So your boss sends you to Fresno to work a gig as a party princess for a four-year-old’s birthday, and you drive over six hours round trip in full glitter. Obviously, you can’t let your only memory of Fresno be singing “Let It Go”, so you ask a local coffee shop where the real magic is. They send you to Modernist Craft Cocktail Bar. I ordered a bomb mocktail because I still had to drag my Prius all the way back to San Luis Obispo that night. The bartenders were super welcoming and patiently listened to the tragic ballad of my party princess woes. Rolled back into SLO at 4 a.m., running purely on Modernist mocktail power and spite.

Very pricey. I got an alcoholic pillow of foam with my midori sour.

Modernist is one of if not the best bar/lounge in the Central Valley

One of my favorites spots in Fresno. The drinks 10/10. The staff 10/10. The vibes 10/10. Love this place so much it’s a weekly stop at this point! Had the BEST time during the PRIDE party! 10/10 DJ and always love to support local LGBTQ+ causes. Just wish they had more events like this year round cause I’d be first in line every time!
Love this bar! Friendly, excellent drinks, perfect ambiance. Saw one review that insinuated if you aren’t white you are going to get bad service. As a proud brown woman I can say with full confidence that person was absolutely wrong. This is my go to place and will continue to be for the foreseeable future 😘

Quit pushing that pride message on people. Idc what people do on their own time, just dont pressure it on us by promoting it at the bar or on your instagram. Im like Most i just want to go and have a drink and chill. I will not go back and will not recommend this place to anyone.

This place is what I consider the pinnacle of cocktails in Fresno. I've been a few times and I've been pleasantly surprised every time. I consider myself a drink enthusiast and wow, they just seem to do everything right. Also, extremely clear ice. 👏👏👏

If you are visiting Fresno from a large city with legit cocktail bars, don't waste your time here. The drinks I tried at this joint all fell flat, some being outright terrible. The service and ambiance were fine, if you like listening to the Eagles in your fancy bar. However, if you're altogether impressed by a bartender with hand tattoos and hipster facial hair?!? You'll love this place.
