Formerly known as El Dorado Brewing, they changed their name in 1996 to avoid confusion with the El Dorado microbrewery of Mt.Aukum CA. Don't miss the Indian Red Ale, named for the bike that adorns the middle of the bar. Be sure to read the sad story of the original El Dorado Brewing Company on the menu.
Directions: Valley is on Adams Street, one-half block east of Pacific. Adams Street isn't far from the south end of Pacific...that's about as specific as I can get. (It had been a long day.)
