The food was phenomenal. Definitely have to have a liking for the raw sushi. The service was over the top. And the ambiance was giving classy cute! Over all exceeded my expectations read more

Holy spirits is right next to Lowbrau, where Block Butcher used to be. Although it's connected to Lowbrau, but definitely has a low dim light, date vibe. I heard Chef Lou formers Lou's sushi is making the sushi here and they do pop ups, but today I came for a burger special. I also got a whiskey bourbon cocktail and a gimlet, both drinks were good and well made. The burger was juicy and good quality meat, pickle was good as well. My fries were just okay. The food came fast and service was decent. There is not a lot of space, so felt a little crammed with a table of 4. They also automatically add a 15% gratuity so beware so not overtipping. Overall, a solid choice for cocktails. read more

The food is AMAZING. The hand rolls are made with quality fish and fresh ingredients and you can genuinely taste the difference. Don't skip out on either the Albacore Carpacio or the Sicilian Sashimi -- the sauce is perfect for dipping your maki or hand rolls in! The cocktails are citrus forward, not overly sweet and there are plenty to choose from. The service is equally as great! Chef Lou and the bartenders are knowledgeable and easy to chat with. Can't wait to bring my in-laws! read more

Food was ok, but I did not like that the gratuity was automatic. Not interested in returning.

Their handrolls are absolutely phenomenal. The space is a vibe. The drinks and service are unmatched. 20/10.

PSA: no one under 21 is allowed Even if it's 3 pm on a super slow Sunday with only one other customer. If you have kids with you, go to Low Brau. read more

One of my favorite bars in Sacramento! It's very relaxed and low-key - I like that I am always able to walk in and find a seat at the bar or at a seated table. There usually is a rotating menu as well with interesting/unique cocktails. I always find something new on the menu that I want to try! The drinks aren't too sweet either, which is hard to find sometimes; everything is well balanced. If cocktails aren't your jam, they have a huuuuge wall of spirits you can try + flights of liquor you can purchase as well (ie tequila or whiskey). Only downside is that sometimes the bathroom line can get long when it's really busy at Lowbrau since they share the same restroom. Otherwise, it's a great bar + super close to the Tack Room, so I often pair the 2 together. I typically don't come here for food, but I've had the karaage and the spicy tuna handroll and enjoyed them. They also add an automatic 15% gratuity so that makes the checkout process so much faster. read more

Holy Spirits - Dance of Verdance - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

I don't think I've ever left a five star review ever in my life, but I will never forget this one. Just like I will never forget this restaurant/bar. The food was the best I have ever tasted the secret shrimp and the sushi nachos. how could you ever forget something so amazing? It will haunt you. It was so good. The service was absolutely out of this world, the chef so kind so sweet so humble. The ambience and the decor is absolutely perfect. I want to see this place booming for years. it was so amazing. I'm sure that I sound at this point like they're paying me to leave this over the top review, but honestly, I can't say enough good things. I will be sharing this with all of my friends and I hope every person gets an opportunity to go!!! Shout out to corpse survivor cocktail!! Refreshing alcohol, alcoholic lemonade in a martini glass with a twist!! Wish I had taken pictures because everything was so amazing. We got the cucumber salad, the secret shrimp, the sushi nachos, the Alvo salmon and the albacore carpaccio. Nothing disappointed!!! read more

Great happy hour. Good ambience and lighting. Fish is always high quality. Chef Lou is famous in Sacramento. Glad we could find him again.

The food was absolutely amazing! Service was super friendly, attentive, and some of the best albacore we've had in our lives. 10/10 would come back. read more

Solid cocktails and hand rolls with a nice quaint atmosphere. Enjoyable staff. Sit at the bar and talk to your mixologist.

New cocktail/bottle shop in Lavender Heights. The location is great, very walkable from anywhere in Midtown. I personally loved the aesthetic- the ambiance of the wall lights, the Skagerak stools, the paper lanterns, and slatted bar- it all came together to create a very relaxed "Japandi" vibe. We showed up early and were one of few parties inside, but the bar filled up quickly. Once packed, the space became very echoey and it was a bit difficult to carry on conversation. We loved each of the cocktails we got, and agreed they were complex in flavor profile. My only gripe was that they seemed to be low in alcohol content. The Fantasmas was cool and refreshing, It's a Sin had a nice warm flavor, and Hanging Garden was smooth and tart. Excited to try other creations next time. read more

Quaint, classy bar vibe with delicious food and drinks/cocktails. We had both mushroom menu items(handroll and steamed) and we're blown away how good they were. The handrolls were wonderful? Hyped up their happy to others already. Left full, happy, and impressed. Service was kind, attentive, and easy going. read more

Located next to Low Brau in the former Butcher Block, this is a great place to grab a craft cocktail. The bartenders and staff were all very friendly and the drinks were well balanced. Unlike Butcher Block and Low Brau, this bar does not serve any food, so don't come hungry (or check out Low Brau first). I can see this location being one of my favorite cocktail spots here in Sac and in the heart of the Lavender District, this is a great spot to grab a drink with friends. read more

