Would be 5 stars but the parking sucks, first 2hrs free then $50 an hr for event parking. Came for trivia and every table was reserved, was told by staff we could sit in one area as the reservation was ending at7, then got assaulted by some tomb raider women in nasty manner repeating the signs said reserved til 9 over and over again. Moved to a random spot with no table #, poor waitstaff had no clue where to deliver the food of everyone forced to move. Tomb raider lady gave us no help redirecting the food, screwing over the servers. Then we sit here for the hr of trivia where those tables remained empty. Tomb raider lady do better, you were nasty in your demeanor, maybe offer an apology for the crappy seating situation everywhere. There should be reserved seating for trivia, how bout that?! Update, tomb raider just moved the signs that said reserved. No one sat there. She chased off customers and ruined the staffs flow and pissed everyone off for nothing. Maybe next time wait til the "banquet party" actually shows up. read more

Drake’s: The Barn - Breweries Near Me - West Sacramento, California

This is a good spot if wanting food near Sutter Health Park. It was easy to park at the ballpark, walk over to Drake's and then to the game. Super convenient! Food was good. It wasn't the best or worst. When you walk up, if you can drink alcohol, you need to show your id and get a wristband. Seating is open but there are cards on the table for reservations. So look closely at it for the time slot so you know if the table is available. Eating is outside. So if you have allergies or weather isn't to your liking, this is NOT the place for you. They have a lot of shade space. However, the infrastructure that brings shade makes the place loud (think echo chamber). To order, there's a QR code on the table. I liked how this was easy. The only odd thing was that when you order, you're ordering from different kitchens, which I didn't know when I placed the order. So when we ordered burgers and pizza. They came out at different times. We ended up getting some BBQ because only the burgers came. When I followed up with someone they said our wait for the pizza could be anywhere from 30-60 mins (). That seemed long for a personal (small) pizza. By the time the pizza came out, we were done with everything else. Pizza was good though, BBQ too. The burgers were okay. It's pretty chaotic here. I would've picked another area to eat but wanted to check it out. I didn't even take photos because we were so hungry by the time the food came. I think this place is more for vibes than food. It's a good place for a group wanting drinks and eats or families needing space for kids to run around. It was just too crowded and loud for my liking. read more

Nice spot to go for a good beer and reasonably priced bar food. Bartender made really strong margaritas. It is pet and kid friendly. ( someone was having a two year olds birthday party on Saturday night) so kids are running all around. Down side... you have to find and pay for street parking, and walk a bit. It is also highly recommended to reserve a table online in advance. You don't get to pick your specific table, only general seating area and unfortunately our reservation ended up being directly in the sun and it was over 95 degrees outside. The misters are helpful if they are near your table. read more

Fun West Sac hangout place!! Parking: moderately difficult (metered, popular area) Ambience: 10/10: live music, outdoor under the open sky, super relaxing. Great crowd and overall flow. Entry: there's a line for ID check and wristbands, but it moves quickly. Restrooms: clean, 5 stalls per gender with plenty of sinks. No line when I went. Seating: mostly outdoor. Options include long canopy tables (fits: 6-8 people) or fireplace seating (extra $10). The building itself has really interesting architecture: loved it. There's also a small indoor area called "The Wing" with a nice bar and fun photo props. Service: ordering is done via QR code at your table and paid upfront. Food comes out fast (5-10 minutes). One hiccup: they dropped another table's pizzas at ours without confirming, and sauces cost extra, even basic ones like hot sauce have to be ordered online. Food & drinks: burgers, pizza, wings, fries. Drinks: beers and ciders. Highly recommend the lavender lemonade. Overall: great spot for casual hangouts with friends: definitely a fun place to bring guests. read more

Hello to my 1,000th review! I booked a reservation for Drake's online knowing that Easter Sunday would be packed and man, was I right! Not only was it packed at Drake's, but unbeknownst to me, there was also an A's game going on at the same time so parking was a nightmare! Drake's hosted a Easter event yesterday so my husband and I took our daughter and met 3 other family members. We had an assigned table which was nice and super convenient. The kids got to do a 7-12 year old egg hunt which was crazy - too many kids for the amount of eggs they put out (I saw some kids walking away crying), but they also did an adult one that consisted of only 50 eggs total even though there were double the amount of adults. Each adult egg had a beer ticket inside though! We ordered food on the QR code - a 50/50 pizza with Pepperoni and Cheese and Hot Wings. The food took a really long time to come to our table - the Hot Wings came 15 minutes, if not longer, after the pizza arrived. Both items were good though so couldn't complain too much. Overall, we had a fun time! There was a DJ who played all of the Millennial songs mixed with some great kid tunes as well. We might check it out again next year! read more

