“Ate dinner with my husband and our toddler and had an amazing time. John was a great server and the food and drinks were awesome. Food was elevated but atmosphere was relaxed which was great.

Kid-friendliness: Good options on kid menu including pasta which our daughter loved. Our server put her order in early so we didn't have to deal with a hangry toddler.“

“Very nice spot inside the Citizens Hotel in Downtown Sacramento. We went when it wasn't busy and the food took a little while but it was still pretty good so I won't penalize them for the wait. The server was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive.“

“Creative yet very delicious food. From appetizers to main dishes all taste fresh and scrumptious! We didn’t have room for appetizers because they give big portions. Well worth the $! However the noise level is loud for me if you want to have good conversation.“

Plus, the food at the restaurant was top notch!“

“I had my 10 year high school reunion here last year and it was awesome.“

“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!!“

“cinders is a great little place used to be embers but no more of the lap dances just great atmosphere great people awesome drinks cold beers occasional catering new ownership definitely a place I'll come back to you over and over and over again I would give it a four at least and I'm not usually nice about the way things go but it is a nice place they've got pool tables they've got dart boards they've got entertainment occasionally and catering occasionally the owner Andy is awesome one of the better bartenders I've met through the years love this place I recommend it come on and sit down and have a good time with your friends no harsh garbage happening usually happy friendly people Good times“

“Fav Christmas bar to go to. The vibe of this place is awesome. Well decorated, drinks are solid for the price. I also like how they have their drinks in funny cups, ie a drink in a box. Their service is good too. This is my staple spot to go to during the holidays :-)“

“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.“

“Chad, Laura, and Sara create tasty mixed drinks in a hip, popping atmosphere filled with great tunes by local (and visiting) D.J.'s. Drop by for drinks, conversation, and fabulous music flowing!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access in front and back of building.“

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

“Very cool atmosphere but took almost an hour to get our drinks .“

“mid-town pool spot w/kool food & drinks ...“

“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!“

“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 ?“

“The drinks, views, food and service were amazing! We will definitely be back.“

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

“Nice relaxed place to stop for a beer. They always have something new on one or all of their 20 taps. Plus the other half of the place is a bottle shop where you can find limit release barrel aged beers, single cans and 4pks of your favorite IPAs.The staff is all very cool and knowledgeable. I'm hoping they bring back more beer events. Prior to the COVID Shutdowns, this was the place to be for beer events.“

“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"“

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

“Casual atmosphere , good menu from cafe bernardo“

“Still dreaming about the extra dirty martini and other drink I had at this awesome bar.
The views are excellent. The fire pit was glorious and the atmosphere was amazing!!
Plan to make this a normal part of your week routine.“

“🙂👍 Nesto does a great job!“

“This outdoor lounge area with bar is the perfect people watching spot at DOCO! I can have a quick cocktail before or after an event at Golden1 or hang for a while and relax in the sun. Picnic tables and rocking chairs and a place for the kiddos to run around. Brilliant idea for a bar!“

“fun place to get hammered.“

“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.“

“Tiger is the spot to be in town for the weekend. Good vibes and service.

Loved the Filipino fusion style food, but the take out boxes are a bit tacky and lower the standard.

The plating could be better and the rice needs a little more flavor, but other than that it was good!“

“Otoro Sushi in Sacramento is a top-notch spot for sushi lovers. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with a perfect blend of traditional and modern decor. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the Otoro Nigiri is a must-try. Friendly and attentive staff enhance the dining experience, and the prices are reasonable for the quality offered. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“fun place always never had a nad time here“

“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!“

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