Best Folsom
"Hot Spot":
Hacienda Del
Rio |

is well known as a great place to unwind after work.
Margaritas are always in demand as co-workers & friends
usually convene on the patio deck, to enjoy the warm weather

Best Place to
Take Out-of-Towners:
Historic
Sutter Street |
| This
one was an easy choice, as Sutter Street is always a popular
location. Sutter Street is a lot like Old Sacramento with its
historic buildings still in place since the gold-rush era,
with ample opportunities to shop, dine, and entertain one
another. You can't go wrong on Sutter Street - there's
something for everyone! |

Best Winter
Activity: Biking Folsom's Trails / Watching the Kings (tie) |
| In
the cold winter months, taking advantage of the wonderful
trail system in Folsom is a great escape from the indoors.
Even on rainy days, you'll still find people out on walks, or
riding their bikes, taking in the scenery. When the wind and
rain is just too much, the Sacramento Kings are always a sure
bet whether it's at home, your local pizzeria, or even at a
sports bar. Everyone loves the Kings around here! |

Best Summer
Activity:
Folsom Lake |
| Let's
face it... it gets pretty darn hot in the summer Sacramento
months. It makes sense that Folsom Lake is many a boater's
home away from home in the summer! Even during the weekdays,
you'll find plenty of jet-skiers, water-skiers, and boaters,
out enjoying the wonderful sunshine. It's the perfect place to
enjoy it! |

Best
"Under 21" Spot: Folsom Lake Bowl |
| Folsom
has ample means of recreation throughout the city for those of
us over 21... but what about those who are not as fortunate to
be of legal drinking age? Folsom Lake Bowl is the best place
to go in Folsom. Glow Bowling on the weekends is where the
kids come out and the adults go home! |

Best
All-Around Bar:
Powerhouse Pub
/ Yager's Taphouse (tie) |
| The
term "watering hole" may have a negative connotation
to some, but to many, it means it's the place to be!
Powerhouse and Yager's are certainly that! Drop by and grab a brew, watch
the Kings game, and unwind after work - Powerhouse has plenty
of room to spread out, "people watch", and enjoy a
cold beverage. At Yager's, you can enjoy a great meal and then
hang out for a few beers. |

Best Live
Music:
Powerhouse Pub |
| One
of the reasons the Powerhouse was voted the best all-around
bar is the live music! Every weekend, you can see acts from
cover bands to old-fashioned rock 'n' roll, with some of the
best acts in the business. Powerhouse also has a great setup
as well, so plenty of people can enjoy watching the band,
without having to worry about getting cramped on to a small
floor. |
