1. The Naked Lounge Tea & Coffeehouse
Though I have left Chico behind, the Naked Lounge still holds a piece of my heart---a piece that is probably far more comfy and filled with tea-induced warmth than I am at the moment. I'm jealous.
In Chico, having a bicycle means that you often…More »
2. Panama Bar & Cafe
I was stuck between 4 and 5 stars for this place. I first concluded that only 5 was appropriate, then inched back towards 4 upon recalling memories of pathetic drunks wailing along to Sweet Home Alabama for the 173rd time in the front room. But you…More »
3. Winco Foods
This place is my grocery heaven. I now live 3 hours away, but WinCo remains a necessary stop to grab non-perishables from their lovely bulk bins while passing through town. You'd think that the enormous array of choices would be overwhelming, but it…More »
4. The University Bar
I don't feel the need to describe U Bar. Those who know it, know what it's about; those that don't know...we don't really mind their absence. It's a safe distance away from Riley's and LaSalles (no offense...sort of). That is not to say that the U…More »
5. The Banshee
Good beer selection
Friendly bartenders
Chalk in the bathrooms, though I can never seem to locate it to write my own snarky comments
Food, supposedly, though I have yet to try it
TVs to watch sports if that's what you fancy
Dark, which I suppose is a plus…More »
6. Cafe Coda
I've only ever been here once to eat - back when they served a full dinner menu (now it's just pizza and drinks in the evening) but have visited plenty of other times for the music. It's not necessarily an ideal setup for bands, but right now they…More »
7. El Rey Theatre
This listing needs a bit of a revamp; the El Rey probably can't be considered a cinema site anymore, and thus I figure it no longer has any affiliation with United Artists.
Aside from that-
Ok, so I'm 21. I'm still young by the standards of anyone…More »
8. Sierra Nevada Taproom & Restaurant
The food here isn't really all that special, but it's a cool place to go if you're hosting visitors. Beer fanatics can take a tour of the brew house and breathe in the lovely scent of fermenting hops that South Chicoans know so well.
I'd recommend…More »
9. Sunset Hills Golf Course
Is Sunset Hills even still open?
I'm just relieved that they decided not to turn it into a stinking Wal-Mart after all.
Last I heard, it was closed except for the driving range and there was talk of converting it into a disc golf course, which is not a…More »
10. Jack's Family Restaurant
90% of my visits to Jack's have been between the hours of 2am and 4am. Where else do you go then? Denny's? At least this place has a more local feel to it.
I don't think the thought "mmm Jack's sounds good" has ever crossed my mind. Its value to…More »
11. Sacred Art Tattooing
I don't know if it's unfair to review a shop based on your experiences a couple of years ago. But despite the new location and new faces, it's still the same name, so I might as well tell my tale.
#1) I went here (at the old location) for my first…More »
12. Main Street Pizza
I probably shouldn't rate an establishment based on my own genetic defaults, but Main St. still stands as the only pizza that has ever managed to bless me with an honest-to-goodness allergic reaction. Impressive! Or scary. Either way--I had terrible…More »