Had an afternoon in the Sac town with no plans after lunch. I went ahead and checked out the "Barn" near the Waterfront. It was 70-80's and perfect day for some "suds". I got a nice Plilsner and chilled on the patio for a bit. I looked like they had food also, but I decided on taking a patio chair and enjoyed the outdoor weather before it got hot. Friendly staff and food makes it an inviting chill place. I will check it out next time I'm in the area. read more

Love this place so much! The vibe, food, drinks, service are all great. I noticed a review about seeing kids there. That's what I really like about Drakes. As a newish parent with little kids I can still go out and enjoy a cold drink or two in the summer and not worry if my toddler gets up runs around a little, dances in front of the DJ or whatever. It's a super chill place. Excited to visit when I can! read more

We came here with our friends to enjoy an evening of relaxation and some beer! This was our first time here. Menu was limited. We've ordered two pizzas and their lemon humus dip. Price was decent. Pizzas were good. That lemon humus dip was amazing! So much so, we've ordered another round! They have a nice outdoor setting with lots of seats and tables. There were areas with fire pits, but they were all reserved when we got there. Duly noted. Staff were friendly and the company was even better! read more

Sunday, 1/25/2026 - @ Drake's The Barn in the afternoon. The alcoholic drinkers needed a bracelet to buy alcohol. I don't drink, so didnt need a bracelet. There were a couple of live bands playing. They had these tall heaters by the tables. That really helped in this cold day. I've been here before and always liked it. It was relaxing. The servers who brought us our meals was very nice. That beet salad with goat cheese was good, the vegetarian looking pizza was good (love the little burnt taste here and there), & crispy brussel sprouts were perfect. There is a table you can get your own water too. We had a nice time. Ps... it is paid parking. $2.00 an hour. Use the app. read more

Finally visited Drake's for the first time. It was a fairly hot afternoon but the combo of a little breeze and the deep shade of the barn made for a pleasant time. We placed our order at the counter and took our pretty purple cocktails to a table and awaited notification that our food was ready. Unfortunately, my friend's cell phone didn't seem to buzz when the food was ready so we sat around for nearly 10 mins until we figured out the food was ready for us. We got the Brussels sprouts and vegan pizza with pesto and potatoes. Both were excellent and just so tasty. I left very satisfied ~ and I'm not even vegan! read more

Drake's is a nice place to enjoy an afternoon outside but most people will have the same idea as you if it's a nice day, so be prepared for crowds! Many tables were reserved so if you can plan ahead, that will set you up for success. Lines at the bars were long and it took us almost an hour to get our pizza and salad, and a lot of the menu items were crossed off. That being said, the vibes were high, the pizza was delicious, and the beer was cold and crispy. I appreciated the large selection of beer offered and our group had a good time hanging out here. read more

I don't think I would come here unless I was leaving a River cats or A's game and wanted a beer or a bite! Nothing wrong with it, I didn't realize it was all outdoor seating with a limited menu and slow service. We ordered a pizza, wings and two cocktails. The pizza was thin crispy and had good flavor. The wings were good, but could've been a little crisp beer and we ordered them extra crispy. My husband had a beer and I had the P flower margarita it had a good flavor, but it wasn't very strong. read more

Came here for an event from work. We got a fire pit, s'mores, pizza, salads and hummus. Obviously super cute location and the music was great. Highlight of the night was surprisingly the Chiquita pepita salad! Surprisingly delicious especially considering that it was competing with pizza! Highly recommend it. We took leftovers home and they held up great. Would probably return for that salad :) read more

