(Tasted 09/01/21 WE @ 3:30pm): This was a good vice to have but please keep the fires away from already-charred California! I came about to Fire & Vice as I killed time tasting beer next door at Enegren Brewing Co. Sadly, the brewery had no available shelled peanuts, snacks, or even a food truck like most breweries. Thankfully, the friendly male beertender pointed out Fire & Vice literally across the alley where they apparently shared a symbiotic business relationship. Would this combination of fire and vice be a good idea!? PURCHASE Cheese Curds w/Pineapple and Maui Onion Dipping Sauces ($7.95): I truly loved fried cheese, and if they gave off a squeak when you bit into it even better! Well... some of these pieces offered that which was a treat, and the two Hawaiian-inspired dipping sauces were tropically tasty and would've bought a small jar of each if they sold them. Cheers to fried cheese yelp.com/user_local_phot…! The Goat Specialty 12" Pizza ($14.95): A collection of buckboard bacon, figs, goat and mozzarella cheeses, and green onions all on a mildly-thin yet airy chewy crust, this pizza was a wonderful revelation when you had an explosively sweet fig paired with the salty goodness of the bacon bits then the milky sweetness of the goat cheese alongside the crispy green onions bookended by the conduit of a cloudlike crust... and this was only the first bite! Bravo for whomever came up with this creation yelp.com/user_local_phot…! SERVICE Greeted by two effervescent young ladies (I placed two separate orders), the process went quick and easy. And each time, my food order arrived at my table at the brewery in less than five minutes like they were already cooked and ready to be delivered! I was very impressed by the speed and happiness of each staff member I dealt with - kudos to everyone! PARKING (FREE) They shared a middle-sized parking area with a handful of other businesses at a collection called The Alley. Otherwise, it seemed there were plenty of free parking spots along all the surrounding streets in this industrial park - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A relatively small storefront which I believed had no inside dining/seating area although there were several benches, chairs, and tables socially distanced outside in the adjoining alley. The interior reminded me of a mashup coffee shop (Coffee Republic), food truck, museum gift shop, and farmers market yelp.com/user_local_phot…. At the order counter was a concise simple menu which was nearly perfect as brewery food. Plenty of natural light entered through the large glass walls and doors that led into the alley while an assortment of electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I didn't notice any TVs and couldn't recall any background music since I was still tuned into the brewery's music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Fire & Vice was literally a find down an alley and pleasantly surprised the heck out of me! The food I ate was "on fire" and would love to try the other items on the menu such as a burger, salad, sausage, or even another pizza yelp.com/user_local_phot…. Maybe another trip will be in play since there was a wine tasting room also at the Alley (sorry Enegren Brewing Co.). The prices and service were also a hit with me. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $25.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...
