Spoontonic lounge is the best kept secret in Walnut Creek. You'll probably drive past it four or five times before realizing that it's not visible from Main Street (it's hidden on an alley behind Saroor, an Indian restaurant). It's a great local hang out, bartender is also the owner and he's very chill. Great music, great drinks friendly people and if you get there early enough you can get a seat at the bar.

What really makes this bar different is the activities they offer while drinking. At the bar, they have cards and dice and then on their side patio they have corn hole, shuffle board, giant Jenna and giant connect 4. They currently have plans to remodel their back area into a biergarten but for now it's blocked off by a projector screen on which they play old movies. They also have several large flat screens placed around the bar for those who want to watch a game, no sound though.
