The State
Gastropub on Kew Avenue in the east of the city, out past Day Creek toward Etiwanda.
The State sits on Kew Avenue in the eastern end of Rancho Cucamonga, past Day Creek and into the newer Etiwanda side of the city.
That east-side location matters because almost everything else in the category is clustered at Victoria Gardens or along Foothill. A gastropub out here is serving the housing that has gone up around it rather than competing for the same Friday-night traffic.
Gastropub is doing the usual work in that description: a bar you can eat properly at, which in this city is the most useful format there is.
