Drinks are strong here even if they look smaller. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and vibe is like old western (like a lot of Folsom). Friendly service and clean. It's also on the main road so it's the perfect place to stop in for a drink. read more

Quaint bar in old Folsom. I already had lots of wine before came here. We wanted a chill spot to relax for the rest of the afternoon. They have a nice quiet back patio if you just want a little sunshine and shade to chill and relax in a garden setting. My friend order us a Peach Green tea, that had no green tea in it at all. It was just how the drink was named. It was delicious and a great way to close out the day that we had. This bar is a good vibe inside and a nice, serene vibe in the back. Definitely a good stop when in old town. read more

I stopped by the Folsom hotel for a drink as it was recommended by a friend. We walked in a I did like the vibe. The bartender was friendly and attentive and an overall sweetheart. My friend ordered us the green tea. I honestly thought it was green tea with alcohol in it lol. That's not the case there is absolutely no green tea in the drink whatsoever, It was strong yet delicious and had a nice peach flavor. I would order it again. The whisky slushie was delicious as well. You can also order food Fri the outside food truck as well to soak up that liquor, They have a lovely back patio that is spacious and decorated nicely. I would come if I am in the area, read more

Folsom Hotel - Drinks sitting outside on a nice day - Bars Near Me - Folsom, California

I witnessed one of the most unprofessional and disturbing interactions I've ever seen. My boyfriend and I stepped outside and were simply walking on the public sidewalk next to the building when a security guard wearing a cowboy hat and long blond hair approached him, began harassing him, and shoved him for no reason. The guard then ran back inside. When my boyfriend tried to go back in, four security guards surrounded him, grabbed him, and forcefully pushed him toward the road. I watched the entire incident unfold, and at no point did I see him do anything that justified being treated that way. No customer should ever be handled like this. I sincerely hope management reviews the security camera footage, holds those involved accountable, and makes changes before someone else is treated the same way. It was a frightening experience, and because of what I witnessed, we will never return. read more

Terrible experience. Last night my girlfriend and I were enjoying our evening when we stepped outside and walked along the public sidewalk beside the building. Without justification, a security guard wearing a cowboy hat and with long blond hair confronted me, began harassing me, and intentionally shoved me before immediately running back inside. When I attempted to re-enter, four security guards surrounded me, grabbed me, and forcefully pushed me toward the roadway. At no point did I threaten anyone or do anything that justified being physically handled in this manner. My girlfriend witnessed the entire incident, and I intend to file a police report so the incident can be investigated. I also hope the owner reviews the surveillance footage and takes appropriate action, because no customer should be treated this way. I will never return and cannot recommend this establishment to anyone who expects to be treated with professionalism and respect. read more

I've been here a few times now usually after having already been to Scarlets/Powerhouse across the street and wanting to continue the night. The experience you'll get is truly up to so many factors. The times my friends and I have came have been on Friday/Saturday nights and the place is packed. It's a $20 cover to get in, they do have an ATM machine you can use. It's packed both inside and outside, you'll wait 15 mins to use the bathroom and will have people hanging on the door for you to get out the whole time, and it'll be hot inside! This isn't a bad bar, it's divey and feels like it's for college kids and middle aged couples. The music has been ok, but if you can find an area to hang out with your friends in the back I'd suggest that! This definitely seems like the place to go with friends if you want to drink and socialize the night away. Haven't tried any of the food, the drinks are fine. read more

Folsom Hotel - Bars Near Me - Folsom, California

it's nicely decorated. was there until like 11/12 ish on a friday night , some dancing . The main reason i'm leaving two stars is because i ordered 2 moscow mules that night, they were good but, but ordering them from two different bartenders on 2 different tabs, (first one said he was leaving soon?) I was charged a different amount for the same drink.... the first bartender (man who was there early in the night) who probably left around 10pm charged me for the drink, and added something that said "$3 up" i brushed it off and still tipped. Next bartender (a different man) made my next one, and charged me just for the drink? I explained to him the last bartender charged me more, and he kind of just said "oh yeah he's not supposed to do that technically" and that was it. Didn't even offer to refund it or anything seriously? $10 for a small cocktail and then pick and choose when to tack on an extra $3? It's not about the money, it's about the principal. Not sure if i'll be coming back here after that, because the last time i was here i noticed more charged to my card when i checked my bank statement the next day.. Other than that, music and dancing was pretty good the last time i went, this time it was not nearly as good, and the bartenders (intentionally or not? i'm not sure. ) may very well definitely up charge you under your nose. that irked me. but pros- the drink was good and strong, the inside is nicely decorated, and was fairly clean as well. read more

