About The California Clipper

The California Clipper is a vintage bar with a relaxed, low-key atmosphere. Featuring cozy booths and a long bar, the establishment has a dark ambiance and often hosts live music, especially during the summer when live performances are nearly nightly. The bartenders are known for their expertise and provide good service, offering a selection of classic cocktails and a diverse list of drinks, including non-alcoholic options. The space is lively and active, perfect for dancing, events, or just enjoying a drink. The vintage look and neon red glow create a cool, old-school vibe, while the bathroom, decorated with graffiti, adds a humorous touch. Although parking can be challenging, the bar is wheelchair accessible and easy to reach on foot. It’s a place where stories and good vibes flow freely, making it a favorite spot for both locals and visitors.
