Twisted Vine
127 W. Commonwealth Ave.
Fullerton, CA 92832

Nestled close to the downtown Fullerton area, the dimly-lit Twisted Vine is a classy bar specializing in wines and beers, but you'll find some little bites here as well. Far from the typical sports bar motif, the low-lit, low-noise, elegant atmosphere is appropriate for a romantic time between a couple, but, is just as perfect as a place for a bit of one-on-one, heart-to-heart conversation with your pop. Along with an interior that is dark and plush with an oak-like atmosphere, the bar offers everything from white & red wine flights using wines from California, France and elsewhere, to beer flights, sparkling wine and more. The selection of beer here, either by the bottle or by draft, is equally impressive too.

Max Bloom's Cafe Noir

Entering this coffee shop is like time traveling back in time to the Jazz Age of fedoras, trench coats, and film noir. The interior feels like a 1940's music store too, and the walls are covered with vintage posters and movie memorabilia. Depending on your dad's age, he may feel right at home in a pleasant trip down memory lane. Local musicians and comedians come to perform at Max Blooms on the weekends, so depending on the day you come, you may be able to catch a great performance There is a street parking and a shared parking lot nearby too, making it easy for visitors. The interior is small to medium sized, so a group of two to four would be optimal.
