Concerts in the Park are in the heart of Midtown, at the formerly known as Cesar Chavez Park every…read moreFriday from the beginning of May to the end of June! I hadn't been to Concert in the Park in years - something about working downtown makes me want to hurry up and get home every night - especially in the heat and surrounded by a large crowd. But just like the thousands of other people last Friday when it was announced that The All-American Rejects were doing a secret show - we braved all of it and had a great time! While there were a decent amount of food tents, I didn't buy any food or drinks because the lines were crazy long, but we did check out the balloon animal lady for my daughter and niece who were with us! We mostly hung in the back away from the crowd and man, was it packed! I heard that they were only allowing 9,000 people into the park and there were still at least 2,000 people stuck outside. There was a lot of security everywhere which was nice in case anything happened, but getting out of the park was kind of a mess. Luckily, we parked close and it was easy to get home - I can't imagine how long it must take to get an Uber with that many people and cars around though. Overall, I think Concert in the Park is amazing! A few concerts every Friday with surprise guests! It's a great way to welcome the Summer and I love that our city offers something like this! We already have our eye on another date, and I can't wait to come back again! Check them out if you're looking for something cool to do on a Friday night - there are still 4 Fridays left before it's over!

I braved the heat and went to the last concert in the park of the season. It was well worth it for…read morethe music, food, fun, and people watching. The bands drew a mostly older crowd, but there was a mix of younger people too. There were a number of food trucks offering pizzas, burgers, Indian food, and treats. Some local radio stations, internet providers, scooter rental, and put put golf businesses also had booths at the event. They were giving away coupons, contest entries, and schwag to promote their businesses. It was all good. The drinks started at $5.00 for a water, 8.00 for a Michelob Ultra, $12.00 for a premium beer, and ended at $14.00 for a cocktail. Not exactly budget friendly, but I've seen prices that are worse. Big shout out to Bonney Heating and Air for their cooling tent with the misters. That was a game changer!

Makes me happy to see more punk/goth/metal shows happening here. I went to the recently sold out Die Spitz show and I was amazed how much energy the crowd had.

I love going to concerts, but somehow in all my years, I have somehow never attended a show at…read moreHarlow's. Located on J Street on the 27th block, this small club exceeded all my expectations for this show. Parking is mostly all neighborhood parking at street meters, but the venue only holds maybe 300 so its not horrible Going through security and ticket check was relatively quick and painless, with security and employees all easy going and pleasant. Once inside, the merch tables were a little cramped, but merch was displayed prominently and transactions were quick and easy. The bar area to right when you first walk in takes up almost the whole wall, with multiple bartenders taking orders and serving customers so ordering a beer was quick to come, ice cold and not ridiculously marked up compared to other places .They also had various mixed drink options. The actual floor/stage area was small, intimate and surrounded at back and on side with raised area with some tables and chairs that were reserved, I assume for an extra price (I didnt inquire). The acoustics were quite good, considering the bands playing(opener was a so cal punk band called The Mainliners), headliner was a heavy metal stoner/grunge type band from Norway (Slomosa). A great evening of music, venue is exceptional, looking forward to finding a show I can take the wife too, as I never explored the back or upper areas that I understand add even more layers to an exceptional experience at this venue.

Came for lunch on a Friday, and it was pretty empty which meant we got to be seated right away. The…read moremenu has a variety of options for lunch, including specials. The shrimp tacos were good in size, and came with limes and some radishes. The tortilla was slightly soggy for the last taco due to the sauce and pico de gallo, so it was messy. One recommendation would be to include non-alcoholic drinks on an insert for the menu. It was difficult to know what they had and in what form. We had wanted an agua fresca, but our waitress didnt think they were ready/fresh.

The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The food was solid and enjoyable overall. One small suggestion: larger drink glasses would be great, as the current ones are on the smaller side and required frequent refills. Overall, a comfortable spot with good vibes, good service, and dependable food--I'd definitely come back. If you want it shorter, more casual, or more hype-leaning, say the word and I'll tweak the tone.

It was a hot day and the interior was cool in temperature which was nice and we were immediately greeted by the staff. The staff were friendly and offered recommendations on the food with our wine tasting. We ordered the flatbread and meatballs and wow!! It was sooooo good! Full of flavor and well prepared. We also learned they have a ranch and sell meats and other products and they have daily activities throughout the week at this location which sounded like lots of fun! The wine was also very good! I bought a bottle of their Sauvignon Blanc to enjoy at home. I would definitely come visit again!

Right now it's open Friday and Saturday nights from 5 to 11. Hoping it sticks around and maybe expands. Solid addition to Midtown Sacramento.

My friends and I had one wine tasting each, which consisted of one red, two whites, and a mixed tasting. I had some of theirs of course but I stuck to my usual "reds". I really enjoyed the barbera, and their sweeter wine , the rendezvous. I didn't care for their Tempranillo blend because it was too peppery. I liked one white wine (not a white wine person) and it was their Chardonnay. It was less acidic and more buttery. The service was kind and they were quick. Business wasn't too busy yet, so she was on it! The out door patio was spacious and it was a garage type feel. It will be perfect for the summer for sure . The bathroom is a separate stall outside by the way

I've been here a few times, most recently after the Giants' Fan Fest, and bought a bottle of rosé and got it signed by Dusty, who was chatting with guests and taking pictures with people after speaking at Fan Fest. The wine bottles themselves are cute, with baseball theme labels and corks. The two times I've been there were food stands and I loved the nachos I got from the vendor that was there Jan. 31. So good! It shares a space with a brewery, giving lots of options for drinkers. I'm looking forward to trying my rosé and will be back to try their sparkling rosé. Thanks!
