The Back Door, also known as the Back Door Lounge, is a classic Old Town Sacramento spot. It is a cash-only, 21 and over establishment with a friendly and casual atmosphere. The interior is dimly lit with comfortable seating, wrought iron railings, and a jukebox that adds to its character. The bar offers a variety of drinks, including strong cocktails prepared by attentive staff, and has pool tables and sport TV for entertainment. The vibe is low-key, making it a great place to beat the heat, shoot pool, or relax with friends. The staff, including bartenders and chefs, are known for being friendly and welcoming. They are happy to explain the menu and make your favorite drinks. One popular dish is the Linguisa Sandwich, which is well-received. Entry requires proof of vaccination, and identification is checked at the door. Prices are reasonable, with a Linguisa Sandwich and a drink costing around $6.80 with tax. The bar has a few posted rules, like "Do Not Yell At The Bartender! They Are Trying Hard To Pour Your Drinks!" and "The Bartender Is Always Right!" Overall, The Back Door is a friendly, authentic dive bar with strong drinks and delicious food options, perfect for those looking for a cozy place with character.
