Basil's

I feel sorry for Stockton. It probably could be a decent city without all the murders but that makes the city a less than desired location.

This place is conveniently located across the street from the Hilton.  It makes for the safest walk after a night of drinking.  They have many different TV's for all you sports fans out there.  They have a digital jukebox once the sports games are over that have a variety of music to choose from.

There is a narrow smoking patio with a small TV so you don't have to miss any plays if you go out for one.

I cant speak to the food but there is a vending machine if the kitchen is closed.  There also is a large selection of beer on tap and more in a bottle should you desire. They have a large assortment of liquor to choose from also!

If I was forced to visit Stockton again, I would definitely come back here!

-1 star for the uncomfortable bar stools.

I want to try this place on a weekday. The location is in a line of little shops. This place never got overly packed, however, there were a lot of people there. The staff was really nice to start so that's always a good thing! As for drinks, a little on the pricey side, but It's not going to break the bank. Plus the atmosphere is worth it. It's probably a bar where regulars go and everyone knows each others names?  I think the smoking area outside will be nice for hot summer nights.

This is first bar I ever went to when I turned 21 and I love it! No other bar in Stockton can compare to it. The inside is nice, but a little small, and I like that they have an outside area for the smokers. If you ever go there, ask for their house drink, called 420, you won't regret it.
