If you're looking for handcrafted cocktails & live music on a Friday or Saturday evening, Golden Era is your spot. Cocktails are created from house made syrups and bitters reminiscent of the "golden era" at the turn of the 20th century and prohibition styles.
I recommend the Grass Valley Girl and the Bramble. But if you're a Manhattan kind of folk, that one comes highly recommended also!
*Cover fees are likely on weekends with live music.

If you're a foodie, Three Forks is a must. From beverages to baked goods...this place is a local favorite. Pizza is terrific. I generally go for a Kombucha or iced Chai, but they are known for their award winning beers!
Almond Croissants served on Sundays and almost always sell out!

Very cute and eclectic restaurant with Chilean inspired menu. If weather permits, I suggest dining on the patio and ordering a house made Sangria or Blended Lemonade. Coffee Con Manjar is a delightful treat as well. Homemade Chilean bread balls served with Garlic Butter and Salsa are out of this world, you'll ask for seconds...trust me.
