Frequently Asked Questions

  • We are premier venue destination, housed within the beautifully revitalized Clark Theatre in the heart of Downtown Vacaville. Originally opened in 1926, this historic landmark now blends a coffee shop, full kitchen, upscale wine and whiskey bar, venue space, and performance theater — all under one roof.

    The Clark Theatre features a state-of-the-art sound system and can host up to 600 guests, making it a vibrant home for live music, performances, celebrations, and community events along Main Street.

    Just next door, the 1915 Carnegie Historic Library, lovingly known as The Library, has been thoughtfully transformed into an intimate wine and whiskey bar restaurant. Today, The Library is an active dining destination and a sought-after venue space for private rentals, tastings, and special gatherings, while preserving its historic charm.

    Since reopening in 2021, Journey Downtown and The Library have quickly become must-visit Vacaville destinations, welcoming touring artists, performers, and guests from across the United States while continuing to serve as a cultural hub for the local community.
