Cool joint to catch a show or have a drink. Nice little bar and lounge area. Drink prices were really reasonable and the beer was ice cold! My only turn off was the bathroom

The best place in Fresno. I saw a new band here! Some of my heart lays here. The band I saw is now my favorite band for life. This place helps shape me as a rocker and metalhead and inspires me in music

This is my favorite place to go out for a night on the town. Great food, stiff drinks and the staff is awesome. Everybody from the bartenders to the security staff is friendly and genuinely make sure youre having a good time. Food is phenomenal (best burger in town), vegan options available for those that dont dig on meat too. Great place to watch a show too, the new sound guys know how to dail in the music. Karaoke on Tuesday is super fun too! Great atmosphere! 10/10!

Old school. Huge dance floor eclectic vibe. Has a punk feel. At 57 years new I loved it.

Always have fun at karaoke. One complaint is you can hear yourself singing because of the way the speakers are set up. But still good.

Its a bar....and a grill. They have live music, which is also good. 4/5 because the bartender was attractive, but my beer was barely above room temperature.

This is the hipster dive bar of Fresno. Its cool because theres a good mix of regular people and its not a pretentious place. Its a pretty ok place to check out if youve never been, or if theyre having a 90s music night or NYE celebration.

They had a nice atmosphere! I didnt really try much of the food, but I did try the fries. They were just the way I like them, crispy, flavorful and reasonably priced!Everyone there was friendly and the local artists were great! I enjoyed the music of all the local performers (Xiihab, Pockets, and BK) who were out tonight! I really enjoyed myself!This place is sometimes an all ages welcome establishment. I think thats great, because when I was a young adult not quite old enough to attend a lot of venues, but over 18, I was thankful for the places like this who allowed young adults and offered live music, art and culture. Plus, its in the Tower District!

Review №35

Neat place and hosts a lot events, but way too small for the amount of people attending each event. I went to 90s night and waited in line for a little over 2 hours before I could get in. They were literally counting how many people left and then letting that many people in. On the postive side the security guard and staff seemed friendly and it didnt take long to get a drink.

Everybody loves Strummers. A must stop on any pub crawl in the tower. They often have great music and bands that one would not expect would be is such an out of the way place. A true treasure. If you come to Fresno, don’t miss it.

Visited on a Friday night. Seemed like a fun and lively bar. Quite a few people that were obnoxiously drunk so expect an atmosphere like that if visiting late night (not too out of the ordinary for any bar late night).Didnt get a chance to try to eat here so cant suggest that.They have an outdoor patio with heaters which was nice for the winter or outdoor eating/drinks.

Strummers was really nice. It is considered a hole in the wall. Lol. But its one of the best hole in the wall spots for entertainment. The DJ played great HipHop music. I was visiting from Compton CA and had to see DJ Quik. The show was great. I will definitely return to Strummers again.

An amazing update to a classic establishment. The drinks are the same, the food is still amazing and the seating is better than it was. The bar lost some character with the remodel, but Im sure theyll work on that now that theyre open.

I mostly come here for the music entertainment but the food was pretty decent and so were the drinks. I really dig the vibes here. Also the security guards are cool. Any time I went outside to get some air they were always friendly

I freaken love this place. I go to shows here all the time! Its not always super hot in there like other venues. The food is amazing. Drinks are at a good price. The bartenders are extremely cool and nice. They have awesome events held there. Great atmosphere to hang out and drink and watch games too.

Visited on Halloween. Had a good time, met some new people, drinks were well made.Problem was that the service was slow. At one point, there were 3 people behind the bar just talking while customers waited. At the end of the night, they couldnt find my card and the woman bartender blamed me.i informed her that I had 1 drink and that she was out of line. Another patron said they did the same thing to him.I ended up getting my card back because a friend of mine (who had not been up to the bar with me at all) closed out my tab. What kind of bar just gives somebodies card out to a random person. I was very unsettled by this.My suggestion would be that if you go, dont leave your tab open.

Review №53

The place to go for live music in an intimate venue. If you want to get up close I mean really really close to your favorite performers Strummers is the place. They have two full bars during performances and a late night kitchen that makes great burgers and tacos. Some vegetarian and vegan options too Thai tacos are to die for. The ticket prices are rock bottom. Pay attention to your favorite artist tours and if they booked Strummers you need to make it to that show. Bigger name artists can sell out the venue easily so dont wait till the last minute to snag your tickets. Just be aware the security is pretty strict, no weapons or any of the normal no nos drugs/booze ect are allowed inside. But on the flip side it feels pretty safe! A lot of shows are even all age events so if you wanna bring the kiddos to rock out too its often an option!

I love the atmosphere of this place. Its for all tastes and preferences. Their beer is so good as well. Try whatever IPA of the season is. You cant go wrong with that.

Great Venue! Staff were very professional, prepping the crowd outside by checking tickets and IDs.Sound for both opening act and main was superb. Bar staff were friendly and food was good too. Was a little worried looking at Strummers from Google street view, but no worries inside. Had a blast!

Review №57

I have been going to strummers since it was called the starline, its one of the only places that caters to the metal community. That being said, security hassled me over my id so i was forced to enter as a minor even though im 25. Drinks are expensive but it didnt matter because security was ridiculous. I digress. Aside from that, the venue itself is kinda small but its great when bigger bands come to play. Its more intimate.

I usually dont leave bad reviews but this place definitely isnt a 4 and a half stars. They have a bar on one side and a stage on the other but once you buy the drinks on the bar side they wont let you walk to the stage side. Its the most ridiculous venue set up Ive ever seen.

Review №74

The Experience was awesome seeing a bartender name Gabriel work harder than James Brown. They said that James Brown was the hardest working man in Showbiz. God bless his soul theres a new sheriff in town Gabriel is the hardest working man in Showbiz no matter how backed up know matter how long the lines are his mind is focused on giving a hundred and 110% to the customer. Always his attitude is kick ass take names as a work ethic he gets from his father and grandfather its a pleasure knowing this young man he has incredible work ethic I hope that the venue recognizes that and appreciates that. I also WOULD like to thank the Men responsible .

This is THE place to catch fantastic concerts by up and coming bands...also hilarious comedy shows. Reasonably priced event tickets, good beer selection, yummy food. Located just a hair north of Olive in the Tower District, behind the Dollar Tree and next door to B of A bank (ATM available). Open in the afternoon and evening.

Came to see Devil Makes Three and really enjoyed the show and the atmosphere. I like that there are a few different areas of the bar where you can pick up a drink when its crowded, and my boyfriend was really glad that he could also get some tacos!! We will definitely visit again.

Review №93

It is a dive bar first and foremost. For example, the bathroom stalls arent attached properly to the walls anymore, there are comments on the written in too, and one of the womens restrooms is plastered with faces of teen icons from the nineties. The last part actually adds charms. It can be a little pricey for a group to see a show which may not be any good but its reasonably priced and one of the better evening entertainment places in Fresno.

Im here right now Im not a big drinker and the bartenders talk to me like I was stupid. I ordered a 50/50 thinking it would be sweet however it wasnt. When I went to ask for help to fix it or get something new they were not friendly in fact the male bartender was super rude even trying my drink I felt so insulted.I ordered a drink I paid for it they should service me and make me one feel comfortable and two customers right. Fix my drink. Or replace with equal value at least. Very disappointed. I do love the atmosphere. Was hoping for live music. Overall Id say good place cool people nice hang out awful bar service.
