After a long week of working, sometimes one has to release some steam! Well Vacaville has plenty to offer in the bar/restaurant scene. After carefully consulting with some local residents, I have compiled a short list of some fun places to eat and drink with friends and family. One thing is certain, Vacaville has a little something for everyone.

1. Stars Recreation Center

Located off of Browns Valley Parkway, this is a great spot for everyone in the family! It offers bowling, games and live music but more importantly, it has a fantastic bar scene. Stars offers 15 "ice cold" beers on tap, 24 satellite TVs and a huge 13 ft HD screen. Like sports? They have pretty much every sports package on cable that you could ever want. For those who enjoy live music, they have multiple bands perform each month!

2. Posh Couture Cakes

Spearheaded by designer and owner Jenn Clarkin, Posh is the go to place for specialty cakes, champagne, and espresso. During the day they are a exquisite (drive-through!) designer cake boutique, but after dark Posh transforms into an elegant place to sip fine wine and microbrews. Posh After Dark is Sunday-Thursday 8pm-12pm! Visit http://www.poshcouturecakes.com/ for more details.

EDIT: Posh Couture Cakes is now closed indefinitely.

3. Wine Styles

Located in Town Square in downtown Vacaville, WineStyles is a wine store and wine bar that features local favorites such as Vitus wines, Sudwerk draft beer annd food from Los Reyes and Fuso Ristorante. This is a great place to get familiar with local wines and hear some great local music. Visit http://www.winestyles.net/vacaville for more details.

4. Los Reyes

Located downtown, this place really has it all. Not only do they have delicious authentic Mexican cuisine, but their happy hour and full bar is superb. ¿Did I mention they serve over 50 types of tequilas?

5. Hisui 2 Sushi & Grill

This Japanese Sushi & Grill restaurant has more sushi rolls than you will know what to do with, and a happy hour that is just as awesome. Enjoy a little sake from time to time? This place has got you covered (see below).
