Located at 927 Industrial Way, The Spot is a taphouse and restaurant featuring taps, eats, and friendly community vibes. The restaurant is being opened by Misty Brown and her husband, Nathan Diaz, famous MMA fighter and professional boxer. The business is currently going through the permitting process and hopes to open in the next few months.

“We will feature 25 to 30 beer taps and different Lodi wines throughout the month. For now, we hope to begin with lunch and dinner services. Once everything is up and running, we want to add breakfast hours and a Sunday brunch program,” said Heather Bregman, Operations Manager at The Spot.

Sitting on the northeast corner of Industrial Way and Beckman Road, The Spot will add a much-needed local casual dining option to a neighborhood full of auto body shops, dealerships, manufacturers, and multiple motels, where the only food options are chained quick service destinations like Wendy’s and Taco Bell.
