    Nice little neighborhood place. Everyone seemed to know each other. The wings were very good! I loved the plain (no sauce) and garlic parm was good. The drinks were good. Nothing special but they did the job. LOL. The staff was friendly and accommodating. And the happy hour specials are great! I'd go back for the wings if I was in the area.

    I got greeted as soon as I entered. She said sit where you like. I really wanted breakfast, I asked to see a menu, no breakfast. So I had planned on getting the veggie wrap. I chose my seat and went to the restroom. I came back, and I waited, and waited, waited, and waited. No drink order, no more acknowledgment. I felt like I was invisible after I came back. So I left!

    Finally giving a review on this place! Came here for a work lunch with some co-workers and we ordered an array of food. I normally get their wings when I come but this time I opted for the Southwest Salad which was really good. We got their Buffalo Chicken Dip was alright, the chips were really good but the dip wasn't my favorite. Other than that, service was amazing and I'll for sure be back.

    We were in Fresno for work and decided to stop by Kocky's Bar and Grill. Great place with a good variety of food and a full bar. The staff are all very friendly and make a great Old Fashioned! There was even a dj playing music. Now, the dj was playing some great songs the entire time we were there, but my only gripe is, he kept talking and singing on the mic. Just shut up and let us all enjoy the music bro... Other than that, we will definitely make our way back here to have some food and drinks when in Fresno, and I highly recommend you do too! Pro tip: Get the wings. Bomb.com Two thumbs up and two big toes for Kocky's Bar and Grill! Happy eating, my foodies!

    Kocky's has a limited but stellar lunch menu, highlighted by some of the best chicken wings, fries, hot link sandwiches, chicken wraps, chicken salads, and fish and chips in downtown Fresno. I ordered the chicken wings on two occasions, and they were delicious. The skin was crispy and had a golden-brown color. The meat was juicy, tender, and savory. They were well-seasoned and good-sized. I more recently tried with the buffalo sauce, which I preferred to the lemon pepper. There is a choice of 20 sauces for the wings, or you can request them fried naked. 3 Whole Wings Lunch Special, $11.99, is a good deal. The special includes 3 golden-fried whole wings, tossed in one of their signature sauces or naked, celery, and carrots. You can add fries for $6.47. I recommend getting the fries too, unless you are on a tight budget. The Fish & Chips Basket, $14.03, is also on point. It includes 4 fillets of southern-battered basa, served with house-made tartar sauce and fries. The fish is delicious, and the fish and chips is a hearty meal and a nice deal. Kocky's is also a popular downtown spot for happy hour and its signature cocktails. Service is friendly, but expect to wave down the server during busy lunch hours and happy hour when it gets crowded and noisy.

    Good wings. Parking is scarce. Staff=meh Hard to order via online when you have a giftcard. Overall, it was an ok experience.

    Fun atmosphere, friendly attentive staff. This place has an upbeat vibe anytime especially during happy hour right in the business district downtown. Happy hour has good drinks and appetizer specials.

    Bartender Sereniti is an absolute gem. First timer, fresh out the hospital after 2wks over the holidays, and she ensured I had a great experience. Chilled bourbon, frothy draft beer and fries so hot I burned my tongue! Great time, will return regularly! Thanks Kocky's

    Downtown Buffalo Shrimp Fries
    Kevin L.

    I need to stop going out to eat on Mondays because I feel like it results in the second tier chefs (just not the A Team on the busy nights) and bad experiences. For the first time ever, the disappointment started with the water, which tasted like chlorine. It was so bad that I had to ask for a Sprite because I couldn't drink it. Now the blueberry lemon drop and Buffalo shrimp fries were very good. The potato skins were average, but the Nashville chicken strips were over cooked and just not good. My son added sweet potato fries that were limp. Even with a happy hour discount, four drinks and three appetizers with tip was over $90. Was really looking forward to trying a new place, but should have probably just have stuck to what I know. Disappointing.

Parking is exactly what you'd expect for downtown, so just make sure you lock your car and don't leave anything visible. We went around 5 PM on a Thursday. It started fairly quiet and gradually got busier throughout the evening, but it never felt overcrowded. They do have a rule that if there's a waitlist, your time may be limited to about two hours so they can seat other guests, which is reasonable for a place like this. The drinks were fantastic. I honestly didn't have a bad drink all night. They offer cold drinks, room temperature drinks, hot drinks, and just about every type of spirit you can think of. The cocktails are very creative, and the bartenders will actually warn you ahead of time if a drink has flavors they think you might not like, which I appreciated. The bartenders were excellent and really knew what they were doing. We had a spicy margarita, mojito, whiskey smash, an ube cocktail, and a few others, and all of them were great. Prices were fair for the quality, creativity, and overall experience. Not cheap, but definitely not overpriced either. One thing I really respected was that they had Narcan and fentanyl test strips available on-site. You don't see that often, and it shows they actually care about people's safety. If you're looking for craft cocktails in Fresno, this place is definitely worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back.

Inside was so much smaller than I expected but the decor and music made it really chill and intimate in a comfortable way. We had four drinks in total and I'll review them below: -Kola Fashioned: had a strong cardamom flavor but the bartender warned us of that. Did not reflect the flavor of a typical old fashioned, but it was spiced, crisp, and refreshing. -Espresso Martini: honestly this could have had alcohol in it, it was so similar to other espresso martinis I've had. I was shocked by how creamy it tasted considering it was a very dark espresso martini. -Chili Margarita: really didn't taste anything like a margarita. It was carbonated, light, and refreshing. The Tajín rim was my favorite part of it and I didn't really get any spice in the drink. -Mint Mojito (Calme): this was hands down the best mint mojito I've ever had.

Mid-Saturday afternoon there were a few other customers but it was by no means crowded. We were able to walk right up to the bar and order right away. In retrospect, we should have tried a couple of different beers but we were both in the mood for / curious about the (aforementioned award winning) Big Daddy IPA. It was a good IPA and much better than the beer was 15 years ago, when we used to come for events but eventually stopped because (back then) the beer was just not good. It's really good now. The space feels a lot bigger and is more open now which is good for events. The decor is dark / painted black, with some skull themed decor. When we were there they were setting up for an "extreme metal" event but we left before it got underway. Next time we go I want to try the new Fresno State themed beer. I think it's called "Victory" something and is a blonde ale iirc. It's a nice brewery, comfortable and convenient with good beer, and we will be back. It would get a fifth star if they offered some food or had a food truck onsite. :) At my age it's hard to drink on an empty stomach-- I get intoxicated too easily...

Our waitress was very nice as well and suggested the Matchatini to the birthday girl, which she was already eyeing so that sealed the deal.