Chill outdoor atmosphere with two separate areas to get different types of drinks! I like the large outdoor space, which has tables and chairs plus lounge chairs to enjoy with friends on the grass. You can get beer on tap or in cans on the left or if you walk into the building straight ahead after the entrance, you can grab some craft cocktails! They had a small but yummy menu today, including salads, pizza and fries and I had a nice mock margarita to go with my Italian style salad. The staff is friendly and there are also seats indoors if that's more your style! I love the live music too. Not sure how often they do it but I came on a Friday to watch my friend's band play. Cheers! read more

Drakes the barn is an amazing spot to get some beers, take the family, enjoy the music and vibes. My wife and I are on a road trip and this was a stop to meet up with one of my brothers in law. We came it to just enjoy a quick beer and head out. The open space and kind of camp out vibe was amazing. If it's hot try to grab a space with shade otherwise you would get cooked. They have fire pits and games so you really can't go wrong. The food was ok, we got a pizza and the lemon hummus with veggies. The pizza was decent but the flour on the bottom took away the flavor. Mind you I love that they to woodfire pizza, I make woodfire pizza at home but ya just gatta watch the flour underneath to not lose the flavor or the crispness of the dough. The hummus was ok, I was hoping for a more lemony flavor and the veggies were cut really thin. As far as bang for you buck it was ok. They had women great beers and drinks on then menu so honestly the environment is set up for vibes. The food could use a little more love but honestly it's a great spot because in the end ... decent food, good friends, drinks and vibes ... you cant beat that. read more

I stopped by with a few coworkers to celebrate coworkers birthday. I've been to the barn on multiple occasions for events but never purchased anything. I bought a drink and it was tasty. I'll return to try food one day. The pizza looked really good and burger that someone else ordered. You can order with a QR code and they bring your order to the table. You can also go inside to place your order. They have plenty of outdoor seating. If you have a big party, I suggest reserving a table. I think it's a $30 charge but please inquire within. We didn't reserve. Check them out and it's kid friendly. read more

Went to the barn after an A's game. Their service and beer is always A+, their food is a solid B+. Pictured is the pepperoni pizza with some ranch on the side. Dough and cheese make this pizza; the sauce needs some flavor. Overall, solid 7/10 read more

The Barn is a great place to socialize with friends outdoors. They have a lot of different events everything from live bands, Best of Sac, Movie nights and more. You can rent a fire pit for special occasions like birthdays. They have a great selection of beer, some wine and even craft cocktails, ask for Gerit, he's always been awesome. My beertender Jessica was so sweet, and patient helping us make our selections. She was very knowledgeable and big on giving amazing service which is very hard to find these days. They have a good selection of food as well including pizzas, burgers etc. They have an Asian fusion food truck as well and offer BBQ on Sundays, though that sells out quickly. During warm months they have fun slushy drinks which I think they should offer year round lol, but I'm the kind of person that enjoys ice cream on cold days lol. read more

I will absolutely never come back here again. It is not worth it. This our third time here and not once was the experience worth it In fact this time they forgot about our order! Yep, we got our pizzas about an hour after ordering and our drinks never came! So my husband stood in a 20 minute line to finally ask about our drinks and was told they forgot it. We each had a pizza and 2 drinks each for which I gave 20% tip once the order went in. Now we are drinking our drinks with cold pizza that is just average. read more

Pizza at Drakes is our standard pre-game meal. Great selection of beers on tap at the bar counter. Service is pretty quick and pizzas are delicious. The place looks cool with the various seating options, fire pits and often has live music. Fly city, though. Four stars for that and the live music is so loud it is even harder for me to hear during conversations than normal. Tip: have your ID ready. read more

I think Drake's biggest appeal is it's outdoor beer garden atmosphere. There plenty of room to move around, picnic tables, fire pits, and a big grassy area for kids and dogs to play. It's also great for beer, wine, cocktails, food, and entertainment. They have a huge assortment of beer and even let the indecisive (like me!) try samples. For the people who don't like to burp the night away, there's a good selection of wine and cocktails. There are a couple food trucks out back frying up greasy goodies for hungry patrons and food's pretty good. I've been many times and have watched Drake's grow in popularity over the years. So much so, that it's getting hard to find parking. Which is really the only drawback about this beer barn. On busy nights you have to drive around for a while, or park far away and walk! A good way to burn off that beer belly I guess. read more

