The restaurant Sideboard in Danville has relocated from their Hartz Ave. location to a converted house on Railroad Ave. a few blocks a way in downtown Danville. The entry is on the side of the house and there is an outdoor patio in back with additional seating in a different building behind that. Diablo Dish has more about the opening here. I really want to try this place out, any recommended dishes?

With The Hop Grenade Taproom & Bottle Shop opening in early June in Concord according to the latest updates and Calicraft opening a tasting room this fall in Walnut Creek, not to mention ØL Beercafe & Bottle Shop in downtown Walnut Creek, that got me thinking about bars with good craft beer selections.
So for this week’s Friday Question of the Day, what is your favorite bar for craft beer?

I’ve seen plenty of toy cars, jeeps and wagons but this is the first children’s plane I’ve encountered. Spotted in front of the children’s consignment store Snickerdoodles in Danville. How cool is this?!
