Bars: Although small for a college town, Davis is by no means boring. Trendy bars and restaurants are scattered throughout the downtown area. Law school student favorites include Sophia's, a Thai food restaurant with a fabulous bar and patio; Little Prague, a Czech restaurant with a great selection of beer and nibblers; Sudwerk, a brewery restaurant-bar with excellent beer and a huge patio; and Froggy's, a quaint corner bar.
Restaurants: Davis has just about every genre of food. Popular restaurants include Sophia's, The Bistro, Moshi Moshi, Dos Coyotes, In-N-Out Burger, Chipotle, Crêpeville, and Zia's Delicatessan. For more information, visit http://daviswiki.org/Restaurants.
Cafés: Many students looking for a place to study eschew the silence of the library for the welcome chatter of coffee shops. (The availability of heavily caffeinated beverages is also a huge plus.) Davis has many coffee shops to choose from: Starbucks, Common Grounds, Mischka's, and Crêpeville to name a few. For more information, visit http://daviswiki.org/Cafes.
Farmer's Market: On Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, local farmers, bakers, restaurants, and vendors set up booths in downtown Davis. Casual shoppers can enjoy live music while shopping for produce or other hand-crafted products. For more information, visit http://daviswiki.org/Davis_Farmers_Market. A five minute drive on Highway 80 West will take you to Pedrick Produce, a popular grocery store with a Farmer's Market feel, to find inexpensive and delicious local produce and food. For more information visit http://daviswiki.org/Pedrick_Produce.
Theaters: The Varsity Theater, a small privately owned cinema, frequently shows first-run, independent films. During the 2006-07 Asian Pacific American Law Students Association culture week, the Varsity screened a documentary at no charge to the public. Downtown Davis also has two Regal Cinemas.