Outdoor bar with small bites along the river. I tried the west cost IPA and the Sutter pizza. Both weren't bad. Limited table seating. Mostly lawn chairs. If you have kids and pets this place is definitely worth checking out. The kids loved the outdoor space. It is pretty secluded so if you do visit, this will be the only establishment around. Good for business, but bad for those who enjoy bar/restaurant hopping. read more

Updating my review 2 years later! There has been improvement! The lines to get in move faster. The food (pizza) is just ok but arrives faster. Food and some drinks are really overpriced, like the slushy drinks. Be aware of pricing and choose wisely. Parking cost is terrible because of the River Cats & A's. On game day the street parking can be $30 if you are staying over 2 hours. It is cheaper to park in the LOT for $10 and walk a little ways. The music and atmosphere is enjoyable with the nice delta breeze. read more

The biggest selling point of Drake's is the outdoor atmosphere and the amount of spaces people can get together at. Each time I've gone, it's been busy, so I would definitely recommend reservations for those who want to be able to confirm that they'll have a spot to sit down at to socialize. With ordering being tied to a QR code assigned to each unique table, the ordering system is pretty streamlined and nifty. No need to get up and tell the staff where you are, and hope that you described adequately. I've enjoyed my time the times I've gone. Is the food mindblowingly good? No, but it's good enough for socializing with a group. They have a number of drinks available, so that's nice. Overall, the menu is very much casual. With the amount of people that go to Drake's, expect a wait for food. It's normal to wait quite a bit of time for a pizza. I'd suggest ordering right away, if pizza is the choice. Parking is on the street, and you've got to pay; just an FYI. read more

If it's a hot day in Sacramento, try and get a reservation ahead of time. They have plenty of misters in the huge outdoor area, but they're all over the benches that are essentially for reservations only. Thank me later. My brother thought Drake's would be a great place to have dinner with my family when we visited and they were totally right. Parking was a bit tricky, especially with it being a Friday night during summer and on the same day as the local minor league baseball team having a home game, but luckily we circled around a bit and found street parking just a couple blocks away. There is a huge grass area to let your kids run around while you eat & enjoy a good selection of beers. The day we were there they also had a local craft fair which means a good chunk of the grass was occupied by booths, but there was still plenty of space for all 5 of the kids we came with to run around, play baseball, and just be free spirited. All while the 4 adults sat on a bench and enjoyed some amazing pizzas and beers. It was just a calm, laid back, community vibe that I feel like I don't find often these days. I'm jealous that my brother and his family can come here any time they want. I will say things feel a bit disjointed. Maybe the more you go the more you will feel it out, but it felt weird that you went to one place to get drinks. Another place to get some types of food, another for another type and then a different place for napkins, etc. The fact that you have to go to at least 2 places just to order a pizza and beer seems really illogical to me. We tried using the app and it took a bit to figure out, but once again, we still had to go to 2 places to pick things up. I just wish they had a dedicated drink area, but then also let you order anything there at the pizza area. Just find a way to let people come just for beer, and then others come for beer & food. read more

Was here for a sunset show and the place was crowded as it should for a DJ. With how many people there were, it would've been nice if it was more organized with the use of the space and where each of the lines for each bar started and ended. You can tell that people were confused with how the lines were set up and can notice people cutting because they weren't sure if the line was where it was or further back. I did like how it was smart to have different areas serving alcohol so there were more bar areas. It was also nice that they had a decent amount of seating and mists all around so folks can stay cool in the heat. Another thing that I heard someone in the crowd say was that VIP didn't have their own bathroom area? So folks in VIP had to leave the VIP section to go to the bathroom on the other side? Overall, Drake's is definitely a great spot for DJ sets or just a place to grab a beer with your friends, but I think they just need to plan better with organizing the food and drink lines. read more

I really wanted to love this place. My daughter was doing the school of rock concert there, and we came in for the first time. We ordered nearly $70 worth of food which they delivered to the wrong table. The server let the other table pick apart our pepperoni pizza and drink our coke, and asked us to wait longer for our order. The c02 went out in the bar taps when we went to order, so we had to wait in long lines at the other bar location. It seemed like every thing we ordered- they were out of. Appreciate them allowing an all ages concert, that's the redemption. The humus is decent. read more

