Great Anniversary Party
We hosted our anniversary party at Friar Tuck's Restaurant & Bar and couldn't have asked for a better experience. From our first conversation, the team thought ahead about what we needed and kept us informed every step of the way. They offered creative ideas to help us plan while always respecting our budget, which meant the world to us. The space itself is beautiful and intimate, creating a magical atmosphere that made our celebration feel truly special. The staff clearly cared about making our day memorable, and it showed in every detail. We would absolutely recommend Friar Tuck's to any couple looking for a venue that treats you like family.

Excellent rehearsal dinner space!
I had the pleasure of attending a rehearsal dinner at Friar Tuck's in their banquet room. This setting was so unique from any other space in the area. I came in from the Roseville/Rocklin area, and coming to Nevada City is such an escape. If you are looking for a unique venue that your guests will talk about for months, why not make it about a mystical tree room (as they call it) and a fantastic meal? Highly recommend!
Emily Blackburn•May 22, 2026Thank you, Emily, for your kind words. We love hosting rehearsal dinners to kick off a couple's big day. Keep us in mind for future events, can't wait to share more wonderful experiences with you!
