Facebook - Livermore Downtown Twitter - twitter.com/livedowntown Instagram - Livermore Downtown LivermoreDowntown.com Welcome to The Livermore Valley * Live, Shop, Play, Dine & Stay Dining Livermore’s Downtown Restaurants provide an eclectic culinary experience that is globally inspired and locally enhanced. Whether you are seeking traditional Paella, stuffed bacon wrapped dates, bubbling fondue or an amped up hot dog, there is an attraction for every palate. Some restaurants offer a foodie knowledge that is usually associated with stuffiness and formality. Not in Livermore! Casual comfort and diverse menus make downtown accessible to all. There is an overwhelming excitement amongst the local family ownership when you enter these establishments. You are not a stranger for long. You leave feeling like you have just become a part of the family! Shopping “Shop Local” is not just messaging for consumers to commit to when they are in their own home towns. It really is a preferred value in keeping America strong and working. But that sounds way too “Political Economics.” The truth is, Specialty Boutique Shopping provides you with uniqueness both in product and experience. It is a treasure hunt of items, handpicked by shop owners that want to bring one of a kind offerings to their consumers. This sets themselves apart from the big box retailers with mass produced goods. Downtown Livermore shop owners take that seriously. Local art, local culinary products, local wines and local jewelry will be discovered as you stroll the shops. From toy stores to fashion, special is definitely present in Downtown Livermore Specialty Boutiques! Live Entertainment Within a six block area of Livermore’s Downtown there are 19 locations offering live entertainment. Classic Rock, Jazz, Blues, Acoustic, Alternative, Opera, Country, Theater Productions…. The options are endless. Sit a spell and enjoy and then move on to the next! You can spend an entire evening sampling the talent of the East Bay at these multiple venues. Do you prefer an intimate lounge or a rocking garden patio? They have it all. And if you’d rather take in a film, Downtown Livermore has the state of the art, Livermore Cinema 13 Screen Movie Theater with all of the latest releases on one end of the Downtown and the two Screen Vine Cinema and Alehouse on the other. You can sit on a comfy couch, sip a local wine, eat popcorn from the Cinema Snack Bar and order an amazing meal off the menu of their neighbor, Zephyr Grill and Bar. The Vine showcases Classics, Independents and Art Films. Wine, Beer and Cocktails Livermore’s Downtown is in Livermore Valley Wine Country, which boasts over 50 award-winning wineries. The best of the Valley is showcased throughout our restaurants. There is great pride in the history of our wineries themselves dating back to the 1840’s and it is not unusual to see the current generation of these wine making families hanging out in Downtown sipping one of their creations. *Notable Firsts - Wente Vineyards is the country’s oldest, continuously operated family-owned winery founded 130 years ago. Wente Vineyards released the nation’s first varietally labeled Chardonnay, a 1936 vintage and is also known as “California’s First Family of Chardonnay™”. Concannon Vineyards produced America’s First Petite Sirah in 1961 and are the pioneers for the famous “Concannon Clones 7, 8 & 11” which are the backbone to California Cabernet Sauvignon and are replanted in many of prestigious California vineyards. Livermore is Beer Country too! Tap Rooms and Alehouses offer great selections of craft brews from the San Francisco Bay Area. Not to mention Livermore’s very own Altamont Beer Works, Working Man Brewery and Eight Bridges Brewery. All providing premium beer quality that stands up tall next to the premium wines of the Valley. Sometimes the evening calls for a cocktail. Our Livermore bartenders are true mixology masters. Each restaurant and bar has their specialty cocktail list and just when you think you have seen it all, a new creation arrives that has you finding a new favorite! Family Time Kids are Downtowners too. You can have a marathon day of shopping at our two locally owned toy stores, watching the latest blockbuster film, hitting the bowling alley or trying out an indoor skateboard ramp. On those sunny summer days, cool off by playing in our interactive fountain! Our restaurants are all family friendly. Whether yours are picky eaters or culinary adventurers, they are sure to find a favorite eatery! The Arts are alive in Downtown Livermore and children of all ages can take classes and workshops at our Downtown studios to discover their talents and grow into the masters of the future.

W B E K 29 Arts, Culture & Entertainment Livermore School of Dance 1988 Second Street 925-245-9322 livermoredance.com In 2004 we started living our dream and began the adventurous task of owning and operating a dance studio in Livermore, California. We had spent a year developing our mission, planning our class schedule and seasonal performances, and creating a place where dancers of all ages could come and dance and feel great about themselves while doing it. It has always been our primary goal to build self-confidence in all our dancers while teaching them proper technique in a safe and comforting environment. Each time a 30 dancer walks out the studio door, we hope they have a smile on their face. We offer classes for dancers ages 2 ½ through adult from the beginning through advanced levels in ballet, pointe, floor barre with Pilates, classical jazz, contemporary, lyrical, hip hop, musical theater, tap, tumbling, Zumba, creative combo, and creative movement. We are still living our dream and hope our dancers feel they are accomplishing the same.