Most of the seating was outdoors. We went on a Monday; otherwise, it may have been packed. We parked on the street and met friends inside, or rather, on the other side of the wood structure. Seemed like there was only one employee serving, so there was a bit of a wait once you ordered. Salad was okay, pizza was good! Stone-fired crust was my favorite part! There are outdoor sections to accommodate everyone--lawn chairs, fire pits, picnic tables, a bar. Very interesting concept! I didn't like the sand in my shoes, but it's worth a visit to check it out! read more

This was my first time coming to Drake's Barn. I really love that they offer such a great variety of drinks, including beers, ciders, cocktails, and wine. The atmosphere is fun, with music, food trucks, and small business vendors selling various items. The brewery also has food options like salads, pizza, wings, fries, and more. I'm giving this place a 3/5 because when we ordered drinks using the scan code, they came out completely watered down. The Mariposa Margarita tasted like tea - there wasn't even a hint of alcohol. Parking is also hectic, and you have to pay every day, Monday through Sunday, which is mandatory. On the bright side, it's both child-friendly and dog-friendly. read more

I arrived at about 12:30 on Memorial Day. I stood in line for nearly an hour while I watched the staff allow people in front of me to sample beers. If there are 20 people in line and they've been waiting for nearly an hour, I don't think you should be allowing people to be tasting beers. I'm now waiting for my food, which I ordered almost an hour ago. My only thought here is that management thought this would be just another Monday. Just terrible planning. Probably won't come back again. There are plenty of other breweries with much better service and planning. read more

I love the beer at Drake's , been a fan since my Oakland days and the Dealership was my go to dog friendly spot. The vibe at the Barn is great, big space, lots of tables, fire pits you can reserve , on game days gets crowded but they manage it very well and servers are always checking on tables and food comes our relatively quick, glad there's a restaurant now And that it took me longest time to write a review to talk about the restaurant, great menu.

Cool spot but it is all outdoors. It was cold so I asked the host if someone could turn on a heat lamp and was told it would take 10 minutes. There were two people in the host booth but no one coming in. After 10 minutes one of them came and turned it on. Don't know why we needed to wait in the cold. We put our orders in only to be told after we paid through the online ordering system that it would be an hour for food to come out. I would have left had I known that before ordering. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

We were coming to Sac for a Yankees/Athletics game at Sutter Health Park and were so excited to know that Drake's: The Barn was within walking distance from the park. We arrived about 5 minutes after opening and it was busy enough already that they had begun a waitlist. Fortunately it was only about a 10 minute wait for the three of us. It was good to learn that reservations are common and a great option for larger parties. The space is quite large inside with plenty of shade via the overhang and umbrellas placed throughout the yard. There was plenty of seating, a DJ was playing music, the misters were flowing as well as the beer. Our beertender was friendly and was kind enough to give us some samples so we could narrow down our options. We were stoked with the extensive beer selections on tap, including some sours! Our group ended up choosing the Patches O'Houlihan Amber, the Cult of the Sun sour, the Tart Breaker cherry sour blonde, A Hop, Skip, & A Jump collab, and the Juicy Hoot IPA - each beer was cold and delicious! They have a nice selection of food and cocktails as well, but we were only there for the beers this time. It is also dog-friendly and several children were in attendance as well. We can't wait to come back the next time we are in the area! read more

Drake's is a fave spot every season. Family and pet friendly, you can plan get togethers here, dates or if you just want pizza! They have tons of beer and cider selection for everyone. I love the DJs, mini concerts and markets Drake has and it does bring the community together. Think about it as a bigger backyard where you can meet locals! Also some nights you can see the fireworks from the Rivercats game. read more

We love going to The Barn when we get a bunch of our friends together. Huge outdoor space, fire pits, pizza, and beer - what more could you ask for?! They also have wine and cocktails for the non-beer lovers. There is even a live band that plays on some days. We go here year round - we love going here during the summer to enjoy being outdoors and we love going here during the colder seasons to enjoy the fire pits. Depending on the day you go - lines can be long but the servers are knowledgable and will even suggest beers for you to try based on what you like. The only downside is parking - which can be difficult to find close by so be prepared to either drive around for a while to find a close spot or wear those walking shoes! read more
