A liquor store with far more beer than you might imagine, a good wine selection, and, of course, a wee bit of liquor too. Staffers are experts on different categories.

45 Day St... also good pizza, with candlepin bowling, to boot!
People come from near and far for their coffee (and even just the atmosphere of lounging with it in their cafe). You should too.

Drinks & Nightlife
Best beer list in Davis, and one of the best on this side of the river. The food is much better than you'd expect at a pub, as well!

Arts & Culture
