavor. Most of the ingredients or sourced from the farmers market and you can tell. read more

We had a blast at Cellar Door! The curry was heavenly, and the chicken was super tender and flavorful. Drinks were on point. Service was really friendly too. We came here last minute after a rough experience at the Elderwood (don't go there whatever you do) and the kind folks at Cellar Door immediately made room for us, despite the late hour. read more

Ezra is amazing!!! He made me an amazing drink and is such a kind hearted person! I recommend this place and the service

So... the portion sizes are not shareable size. When they tell you everything on the menu will be served "as prepared" and family style, you would expect larger portions. The chicken was very tender but way to many capers, it was super salty (and I am a caper fan). Also would appreciate a dinner salad added to the menu. The tomato soup was just ok and not large enough to share. Overall just eehh. We won't return read more

Good place to drink up, but I would not recommend eating here. Not much variety in the food choices. Doesn't pair well with anything else on the menu really just a bunch of appetizers read more

Came downtown for Mexican food, it's 8:30pm and everything is closed. We walked past Cellar door it always had music and served spirits. My fiancé sad hey they serve food here so we walked in. What a great dinner. We had the asparagus and the ribeye. Superb! Tate and Amy know what they are doing. We will definitely be back.! Tom & Jul read more

Thank you to Amy and the full team at The Cellar Door. Just had my daughter's co-ed baby shower last week and it was amazing. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They couldn't help enough!! The rental fee was super reasonable. Our 100+ guests complimented on every aspect of the space. I had at least 10 people ask about using it for future events. Thanks again!!! We will definitely have more events at The Cellar Door! read more

We came for lunch and ordered the cheeseburger and shrimp salad. My burger was raw and soggy, the shrimp did not smell appealing. Drinks are good but they need some SERIOUS TRIANING IN THAT KITCHEN. read more

This restaurant is the best hidden gem. A lot of people think it's just a place to drink but the food is phenomenal. The food is always fresh I have actually ran into the cook at the farmers market getting ingredients.they even have chess sets and games to play at your table. Unique dishes and a killer atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

In my opinion, Cellar Door has much to offer. great atmosphere, quality service and menu items. I really enjoy the bands that come and share their talents here. wonderfully well stocked bar, quality selection. If you haven't been here recently, put it on your list, it will not disappoint. Bravo read more

Just had dinner here. Their menu has about 10 items total so I was skeptical. We ordered the tomato bisque, memelas, caprese salad, and a chicken dish. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The owner and chef came to the table and really cared about our experience. Would definitely dine here again! And as an older person, I really appreciated the 90s music! read more

Very disappointed with this establishment, I'm not sure if it was poor planning or what the deal was. We bought tickets to watch a show on Saturday (Vanessa Rae) We did not have VIP tickets they were all sold out, we just had general admission tickets. Doors opened at 6:30 and show started at 8 pm and ended at 11pm. We were not aware that there would be no food served at the venue and that there would be absolutely no seating for the whole show. We are all in our late 50s and 60s and we had a friend with with a bad back, so there is no way we were going to be there standing all night. We got there early in hopes of getting a good table and enjoying drinks and dinner and to our surprise the doorman said they decided to not serve food and no chairs would be available. This was bad event planning! We have been to many shows at crawdaddys and have never experienced anything like this at a concert.... The tickets should have been more specific, because we would not have purchased them if we knew the situation. Please let people know these important details. read more

Great place for wine. Bountiful variety of tasty wines to try, with friendly wine servers, and good glasses! With nice opaque glass refrigerator doors to chill and display the wine. Great place for music. A nice stage area, so that nobody in the place has a bad seat. There was also a awesome band playing that had a Bob Dylan, Meg White feel to it, (just so HAPPENS to be my sister playing that night! :) Great place to see people. Coming from Visalia, it's always nice to see cousins and friends from high school. My hubby also liked the art...nice boobies and butt painting! read more

There's a relatively new chef in town; if you live within 100 miles of this restaurant and have not eaten here you're making a HUGE mistake. The dining experience is second to none throughout the valley, possibly the state. My wife and I just dined here for the third time within the last 6 months or so, each time trying 4-6 family style a la carte dishes. EVERY SINGLE DISH HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL. The chef scavenges the local farmers markets for the freshest in season produce and creates mouth watering dishes from everything he touches. read more

Came here tonight with my wife. Place was amazing. Food was great farm to table. Drinks are made the right way. Ava and Tate were awesome. Can't recommend this place more. Will be back. read more

Time for some Salsa :) Great salsa on tuesdays! Not to mention $2 pints of Stella! They sometimes have a duo playing some samba, but most of the time its a mix. Very nice venue, people are friendly..Will go back again for sure. read more
