What an awesome new spot in Kernville! We stopped by The Tipsy Deer on a sunny Saturday afternoon…read moreand were instantly impressed. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and features a clean, stylish look that already feels like a perfect fit for the town. Even though they're still finalizing some of the interior and decor, the space looks fantastic--you can tell they have a strong vision, and it's coming together beautifully. We enjoyed a couple of cold, refreshing beers and had the chance to chat with the owners, who were incredibly friendly and eager to share their plans. There's a food menu coming soon and an outdoor patio area in the works, which we're really looking forward to. It's the kind of locally owned, community-focused place Kernville needs, and we're so glad we stopped in. Can't wait to see what's next for The Tipsy Deer--we'll definitely be back!
