Whenever I have friends visiting Sacramento I always take them here because it is a hidden treasure with really affordable prices and they can really make you any kind of drinks that you request if they have the ingredients here. . I love the Ambiance because it is history here and I do love the locations where it is in the alleyway in Old Sacramento which is really amazing. . I usually get the menu items that they recommend like a French 75 to a margarita and pina colada and Mai Tai and more. They have really great quality drinks and the price is really reasonable like for example my French 75 was only $10. . They also serve food until 2:00 a.m. in the morning where usually places stop serving around 1:30 a.m. . I really like coming here to eat and have really great drinks and visit with friends too. Some of the food that we order is their burgers which is really legit and it comes with french fries. I also got some of their loaded fries which was really yummy. Overall hope this review helps and thank you for reading and have a yelpastic day. read more

Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 3/5 Drinks: 3/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: 4/5 First time coming by this iconic bar in Old Sacramento. Came by on a Monday afternoon. Michael was the bartender, and he was really kind and personable. The space itself is a large basement style area with variety of seating and pool tables with an outdoor patio area. Order directly at the bar for your food and drinks. Overall? It was perfectly average. read more

Honey and The Trapcat did not disappoint at all!! The dude and I love themed cocktail bars, so this was an easy yes after the Mob Museum. The energy was poppin, the space was moody and intentional, and the cocktails were well-crafted and memorable. We only had time for one drink because the power kept going out and the building had to be evacuated but even then, the staff handled it professionally and efficiently. Everyone was taken care of, payments were handled smoothly, and there was zero chaos despite the situation. Didn't get a chance to try the food this time, but it's absolutely on our return list. Strong drinks, great vibe, competent staff. We'll definitely be back. read more

This place is terrible food too salty staff seems lost ordering food takes over an hour just to eat no phone orders even if they're not busy. read more

I love the atmosphere. Very rustic vibes and ample amount of seating. They have outdoor seating with heaters outside, but we chose to sit inside. Their menu and drinks are posted on the wall by the main bar. You order at the bar first and then you choose to sit whereever you'd like. They give you a number to place on the table and they deliver your food to the table. For appetizers, we ordered the Asparagus Fries and the Rolled Tacos. Both were good but the asparagus fries were my favorite. The Rolled tacos were a little plain, but when you dipped it in the sauce, it tasted much better. I ordered the Hot Mess Hot Chicken Sandwich. It comes with a side of fries. There wasn't anything special about the fries, but the chicken sandwich was delicious. It actually had a spicy kick to it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the buffalo sauce they used was very good! I would definitely order again. read more

Fun underground Bar and restaurant, service was good and drink prices are good value. There is a back patio that is such a great atmosphere, also seating inside plus a side area with a couple pool tables, touch tunes incase you'd like to listen to anything in particular. Andrew was the back Bar bartender and was great!!! Very attentive and new to the area so go say Hi. They have food I did not eat this time but a lot of people were. read more

They want to be only a bar but have to pretend to be a restaurant too to keep their license. I came by during the st Patrick's parade on Saturday afternoon and there was no seating, no food menus and no wait staff. If you only have bartenders and only serve drinks, you are just a bar. read more

This was my first time coming here i had walked by several times but never stopped in, but looked at their menu outside of the establishment and the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries caught my eye so i decided to go in. I was greeted by Joshua a very polite friendly bartender, he was very knowledgeable of the menu and drinks i happened to by chance come in at their happy hour got a tecate he rimmed it with tajin and a lime it was so good and refreshing. I didn't have to wait very long for my meal it was so delicious I will be back to try their famous carne asada fries they marinate the meat its made from scratch im here for that. The place is huge three different bars with different seating areas even an outside patio the decor is awesome and inviting if you're in the area stop by also they stay open until 2am thats something we need in old sac for sure. read more

I finally tried this place out today after always hearing about them. The ambiance is like a nice underground bar/pub. The service was friendly at the bar but it took what felt like a long time to receive my food when they weren't busy at all. I got their spicy guac burger which was really good while my relative got one of their chicken sandwiches. We both enjoyed the entrees and fries we got. We were disappointed in the rolled tacos we got which tasted like delimex frozen taquitos you buy in grocery stores and Costco. I'll have to give them another try and order a drink after seeing frozen beverages as well as a decent cocktail menu. I'd personally stay away from some of their appetizers and only get a sandwich or burger if you're hungry though. read more

