While visiting friends in Sacramento, I was taken on an unplanned adventure of some notable…read morecocktail bars. A favorite of theirs is The Snug; they thought we wouldn't be able to get in but thanks to a concert nearby they had free tables. It's primarily a cocktail bar, but I stuck with a beer. The decor is an awesome mix of contemporary, brick, old west, and 20s. It was a happy clientele too, with what seemed like a younger post-workday crowd. The server was also fantastic. If you like cocktail bars with character, this is worth the visit.

The name really does say it all. Tables tucked in the back, cozy atmosphere, the kind of place that…read morejust feels like a good night out before you've even ordered anything. The menu is great on two levels, the aesthetic and the actual cocktail options. Wine was solid too so whatever you're in the mood for, they've got you. The staff was attentive and friendly and made some really good recommendations, which I always appreciate. We went on a busy night and even with a packed house we never waited too long for anything. Really great spot to hang with friends. Already want to go back.

They have a patio with more seating but it's a bit less themed. They have many classic and creative tiki bar themed drinks but they do take a little time to make so don't come here on a tight time table. The staff were tentative and friendly. I would definitely come back. Pro tip: all the booths inside were reserved so I'd recommend making a reservation (we came early evening on a Thursday so especially for weekends).

My husband and I stopped in here back in March and had a wonderful time. Santiago was primarily our…read moremixologist and what an amazing job he did. Not only did he serve wonderfully concocted libations, he walked us through how he makes them. It was a true art form. Andrea and Jake also made our date night great with their conversation and service. The room looked so cool and I love the hidden door access with just asking the kind door guard from the Tipsy Putt where the Trophy Room was. It really made us feel special. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Stop in for a memorable time.

Headline: Don't threaten me with a good time!…read more Location: Just before going to the lower level of Tipsy Putt you'll see a hidden door next the trophy case. This is the entrance to the speakeasy. In prior years the club was open only to members but it is now open to the public. Ambiance: I visited post New Years so they still had some holiday decorations up but really enjoyed the upper class feel. It really doesn't feel like any of the speakeasies I have been to before as it was much brighter and more open space but enjoyed it nonetheless. Food/Drinks: I strictly stayed with Espresso Martinis but they were prepared pretty well. The flatbreads also tasted amazing! They also had a list of different holiday themed drinks for those inclined for some holiday cheer. Service: The service here was super quick. The server came to our table so we did not have to head over to the bar. They came a couple of times to check on us but were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the drink options! Definitely worth a check out if you are looking for a friendly public speaker easy.

The bouncer was super friendly, as was the bartender despite the place being packed. It's tiny, with a few tables, bar seats, and some standing room. The music was great. A signature drink are their pistachio cocktails, which I really loved! If you like unique places, this is worth your visit!

And yes, there is a SpongeBob themed fish tank and yes, I loved it. Cocktail menu is creative and the drinks are actually good, which is not always a given when a bar leans heavily into aesthetics. Service was great too. One heads up though, cash only! But they have a no-fee ATM inside so it's really not a big deal. Just good to know before you go.

If you enjoy artisan cocktails and tasting menus, the Roost is well worth a visit. It's a…read morespeakeasy which is great in keeping the place classy. You won't find crowds of people clamoring for the bar to get a drink or other less desirable things detracting from the atmosphere. My gf made resy's for after dinner cocktails. We sat at the bar and enjoyed chatting with the bartender and watching his mixologist skills in action. I was only going to have two drinks here, but watching him craft these artisan cocktails made me want more. I started with the Porn Star Martini which is appropriately named for the champagne ball which explodes bubbly in your mouth- perfect to spoon into your mouth after a sip of the martini! Next up was the Cereza Grande! I watched the bartender make it which was the point of enticement. Loved the sour cherry flavor and citrus fizz! Then, I couldn't leave without tasting the Hibiscus Sunset which caught my eye first. The hibiscus and mint combination was a beautiful, invigorating libation and a perfect ending to my cocktail tasting journey. I noticed there is also a tasting menu here also. I would love to return and try. If you love the speakeasy feel with just the right amount of people without being in an overcrowded bar, you have to give Roost a visit!

I love the idea of speakeasies. The way that suddenly you are transported to a hidden space that…read moreyou think no one else knows about but then you open the door and it's like you share a secret with other like-minded people. I had been to Bawk before but little did I know about the hidden space behind it. You do need to make reservations, which I did not do. Instead I got on a list until there was a space, close to midnight and way past my bedtime, to discover this hidden gem. Once your reservation time comes up, you are escorted to a booth or bar area and given a menu. We had welcome drinks upon arrival and could choose from a cocktail list. Drinks average about $20 each, so be prepared to spend some cash. You should definitely experience this at least once! Great spot for date night or a fun girls night out.

