Our first time in Sacramento so this was our first time here. The place is small but had a good…read morevibe going with the crowd. The bartender was able to keep up with everyone quite well - I was impressed with his friendly service and cocktails. We stopped here on our way back to the hotel from Badlands because it was advertised as gay and it was on our walk back to hotel, so we thought to check it out. Based on the crowd that evening, this did not appear to be a gay clientele establishment although there was a mix. Thats my only thing. The people were friendly - we chatted with a few people - just looking more for that local gay scene since we were out of towners. And, maybe they are a gay establishment with a very mixed crowd.

Overall I am a fan of the spot and hope this review helps and thank you for reading and have a yelptastic day.

Plentiful of seating area that can easily accommodate big groups and parties. Mini putt and table putt which was unique to see, arcade games, Photo Booth, and bar + delicious food. Last call for food was 12 and they were kind enough to squeeze our order in right before. Got the tacos and nachos. Everything was delicious and great portions minus the carnitas was just a tad dry but overall was yummy and go perfectly with a glass of beer. They have a large variety to choose from. Wish it was a full bar though so no liquor but bartender did say they can make some classic drink like margarita and Mexican candy shooters? For a Friday night although it was closer to midnight when we arrive I was hoping it would be more lively but I still had a decent time.

Perfect for geeks, nerds, dorks, memers, hot girls with secrets, gnomes, wimpy kids with diaries, drunk aunts and queen bees.

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.

I've been here several times and at first really liked coming here but with changes they've had…read moreit's become a less than favorable one. When I first started coming, they had a huge spacious outdoor space where you could sit and hang out at, smoke, drink, and play games at. But they had to close this area and it's now a parking lot, leaving a super small awkward and dark "outdoor space" that barely fits a group of people. The inside is dark and a little cramped but theres booth seating and bar space. I honestly like the look and feel of the inside. The drinks are decent and they have DJs on certain nights. My friends and I had a less than great experience once on a bar crawl when we weren't given great service and overcharged. Hopefully in the future things improve.

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.

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!

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.

I don't think I've ever not been able to get a table or booth for longer than like 15-20 minutes. The music is at the right level if you still want to have a conversation. The bar is always clean and the bathrooms are lovely. It's not the type of bar where you have to go looking for a drink. From Lavender Martinis to hot toddy's they're putting out fantastic drinks. The Jamison and the Giant Peach is my personal favourite. The bartender wouldn't give me the exact recipe no matter what but he made one in front of me, after I proved I didn't live in the same state and had a completely different career.

Myself and my entire group was removed/denied entry for my medical bag being "out of policy".This…read moreis not simply just a purse or a bag I bring for convenience, it contains all three of my epilepsy medications, including my emergency seizure medication, which I need to have accessible in case of an emergency. I also have documentation and prescriptions for all of my medications. I asked if I can remove all other items in my bag ( lip gloss, chapstick, black gel pen, and hair ties) and they still said no. I then came back WITHOUT my bag and she said I couldn't come in because I was previously denied for my bag or as they say " Since we seen it in the past the policy still stands" I literally had to laugh out loud but then let my 3 friends in with fanny packs & cross body before me? I was in the back of the line and was next after my friends got checked and that's when I was denied entry the second time despite not having my bag or anything besides my phone and Id. Because of my epilepsy, I'm unable to drive, so when I go out I have to rely on public transportation, Lyft, or Uber. That means carrying my medication with me is a necessity, not something I can simply leave in my car. I completely understand that businesses have security policies and restrictions on bags. However, I was disappointed that there wasn't an accommodation. I've been to other Sacramento establishments, including The Depot, Dive Bar, The Merc, and Low Brau, where staff were able to accommodate me while allowing me to keep my bag with my medication with me. The security seem to have a reoccurring issue with customers based on the reviews on both yelp and google so that being my experience as well seems to add up. What makes this especially disappointing is that I was actually really excited to check Faces out, especially because I was looking forward to creating content there. Unfortunately, being denied entry over the medical bag left a very negative impression and completely changed my experience before I even had the opportunity to visit. I hope management considers having a clear policy for medically necessary medication and makes sure staff know how to handle situations like this appropriately. People with medical conditions shouldn't have to choose between carrying essential medication and being able to enjoy an establishment.