Total dive bar vibes but not a bad thing. Lots of space to meet up with friends. Pool tables and shuffle board as well. Service was a tad slow with one bartender but it was a Thursday so I'm sure they weren't fully staffed. Didn't have any food while there. read more

A vibe!!! I've been here a few times and love this dive bar in old sac! You go in and go downstairs which I think is unique! They have pool tables, good music and two different bars! They also serve food.. although I've never eaten here! They have a huge outdoor patio in the back! Most recently I tried the spicy marg! Made perfectly! This place is like a trendy cute dive bar! read more

What a hidden gem! This place is HUGE and has a lot going on, from pool to shuffleboard to a lovely outside patio. There are multiple bars and a full service kitchen, and each room kinda has a different vibe to it. Joshua was our mixologist when we were there, and he KILLED it. We didn't have a cocktail menu but he was able to expertly make everything we asked for, and did the same for other customers. I had one of the best Bees Knees ever, in addition a lovely White Linen and expertly crafted Old Fashioned. The food was delicious, classic american. The smokey pesto chicken sandwich was a highlight, but my wife enjoyed the spicy guac burger as well. We'll definitely be back here to try out new cocktails and food! read more

Came here with a late night burger craving.. was pleasantly surprised with it. This place looks a bit like a divey pub and I've found hit and miss food at places like that, but the burger here actually was solid. I got the bacon guac one. Lots of bacon and guac to add a ton of savory flavor and the beef was pretty meaty and cooked well. Only thing I thought could be improved was the bun. Fries were okay. Staff and other patrons were quite friendly. I brought my dog and was able to sit out on the patio with him. read more

Went here for my friend's birthday, we've been a couple times now. This place is always hit or miss depending on the crowd and overall vibe. This time it was definitely more poppin', but unfortunately, I just wasn't feeling great and wasn't vibing with the scene. That said, shoutout to the female bartender near the outside bar, super sweet and made a great drink. The better energy was outside for sure. We ended up ordering some food (gotta soak up that alcohol somehow), and I have to say, it was actually pretty good for a little bar kitchen. The location is cool, right in downtown Old Sacramento. There are two entrances: the upper level one takes you downstairs, and then there's the back entrance that leads through a good-sized outdoor patio, which is a fun spot to hang out too. I'll be back at some point, I'm sure. So if you're looking for a solid bar with different areas to chill in, plenty of space, and that laid back dive bar feel, Honey and the Trapcat is worth checking out. read more

The food was really good and their bartenders are super awesome! Pricing is very reasonable. They have a lot of indoor and outdoor space, but the outdoor space was a lot more comfortable. Inside had a dark wood, dim vibe. More open space for standing than for seating. My only complaint is the cleanliness. Their bathroom really needs attention. Also, their business is downstairs. I don't know if they have an elevator, but you can enter through their back / outdoor entrance too. I think I prefer that entrance more! read more

In search of a revolving signature drink menu, custom cocktails or late-night bites, Honey comes in clutch every time! I love the underground layout, and how there are different rooms and 3 bars to settle up at, as well as the pool tables and the effort they make in occasionally catering to local event crowds with themed drinks and playlists. The stars are the staff as well as the drinks, made with creative ingredients and at a reasonable price point. A must-try is the breakfast burger. They serve food till 2 a.m. too, which is hard to find in Sac (at a bar at least). Cheers! read more

Bathrooms were so disgusting, I couldn't even use them. Pesto sandwich wasn't great but not the worst, not enough pesto. Honestly I won't go back because if the bathrooms are that gross I can't imagine what else is like that in there. Cool location and back patio tho, if you don't need to use the bathroom. read more

Honey and the Trapcat serves your classic bar food, but we genuinely enjoyed everything we ordered. We went around 5 p.m., and it was still pretty quiet--seems like the after-work crowd rolls in later. The place is spacious, divided into three sections, with music playing in the background. It definitely has a fun, laid-back vibe. I ordered a turkey burger, and honestly, it was one of the best I've had. Turkey burgers can sometimes taste too much like turkey and not enough like a burger, but this one nailed the balance. I also got a fried vegetable--can't remember which one--but it mostly just tasted like fried breading with a hint of veggie. My friends liked their meals too. I'd absolutely go back. read more

