Spokeasy Public House Reviews
I love these guys! They always have stellar food trucks out, a rotating tap lists and down right cool Vibe.
My husband and I live very close by to Spokeeasy. He has been here with our nephew to have beers on tap after a hard day of yard work. I have stopped by because I needed water for my dogs and they were happy to oblige. Service is usually very friendly. They have a backyard you can eat in. Ambiance is very hole in the wall. My husband always stops by here to have his cooking juice. They have cute artwork on the wall that you can buy from local artists through cash app. Let's get to the good stuff, the beers. We enjoy this place because they have such a variety of craft beers from all over. They currently have craft beer due to Saint Patrick's Day. My husband and I have yet to be disappointed.
I had the cinnamon cider and it was yummy. This place is great on a Sunday night because this place does not close early like other places. Also the food truck parked outside is very good. The service here is always great. The ambiance is decorated nicely with different art work. There is also outdoor seating but there is plenty of indoor seating.
I just realized I wrote a review for Spokeasy after having my first beer there in 2015 LOL. Apparently they made an impression because first visit reviews of a business are not acceptable or fair, but I guess I had a feelin (...and like house of pain said, "If you got the feelin, jump up punch the ceilin". Well, spokeasy is the tiger uppercut of blowing the roof off these other sucka taphouses in the No. (Insert corny line eyeroll here ) Anyway, fast forward 8 years, and I can say after stopping in on different days, at different times, in every mood, in any weather, after work, on the weekend, with friends, my girl, or solo...without a doubt Spokeasy is the best local watering hole in Fresno. Ever since the ownership switched a few years back, Spokes has excelled in every possible way imaginable. Jacob, Jared, and Mike continually crush it, both in their selection of styles of beers as well the rarity of their offerings. They opened the back patio to welcome you to "Gnarnia" a few years back. They have 8 taps constantly rotating that bring you the best beers across America and beyond, and the fridge always has at least 20 new beers, even for the most distinguished beer connoisseur in your circle. I've probably tasted over 12,000 different beers and they always have that new new and that good good. There are like 40-50 bottles and cans at any given time in the fridge, and there are no shelf turds. They survived through the madness of covid and stepped up their social media game to keep us all connected during our times of isolation. That example highlights the family vibe that they effortlessly create among the patrons n owners. You feel it when you are there (so much so, I found it intimidating at first). Everyone was so close and friendly, I felt like I was intruding on some intimate homebrew club or something. But that feeling was quickly forgotten and dismissed. I can easily say I have had some of the best "bar fly" conversations with strangers at spokes, many of the folks becoming good friends to this day. I have been given some of the best share beers by strangers, not even being part of a clique or conversation but get a taster just because you are here. I've heard some of the greatest soundtracks in the background here. The list goes on and on.. My only complaint is they need to be on untappd, because when I travel I've found some of the best out-of-town spots based on that app, so the visitors in the No are potentially missing iut on this treasure of a location. Talk to your local HR. Or HK for that matter.
Fun spot to snag beers and make a new pal or 3. Amazing selection, great service, knowledgable staff. Pop in during your next tour of Tower District!