I came here first because of the architecture, came back because a favorite musical artist was playing here. This place like maybe holds 100 people, maybe?! We met the artist, interacted with him because we were 6 feet from the stage. We ate dinner here and it was really good. I had the naked wings and had blue cheese dressing and a small salad, boyfriend had a burger. The bar looked like fun. I highly recommend this place. Shout out to Jake who was really helpful and friendly! read more

Went in for some life music on a Sunday night and met friends for dinner before the show. The place is pretty classic with taxidermy of all sorts and a somewhat upscale yet historic feel. The bartender was nice enough but slow as molasses, but was just about always smiling. The food, BBQ flare forward, was tasty. Hubby got the smashburger and it was good. I got the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on it. Tasted even better once I added some of the housemade BBQ sauce. Really good chonky fries. And super fun music. We'll be back! read more

Omg the BBQ melts in your mouth, Mac n cheese is Devine , best blue cheese dressing and wings I've ever had. Music was great and staff super fun read more

The bartender was covering the entire bar and all the tables and she managed to stay on top of it all. Great atmosphere and cool design.

Let's start by saying most of the staff here are RUDE and act as they are better than you! The people at the entrance are stuck up and make you feel stupid for no reason! They should be happy they have a job and should take a customer service class or two. The bartenders look unhappy, stressed and frustrated. The drink I ordered was watered down and not very good. Now let me tell you about the DJ and the awesome music he played! He was so good! Mind you the people dancing in the club pretty much made every song a line dance lol. It was cool to be around all these fun loving patrons having fun, enjoying themselves and having a really nice place to just hang out and dance. I did appreciate having the security staff there. They're very nice and respectful and they are pretty much the only ones that made this place feel acceptable.. kudos to the security I would love to return soon, and hopefully most of the staff will be in a better mood and make you feel more welcomed! read more

We read that the smash burgers here were delicious so we popped in for lunch and my 35 year old son said it was the best tasting burger he has ever eaten! A new restaurant owner and chef has taken over and is now making this historic hotel's new menu filled with delicious smoked goodness and breakfast choices 7 days a week. The bar area is the authentic saloon style with a great selection of spirits- I had the best margarita on the rocks, that I've had in years! They have live music on weekends and a backyard style patio for dining as weather permits. Friendly and great service. This is a "must go to" in this beautiful old town of Folsom on Sutter. And a free parking lot close by. We're definitely looking forward to coming back soon. read more

Came to Old Folsom on Mother's Day because the moms and kids needed a bathroom break, and Myron convinced us to stay for food. I had no idea they offered brunch, but honestly, this place has one of the best brunch menus in Sac county. Tim was an amazing server, the kids had a blast on the back patio, and the entire experience was fantastic. Having worked in the service industry before, I know Mother's Day is one of the busiest days of the year, so it was impressive how well everything was handled. Dale was the cook and everything we ate was amazing. Mac and cheese brisket was probably the best Mac and cheese I've had in a restaurant. Chicken and waffles, fire. Loco moco perfections. I honestly can't believe more people don't know they do brunch here because it was absolutely worth every penny. Great food, great atmosphere, and a full bar too. Definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Smokin good menu! Dropped in for a quick bite before heading out for the evening. Ordered the Smashburger for him, the shredded pork tacos with spicy bbq sauce for me, and shared the smoked mac with brisket. The burger was thick double patties, melty american cheese, lettuce, tomatoes with a classic spread. Thick cut steak fries and crisp pickle spears complemented the burger. The pulled pork tacos featured tender chunks of smoked pork, pickled red onions, and coleslaw in a warm tortilla. Ask for an extra side of bbq sauce. You'll be glad you did. Finally, dig into the smoked mac and cheese topped with brisket. The green onions add a subtle freshness to the otherwise creamy cheesey combo. It is evident the chef knows his stuff, the bar and waitstaff are friendly and the atmosphere inviting. read more

