Papa's Place

Showed up on a Tuesday night for a good dinner. I forgot that they do have music at times. I lucked out as John Pemberton was performing. It was an amazing show and, of course, one of the best Old Fashions I've ever had and an amazing burger.If you are in Clovis or the greater Fresno area, and you want a great drink and amazing food - I highly recommend Papa's Place

This was my 2nd time here, which each experience was different. The 2nd time, my boyfriend and I sat at the bar where we ordered an old fashion and classic margarita. The bartender said there known for the best old fashioned's in town. My boyfriend's an old fashion expert so he was excited. While I was waiting for my drink, I heard the bartender say "I guess I'm making a classic margarita". I thought to myself, is that a bad thing? I was a bit confused. Once my boyfriend came back to the bar we tried our drinks. The margarita was good, and as for the old fashioned, it tasted a bit watered down not strong like other ones we've had in the past. We then heard that the liquor they use for the old fashioned is made of 200 ingredientes (all the dark liquor bottles they have at the bar). This may be a reason why the drink tasted the way it did. We then got our check of $35 and it didn't state what each drink cost. To me, a classic margarita and old fashioned isn't going to cost $14-$16 each. The cost sometimes depends where you're at (restaurant/location wise) and if they have special ingredients on the menu, could be like a speciality/seasonal drink. The ambiance was nice and they had live music like last time, but this experience the same.

Cute, small bar I happened across while antiquing on a weekend. Met a friend there. We each had the barrel-aged old fashioned which is phenomenal. Friendly staff. Food looked good but we didn't have any as we had dinner planned at another place. They also have live music at times, but there was none while we were there.

I came here tonight to listen to one of my buddies perform. Love the atmosphere here and the food. The fish n' chips were very high quality and I really liked the seasoning on their fries. Great staff and a nice place to come relax, eat food, and listen to live music.

Papa's place is a cute restaurant in old town clovis. The decor has an old time feel, and they have live music some days. We started off with the fried green beans. They have a variety of homemade sauces like honey mustard, curry, ketchup, ranch, etc to go with it. Our waiter was nice and gave us some extra sauces to try. This was probably the tastiest part of our meal. For my entree, I got the pork belly. A large portion of it was fat, which is understandable as pork belly is a fatty cut. What I found strange was that some parts of the meat were really dry, and other parts were tender. I didn't like how the greens weren't trimmed. There were several hard fibrous kale bits in the salad which were inedible and a little distasteful. The chicken was also unremarkable. Overall, the food was just "okay" at Papa's place.

Fun place, live music, good food and good drinks. The old fashioned is good. My kids enjoyed the quality mac and cheese (not a kids version, this is the good kind). The jambalaya was also very good. We ate outside, they had plenty of heaters to keep us comfortable. Great service.

The place gives you a "the Great Gatsby" feel. The service was great and the food was good. I would definitely go back.

Great food and drinks. The bread sticks are delicious . Their pastrami sandwich was amazing. The service is great! Live music almost every night.

Great food, great service, and live music to boot. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

Go for the drinks, atmosphere and music but eat elsewhere. Tonight was my 2nd time there over the past few months and we have been disappointed in the food both times. From paying $15 for 8 pretzel bites to paying even more for an appetizer plate of chicken nachos with more lettuce and cumin than anything else - they can do much better. The chicken was dry, cheese not melted and there was 1 slice of avocado on the whole plate. Won't be ordering food here again.
