My favorite little dive in Sac! Great place to bring friends and just hang out. Inexpensive. Love it here.

(Edit: Soon after the writing of this review, in what can only be described as an act of culinary terrorism, Elixir Bar and Grill changed their chicken wing recipe. These new wings are offensive on their own merits and when one tries to compare them with the uniquely perfect wings that they replaced one is left sad and hurt and empty.)Dearest Reader,Please believe me when I say this; I'm not normally a dramatic man. Never before in my life have I felt inspired to write a review for anything and I’m pretty sure that approximately one hundred percent of people who do regularly write reviews are narcissists and sociopaths and also probably serial killers.But here we are.I should tell you that I have spent my life treating all food-stuffs with the indifference and aggravation of someone who lacks the proper number of taste buds. You likely will not be surprised to find that this was quite hard on me growing up. The other kids at school would tease me and call me clever names like, “No Taste Tay” and “Palate-less Pope” all while cruelly throwing decadent desserts at me which they knew I could neither fully appreciate nor enjoy.Upon reaching manhood and in a pure and desperate desire to be normal, I set out upon a quest to find a food, any food, that could elicit some sort of positive reaction and cure me of my brokenness. I travelled from country to country, eating every single manner of street food, dining at the most lauded of Michelin rated restaurants, and even once debased myself by entering a county fair; all to no avail. It seemed certain that I, on a very basic and fundamental food-based level, was destined to walk this life without ever understanding what it was like to be human. I had truly lost all hope.However, it was here, dear reader, here in this my very darkest of hours and just as my head slipped beneath the surface of resigned tastelessness, that I looked up and saw a single solitary light. A light which beckoned me to come out of the cold waters and bask in its spicy warmth and flavorful glow. A light which lacked judgement and pretense and drama and pain and bigotry and anxiety and overly complicated sauces. A light which, by all accounts, should not even exist but doesn’t much care and continues to exist anyways. A light which has succeeded in making me finally complete.A light which is actually a pretty good metaphor for Elixir Bar and Grill’s salt and pepper chicken wings.

Limited beer selection, reasonable prices, food was good, be careful with the drinks they pour them pretty stiff.

Bartender was so nice and she deserves sooo much money and to be paid $50/hr. In my opinion.

Yes a hole in the wall but in need of a lot of cleaning in the bathroom and all I ordered was orange juice and cranberry and I think the orange juice was gray to Black
Bonnie Geo
Great drinks. Lots of regulars but bartenders and owners treat even new comers like family.
Hamburgers are ridiculously good. Very simple and executed perfectly.Obviously beer is good and cold too

This place hasn’t changed much since 2016, and I really appreciate that. Great prices, really good bar food, friendly unpretentious employees, and solid music blasting. Where one can either start or end the night, if that makes sense.I thought it was really funny this most recent time at this spot, we overheard some guy who came straight from Ace hitting on the bartender, saying how he used to come here years ago and asked if she knew so and so (name drop). She did not. Don’t hit on your bartender.
