Hidden in plain sight, The Farmer & The Bootlegger is Clovis’ secret speakeasy—a whisper of the past where craftsmanship, connection, and quiet rebellion meet. When the world went dry, local farmer Finn Pollasky and the daring Barbara von Lichtenfeld built a refuge the law couldn’t touch: a place for joy, warmth, and a little mischief. He brought the grit of the valley; she brought the glamour of old Europe. Together, they turned a dusty alley into a haven where laughter spilled freely, and the night stretched long. Step through and into their legacy—where you’ll find handcrafted cocktails, warm conversation, and an atmosphere that feels both secret and familiar. Every pour honors the art of doing things right—and the enduring spirit of Clovis, where the past still lingers in every glass and the promise of another story waits just beyond the next toast.

    We drove in an hour to town for an appointment and then had another WONDERFUL lunch at Max's Bistro. With the rain it seemed more people stayed much longer and it was a real happening place. Once again GREAT experience with the ambiance, food selections that were very delicious as always and their great staff. This is truly one of our top restaurants in Fresno.

    No matter who I sit with. As an individual or with friends at the bar. Watching the team flow behind the bar, and work together as a team is amazing. Not missing a beat. Josh is such a knowledgeable bartender. Knows where each and every ingredient is sourced, originates, and created. Having that type of knowledge serving your drinks really assures patrons in their choices that the make.
