So I have always been looking for my very own "Cheers" type bar. Don't get me wrong, they don't…read moreshout your name as you walk in, but what they DO do (hee hee(doodoo)hee hee) is remember their customers likes and dislikes. Willie and Claire almost always have a couple IPAs, porters, or my fav, sours to suggest. I'm not sure if they have a little Jedi blood or what, but they have literally NEVER steered me wrong. Now, about the beers... it's hands down, the best selection and variations in Chico. Hell. Maybe in all of Nor Cal! Another great thing I've been using more of lately are the apps. They are on both Untapped and Digital Pour. Now before I even go, I can see what new stuff has just been tapped or find out how much is left of my obsession of the week (RIP Triple Haole Punch. Our time was much too brief). Next, is what they DONT offer. You want a burger? Go to Macdonald's. You want a Chocolate Martini? Well God help you... This place is for BEER drinkers and is owned by beer geniuses. Full disclosure--They do keep menus of all the restaurants in the Almond Orchard and encourage people to bring in and wash it down with, I don't know, maybe a beer? So you've got a Pho place a Chinese place, Mexican, and Round Table, etc. Plus, if you ask nicely, they keep bags of chips behind the bar. Today I ordered some flamingo swag off Amazon. It wasn't because of my fetish for long legged pink birds though. Well, maybe a little...Mostly though it was because every Friday they run a great promotion. Anybody wearing flamingo garb gets 10% off their bill as well as a flamingo bottle opener. How can that be anything short of awesome, and today I got to get a pic posted to their Instagram page of me holding the Keg Killer trophy for, you guessed, killing the last of a keg. They also have a pretty epic game room with all the staple bar games. I personally dig the super sized version of Jenga that they have, although if you haven't guessed by now, I'm usually there for the beer. Let's see, what am I forgetting? Beer...Digital Pour...beer...food...Jenga...Keg Killer...excellent selection and knowledge. Oh yeah! They also have a super nice outdoor patio area so you can take your beer for a walk. Look. This place started off trying to just be a good neighborhood taproom for people who like lots of different kinds of high end beers for a decent price, and somewhere along the way turned into a completely awesome one. I could probably keep rambling on about how great they are, but I'm suddenly feeling parched so I'm just going head down there now. I hope to see you all there (although stay off the barstool on the left corner as you walk in... that's MINE)

Never Made It Inside - Poor Wait Time Management…read more We were really looking forward to trying this place for the first time, but unfortunately never got to eat here. We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday and were told the wait would be 45 minutes to 1 hour. We understood it was busy and put our name down. After waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes, we checked back in, only to be told they had no idea when we'd be seated. We gave it another 10 minutes, but still no timeline or update. I completely understand that restaurants get slammed and wait times can be unpredictable. What was frustrating wasn't the wait itself - it was the lack of honest communication. If it was going to be a 1.5-2 hour wait, just tell us upfront so we can make an informed decision about our evening. Honestly, the host seemed to have forgotten about us as she seemed surprised and scrolled way down the list to find our name even though we were "top of the list". After waiting over 1.5 hours with no end in sight and getting increasingly hungry, we had to leave and grab food elsewhere. With three hosts working, I would have expected better expectation management than what we experienced tonight. I hope this was just an off night, but we left disappointed and hungry.

The people were friendly, the crowd welcoming. I was a regular patron who enjoyed the atmosphere 2-3 nights a week. I came for the Karaoke. SIL had 2 hosts until recently. I like them both but a week or so ago one was "let go". This was done without notice, without considering what effect this might have on its clientele. OK, people lose positions all the time, right? Yeah, but the way they did it, their lack of loyalty, both to the KJ and to us their patrons who were not allowed one last night to say goodbye, that dismissal showed us all that WE were disregarded. I, and many of the regulars will not be back.

Had not been here since the change of ownership and it switched from Secret Trail, partly because I…read morewasn't a fan of secret trails beer. Paradise brew works really blows all the brewery's in this area out of the water. It has been a really long time since I have been to a brewery where I liked everything I have tried and I can't believe I'm lucky enough to have one right here in town. Having a hard time deciding on which beer to have because they are all so good is an awesome problem to have. The staff is also friendly, I went in and the brewer was sitting at the bar and happily talking about the beers and answering any taste questions we might have. It really feels like a local community pub. The space is beautiful too, it is just the right season to rediscover PBW because the vibes of the outdoor lounge is 11/10 awesome! I also got an add on Instagram they are having punk shows here now, I can't wait! I might truly never leave! Highly recommended!

If I could give more than 5 stars to Paradise Brew Werks, I absolutely would…read more Not only is their beer seriously delicious, but the humans behind it are even better. They sponsored our entire event and went above and beyond to support their community. It's rare to find a business that pours so much heart into what they do, both in their craft and in giving back. Every beer I tried was fantastic, their vibe was welcoming, and the generosity they showed meant the world to us. Paradise Brew Werks isn't just a brewery, it's a group of incredible people making a real difference. If you haven't checked them out yet, do yourself a favor and go. Amazing beer. Amazing humans. Amazing community support. Thank you, Paradise Brew Werks! We're beyond grateful.

Visited June 8 2026. See both receipts…read more I finally got to visit this location with my boyfriend and puppy. Dog friendly! What a cool place with inside and outside dining and even cornhole! We split some type of massive burger with 2 patties and garlic parm fries. First of all I couldn't even get my mouth around the burger...too big! I cut a small corner off and it was juicy and very tasty! I had a glass of chardonnay and my boyfriend got a glass of El Toro. Plus we bought a big can of El Toro to go ( i think they call it a growler??) Atmosphere is relaxing and they brought a bowl of cold water for my puppy ( i actually carry treats and water with me). They have a nice merch shop attached to the restaurant so I bought my boyfriend a t shirt as well( he put it on right away..lol ) The waitress ( Diedra) was super cool and helpful making it a even more fun experience! Thanks Laura in the merch shop. Both ladies very kind and helpful! Its a great setting in an area that is being built up. A must stop! Great time!

This was my second dining experience at Farmers Brewing in Chico, and I wholeheartedly recommend…read moreit! Farmers offers great food, beer, and service. They are the whole package. On both of my visits, I have been so impressed with the food. Most recently, I tried the nachos, ribeye sandwich, and the kids had the chicken tenders and the burger. The portions are large and satisfying. The kids' stuff was great. The burger is a full-size burger, just without the fixings, and comes with plenty of fries. The chicken tenders were a tad overcooked, but they were a huge serving. Either one could have been split between both of our kids. The nachos are a must-order. The cheese sauce is amazing. We just got the half-order, and it was huge! The ribeye sandwich was good, though the meat was a tad tough. Still, great flavor, and the onion rings were a great add-on. I was also impressed by their NA margarita. Very tasty and similar to the real deal. I love the vibe at Farmers, too. They have a massive indoor space and a great patio space, too. This place is great for happy hour, after-dinner drinks, after-work hangouts, a casual lunch, or a date night dinner. It's a jack of all trades type of restaurant. They also have an awesome gift shop with beer to-go and all of the Farmers merch you could imagine. I am sure there are lots of great restaurants in Chico, but I imagine I'll continue finding myself at Farmers when I visit.
