The Nightlife
The Retail Therapy
The concept of “bar hopping” was most likely created after someone walked the blocks of Olive Avenue. With multiple hot spots, Tower District has become the hub for Fresno nightlife. From elegant wine tasting at Pinot to music-blaring DJs at Laughing Buddha, there’s something for everyone here in Tower. In fact, if you are unsure about the nightlife that mostly suits your personality, just give them all a try. It’s easy and fun. All you have to do is park your car at one end of the street and make your way down the district. Each venue offers its own spin on the nightlife scene and finds their own way to stand out in the crowd. Soon enough you’ll find yourself lost in the Tower club scene and may have a difficult time realizing you’re still in Fresno. Tower District is the only area that can give you a taste of every night scene, whether it is calm and elegant or non-stop partying, it can be found on Olive Avenue and all within walking distance. Take a walk on the wild side and try something new, visit these places for a side of Fresno you’ve been missing out on:
Shopping in Tower District is similar to a treasure hunt… it takes time, but with time well spent you will hit the jackpot. The boutiques along Olive Avenue feature items that withhold personality and a sense of uniqueness, the type of style you won’t find at the mall. Here in Tower you have the freedom to wander and test the limits of fashion by purchasing items that take trendiness to another level. Whether you’re into thrifting or brand-new goods, the district combines the two and creates its own style. Only in Tower will you find that one-of-a-kind necklace or vintage handbag. Shopping in Tower is so worth it because when someone asks where you bought your clothing, you can confidently tell them, “I got it in Tower, but there was only one.” But no worries, the retail doesn’t stop at clothing. There are a number of shops that carry antiques, portraits, furniture and so much more. Walking down Olive Avenue is the perfect way to spend a day out with yourself or some friends. Next time you’re on the hunt for something that’s so “you,” take a drive down to Tower District and you’ll find it…after a little search, of course. Spend some time browsing in these shops, you won’t regret it:
