I was in Chico on a recent trip and the people at the hotel recommended going to the Downtown Farmers Market to eat. We went to the market and parked across the street from the Madison Bear Garden. We walked around the market and passed on the food. I told my wife that I had eaten in the Bear in my deep dark past. This is a college dive bar that serves food and has been doing it for close to 50 years. It hasn't changed much in 50 years. Look for the deal of the day when you...

Decided to eat here because I ate here years ago, as a teenager. I wanted to go back to see if it was still worth visiting.

We have been coming here for years but will no longer come to watch sporting events like football. The food is good but overpriced. The manager/bar tender has been rude and unhelpful to me and my friends too many times. It's football Sunday and once again he won't put the game on the TV for our large group to watch. He does this on Thursdays too. He has lost them a lot of business. Come on it's the niners! Don't waste your time and go to Woodstocks.
