7 Best Pubs near Fresno

“Ok. Mixed feelings about this joint. It was the setting of the nightly before my sobriety date* back in 2006. It was The Body in the Bog back then, but the new owners have carried on the tradition of a proper small neighborhood pub setting with eloquence.
*I tied one on back in 2006, quit drinking two days later for 17 years. While still only consuming a bit for relaxation and to ease the mind nowadays, I just might head back here to whoop it up some evening just for the hell of it. Of course, with ridesharing apps and taxi services, I'd be able to safely navigate my way home after... wherever that ends up being.“

“Great First Experience at Mad Duck

Stopped in for the first time on a Thursday evening and had a great experience. The menu was smaller than expected, but the quality made up for it. We started with the calamari appetizer—crispy, well-seasoned, and paired with flavorful dipping sauces. Easily one of the highlights of the meal.

I ordered the steak salad and was genuinely impressed. The dressing had a nice tang, the greens were fresh, and the bold flavor of the blue cheese complemented the tender steak beautifully. The other entrée at our table was the Goat Cheese & Bacon Burger, which got high praise for its rich and savory flavor profile.

The Citra beer was easy-drinking and smooth, with a clean flavor that paired well with the food. Refreshing without being too heavy.

Service was excellent—our server, Jesse, was intuitive to our needs and stayed attentive throughout the evening without hovering.

All in all, solid food, great drinks, and welcoming service. I’d definitely go back.“

“Sequoia brewing is an oldy but goody. They have been a staple to the Tower District. The food, service, and atmosphere are solid. You get quality in a safe environment in a part of Fresno that is historic. You will always want to go back.“

“Still same ol Ruby's. Patrons where a bit obnoxious the day we were there. For being in Clovis prices are fair and the pool table is only $0.50. Bring cash, cause they do NOT take any form of electronic payments. No photos this time, we had one drink, I played one game, and we were off to the next stop. Kinda did a Clovis pub crawl.“
