5 Best Restaurants in Clovis, California You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them
Clovis, California — a city where the Sierra foothills roll gentle and golden, where the air is sweet with the scent of orange blossoms and the laughter of families echoes from shaded porches. Here, the streets are stitched with memory and migration, from old-town brick facades to the new neighborhoods where dreamers plant roots. Clovis is a patchwork — of ranchers and teachers, of Hmong and Hispanic families, of students, artists, and old-timers who remember when the rodeo was the biggest show in town.

Empty for years, a north Fresno grocery gets a new renter. Who is it? Why the delay?
After seven years of sitting empty, the former Lassens Natural Foods & Vitamins and Bentley’s Fresh Market in North Fresno finally has a new renter. But it’s not another grocery store — and there’s a reason for that. Mulligan’s Sports Bar & Indoor Golf is taking over the spot at the RiverView Shopping Center at Friant and Fort Washington Roads. It’s a bar and restaurant with golf simulators that has an existing location on Visalia’s Main Street. It’s expected to open in January or February. It’s planned to have eight golf simulators where customers can swing a club in front of large screens showing all kinds of golf courses. Also planned is a 40-person wrap-around bar with 16 taps. It will serve cocktails and specialize in whiskey. Though it will have a sports bar-style menu , you can order full dinners, including pizza, smashburgers, pulled pork sandwiches, and perhaps steak, said Shane Moss, the managing owner, who is opening the location with business partner Scott Wright. “You don’t have to golf to even come in,” he said, adding that some people try their hand at a game for the first time, while others just come to eat or drink.
