The Library at Detention

Fresno's only true Prohibition-era speakeasy, hidden inside Detention Billiards in the Tower District. Access requires a reservation, a password, and entering through locker #3 — a secret door behind the pool hall. Upstairs you'll find craft cocktails made with fresh local produce, handcrafted mixers, and high-end spirits in an intimate, dimly lit space built for presence over performance. Dress code enforced: business casual minimum, no t-shirts or ball caps.