Holy Spirits found it's calling. Ramen oasis is the genre that I'm naming it. Let me walk you through it. Quick tangent: Sacramento residents have a bad habit of relying on what they know. I'm guilty of that as well. Trying new things sounds tedious to me. So I stick with my circuit: Tres, Pizzasaurus, Lowbrau... then home. Okay, maybe back to Pizzasaurus for a late night slice... Sorry, back to business. I'm glad that I ventured into Holy Spirits tonight. TBH, I was going to pop into Lowbrau to get a Chicken Cesar to go, but the bar looked pretty busy. I was greeted by Mateo and Mike at the entrance to the bottle shop where they asked me if I had been in yet. I have, but only for a couple of the pop-up events and not for the Ramen. They welcomed me to try it and I explained that I was hoping to just do an order to go. "We can do that"... music to my ears. If you know me, you know I love Ramen (you can find a previous review for Toki Underground in Washington DC-- my favorite restaurant in all of DC). But we're in sac, so I need a closer ramen spot and I found it! I get ushered to the bar where Ben greets me with an amazing smile (you know that smile when someone is genuinely happy to see you?... yeah that's the one...so things are getting pretty serious...). I'm looking through the menu and he pours me a glass of water. Not a huge menu, but they know what they are doing. I ordered the following: Salad: 5/5 stars- light and delicious! Fried Mushrooms: 5/5 stars- the flavor is complimented by the dipping sauce Edamame: 5/5 stars... literally can't mess that up, right? Fried Chicken: 555/5 stars... that's not a typo... the Holy Spirit (see what I did there?) touched me with this chicken. No dipping sauce needed. I can only think of one thing more moist, but this is a family rating app, so I'll just say that this chicken was fried to perfection with the juiciest most flavorful chicken I've ever had. I would have ordered the actual ramen if I was dining in, but I will update my review when I return to enjoy the food, atmosphere, and people when I'm not being a hermit. The value is ridiculous. Fairly priced is an understatement. To sum things up: Food: delicious Atmosphere: oasis Staff: amazing It's giving 'Midtown Staple'. But it cannot become a staple until you do like I did and break the cycle of comfortability and branch out to try new things. You will not be disappointed. Lastly, the to go bag!!! Remember going shopping at the mall as a teen and you got the biggest bag from Abercrombie so everyone knew you shopped there and you put all of the other bags from other stores in the big bag? This to go bag is the Abercrombie bag of to go bags.... Just trust me. 5/5 would recommend. See you next time!!! read more

Holy Spirits - What a treat!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

Went here to try the sushi menu, which is by Chef Lou - it was excellent. We got the salmon avocado dish, tuna tataki, agadashi tofu, karaage, seafood nachos. All were A+ on flavor, creativity, presentation. In the top 3 japanese / sushi experiences in Sac for sure. The cocktails were great too. read more

Rating 4.0 TLDR: Nice cocktail bar right next to LowBrau. Good cocktails, at least for what my friend and I tried. Most were decently priced. The ambiance was good, and the bartender was friendly. Still new, so I'd come here again. read more

This place is truly special. Not only are the cocktails delicious, but the food from Chef Lou is some of the best hand rolls and sushi we've had, and we've had plenty. He clearly takes pride in his creations and it shows. We ordered the albacore carpaccio and the fish was very fresh, the sauce was unique and perfectly balanced, and the serving was generous. We also ordered the sunomono salad, which was easily the best version of this salad I've ever tasted. Again, so fresh and perfectly balanced flavor and texture. Finally, we each order the marinated tuna handroll, salmon handroll, and spicy scallop handroll. We discussed which was our favorite and they were all so good we couldn't decide! read more

Absolutely amazing. Drinks were delicious. Service was impeccable. Chef Lou made incredible dishes. Brought them out to our table himself. Super friendly. Def will be back very soon. The look and ambiance was small and intimate. Loved that perfect for date night. read more

Great ambiance and extensive cocktail menu. Beautiful intimate bar, fun spot to meet up with friends and conveniently located in midtown.

6pm on a Wednesday was the perfect time to go to Holy Spirits. It's been about a year since I've been so my partner and I went for our anniversary. Everything was amazing, the albacor was thick slices but buttery soft along with the sunomono and the Kara- gae. My partner doesn't eat sushi so having a burger on the daily specials got him in the door, and he finally tried the spicy marinated tuna hand roll and loved it. I got the hand roll trio. Lou never disappoints. We tried about 5 drinks between the 2 of us. We are both bartenders so we love trying new drinks, Jacob easily made some of the best drinks I have ever had in Sacramento. We both left blow away with the quality, the experience and a bottle of Blantons from the bottle shop. read more

Good drink menu, nice ambiance and friendly staff. Be aware though that they automatically add 15% gratuity. The lighting is dim so not at all easy to see this. As I was closing my tab I even asked the bartender what the total was as it was difficult to see and she never mentioned that a gratuity was already added. I would have happy added a little over the 15%, but was annoyed when I later realized I had tipped the 15% plus another 20%! read more

It pains me to say it, but this place attracts the same crowd as does LowBrau. Even though their concept is high-end cocktails, they are immediately adjacent to the loudest and most annoying bar/restaurant (besides Barwest) on the grid. It's going to suffer as a result by annoying the very demographic it seeks to attract. read more

Had a really great time on a Friday night. Nice vibe, amazing cocktails and they let you get food from Lobrau next door. They sell bottles of good, hard to find rum and bourbon. Cocktails are well balanced and some great original drinks along with a tiki menu. read more

Great spot for drinks and you can order food from lowbrau the restaurant next door. Awesome idea for a bar high end liquor but also regular drinks if that's your budget. A shot of Kohana white rum for me very good and shot of Madre mezcal espadin tequila also very good. Excited to return to try more. Decor guess I would say Japanese steam punk ? read more

Great selection of drinks + unique cocktails + their holy roller food events always smash. I am never disappointed.
