City Hall Tavern

Pretty much what DYCSoccer17 wrote. It’s ok. It’s a restaurant which has some decent beers available. Good food. Pleasant service as a rule.

This place opened about 6 months ago. It’s owned by the same group that owns Bistro 33. It’s located in the old Davis City Hall, which is pretty cool and spacious. Wood floors, dark, but with weird decor. Basically, the owners re-cycled all of the decor from their failed midtown Sacramento burger bar called SpinBurger. There’s a side room with a ping pong table, which is really noisy, obnoxious, and frequently full of unruly kids. Makes for a very loud and unrelaxing environment. With that said, the beers they have on tap are mildly interesting, and I poke my head in every now and then. They were serving 3oz samples of Utopias last night for $20, so I really can’t complain about that. They do serve their beer in bullshit 14oz glasses, despite the fact that they blatantly lie and say they are "16 oz" pours on their beer board. The food is pretty tasty. The bartenders are pretty clueless, for the most part.
