Tap In, Cool Off & Turn Up: Summer Vibes in Full Swing

Summer’s doing what it does best—bringing the heat and daring us to enjoy every drop of it.😎

This last week I found myself back at Tap & Cellar, and honestly, it felt like coming home. It’s not some new discovery—it’s a staple. The beer list rotates enough to keep it fresh, the wine list skips the ego, and the food? Way more than bar bites (I’m looking at you, flatbread pizza). The vibe is relaxed but dialed in—dates, coworkers, solo sippers—it works for everyone. I’ll be sharing more about why this spot stays in my rotation, but for now, just go. Trust me.

Also, huge shoutout to Natali for updating one of our all-time favorite guides—Where to Swim & Splash in Fresno: 2025 Edition. Whether you’ve got kids to entertain or you just need a place to cool off without judgment, this list is packed with the best spots. Bookmark it, share it, live by it. 

And if you're ready for some music and a night under the stars, grab your tickets to the Bruno Mars tribute show at ApCal Rock’n Ranch this Saturday. The forecast is 🔥 but manageable, which means it’s the perfect excuse to get out, dance, and feel like you’re in Vegas for a night. Tickets at apcalrocknranch.com.

See you out there,

Where to Swim & Splash in Fresno
2025 Edition

This post is one I am consistently asked to get up as soon as the sweltering weather settles in for summer, and this year is no exception. Just for you dear readers, I have your updated 2025 summer round up of places to swim, splash and soak up the summer sun in the Fresno/Clovis area. Read more…

Why I Keep Coming Back to Tap & Cellar

When people ask me for a spot that truly feels like Fresno—comfortable, stylish, and full of flavor—my answer is always Tap & Cellar. This place isn’t new to me, and that’s exactly why I’m starting here. I’ve been coming back for years, and every time, it still hits.

• The beer list never gets stale. Rotating taps keep things interesting, and there’s always something local, seasonal, or a little unexpected on the menu.

• Wine without the ego. A thoughtful wine list that caters to casual sippers and connoisseurs alike. And the staff? Super approachable and happy to help.

• Food that’s more than just bar bites. Their charcuterie boards alone are worth the trip—salty, savory, and perfect with a pour. And don’t sleep on the flatbread pizzas—crispy, flavorful, and dangerously easy to demolish.

The space feels like a blend of rustic charm and community energy. You’ll see folks on dates, coworkers unwinding, and solo regulars who just want to enjoy a glass and good vibes.

This isn’t a first impression—it’s a long-term love letter. And over the next few weeks, I’ll break down all the reasons Tap & Cellar deserves a permanent spot in your rotation.

Coming up next Saturday: a guided sip through the ever-changing tap list. 🍺👀
