50 Best Bars in Sacramento

“Food was yummy! Great atmosphere! Easy parking for the area. Service at the bar was nice, attentive, fun watching the craft drinks be made why we ordered different courses to share:) Didn’t leave room for dessert lol“

“With the unique deçor, two different patios as well as ample seating inside, there is plenty of room for a quiet lunch or a large gathering of friends.
Beside the laid back ambiance, the service is friendly and accommodating.
We dined late on a Saturday afternoon.
The back patio was beautiful shaded and quite comfortable.
The unique menu offered a variety of high quality dishes, bursting with flavor and beautifully prepared.
This was a delightful experience.“

“We had the fried artichokes and the Burratta with figs and tomatoes for appetizers. And the vegetarian risotto, pork tenderloin and tuna for main courses. The portions were smaller than I expected, but really ideal in size. I did not finish my main course. And the sticky toffy pudding and peanut butter tart were a delicious end to our meal. The service was very attentive and we had constant refills of our drinks and other attention from servers. Great ambiance and not too noisy.“

“Such a cool place!! Unique and definitely worth checking out! Great food and service.“

“I had to have a very serious spinal operation at Sutter Medical that required us to have an 11 day stay. I cannot thank the staff enough for their compassion and kindness. They genuinely wanted to make sure that my room was clean and I had everything that I needed. It meant the world to me. The front desk staff and housekeeping went above and beyond! Plus, the food at the restaurant was top notch!“

“Was looking for a bar and bottle shop and found it! Have taps/bar on one side and coolers of cans on the other—can grab a can/pint and hang out with friends! They also had 4 different gluten free beers (GF) on hand to try from Ghostfish, Ground Breaker and Buck Wild. Also had some good merch on sale. Hung out for a few hours and had a blast!“

“Was there 12/2/2023. Went there for lunch and boy was it great. Beer was cold and the wine was very good. The wife had Banngers and Mash. I was outstanding, and i had the fish and chips. The fish was outstanding but the batter that was on it was just to much. The chips were very good. This was the second time there and we will be back!!“

“Excellent wine, fun people..enviro friendly!! What more do you need!! As a glass artist seeing another local business that has taken to keeping glass out of the landfill well my heart melts!! Keep up the amazing work and wine!! ❤️❤️🍷🍷🥰“

“I am new to Sacramento, and I LOVE that I found this this GEM dive bar! I met with my friend before the Erykah Badu concert and could not have been more pleased with EVERYTHING. Drinks are great and NOT overpriced. Door man is AMAZING. No food served, but places around deliver. Juke box and local art on the walls, the vibe I LOVE.“

“I absolutely love B-Side! It’s totally my kind of place and always a hella great time! This has been my favorite bar, hands down (coming from a Sac native), since I started going there at least half a dozen years ago! Keep doing what you’re doing cos y’all got it on point AF! Thank you B-Side!!! 💯🧡🙌🏽🙏🏽“

“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!“

“🙂👍 Nesto does a great job!“

“so much fun!! and it's a neighborhood club and it's NOT PRETINOIUS“

“Zach J gave me a fantastic haircut this morning. I showed him a picture of what I was going for and he gave me exactly what I wanted. Even a little better. He was also super friendly and professional. I’ll definitely be coming back next time…. Maybe a little later when I can enjoy the drinks and food too!

Highly recommend this joint. If you’re getting a haircut, ask for Zach J.“

“Casual atmosphere , good menu from cafe bernardo“

“Oh !!!! Ok !!! I see you ! ? This is a very cool place for older black folks ? please don't take it personal, because that's just exactly what it is.... A hang out spot for older black men and women; looking for a hook up ? the dress code is very basic, and the cocktails are "dranks" too strong to "drink" ? and enjoy!!! Now.... the question is, would I go back again?uuuuh ooommm? probably. Why? Because some of girls would like to go, and still the show ?“

“Everything from food to drink, staff and owners are the best. I love coming for afternoon drink, karaoke, dancing and sunday brunch.“

“When I first went to Fire Taproom, I was truly amazed. The atmosphere, including the workers, were extremely friendly. The food I ordered (the Classic Burger) was absolutely delicious. My kids ordered the Chicken Tenders and wouldn't stop telling me about how much they loved it. My husband ordered the FTR Chicken Sandwich and really liked it. The fries were also amazingly seasoned, unlike any other restaurant I have been to before. The place was truly amazing, and I can't wait to come again.“

“The burgers and side portions are large and very tasty, good selection of beer. I’ve lived in the area for 43 years and visit a couple times a year, however not sure if I’ll be going back, $75 for my wife and I to have burgers and a beer is a little ridiculous. Burgers and Brew on R St, has Niman Ranch Beef and the bacon jalapeño burgers are $3.50 less than a regular burger at Dukes. I want to support local but $21 burgers and $10 beers….not the go to.“

“Haven't been here for a long time. Great as a rendezvous spot to meet up with friends. Had a tough time finding where to park, but that's because God forgot to hook up that side of my brain up. Parking is down the side street and then behind the building. Plenty of open parking there!“

“The Mushroom lounge is what some might call the definition of a "dive bar". Usually nothing but locals and a sprinkle of new folks. Bartenders are knowledgeable of different drinks, however most people just have beer or Jameson whiskey shots. Two pool tables with usually serious pool players who will gladly help a new player understand the game and whatnot. Fridays and Saturdays karaoke is jammin!! To finish up I'll quote singer Toby Keith "I love this bar"“

“There's a full restaurant attached downstairs, it is a tad small of a footprint for a club. People are friendly, just sort of enclosed. If you like close quarters with the feel of a rooftop lounge then it's for you. Plenty of seating, somewhere I would like to sit and converse.“

“Great place. Whoever said the owners are trying to make this into a "black place" lol. Clearly not. But even if it was. What does it matter? Wether it's black,white,purple, green, yellow....you get where I'm going..? Anyway. I recommend checking it out.“

“Great live music venue- open mic 🎤 on Mondays 7p“

“tonight the club was jumpin. music good food and drinks dancing all night. having a ball nice place to enjoy yourself highly recommend“

“Love the 49ers paint job on the exterior of the building. Felicia is a firecracker of entertainment from behind the bar. Most of all the place is always a very clean and smoothly ran establishment my koodoos to the managers and owners.

Parking: Plenty of parking for everyone.“

“fun place to get hammered.“

“Best go-to spot, open until 2am everyday!“
