50 Best Bars near Fair Oaks

“WOW WOW WOW!!! Absolutely delicious food and great service! There were six of us and we all ordered something different off the menu and we tasted and shared everything and it was excellent…… I would not consider this to be pub food……. it is exceptional! I wish they would open one in El Dorado Hills!!!“

“💯 has the best bartenders.“

“Came in recently on a Sunday night. Atmosphere was cozy and fun. Many friendly locals come by it seems.

However, there was one customer that got too “friendly” with me. Luckily the bartender, “Coop” or “Cooper”, was kind enough to ask if I was okay and picked up on my gestures that I was uncomfortable. He made me feel safe and ensured I was okay while keeping the peace.

Other than that event, my drink was delicious and I had a great time chatting with other regulars. I’ll be sure to come back!“

“We haven’t been to Chili’s in a few years but decided to drop in for an early dinner today. What awesome friendly and fast service! This was the best service we have had anywhere in recent months. Thanks to Ashley, our server, as well as the others.“

“Great neighborhood bar with a very nice bourbon selection.“

“A true corner bar and restaurant, El Balcon has a great variety of both liquor and foods. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, just go and order your food at the small counter, grab a number and find a place to have your food brought out to you.

They have a nice self-serve chips and salsa bar where you can try out a wide variety of sauces. We ordered the grande Nachos - which are an entire meal, and I got the Pina Loca - which is pineapple cut in half, with a bisteak layer, and then topped up with a seafood (shrimp, octopus, crab sticks, and maybe scallops) smothered in melted cheese and some sauce (maybe mayonnaise) which was absolutely delicious. Never seen anything like it before which is why I decided to give it a try.

The woman at the counter also recommended their Birria tacos which are only made on the weekends, but I had to go with the pineapple this time.

Overall the service was extraordinarily friendly and the food came out quickly. My friend tells me their Tequila selection is excellent. Highly recommended!“

“Relaxed atmosphere and good food and drinks.“

“The outdoor patio was a good option on a busy night--even though it was a warm day, the patio was pleasant and shaded (& quieter than indoors for sure).
The fajita, although decent in basic flavor and good on protein quanity, seemed like a cheat by use of a warmed serving skillet rather than a sizzling one (it was like it was prepped on a flattop then served on the new-looking cast-iron skillet.
Service faded after meal delivery with empty glasses reminders needed several times.“

“Great selection, knowledgeable friendly staff awesome local spot for craft beer“

“Wifey and I went here for dinner and some wine this past Friday. Was absolutely delicious and fantastic service. We met all three of the family and were super friendly. Great wine list as well. Highly recommend!!!“

“YES!!! Fantastic place!!! I had to find a new spot when and called HD - spoke with an employee who told me about the vibe and answered my questions. I went in that night with a colleague to check it out, LOVED it & have been back several times since. The owner is Jason, fantastic customer service, great whiskey, excellent drinks - thank you!!!“

“This place Rocks and so do all the employees and owners! 🎸🎸🎸“

“Great local craft beer taproom with delicious burgers and bar food.“

“I always have a good time at Cap Tap. I love to see what VHS is playing and what's on their heavily rotating tap list. There's always something I want to drink and the can selection is always fresh.

This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion.“

“Anna was are server. We came in for apps and drinks food was really good, it wasn’t your typical greasy bar food it was actually very flavorful. She recommended some drinks that were super good, they are now my new favorite. Great service.“

“The restaurant had a relaxing and upbeat atmosphere. The food was flavorful with good portion sizes. And our waitress - whose name I unfortunately did not catch - was thoughtful, friendly, and hospitable; which is rare these days. The Napoleon with Armenian coffee was the perfect way to end the evening.“

“Good atmosphere and friendly people and bartenders“

“Great little dive bar. Wonderful bartenders, good people, darts, shuffleboard, jukebox, and two pool tables, as well as dice if you want to play a dice game. Thursday night pool tourneys, sign ups at 6:30, starts at 7. The owner and bartenders frequently have events with food or snacks, and the patrons bring things sometimes as well.“

“Great place! Very friendly community!“

“I had the pleasure of singing karaoke with Quinn's Entertainment. First time meeting the amazing Quinn and I just happen to know Wolf over the years. The quality of their sound system, and music selection and thier show presentation was by far the best I've experienced if had. I've been singing karaoke in the greater sacred area since 1994. I'll be back to sing again!“

