Rigby’s Roadhouse

Rigby's Roadhouse in Livermore is the closest thing these mountains have to a “Cheers.” Family-owned, opened in April 2024 by Rick and Jami at Gordon Creek RV Park, it became the local gathering spot fast. You will likely be met in the parking lot by Rigby the dog, the restaurant's namesake, before you get through the door. The menu is mountain comfort: Rick's green chili, smash burgers, and the best smoked wings on the mountain, plus chili rellenos and soft-serve, with a sprawling patio and the views that come with it. The week has its own rhythm — trivia on Thursday, games on Friday, live music every Saturday from 7pm.
