Post Hike Happy Hour(s)

Enjoy Food and Drinks in Downtown Concord

05.02.2019

Where can you find Mount Diablo’s best post-hike Happy Hour? Todos Santos Plaza in the heart of downtown Concord has 2.5 acres of gorgeous green park with picnic tables, benches, and a medley of trees—along with surrounding restaurants offering al fresco dining, plus coffee shops, and other stores.

Named one of three Great Places in California by the American Planning Association, Todos is a great go-to for food and drinks after a classic hike or waterside bike ride. Dine at one of the restaurants, or kick back with a picnic on its spacious green lawn.
