• Speakeasy • Clovis
Booked 26 times today
Hidden in plain sight, The Farmer & The Bootlegger is Clovis’ secret speakeasy—a whisper of the past where craftsmanship, connection, and quiet rebellion meet. When the world went dry, local farmer Finn Pollasky and the daring Barbara von Lichtenfeld built a refuge the law couldn’t touch: a place for joy, warmth, and a little mischief. He brought the grit of the valley; she brought the glamour of old Europe. Together, they turned a dusty alley into a haven where laughter spilled freely, and the night stretched long. Step through and into their legacy—where you’ll find handcrafted cocktails, warm conversation, and an atmosphere that feels both secret and familiar. Every pour honors the art of doing things right—and the enduring spirit of Clovis, where the past still lingers in every glass and the promise of another story waits just beyond the next toast.

    My 18 year-old was impressed with the personalized menu. I liked the fact that the plates were hot and everything came in a timely manner. We even had seconds on bread . Our server Naomi and the rest of the crew were professional and welcoming.  We felt everybody went above and beyond.  Ruth’s Chris is my daughter’s favorite steakhouse.
