Why 226 F Street
This is more than just a lease—it’s a launchpad. 226 F Street offers a rare, true second-generation restaurant and bar space in the absolute heart of Downtown Davis. Already outfitted with a full suite of restaurant infrastructure, the property allows an experienced operator to step in and activate quickly, saving months of construction delays and six-figure buildout costs.
The ±7,373 SF single-story layout, paired with the largest patio in town (±2,500 SF), creates unmatched indoor/outdoor dining opportunities that few operators ever get access to. Whether your vision is a high-energy bar, a chef-driven restaurant, or a hybrid concept, the footprint supports scale and flexibility.
Just steps from UC Davis—with over 41,000 students and 2,500+ faculty—the property benefits from a steady flow of daytime demand and a built-in nightlife audience. Add to that the nationally recognized Davis Farmers Market, which draws thousands weekly, and you have a corner that delivers both consistency and destination appeal.
In Davis, restaurants aren’t just businesses—they’re part of the culture and community fabric. At 226 F Street, you’re not starting from scratch. You’re stepping into a proven, turnkey foundation that lets you focus on what matters most: building your brand, connecting with guests, and capturing a market where dining out is both habit and tradition