“Lots of fun activities and a really nice community of people.“

“Great new establishment in Folsom. Fun and light atmosphere with great and knowledgeable servers and bartenders. We had a great time, definitely will be back.“

“The best bartenders, the weekend bartender is the best and the clientele is nice“

“All bartenders here are very professional, friendly and attentive. They tolerate my nonsense..and remember my name! Cory is a legend, Steve is awesome, Michele rocks, and Jessica is excellent. The vibe here is dynamic, changing with the customer demographic throughout the day(they open early), but it is always fine. I see some reviews complaining about minor(trifling), issues..but thats not been my experience.
To serve such a varied clientele, all day, every day, this place nails it!
I would recommend it!🍻🎱🎯“

“Highly recommend this place! Food was delicious and service was amazing. Great beer, seafood and steak! 🫶 we loved it 👍“

“racist paid cash and left a generous tip owner refused to let us leave. treating us almost like criminals only based on our skin color. very disappointing and sad.“

“friendly staff. good food. always enjoy my time there“

“Always a good experience when I go food is always good service is friendly. I went in on 7/31/2026 around 1 pm. I normally come later, I’m being specific about the date and time for who was working. I ordered hot wings extra crispy…I was hungry, they did come out pretty fast which should of been the first sign, like I said I was hungry and kinda pressed for time… I don’t know if the server remembered to tell the cook, but they were definitely not extra crispy if even cooked all the way. My stomach is bubbling a little as I type 😅 the wings are pretty big so they need at least 12 mins even longer for extra crispy. Whoever was the cook needs to realize that. Next time let get it right. Thanks“

“Warm greetings from the time we walked into the door. The hosts were very lively.

Colton was our server for lunch. He was very tentative, very helpful and made sure our drinks never went unfilled. Our family of 5 is very pleased with our experience.

The manager Justin even came out and made sure we had a great experience which was a very nice touch. We will definitely be coming back to this location. Very clean environment. Bathrooms were well kept, quality of food was fresh and hot.“

“Let me just say this is the best bottle shop in town! Great selection of bourbon! On top of that they have a wonderful beer selection in the tap room! Great staff always with a smile! fresh popcorn which is free is being made every-time I come in love the smell and the vibez! Don’t listen to the haters. Coke stop by and see for yourself!“

“Fun little Sacramento joint. Doesn’t get enough love.“

“The pig is just a fun bar with Great karaoke on Friday, Sunday and Monday along with great service every day. Happy hour starts at nine and I happen to like PBR, which is only two dollars. They also have a fun dice game or all the die and get a two dollar shot. Yep, it’s fun!“

“Great Food! Love the music! Triangulight Loves playing music here too!“

“Great bar! Fun atmosphere with great bartenders!!pool..darts..music..karaoke..“

“Every night since i moved away from Roseville... I am haunted by the chili verde burrito and the table salsa. NOBODY else does a burrito like they do, and if you eat here, you will forever be cursed with the hunger. Ive had countless nights where i wake up screaming because i know in my soul I dont have access to Carmelitas anymore. This review is based on the last time i had the ability to eat there, 2010-2014. God has forsaken me. There must be no more room in hell, as the Devil walks on earth to torment my soul since 2015. Also the salsa is a top 5 all timers of california. not really spicy but heavy of the flavor. It'll make your local taco truck commit seppuku. As will i shortly as ive dishonored my bloodline by not being able to move back, therefore never being able to bless my children with this life changing burrito. I dont deserve their forgiveness.“

“This is your good ol reliable neighborhood dive bar. They do not serve food but allow you to bring in a snack to munch on (Little Ceasars is next door). Friday nights are great with a DJ who plays a variety of popular music including old school and the current popular music. The crowd is extremely diverse in age and cultures. I have never witnessed an issue or confrontation in this bar but they do have a security person checking IDs. Bartenders are friendly and the drinks are not weak or expensive. You feel like family when you come to this bar as the patrons are super welcoming and friendly. If you just want a chill and super casual vibe, some good music, and an adult beverage, this is definitely the place. See you there! :)“

“Awesome Place Very Friendly“
