It\u2019s definitely worth stopping in, though, because the wood-timber building surrounded by sequoias and cypresses gives a distinctive Northern Californian feel.

Tank isn\u2019t for the faint-of-heart \u2013 the people there are known for sprinkling salty language around, but they sure provide a fun experience.
