    We just visited The Farmer and the Bootlegger in Old Town Clovis, and I can't stop thinking about it. From the moment you walk in, the space feels transportive, beautifully designed with an intimate, speakeasy charm that immediately sets the tone. The low lighting creates the perfect moody, cozy vibe, and the bar itself is absolutely stunning, truly a centerpiece. Every drink we tried was crafted to perfection and the bartenders were friendly and attentive. Very creative, balanced, and genuinely worth every penny. You can tell there's real intention behind both the atmosphere and the menu. It's the kind of place you want to linger in and come back to again and again. Already looking forward to our next visit.

    French Orchard

    Our group of 6 had such a great time at The Farmer & The Bootlegger, such a nice, intimate spot that's perfect for a date night or small group hangout. We tried a couple cocktails, including the French Orchard, Spanish Pear, and Laundry Day. All three drinks were smooth and lovely to drink. The French Orchard had a strong pear-forward flavor that was really pleasant, and the Spanish Pear was equally balanced and refreshing. The Laundry Day was fun and unique, it came with a playful air bubble on top, which made the drink feel interactive and creative. Personal preference, but I wish the drinks were a tad bit stronger ;) The atmosphere is cozy and dimly lit, which makes it great for conversation. Service was excellent and attentive. Another great perk is that you can order food from the surrounding restaurants, including Cork & Knife and DiCicco's Old Town Clovis, which makes it easy to turn drinks into a full night out. Pro tip: make a reservation in advance. Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be less busy, which makes for a more relaxed experience. Overall, a great cocktail spot with a cozy vibe, definitely somewhere I'd come back to and would recommend to others!

    Great concept close to home! I've been to the Library in Fresno and it's great too, but I dig the ambiance here. Our server Kyle was on top of it. The drink menu is short but he confirmed that their mixologist can make just about anything. We had the Peat Farmer, Tropic Thunder, Spanish Pear, and the Butchers Old Fashioned. All were great!

    Such good service. Entrance through diccicios, cork and knife and alley way. Loved the spiced pear drinks. Since it was slow was able to order food from diccicos which was helpful. Ordered a glass of wine from cork and knife before entry. Loved the wasabi peas bar snack

    A new speakeasy is happening in downtown clovis! Didn't want to take pictures of the inside so to not spoil the surprise. You will need to make a reservation, but worth it. Josh one of the bartenders was fun to talk to and will gladly explain the variety of drinks on the menu and make suggestions. The ambience is charming with the 1920's vibe. I recommend the charcuterie board to complement the cocktails. Forgot to take a picture but was delicious. Fun place to bring a date!

    The ceiling is really cool!

    The service was great! They filled our waters often and made sure we were taken care of. Drink recommendations were a hit. The vibe was really cool.

    Tropic Thunder and Spanish Pear
    Taylor H.

    Incredible service. Ambiance was very much like a speakeasy should be. Drinks were very good. A little sweet for my taste but still amazing, very smooth

    We had a great experience and service was great. Drinks are good. The decor and ambiance are great! Nice place to meet up with friends. Make sure you make reservations. Will definitely come back soon.

    Great drinks, service, and general vibe. Drinks are unique and balanced. I highly recommend the Spanish Pear.

    Cocktails and friends!

    Overall great experience! Service was awesome, friendly and social. The ambiance made you forget where you were. Six of us shared the charcuterie board and had two cocktails each, including the infamous Laundry Day. We'll go back!

    Laundry Day drink!

    Amazing service, fantastic drinks. This was our first night here. We came here on a recommendation. We are very glad we listened! We had a great night! They do not have food, but you can order a charcuterie board or olives. Our server Nicole was fabulous!!! We will be back

    Old Fashioned

    Really enjoyed our olive tray and drink! Didn't know we could order from Diciccos next door. Will definitely do dinner and drinks next time. Atmosphere was great for a date or a small group of friends. Staff was amazing! I accidentally left my phone and they kept it safe until the next day. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!

    It was the very first night and it ran very well. Lots of excited energy. The drink menu had a lot of thought put into it. It was a great experience. I like the dark hush-hush mood of the room. Will be back.

    Is it possible to order a bottle of wine from Cork & Knife for the table, since they have a bigger selection?

