It's great that they have food trucks outside, which gives you plenty of options to pair with a drink. They also have a nice selection of beers to go, which was a pleasant surprise. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wish they had more hazy IPAs on the menu. Also, be aware that children are not allowed inside, so it's definitely more of an adult hangout spot. Overall, a cool place to grab a beer, relax, and check out some local brews. I'll definitely be back

They were really nice about it. The nachos were really large and tasted great. The tacos were amazing but SUPER spicy! My dad had gotten them tons of times and this was the first time his mouth was on fire. If you like spicy these are perfect for you, if you like fish tacos ask for the sauce on the side because these are PHENOMENAL! Definitely worth trying!

My wife and I were initially planning to go to All Seasons Pools and Spas, but since they had just…read moreclosed, we decided to swing by Keg and Cork right next door. When we walked in, I wasn't exactly wowed by the decor--it's pretty standard with a front desk, some tables, a wall lined with beer taps, and a few TVs. But we were welcomed by Debbie, who I believe is one of the owners. She was super friendly and explained how everything works: you link your credit or debit card to a special card that lets you pour your own drinks from the taps, keeping track of your tab as you go. On the opposite wall, there's a nice little area filled with board games, including dominoes, which was a fun addition. The tables were occupied with a few patrons, and there are three TVs where they show football games on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays. They even have a basket of free snacks--definitely a thoughtful touch to keep everyone sober and happy! We tried a few wines and beers from the taps. I think they rotate them, but I'm not entirely sure how often. We also played a few rounds of dominoes, which added to the fun. By the time we left, we both agreed that Keg and Cork is a great spot to unwind and try something a bit different. If you're looking for a casual place to hang out and have a little beer or wine, I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

Their burger also beat the one I had at the steakhouse and many other places. The smoked ribs were top notch as well. They change their menu frequently, so you gotta be sure to check their website. If you're looking for a beautiful patio space near the creek and you care for good food but not the fancy stuff, go no further. They serve in paper plates. You order at the counter and pickup your food when it's ready. Enjoy!

You can imagine my happiness when I stumbled upon this bar/gaming room with the funny German sounding name when I realized it was a glorified pinball arcade room that also served beer. This place is straight amazing-50+ of the greatest pinball machines are available to play.They do use the "game-card" system to pay for these games,which can make playing these games way too easy-games tend to cost about $1 a game in game credits to play,which is far more than I paid when I was an 8 year old kid but then again,that was 45 years ago. They have a pretty solid beer selection-beers tend to go for anywhere between $7-$8 a beer-not too bad in my opinion.Though they do offer a pretty unique item called "Das Boot" which is a pretty large boot that cost $40 and comes with a fill up at time of purchase and 20% off on future fill ups-though not sure what the original cost of a fill up is exactly. One massive upgrade I've learned in the pinball world is nowadays you can download an app by Stern Inc,the majority manufacturer of most of the popular pinball machines and you can register your pinball play and it will keep tabs of everywhere u play and all the scores u achieved on the various pinball machines-I really enjoyed this feature-I only wish they had this when I was in my prime of pinball play when I was a youth. This place doesn't have the best hours but I'm sure there is a reason for these hours-M-F the hours are 5p-10p and on weekends they open at 12p... In closing-If you ever find yourself in the Rocklin area and you get a yearning to try out your pinball machine skills-I couldn't recommend this spot any higher as they are a very unique spot offering a truly awesome experience-a trip down memory lane for some and a whole new world for the younger generation-You should get out there and have some fun. PS-I failed to mention this place is very family friendly-on my particular visit the place was flooded with kids from elementary to high school age honing their pinball machine skills and enjoying every minute of it.

The whole space is clean and welcoming. It's loud, but that's because it's a pinball spot. The staff are super friendly and provide great service. The mac n' cheese bites I had last week were freshly prepared (from scratch), cooked to order, piping hot, and totally delicious--and also under $10. The beers and ciders on tap are all mostly from small, local makers and under $10/pint. They also have plenty of NA drink options. If you're a pinball person, I dare you to find a more accommodating spot for playing and vibing out. If you're not a pinball person, this is a great place to fall in love with the game.

Some of the best dining experiences aren't planned, they're discovered…read more With the thermometer climbing to 103 degrees, the Spain vs. France World Cup semifinal kicking off on the big screens, and a craving for an ice-cold craft beer, I wandered into Rustwater Kitchen & Taproom, a downtown Fairfield favorite that's been serving locals since 2017. Within minutes, I knew I'd found exactly where I wanted to spend a hot summer afternoon. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between neighborhood tavern and craft beer destination. Vintage bicycles hang overhead, dozens of rotating taps line the wall, and the energy is lively without ever feeling chaotic. Whether you're catching the match, meeting friends after work, or simply escaping the summer heat, Rustwater has that welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay for another round. Following the bartender's recommendation, I ordered the Chicken Ciabatta from the specials board with a side of crispy tater tots, and it was absolutely the right call. The sandwich arrived beautifully presented on a perfectly toasted ciabatta roll with just the right amount of crunch. Inside was juicy grilled chicken layered with smoky bacon, melted provolone, crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and a flavorful pesto mayo that brought everything together without overpowering the fresh ingredients. Every bite delivered a wonderful combination of textures and balanced flavors. The tater tots were exactly what great tavern food should be, golden, crisp, and light on the outside with a fluffy interior. They became downright addictive when dipped into a combination of ketchup and a Ghost Hot Sauce that once they are out they are out adding a slow-building kick that complemented the crispy potatoes perfectly. As I enjoyed a cold pint from their outstanding rotating tap list, Spain put the finishing touches on a 2-0 victory over France, sending them to the World Cup Final. Great soccer, an exceptional craft beer, and a fantastic lunch, it doesn't get much better than that on a scorching summer afternoon. Rustwater has earned its reputation over the years, and it's easy to understand why. Friendly service, an outstanding craft beer program, elevated tavern food, and an atmosphere that invites you to linger long after the final whistle. If you're looking for one of downtown Fairfield's best spots to enjoy creative tavern fare, explore an ever-changing lineup of craft beers, and catch the big game, Rustwater Kitchen & Taproom deserves a place on your list. I'll definitely be back to see what's on tap next, and without question, those crispy tater tots will be making another appearance on my table with the ghost hot sauce, if still available, due to the company going out of business.

Wednesdays at 6:30, every two weeks. Four categories, ten questions per category. Grade another team's paper like school. We killed the blue movies category last week. Trivia master is def a movie guy. I would come back for this trivia format, yes. This was also a good spot to watch the niner game a few weeks back. Back when we were winning. Sigh.

I want to come back for music bingo or vinyl night. Bring your own vinyl. Color me intrigued. Not sure what music people listen to here but I have options. They have a lot of cool stuff happening here. Mostly friendly vibes, great beer selection on local craft AND imports. Bathroom report: it's whatever. Reminds me of midtown with the jankiness but I may just be prior-homesick. I wandered into a nearby storeroom for tp one night but there was ? more tp inside the b room that I missed. Oops.
