20 Best Bars in Chico

“The food was absolutely phenomenal. And Sophie made it so welcoming and fun I can’t wait to return.“

“Great staff! Great selection of Beers. the staff are well informed of the products served!“

“Roselle Bar & Lounge, a charming surprise, tucked into one of those newer mixed-use commercial/residential developments that can sometimes feel a bit sterile—but this spot has genuine soul. Sunlight danced across playfully colored walls, instantly making the space feel welcoming and alive.
Innovative and classic cocktails are offered alongside beer and a modest wine selection. The mocktails looked wonderfully thirst-quenching, but my soul was calling for an orange wine. It served its purpose quite nicely.
The menu centers on healthier bar food options, and the intention comes through beautifully. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully sourced, and lovingly prepared rather than simply assembled. The offerings lean playful, with subtle Asian influences that keep things interesting.
The rice tots? Unexpected, whimsical, and absolutely worthy of sharing—crispy little conversation starters.
But let’s discuss the pastrami sandwich. A glorious indulgence layered with melty cheese, kimchi slaw, and piled onto a locally baked brioche bun. Restraint was simply not invited to this meal.
My dinner companions opted for the cheeseburger and were completely delighted. Classic in concept, but elevated in execution, right down to the burger sauce, which struck that elusive perfect balance of tangy, savory, and craveable.
Roselle manages that lovely balancing act of feeling casual yet intentional, playful yet polished. A very happy little find in Chico, California.“

“Fantastic haunt for good, interesting beer options. Expect to spend usually about $9 per pint. The inside would really benefit from sound deafening panels. The outside area is really great with misters, tables, and cornhole.

Staff is always really great.“

“this place is totally amazing have to check it out delicious“

“That Andrew fellow in the kitchen makes an excellent pizza pie.“

“Karaoke, bingo, comedy. There always seems to be something going on at the studio inn. We always enjoy the bartenders because they are so kind and thoughtful and they're really good at their job. The second time I went in there they remembered my name. I highly recommend this place. I've probably only been here 10 times and of those 10 times I can honestly tell you that they've all been great experiences. Free popcorn and Cheez-Its is also a bonus.. lol“

“If you want to hear your next favorite band you didn't know existed, come to any show they have. The caliber of musicians that grace their stage will leave you wanting more. I have also heard touring bands rave about the stage, sound and hospitality.“

“I love Red Tavern! The atmosphere is the best, Whether you choose to eat inside or out. Cozy, quaint and inviting. They often have music on their beautiful patio which is fun!
The new owner always greets people like they are important and old friends. The wait staff is Great! Friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive to their customers,
The food!!!! Unique choices that are always good and filling.

“Staff seems a little stand off-ish originally, but you realize they are focused on delivering the reputation they have. I wanted to try the ribs but they were out when I arrived, which was a bummer as I've heard food things about their ribs. Food was great. Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. Great time.“

“I've eaten here twice now and it's been so good each time.“