When making the reservation, i made a note that it was our anniversary! When we arrived and checked in, the hostess acknowledged our anniversary, as did our server! Very hospitable that they acknowledged it, as some other places don't. The food has been great both times and the portions are generous! Some high end places get a little skimpy, especially with the sides. Not here! This time around, I ordered the Prime Rib, got the whipped potatoes and substituted the Brussels sprouts. Both were generous portions. Also love the added touch that they'll give you fresh horseradish to go along with the horseradish cream for a little extra kick. My wife had the Ribeye, which we've both ordered before, and it's delicious. She ordered the cashew green beans, but they were very saucy and some were burnt. When brought up to the server, she said she would have the kitchen make her a fresh ordered without hesitation. Within a few minutes, a nice sized portion of fresh Cashew Green Beans arrived! The Wedge Salad is also delicious and generously portioned. It could actually be a meal for someone, if so inclined. The atmosphere is also very welcoming and private. We've sat inside and on the patio, and actually preferred the patio seating! I can't say enough about the hospitality of the staff though. There's a gentleman who is either the lead host or a manager, that's been there both times. He takes a personal interest in the customers and makes sure to visit each table, which you don't often see. As we were walking out, he was also walking out behind us. Even though we were a few steps ahead, he wished us (again) a happy anniversary and to have a great night! This is a special place in Fresno and a great choice for a special occasion.

Add to that the…read moreprivilege and luxury of going to dinner with my mom, my wife, and my two sisters, all of whom I can always count on to not finish their meals, and let's just say... yes, I ended up eating all of this food, even if I didn't technically order it. LOL. We started with the SURF & TURF appetizer, and it was absolutely delicious. The moment I tasted the ponzu sauce, I already knew I had a plan because I had spotted Bacon Fried Rice on the menu. I immediately thought: "That ponzu sauce over bacon fried rice would be incredible." We also ordered the CALAMARI STRIPS with chipotle aioli, and they were amazing. Crispy, flavorful, and the aioli took them to another level. Next, I ordered the house salad with champagne vinaigrette, and let me tell you something right now: I plan to stop by once a week just to buy that vinaigrette. It is THAT good. Then everyone's meals arrived, and I noticed my master plan was working perfectly because there were two pieces of steak and shrimp ponzu left over. So naturally, I ordered the bacon fried rice. When it came out, everyone at the table started laughing because they knew EXACTLY what I was about to do. I combined the steak and shrimp with the bacon fried rice and poured every last drop of ponzu sauce over the top. DELICIOUS!!!! At this point, everyone started slowing down, which in my family means: "Send all leftovers to Sebastian." LOL. The Miso Glazed Black Cod was the best cod I have ever tasted. Then came the LL Prime Rib, it was so tender I could cut it with my fork. Bold, smoky flavor throughout. I'm sorry, but I have to say it... it was even better than the prime rib at Richard's in Fresno. And finally... the Bread Pudding. WHOEVER thought of using baklava to make bread pudding is a genius. I've had plenty of bread pudding, but NOTHING compares to this dessert. The flavor simply cannot be matched. Honestly, it's even better than Cracked Pepper's. Yes, I said it!!! Last but definitely not least, I have to give a shout out to the best server in town: Siena. Nothing elevates a dining experience more than exceptional service; Siena not only provided amazing service, but her warm smile and genuine concern for our dining experience made our Mother's Day dinner absolutely perfect. Thank you, Siena. You are the best!!!!

Upon arrival, there is maybe two couples in the restaurant, one in the dining room, and one sitting in their gorgeous outdoor patio. The entire restaurant was decked out in oak and woody earth tones with tasteful shapes, mirrors, and outlined with plants. An absolute vibe for these two girls with earth signs. We were met by one single staff member who ushered us to take a seat anywhere of our choosing (it was relatively empty so the reservation wasn't even acknowledged, which we didn't mind. I do not recall his name however he provided us with excellent service. (Wednesday the 15th @ 7:30) Now for drinks, my bestie ordered a strawberry margarita and I had ordered a menu drink that were both poured heavily and tasted phenomenal. We did not feel the need to order any additional glass or it may have turned into a party for two! My girlie and I are oyster people. We are also savory folk. We ordered a half dozen oysters and focaccia bread. To our extreme delight the appetizers were delicious and filling. However, we're on Yelp for a reason. FOOD, FOOD, FOOD. We're best friends for a reason, the steak sandwich caught our attention. It was dressed deliciously and paired with fries reminiscent of those from In N Out, and depending on who you ask that is a WIN! Overall we split the bill and felt it was better than expected to how grand our meal was. I wish I grabbed our servers name, he was a sweet gentleman that waited on two girls who could eat a cow and ask for dessert Definitely a space worth mentioning to out of town friends.

She walked me through the entire process of set up for the event, which included our own decorations, patio furniture, and table placements for food and drinks. She provided me with her cell phone and was very responsive to any questions I had up to the day of the event. Brooke was our server the day of the event. I could not have asked for a better server to make this event amazing. She was very attentive to every guest as it was an open house from 12pm-3pm and people rotated in and out during the entire time. She kept our food table stocked and drinks full. She was very busy. But the real kicker was at the end of the day, I found out that the restaurant was short staffed and she was also providing the same attention to inside tables as well. I never even knew! I would highly recommend this location for parties, whether it is in the banquet room inside or the patio outside (w/ fountain)!!
