The Scene:
Players is a frequent hang-out for Fresno State basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian, as witnessed by his sizable photo on the wall. Local athletes and coaches frequent the restaurant and enjoy time spent at the lounge. The television is always playing ESPN and a jukebox sits in the corner in case customers tire of hearing about sports. Monitors project security camera images from the parking lot to ensure customer safety, although most parking in the area is reasonably safe. The lounge also offers a patio where smoking is allowed. Must Have Drinks:
Corona, Anchor Steam.
