Primo's Bar •

“This place is cool, especially when you pass by after the jale and sell seafood next to their bar where they sell beer. The food is very good, whether tacos or seafood and it is one of my favorite places to come and eat with confidence. Besides, "El primo" is very kind to all his clients.“

The Boardroom Bar • $$
1528 J St, Modesto - 5.08 miles

“If you’re looking for a place that absolutely nails the vibe, the drinks, and the food, The Boardroom is it. This bar delivers on every level, and a huge part of that magic comes from Stephanie, who is hands-down one of the best bartenders you’ll ever meet.

Stephanie doesn’t just make drinks, she *creates* them. Every cocktail is perfectly balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care and skill. You can tell she knows her craft inside and out, and it shows in every glass she serves. Whether you’re ordering a classic or letting her surprise you, you’re guaranteed something amazing.

And the food? Unreal. Stephanie doesn’t just shine behind the bar, she absolutely crushes it in the kitchen too. The in-house sauces she makes are next level, each one packed with bold flavor and clearly made from scratch. They elevate every dish and give the menu a homemade, high-quality feel that’s hard to find these days.

Honestly, everything on the menu is worth trying, but if nothing else, you have to get the chipotle chicken tacos. They are outstanding and alone are reason enough to come back again and again.

Between the great atmosphere, incredible food, and Stephanie’s unmatched talent with both drinks and dishes, The Boardroom isn’t just a bar, it’s an experience. Highly recommended.“

I really appreciate that as it's really hard to find good food.That's gluten free. They went out of their way to do this for me. The food was excellent! I highly recommend their hot wings and french fries! Delicious!“

Had a wonderful time and I will definitely be attending again in the near future..“

“Great place to go to play darts or shoot pool. Sometimes its packed sometimes its not. Waitresses are friendly and attentive. They dont have food but they will make you a bag of popcorn if you ask and they allow you to bring in outside food. No outside drinks though. Tuesdays the play bingo you can play 3 cards for $10 im not sure what it costs to play all games. And I know there's a payout not sure the exact amount in the pot. On Saturdays they have a dart tournament that you can buy in to (must have youre Phoenix card) . Overall its a pretty fun place. Depending on the day and time of day you might have a quite atmosphe other times its semi loud but tolerable and other nights it could be very very loud. Try it im sure you'll enjoy it.“

“This seemed like a nice place to hangout. There was a pair of pool tables, a juke box, and an electronic dart board. The music had a variety of types. On the weeknight I visited there weren't many people but I imagine its much better on weekends. The only offputting thing was the sketchy crowd in the parking lot. I appreciate that there was extra security present.“

“Love this place. One bad thing is that the new to-go containers ruins the food. By the time it gets home the moisture from the steam makes the bread soft and rubbery. If you can eat in store tho, you will be delighted. Fingers crossed they go back to the old to go containers (cardboard boxes)“
