The Tavern at Zaca Creek

Restaurant

👍👍 Amazing local find! Chef Anthony is phenomenal and was very personable. He came out and greeted us as we were the last people to walk in around 9:40pm.

Louie B's

Cocktail bar

👍 Nice dive bar. Seems the locals love it. Went a little early so it was fairly empty but did pick up by 9:30pm when I left. Bartender was chill, drinks were priced eh, just ok. I think 4 rum and Coke’s was $36, I was expecting a little cheaper though for the vibe of the place. I hear there’s a karaok...

Jasper's

Bar

🫤 Considering my experience in the bartending business and doorman work, it was off putting to be told I wasn't going to be allowed in when I showed up at 1:28 am. Normally, in my experience, the doorman would let the single guy out alone go right in, because he's gonna drop money in a very short amou...
