Nightlife in Rancho Cucamonga is modest but not absent. Victoria Gardens has a handful of bars and wine lounges that animate on Friday and Saturday evenings. The Cucamonga Valley wine heritage occasionally surfaces in the form of tasting rooms — a few small producers operate retail counters along Foothill Boulevard and in the Guasti area nearby.
Craft beer is the most active sector; several taprooms have opened in the city's light-industrial zones. Foothill Boulevard has a scattering of older cocktail lounges and sports bars that have been there for decades.
