Why are people in Nevada City so happy? Some say it's the bed of quartz crystals that the Yuba river runs over, we think it's the community. The people make this town buzz and we want to give them a space to come together - the artists, the farmers, politicians, the kids, their parents and everyone in-between. ​Communal Cafe will be supporting these folks by displaying their art, selling their produce, creating space for events, and well we are open...

For more than 50 years, Sherwood Restaurant & Tavern has been part of the rhythm of historic downtown Nevada City — a place for dinner, music, wine, cocktails, celebrations, and nights that turn into memories.

For all of those years, the restaurant carried the name Friar Tuck's - a beloved institution in the Sierra Foothills that became part of the identity of Nevada City itself. The same building, the same kitchen ethos, the same live music Thursday through Saturday. The same owners. The same soul.

The rebrand to Sherwood reflects a new chapter—one that embraces both the heritage of the room and the way guests use it today. Catch every game on five HD screens, with the Forest Room available for playoff parties and other sports gatherings. Enjoy a rotating selection of craft beers on tap and a cocktail program done right.
