Best Place to grab a drink in Davis?

[divasue.livejournal.com]

If I am meeting friends for drinks in Davis, where is the best place to go?  Atmosphere?  Crowd?  Price?

I felt inspired by the restaurant post below, and thought I might glean some information from people who have lived here longer than I have (only 5 months)...  Thanks!

Pretty much echoing what's been said here.

Redbones has the best and most eclectic beer selection in the area, a loud and fun atmosphere, and good soul food.

The bar at Gargoyle's is my favorite in the area for classic cocktails and creatively infused bourbons.

Diva Lounge is more problematic. I've had a few decent drinks there, but some terrible, ridiculously overpriced ones, too. I remember one that was simply a glass of straight unflavored vodka with a cinnamon stick in it -- for $12.
