Piju - Chino

Great booze at great prices with great wifi.I'm taking a break from the overcrowded coffee shops and taking my laptop to the bar. I got an incredible amount of work done and enjoyed some refreshment in the process.There are great specials every day and lots of food in the food court

The strawberry margarita is a little pale. On the other hand the beers cheap during happy hour. ‍

Piju Social Hour is a great spot located inside Cravings (by 99 Ranch) to enjoy a few beers, while your significant other or family member shops for groceries. If every grocery store had a small bar, I would certainly volunteer to accompany my wife more often. Piju has a small selection of draft beers, sake, and wine. On one occasion, Piju even had a popular IPA on special for $3.50, which is a great price. Occasionally, we also order food from one of the many interior restaurants, which is also convenient. They have two large TVs with sports and news. Shopping carts are not allowed inside the Piju area, but there is plenty of cart parking right outside the rail that separates it from the grocery portion of Cravings. The other thing I like about Piju is they have a TouchTunes machine that has thousands of sounds. I have yet to find a song that management has blocked from being played. This is an issue at other places that have TouchTunes machines. From time to time, it's entertaining to select unique songs and watch people's reactions. Regarding the service, it has always been good. When it's time to grocery shop at Cravings, you can find me at Piju!

Two TVs. Both playing Fox News. Not my kind of place. Sports? Fine. Some other (actual) news? Fine. Real Housewives of The Bachelorette's Big Brother? Fine. White nationalist propaganda? Not my idea of a happy hour.

The food court located inside this grocery store is cool with about 9 different food counters. BeLeaf better burgers food counter has amazing vegan burgers. The store section has lots of interesting food items that you wouldn't find in most regular grocery stores. The aisles don't have signs with which items are in each aisle so it takes a bit longer to find things, but the employees are kind and helpful.
