Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 0.3 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Livermore instead of crossing town between them. Bankhead Theater is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Tap 25 — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to friends, solo, and couples who want a planned Livermore outing without improvising between stops.
