Came here on a night out with my friend and I was surprised I hadn’t been here before! We came on a Saturday night and there was live music (and good music), lots of people enjoying the performance, and a great intimate atmosphere. The inside has dimmed lights, beautiful decor, and a good amount of booth, bar, and table seating. There is also outdoor seating but it is a bit limited. It was very busy the night we came but the bartender was nice and served my friend quick.
The energy of this place on a weekend night was great and I’ll have to come back to spend more time and try their various drinks and foods.

I went with my parents! We really enjoyed ourselves. Food and drinks were lovely and the air conditioning was FANTASTIC! Didn't feel the heat from outside at all. Our waitress was a sweetheart who rushed out to give us my Mom's seat cushion we forgot.

We went for lunch 1:30pm on a Tuesday to get some food and drinks. She gave us menus brought us waters and then NEVER came back … so after waiting 10-15 minutes we left! The place was dead, no one there so no excuses for this! The bartender/server was unresponsive and busy chatting it up with co-workers. I guess it’s a place for employees to get paid for doing absolutely nothing! Owners you need to fire your staff and find people that want to work or you will be out of business very soon. We won’t be back anytime in the future. Good luck! Menu was weak anyway like only 8 options of food. 0 beer on TAP! Went across to Ironhorse and got much better service, food and drinks! And they have tons of great beers on tap! Don’t waste you time on the LAZY LADY!

This place is always good. I go on Tuesdays when Vince is the bartender. When he makes the cocktail it is on a level unlike any other in Sacramento and many places I have visited honestly. He is the best bartender in town.

This bar is so wonderful. The atmosphere, drinks, and service are all perfect. I’ve been a bartender for a couple years and can totally acknowledge the effort the staff puts into making you feel welcomed. It’s amazing. If you want a perfect cocktail with a wonderful atmosphere, Shady Lady is the place. 10/10 recommend

Love the shady lady! The biscuits with smoked butter and bacon jam are a MUST, but be aware that they are teeny tiny little biscuits.

Love it here. The music was jazz, Food (Fried Green Tomatos) was excellent. Drinks were on point (Old Fashion)
Parking: Paid parking is really close to Shady Lady.
This place had a list of cocktails that was through the roof!! The atmosphere had a 1920s feel, architecture was beautiful to look at!! And the service was excellent!!Loved it and will return!!

If you're going out in Sacramento it's a "must visit". The Tri Tip Dip is to die for. Loved it!

Bartender really hated his job, making sure we knew it. When asked for one of their listed N/A cocktails, the response was "is that something on the list?" and when shown the list he let us know that "you can keep showing that to me, but it doesn't mean I know what it is".
Cool, dude.
$15 for a Last Word with Gordon's Gin.
I know this isn't the Shady it is supposed to be... Maybe it's time to reevaluate the staff.

I haven't tried their food yet but I must say that every bartender my boyfriend and I have met has been very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Low lighting ambiance, red lighting, comfortable seating and velvet look makes for a fancy experience.
Great spot but it’s little bit shady 😂
