In the heart of Old Town Roseville, Bar 101 Eats and Drinks offers a cozy sports bar and pub vibe. The bar’s 33 craft beer taps, its menu full of game-day classics, tacos, burgers and fish and chips, and its more than a dozen TVs scattered throughout makes it a great spot for a watch party.
Live music events, trivia nights and open mic nights are often advertised on the Bar 101 Instagram page.
Roseville watchdog reporter Nicole Buss highly recommends dining at the Old Town restaurant. Her dish of choice is the Hangover Burger ($20.95), which she described as “the weirdest thing I have ever enjoyed.”
“It is a burger with a fried egg, bacon and hash browns with American cheese on a toasted brioche bun,” Buss said. “It is actually perfection.”
Highland Noodles
Address: 1132 Galleria Blvd., Suite 100, Roseville
Hours: 11 a.m.-3 p.m. and 4 p.m.-9 p.m. daily

As the second outpost of the Milpitas-based noodle house, Highland Noodles has already gained a loyal customer base and nearly 5,000 social media followers in its six months running.
A window at the front of the restaurant allows diners to peer into the kitchen and watch a chef hand-pull each noodle dish to order at one of six thicknesses, from angel hair-like strands to 2-inch wide flat ribbons.
The noodles can be made into stir dishes with richly flavored sauces soaked up by the chewy base, or into soups with seasoned proteins or vegetables.
Though noodles are the restaurant’s specialty and namesake, its menu also hosts dozens of dim sum options, including dumplings, buns, soups and pancakes. On each table, sides of vinegar and chili oil are available to spice up dishes.
Service journalism editor Lauren Chapman said she appreciated the provided chili oil.
“The pork belly noodles ($16.99) should have been really heavy and dense,” Chapman said. “But the bok choy added some much needed freshness and the tableside chili oil complemented the rich broth.”

The owners of the neighboring Mia Restaurant launched an elegant Turkish and Greek concept just steps away from the Italian restaurant.
The cold and hot mezzes — appetizers — take center stage, though the selection of meat-based main dishes provide a brief look into some of the highlights of Mediterranean cuisine.
For a sampler of the most popular cold mezze dishes, Pera Mezze offers the chef mix mezze plate ($24), which comes with the eatery’s hummus, baba ganoush, two dolmades, a Cretan feta spread and muhammara. Substitutions for other mezzes — like the creamy lemony tzatziki — are accepted.
Pera Mezze’s classic hummus has a pure, chickpea-forward taste, while the muhammara dip is an explosion of warm roasted peppers with sweet walnuts. The dolmades include thin, tender grape leaves enveloping a sweet mixture of rice, pine nuts and herbs.
