Lincoln’s best bar food isn't a secret anymore

Spring is definitely making its presence felt, and with the Easter events starting to trickle in, it feels like the season is officially here. This week features everything from Highland cows in bunny ears to succulent design classes at local farms.

If you’re more into the night scene, the tribute shows and 80s bingo nights are looking like a blast. We’re also keeping an eye on the local real estate scene for anyone looking to make a move without the usual stress. Whatever you’re up to, we hope you enjoy the fresh air and the local vibes.

Lincoln has been quietly sitting on a gem. Brick & Barrel Kitchen + Bar on Joiner Parkway is the kind of neighborhood spot that earns serious loyalty, and the food is a big reason why.

The Cali Club on a pretzel bun, the Not Yo Tots, and the Rodeo BBQ Pizza with onion rings piled right on top are the kind of menu moves that make you rethink bar food entirely. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, and the adult Root Beer Float is exactly as fun as it sounds.

Bliss Market in Roseville runs on the kind of energy that's hard to manufacture. More than 133 local vendors fill the aisles with antiques, handmade jewelry, collectibles, vintage clothing, and home goods, each booth curated differently.

Shoppers come in hunting for one thing and regularly walk out with something they'd never seen before. Staff are genuinely warm without being hovery.

The Gist: The Placer SPCA held its annual Guardian Angel Gala on March 6 in Roseville, honoring four standout community heroes. Honorees included volunteer pilot Jerry Wagner, who has flown nearly 200 shelter dogs to safety, and Lee Thunder, who spends his free time rescuing cats from trees. Toast, a one-year-old crisis canine with the Placer County DA's Office, has already supported 85 families since July 2025.

Why It Matters: These volunteers and animals are quietly making Placer County safer and more compassionate for people and pets alike.

The Gist: Civil engineer Mark Kobrya almost spent his LA vacation at the beach. Instead, he ended up on national TV walking away with a Caribbean trip, a 2025 Hyundai Venue, and almost $40,000 in prizes after a last-minute decision to attend a "Price is Right" taping in October. He kept the win secret for five months to avoid forfeiting the prizes.

Why It Matters: Kobrya's episode aired March 6 and quickly went viral on Reddit's r/Sacramento forum, putting Roseville in the spotlight.
