UPDATE on Aug., 10, 2023: About 16 neighbors met-up last night. Here are some photos:
The Pioneer Tap Room is celebrating its 4th anniversary this month as a casual spot in Suisun Valley for adult beverages, mostly musical entertainment, and pop-up kitchen food. It’s 11 miles from the Welcome Center at 4491 Suisun Valley Road in Fairfield on the back road from Hiddenbrooke to Napa, but Napa it’s not. The building began as a produce stand and stayed vacant next to the Suisun Wine Cooperative for many years before Tony Powell transformed the space with a double-decker hodgepodge of décor and construction materials that are funky, but fit the surroundings.
Did I mention this ain’t Napa? Come see for yourself. Join your neighbors there for a Hiddenbrooke Neighbor Meet-up on Wednesday, August 9 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. No RSVP is needed; just show up. We picked a Wednesday because that’s when our favorite local musicians will be performing a smattering of tunes from the 1970’s to 1980’s to whatever they feel like. Chris (Holmes) and Rob (Lopez) met as music students at Solano Community College. They are much more than a duo, and 1/3 less than the popular Rhythm Method Trio as they most frequently perform around town. They are usually joined on Wednesdays by Jeff Curtis who also performs with Time Bandits, Whiskey and Honey, and Hey Jude bands, and Todd Frank. It’s so fun watching these accomplished musicians and long-time friends entertain each other as much as the crowd. I always put bucks in the tip jar to request that they keep playing whatever they want to.
Aside from the music, there will be food from Biscuits BBQ prepared by Chef Brett Schaublin and Jessica Kerr. Their menu board varies but always includes tri-tip, racks of ribs, pulled pork, and several sides. They come highly recommended by Jason Lewis and Marco Moroyoqui in quotes on Nextdoor. Oh, and Tony’s staff will be pouring a selection of very local beers and wines inside for you to enjoy inside or outdoors.