I really wanted to like the Folsom Hotel, especially given its historic charm, but the experience is consistently disappointing. The staff always seem unhappy to be there--service feels rushed, unfriendly, and unwelcoming. Even when the place is nearly empty (I'm talking 4:30 in the afternoon), they're out of basic drink ingredients like limes, oranges, and cherries for Old Fashioneds, not to mention short on glassware and even ice. I've actually been asked to reuse the same glass or the same "big rock" ice cube for my next drink... seriously? It makes me wonder who's running the place that these basic supplies aren't stocked before opening. This isn't just a one-off; I've noticed the same issues over and over again, and to think that this place is under the same ownership as Goldfield's in Sacramento and Roseville. What really crosses the line is the band cover charge policy. On multiple occasions, I've come in at 5 PM to have a couple of drinks--spending nearly $100 between two people--only to be told by 7 PM that I need to pay a $25 cover per person to stay, even if I'm not there for the band. On a Sunday evening, no less. That's not just bad customer service; it's downright tacky. If you want to win back customers, here's a suggestion: * Stock your bar before opening so basic supplies are never an issue. * Train staff to engage warmly--attitude matters. * Offer a grace period for patrons who came in earlier and have already spent good money. Maybe stamp their hand or give a drink tab minimum that counts toward the cover. The Folsom Hotel could be a fantastic spot with its location and history, but until there's a major shift in how it's managed, it's hard to recommend. read more

I went to a concert here last night and the sound was mixed well and the service was quick. However, my boyfriend's drink (Moscow Mule) was pretty far off and they charge $25 for a Truly. Just a regular Truly. Either the bartender mixed up the card/order or this is the most overpriced bar in California. read more

We just came for an after farmers market cocktail and some live music. The guitarist played popular songs that you could sing along to. Drink prices are reasonable. It's self seating. Normally I sit at the bar but there were 3 of us so we grabbed a table. They have a nice patio and allow dogs. Burgers looked good but we didn't eat. read more

Yummy food! Got the dam bleu burger. It's good if you love stinky cheese, which I do! The garlic fries were an extra $3, but they were also yummy-- beer battered fries are the way to go Drinks are reasonably priced- $8 for a beer, $12 Long Island ice tea We went because there's trivia night on Tuesdays at 7 and it wasn't very busy! Plenty of parking. Only downside is there wasn't any AC, so it was pretty warm. There was a slight breeze with the doors open, but I imagine it would be very hot in the summer. Overall will be back! read more

Good bartenders drinks aren't sugared down great whiskey sour. Smash burger is a lot of food for the hungry one. Tacos, we tried the pork, were well worth coming back for, don't think Mexican authentic which is wonderful, but think pulled pork with a BBQ sauce that hints chipotle. Brisket macaroni and cheese is a star and nicely smoked. Great atmosphere we ate at the bar to be more social and enjoy the entire experience. Got recommendations from customers and staff. read more

The bartender tonight was rude, rude, rude. Get over yourself! Treated the headlining band and the people who came to see them like shit. No touring acts should bother with this small-town small-minded venue. Or, replace your staff. Will never be back. If you're a band considering this venue, try to get into the Crazy Horse Saloon in Nevada City instead. It's a little more out of the way, but they are professionals who treat talent and fans with respect. read more

Great food a little loud at times. The service was fantastic! We will definitely come back.

