This is my favorite bar in Fresno…read more What I like about Sandy's Place is the diversity of characters you often find here (which is not the same as ethnic diversity, because this is mostly a Latino bar, although I'm white and have never felt out of place. Ultimately, Fresno is a Latino town, so it goes with the territory). What I mean to say is, it is not uncommon to find someone who could easily be a grandmother share the dance floor with someone who could easily be a chollo. Everybody is welcome here. Also, the dance floor is surprisingly good for Fresno. Some nights aren't as poppin' as others, but when it's good, it's damn good. The DJ is pretty solid, he plays a mix of old school hip-hop, funk (Prince-type stuff), and Latin music. Now and then I'll leave the bar and the five-o will be outside. Personally, I've never felt unsafe here and would not let that discourage you from visiting. Really, this place is a gem.

I mean I get it a group of beautiful Asian women walking into a bar that's not familiar to us and everyone seeing a bunch of new faces. I've been going next door to there liquor store since I was in middle school, the owners know us so we wanted to check out their bar. The bartender was a women and she was super rude. We ordered drinks for each person but she served us SHOOTERS. I told her that isn't what we asked for, she proceeded to give us the most nastiest attitude. No other option, non apologetic, just a well that's on you I already made it and you're going to pay for it type of deal. Since we are in different territory we just ended up just paying for the damn drinks and left right after. Super unsafe, felt unwanted and uncomfortable. Never again

Frank was tending and did an amazing job. I wanted to try new drinks, but not sure where to start. Frank gave great recommendations. The Pepina was my favorite I ordered it twice. A cucumber pineapple based cocktail. The inside of the bar is decorated beautifully with photos along all the walls, bathrooms are clean. They have a stage for live performances by bands. Seating off to the side if you don't want to sit directly at the bar. Returned a second time on a busier night, staff is friendly, drinks are being made promptly, crowds is lowkey chill vibes. Older adults who are mature, drama free crowd. I really enjoy coming to The Howlin Wolf. 10/10 would recommend!! I don't have photos of the area, but I have photos of my pretty drinks

There's a dance floor and even an area to play a game. I'm not exactly sure what game it is.. but there is a game table. There's a cute mirror hall leading up to the restrooms. I forgot ol girl name that helped us out but she did a great job with any questions we had about the drinks on the menu. They even have a Russian roulette spinner if you're feeling ballsy and want to take a random shot. The whole bar area is a vibe and the inside is gorgeous!

The Modernist is a great craft cocktail spot in downtown Fresno in the brewery district, right next…read moreto Tioga-Sequoia Brewing. Parking is exactly what you'd expect for downtown, so just make sure you lock your car and don't leave anything visible. We went around 5 PM on a Thursday. It started fairly quiet and gradually got busier throughout the evening, but it never felt overcrowded. They do have a rule that if there's a waitlist, your time may be limited to about two hours so they can seat other guests, which is reasonable for a place like this. The drinks were fantastic. I honestly didn't have a bad drink all night. They offer cold drinks, room temperature drinks, hot drinks, and just about every type of spirit you can think of. The cocktails are very creative, and the bartenders will actually warn you ahead of time if a drink has flavors they think you might not like, which I appreciated. The bartenders were excellent and really knew what they were doing. We had a spicy margarita, mojito, whiskey smash, an ube cocktail, and a few others, and all of them were great. Prices were fair for the quality, creativity, and overall experience. Not cheap, but definitely not overpriced either. One thing I really respected was that they had Narcan and fentanyl test strips available on-site. You don't see that often, and it shows they actually care about people's safety. If you're looking for craft cocktails in Fresno, this place is definitely worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back.

They cater to your drink taste and will make a cocktail based off of it. So I ended up with a cocktail that had a similarity to a whiskey sour. Was good well mixed and balanced. If you go during a show or event you'll pay an artist fee so keep that in mind. Also you'll have to book in advance to get a seat. Good spot for a date nite or to mingle with friends even better when a band or dj that plays a genre based music. 5/5 drinks ask the bartender for drink recommendations the do pretty good with it 5/5 ambiance and upkeep reminiscent of a 20's bar 5/5 bartenders and friendly staff 4/5 price point is slightly upscale but it's not bad
