There ’ s Nothing To Do In Downtown Gilroy ???
We missed the memo ! So one Friday night we decided to take a walk downtown and this is what we found :
At The Milias Restaurant , singer , songwriter Neva travels up and down the Pacific coast and every now and then , brings her creative energy to The Milias Restaurant .
Calm at Bella Viva Ristorante Here there are friendly conversations , good wine and the player piano in a marvelous wine bar setting with food service from Garlic City Café .
Hot Fuse at Station 55 Bar & Grill A fun dance band plays a wide variety of dance music from the 1960 ’ s to the present .
JJ Hawg at Old City Hall James Avena , Junior Diaz and John Michael are local favorites and know how to get people up and moving .