Alexandria was absolutely amazing! She was super sweet with such a fun, welcoming vibe and worked incredibly fast even when the bar was busy. She made sure my whole group was having a great time from start to finish. On top of that she makes an excellent cosmopolitan which is honestly hard to come by at this bar. We were so impressed that I even gave her my contact info to bartend my friend's wedding. Highly recommend Alexandria if you want great drinks and even better service! read more

A fun place to hangout, but there is a feeling of dread each time we return. $20 entry cost per person on weekend nights. DJ this most recent time played about 30 less than superior songs with many repeats throughout the night. In our three hour stay we heard the DJ use the "Damn son where'd you find this" button no less than 50 times. Obnoxious. Drinks are fairly expensive, and the location could use a busser or two to cleanup after its customers. Very dirty sticky floor with trash throughout the location. Bathrooms have a constant 20-30 minute wait Friday-Sunday, which is inexcusable for a location that sells alcohol. Two port-a-potty's out front would easily solve the issue. Have seen very violent fights occur at this location, but this most recent trip was one without altercation. We want to like this place as it has a great history and is one of the better spots for nightlife in the general area, but it needs some serious changes in the near future. For other local reviews or travel content, you can find us on most socials @sunsetourist read more

Nice lunch here. As it is in old town Sutter Street, we enjoyed the man dressed up as an old school sheriff. He visited us and chatted with us ad made us feel welcome. Burgers great. Live music was good. It was difficult to get a drink and order food at the bar. Regulars seemed to get faster service at the bar. Took off a star for that. The food was brought out by wonderful staff. If you like hot sauce, ask for it. They had a couple of different, amazing hot sauce. Just ask! read more

We didn't eat here but the drinks were great with really fun bar staff. Loved the atmosphere and Country music

The new menu at the restaurant is great! I got the pulled pork tacos, so good! Definitely going back soon.

Tim the bartender was atrocious!!! The ladies behind the bar were on point and catered to our party that was there with our band who was headlining. However, when the entire bar staff turned over the pours were half the amount they were earlier in the evening and we could no longer even get water with our drinks. Tim told us we would basically have to go outside to get water and it was pouring down rain all the while we were drinking $50 pours of bourbon and so many other craft cocktails. From 6:30 to 9pm the staff was amazing and drinks were perfect (i travel the globe in search of great cocktails) After that Tim was serving us and it was horrible to the point we decided to go elsewhere once the band finished. Tim's horrible customer service and inability to make a simple margarita was disappointing to say the least. I hope ownership reads this and explains to Tim what it takes to run a bar. Kudos to the lovely ladies prior to that. I hope you were the ones who got my tip! read more

This bar is really no fun unless you are born and raised in Folsom. Bartenders aren't too friendly and it's a lot of what you see in Folsom, snobby, the " I was popular" in high school workers behind the bar / security. Folsom really needs to do better. This place isn't fun unless you are super drunk. Crowded dance floor of entitled kids. Dirty looks from entitled bartenders. Sutter street has gone downhill. I'd only be going to the steakhouses ( sutter steakhouse / Scott's seafood ) for drinks and then take my friends to Roseville/orangeville/downtown! read more

I may have to give this place another try when it's not so hot, but there was no A/C in this place and our whole group was sweating the entire time we were there. The drinks were basic and served in plastic cups. I kinda get it because they corn hole in the back, but we all ordered one drink and left in search of better drinks and A/C. read more

Used to love this bar. The last couple times I've paid for drinks on my credit card and tipped cash, the greedy blonde bartenders have helped themselves to an extra tip on my card. Thanks so much guys! I have a feeling that this might have been going on for a very long time and I have only just started catching on. I love having to call my credit card company after the last couple weekends! read more

Had a great date night here with my husband. We got there a little too late to get food but the bartender gave us some suggestions of where to go. We ended up eating across the street and came back. This bar has a lot of personality for sure. The mounted animals on the wall were pretty interesting. We were Google image searching the portraits on the bar wall and found a lot of the men were outlaws with some pretty interesting stories. The service was very friendly and the drinks were a great price. We stayed long enough for the place to turn into a club. Country music is always a good time so we stayed even longer to enjoy some dancing before heading home. Our date started at 6pm and ended around 12am. read more
