Buddy’s Pub – NightView
TweetBy Kate Serpa I hadn’t heard about Buddy’s until recently when a friend of mine told me about a bar with a great tap selection and a lax rule on throwing peanut shells on the ground. My initial thought was: in Modesto? I haven’t heard of such a place. I’m a bit on the arrogant [...]
Go Big Or Go Home – Hero’s Sports Lounge
TweetNightView Hero’s Sports Lounge & Pizza Co. “Go big or go home,” By: Kate Serpa I don’t get very excited over sports bars. I’m not one to tune in for big games, I couldn’t tell you who is on whatever team… I’m more of an indoor martini sort of person rather than a baseball [...]

For Lee Palleschi, Master Distiller and owner of Valley Spirits of Modesto, a basement was where his passion began and now thrives [...]

NightView: Galletto
TweetBy Kate Serpa When given a wine list at a restaurant, I usually close my eyes as discreetly as possible and haphazardly point something out near the top of the page. Unsurprisingly, this has continuously resulted in poor wine choices. The wine culture, I will admit, has always made me feel completely out of the [...]
