CarmelBarre is a nurturing, friendly environment. Classes are lively, fun, and non-competitive, and instructors strive to get to know their students and encourage them to reach their personal best. You don’t have to be in shape to start taking classes here! During classes, instructors make hands-on corrections so that students have the proper form and are working the right muscles in each of the exercises. Instructors don’t participate in the class - they teach and pay attention to details, giving individual attention to each student.

Nice tats Courtney & Jason! Anyone want to top this? JUST KIDDING! Don't run out and get water tower tattoos (unless you ask you parents first... even if you're like 30+ years old).

The City of Campbell's Summer Concert Series is in full swing and this week's performers are the crowd favorites, the Cocktail Monkeys, returning again by popular demand. It's easy to see why they're so popular. They put on quite a show and nail pop performances from a range of eras. Here's a short medley of some songs they covered in their appearance last year.

Shows are on Thursdays at 6pm throughout the summer at the Orchard City Green (in front of the Ainsley House in Downtown Campbell).

If you haven't heard, the Michelin Guide recommended, Liquid Bread Gastropub, closed its doors on Sunday, June 25th after a last hurrah to celebrate five great years and thank their staff for all the work they put into making it five glorious years of beer inspired cuisine in Downtown Campbell. The head chef, John Burke, will be moving on and making guest stints at various restaurants around the Bay Area.

The restaurant will close, but only for a short period before it gets a reboot under the same ownership. Stay tuned as to just what the next act to follow in the footsteps of Liquid Bread Gastropub and that amazing Bearnaise Burger.

Bitter sweet! Last Bearnaise Burgers on the grill and @caballoanejo last day! #bittersweet #thanksforeverythingsteve #liquidbread #downtowncampbell #dipsomania
