    Joe's has been remodeled, still has sawdust on the floor, but it looks fresh and clean. Come on down and buy me a drink.

    Favorite bar in Chico right here! Classic old time college hangout on weekends. Joes is known for its wood shavings on the ground

    The sawdust, the peanuts, the back patio, and 1:30AM when the entire bar is inexplicably singing Don't Stop Believin' even though Journey sucks

    Been here a few times to see moonshine bandits and various other bands. Always enjoyed the show…read more Drinks were great and so is service. Very down to earth.

    Went with my gal to see the band Amahjra. Had a great time and got a few drinks and chicken strips…read more They do an excellent job of keeping the tables clean and clear of food when you finish. Leo came by and cleaned our table off. Unfortunately I had removed my lower partial denture to eat and I wrapped it up in a napkin. I wasn't paying attention and Leo grabbed our baskets and empty drinks for us. About 30 minutes later my gal says where is your denture? Oh NO!!!!! IT GOT THROWN AWAY!!! So I found Leo and told him to see if he remembered which garbage can it may have been tossed in. We went to the first one he apologized but it wasn't his fault. I dug in and couldn't find it in the first can and it was a mess. Nasty! But no denture. He says must be the can behind the bar. I expected him to bring it out for me to dig through. Nope Leo dives in digging through the trash and about half way in the nasty mess he suddenly pops up with my denture in hand!!!!! Hands it to me. Amazed he didn't hesitate to help find it. And apologized for taking it. It's was his fault and I appreciate his help BIG TIME! Saved me about $1700. Couldn't believe we found it. Can't say thanks enough for the effort. Really appreciate him digging through the trash to help. Thanks bud! If I could give 10 stars I would leave 100!!!! See you again soon!

    Bella's is one of those Chico places that just feels like Chico. It's been a downtown staple for…read moreyears, and even though I don't make it in nearly as often as I used to, every time I go back it feels pretty much exactly how I remember it, in a good way. The wings are the obvious move here. Bella's has built a reputation around them for a reason. They're big, messy, loaded with flavor, and absolutely not something you order when you're trying to look civilized. If you leave with completely clean hands, I'm not sure you actually ate wings. The rest of the food holds its own too, but coming to Bella's and not at least considering the wings feels slightly disrespectful. The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a downtown sports pub. TVs everywhere, games on, people talking over each other, drinks moving around, and enough noise to make the place feel alive without completely losing the ability to have a conversation. On a big game day, it's even better. Service has always been friendly and laid-back in my experience, even when they're slammed. There's nothing overly polished about Bella's, and honestly, I wouldn't want there to be. That's part of the charm. I don't go out in downtown Chico nearly as much as I used to, but Bella's is still one of those places I'm always happy to end up at. Good wings, cold drinks, sports on every screen, and that familiar downtown Chico energy. Some places don't need to reinvent themselves. They just need to keep doing what made people like them in the first place. Bella's is one of those places.

    So, Bella's has one of the best Happy Hours, IMO. I love me a cold brew off the tap (Sierra Nevada)…read morealong with their loaded tots. The serving is so HUGE and they are spiced to the max with a great mix of cheese (lots of it!), bell peppers, onions, and hamburger (I think), whatever the meat is... ITS DELISH!! I go there when I want great bang for my buck, def a super good deal. It hasn't been very busy when I've been there which is great because that means I'll get my order quickly ;) I mean, at happy hour I'm going for the deal not the people so... it works for me!
