It is small inside but has a surprising amount of seating they were able to make fit. It is dark, intimate, and romantic. The vibes I was getting was a mixture of burlesque snd dive bar. The bartenders were super nice, the drink prices are very reasonable and cheaper than some midtown bars I've been to, and they have a touchtunes like machine you can play music on, as well as two pool tables. I really enjoyed our time here and would come back.

Poorly trained staff who don't have basic bartending skills. Gross and dirty atmosphere. Don't even think about going into the bathrooms. The bar smells like it hasn't been properly cleaned in years. Everything is sticky, dirty, and has years of crust on it. Basically a literal health hazard. Eat and drink at your own risk!

Perfect for geeks, nerds, dorks, memers, hot girls with secrets, gnomes, wimpy kids with diaries, drunk aunts and queen bees. No matter who or what you are, you'll probably find a way to have a great time at Coin-Op. I literally tell everyone to come here. Because everyone should go here. Except not all at once on the nights I wanna go because I don't want it to be too crowded :)

This bar is truly a definition of a dive bar-dark lighting inside,they tend to play throwback music 100% of the time which is awesome-the bartenders here are always super friendly and always seem young-not always the most experienced bartenders you will run into but they always do their job with lots of enthusiasm and friendly demeanors-I think that's important. The drinks themselves are pretty inexpensive per todays Sacramento downtown standards,I think my old fashioned ran for either $10 or $11 which is pretty good and they are always solid-they make very solid get the job done keep the vibe going level drinks and at that price-that's a winning combination. My favorite part of this bar though for me is easy-it's the outside back patio.It features a few long tables and it's mostly frequented by someone either looking to smoke a cigarette or vape,I personally will go back there and light up a cigar and just enjoy the craziness that occurs back there.By craziness I just mean a lot of people socializing-laughing telling stories and getting along,u literally can strike up conversations with people you never met before just based on the fact that you know anybody who finds themselves in the back outside patio at B-Side knows what's up-nobody lands there on accident-it's a super chill spot with a never ending cast of unknowns who might sit next to you and just be prepared as your probably going to have the most random conversation you have ever had in your life. B-Side isn't a fancy bar or a place to go before a nice dinner-this place isn't for everyone,especially at my age,but if u are ever lucky enough to walk thru those doors be prepared to be transported to a time when all you ever wanted was a place you could kick back-have a cheap drink,maybe enjoy a smoke and just chat with people who don't have their noses buried in their ohones-a true throwback.

They seem to know every single song requested somehow! It was my first time going to a dueling piano place and how it works is you request songs by sending money via Venmo (or good ole fashioned cash) and you can request any song. The more you pay the higher priority it gets. You can also pay to cut off the song. Would definitely come again for a fun night out!

Yes, I go to a lot of dueling piano shows. The Silver Lining has been on my list for a while, so I'm glad I finally got to experience it. Reserved seating in advance, at the bar which costs a little less than the main area, but is just as fun and engaging if you come for the live music. It's a small spot, so the sound fills the room no matter where you sit. The dueling piano show ends between 10:30-11:00pm. I enjoyed it while it lasted. The song request list included Pink Pony Club, Bennie And The Jets, Pour Some Sugar On Me, Sweet Caroline, Gangster's Paradise, I Love Rock n Roll, It's All Coming Back To Me Now, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, My Girl, Piano Man, Come and Get Your Love, Bohemian Rhapsody, Elton John's Your Song, Taylor Swift's Anti-Hero, and a mash up of Brown Eyed Girl and Summer of 69. (I swear I didn't name the entire song list for the night, lol) The musicians were playful but didn't butcher songs to the point of being distasteful... yes some dueling pianists do this at other venues. And their music added to an already inviting setting featuring dim lighting and cool wall art. The drinks of course added to my experience as well. For cocktails, I had the Hell of a Caucasian, Jackie (which was pretty much a chocolate martini) and the 1982 Mojito. The drinks were made well, both in terms of flavor and alcohol content. The bartenders were friendly and attentive and provided excellent service. It's a coincidence I wore a dress, cuz most ladies were wearing dresses on this night. It's a casual spot, I guess it's just the warm weather. A great spot for a fun night out regardless. Thank you, Silver Lining, for a good time.

I really wanted to like this place, and for a while, I did--mainly because the food coming out of…read morethe kitchen was genuinely good. That was the one standout. Unfortunately, once that element was gone, there wasn't much left to justify coming back. The space itself feels oddly empty most of the time, which creates a pretty awkward atmosphere rather than an inviting one. It's the kind of place where you walk in and immediately feel like you shouldn't be there. The aesthetic also feels mismatched and underwhelming--like it's trying to be something it's not, but never quite gets there. There are so many other places that JUST DO IT BETTER. At this point, there are just better options around that offer both quality food and a more welcoming environment. I'd recommend saving your time and going somewhere that delivers a more complete experience.

It was definitely a unique experience, and seeing the mermaid perform was the highlight of our visit! I was a little disappointed by the cover charge since we were only planning to stop in for one drink before heading elsewhere.

This bar is carried almost entirely by the live music, which is providential, because the rest of…read morethe experience is a slow march into annoyance. Charlie, the bartender, has all the warmth of a parking ticket. He seems deeply offended by the existence of customers. He is surly, rude, unfriendly, and has the general expression of a man being forced to work off a curse. Ordering from him feels less like getting a drink and more like asking a prison guard for a favor. The drinks are overpriced, which might be forgivable if they were at least consistent. They are not. By the third round, the alcohol seems to have gone on vacation. The smell alone tells you something is off, like the liquor was shown a glass of water and told to do its best. So yes, the music is good, the place is okay, but the drinks are suspect and Charlie acts like hospitality is a personal attack.