Stopped by during happy hour and it was a nice little treat. I decided to try something new and…read moreorder a enfrijolada, it was so good. Glad I decided to try it! I did tell the server that was my first time ordering it and he asked me how it was so I appreciate him checking in. I also had the Al pastor taco, which was good but a little dry but I wouldn't hold that over them. Ordered a hibiscus margaritas well and it was delicious. I want to say they specialize in mezcal cocktails? So if you're not a fan of mezcal, there is beer as an option. I came around 4pm so it was a bit empty but the staff was welcoming. Place was cleaned and very cute. There is also plenty of street parking available. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and want a quick meal with a delicious cocktail!

Stopped by Oaxaca around 3 PM and was seated immediately since the restaurant was pretty quiet. The…read moreatmosphere was relaxed with nice music playing in the background, creating a laid-back vibe. My waitress was friendly and welcoming when I arrived. I started with the chips and guacamole. The chips were fresh, crunchy, and served warm. The guacamole was flavorful and well-balanced, sticking to a classic style without trying to do too much. For drinks, I ordered the Watermelon Raspberry Margarita. It was crisp, refreshing, and packed with flavor. Not overly sweet and not too strong, making it a great choice if you're looking for something easy to enjoy with your meal. For my entrée, I went with the Beef Tasajo tacos. The skirt steak was juicy and tender, topped with fresh onions and cilantro, and served with salsa verde and lime on the side. The tacos had that classic street taco feel, simple but satisfying. They were generously filled with meat, which I definitely appreciated. While I'm personally not a fan of purple tortillas, the quality of the steak and toppings still made these very enjoyable. My only real criticism was the water service. The cups were fairly small, and refills weren't offered as often as I would have liked. If you're thirsty, it may be worth asking for a pitcher or larger water service upfront. Overall, I left feeling full and satisfied. The food was fresh, the portions were generous, and the margarita was excellent. I'd definitely consider coming back to try more items on the menu.

Great food great drinks and above and beyond service! The place is beautiful and sophisticated…read more For my first drink I ordered a martini. This is my first classic martini (unlike lychee martinis I've had before at other places). My server asked how I like it, with olive juice or with lemon twist or another option I don't remember. To be honest I don't know how I like it because it's is my first classic martini. So I was honest with him. I said I'll do whatever you recommend because I wanted to try a classic martini cuz I've been watching Gossip Girl. I felt silly admitting I wanted a martini because of a tv show. But my server actually did his research and found that Blair (a main character in the show) likes her martini with a lemon twist. And that is the martini I got. He brought frozen glass and poured the drink on the spot. It was such a vibe and a great drink. For food I got the grilled prawns. This dish is delicious and goes so well with my martini! For my second drink I got the shiso fresh. I was debating between two drinks and asked my server for suggestions. He is absolutely right with this recommendation. Shiso fresh is refreshing and sweet but not too sweet. I loved it. Service is wonder and drinks are tasty. I can't wait to come back!

The interior is dark and light simultaneously, with its rich textiles and colors, high ceilings and the large south-facing window on the long exterior wall. Really nicely done and quite inviting. Travis mixed up what could very well have been the best Old Fashioned we've ever had. It's not my preferred cocktail, but if more were like this one, that may be another story. I opted for the Kumquat Kiss, which was delicious and different. Besides that Old Fashioned, the Hash Brown Lyonnaise really stole the show. Pillow-light hash brown sticks (how did they do that?!) with a scrumptious onion dip with crispy shallots and finely chopped chives. This is one of my top happy hour dishes of the year. Just wow! Try it yourself and tell me you don't agree. The Grilled Prawns missed the mark for me a bit, although the husband liked them. Tasty, but just not as much of a star as the other dish. Only suggestion is to have a happy hour menu for bites as well as beverages, as is found on the website. This would help avoid the need for staff to present a dinner menu (which admittedly, I was confused by) and acknowledge that the first course options are all available but at no happy hour discount (which felt a bit awkward for all involved). Overall, a delightful discovery!

I'm going to enter their first annual steak cooking contest! I think I have a good chance. Well, actually a GREAT chance!! SERVICE The staff is top notch. They are great at explaining the experience, food items and cocktails. They ask what you like and what you don't like and then make informed recommendations drawing on their experience and expertise. DECOR Dark, soft and cozy. Great 70's music playing. Not too loud currently. A nice chill vibe. Live music on certain nights of the week. Take a chance and come in to find out when and enjoy! CLEANLINESS Always clean! I have never experienced otherwise. They have pride in all that they do and it shows! LOCATION In the heart of Sacramento. Good street parking. A nice location! PRICE All in all, respectable. Comparatively speaking in our current financial climate, they are priced great! OVERALL EXPERIENCE Always enjoy coming back. I come alone, with another person, or a booger group. All are great experiences!