Thanks Chef Bentley and the bar/ staff. Stopped in for a burger. My little guy is super picky and they accommodated that special order on a burger. Really enjoyed the Hot Mess Hot Chicken sandwich. Fries and everything was fresh and tasty!!!! read more

Out of all the Old Sac bars, this would be the one to avoid, definitely a tourist trap. I brought my MIL here when she was visiting for mother's day, and the food took over 45 minutes and tasted like overcooked cafeteria food. Drinks were also mediocre and overpriced. I overheard a conversation between two coworkers about some shadiness coming from management. No one seemed happy to be there. I read in a previous review that this place can get dangerous in the evenenings, so I made sure to come early, but we were still harassed by transient folks in their patio section. With so many better options nearby, I wouldn't dare recommend this place to someone I cared about. read more

Super chill energy here. Everyone I talked to was friendly without doing too much, and the vibe was a mix of laid-back and intentional. Didn't buy anything big, but I appreciated how patient and genuine the staff were. Definitely a good spot to stop by if you're in the area. read more

Food is garbage now and the bartenders there other than jason are the worst under qualified ppl ever in any bar

I stopped here for dinner after a day at Sacramento Comic Con. I found this place, so decided to give it a try. The staff was very friendly and answered all my questions about the menu. The fries themselves were quite good. The cheese was nice and melted, and the fries were nice and crispy. The meat, which I think was made from hamburger patty, had an amazing taste. read more

My very first time and at Honey And The Trapcat my first impressions was aww it's a cool spot. It wasn't too busy at the bar, I Evan considered ordering an appetizer that is until I used the restroom it was so filthy, completely trashed.

I always have the best experience when Emily is working!! She's my favorite bartender in Old Sacramento/maybe even in Sacramento!! She's makes the most amazing cocktails and has such a presence that makes me feel like a friend. I've started coming here more because of the vibes here and honestly because of her. Definitely recommend ! read more

Came in on a Thursday night and was immediately greeted by the bartender who just handed us a menu and asked if we were ordering food, we said no thank you and were already ready to order our drinks but before we could, the bartender ran off and proceeded to ignore us for over 20 minutes. Someone new came up to the bar next to us and the same bartender ignoring us went ahead and took his order first. Extremely irritating and tested out patience to the fullest extent. We've been to a lot of bars and restaurants, I manage a restaurant, and the way the bartenders run it here, it's with very little competence and efficiency. 100 thumbs down. read more

Honey And The Trapcat - Paloma with Tequila - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

Cutest little space to play pool with the girls! They also have a super yummy Paloma!

I have been going to Honey & the Trapcat for years and always loved it; it's the ONLY bar in Sacramento that actually serves good quality food, late at night. But last night I had a totally bad experience with my food order, and no longer see this business in the same light. I won't say I'll never be back, but I'll definitely think twice before I order food. Basically, I was with a group of friends and ordered some Asada fries. They were taking forever to come out. My boyfriend went to go check on the order with the kitchen, and they lost my order! The man in the kitchen apologized, and said that the fries would be out shortly, AND that they would add on something else for free for my trouble. I was very happy with this offer, and was ready to forget the whole situation. I went up to the guy and asked for a second order of Asada fries, for my free order. The guy said, "no problem! Come back in 3 minutes and they'll be ready." (I also let my friends kill the remainder of my fries because I was under the assumption that I was getting a second order in a few minutes.) I was seated where I could see the kitchen window, so I would be able to see the fries when they were ready. I waited 3 minutes, then closer to 5, and then when it was pushing 10 minutes, I went up there to the window again. This time there was a woman, and I told her about my situation. The second order of fries was lost, (and it was not on the order screen either). She told me she needed to go check with her manager. Then, she found me a few minutes later, and told me to go check with THE BAR??!! Literally what does the bar have ANYTHING to do with my order? Those bartenders were slinging drinks all night, they would not have an answer for me over there. Also, why is it MY job to GO CHECK with the bar??! Why couldn't she do it? I'm already running around just simply trying to get my food that I ordered. Needless to say, it was a total mess. It felt like none of the workers were in communication, and they were expecting me to solve it (while I'm just trying to have a night out with friends). It had been at least 30-40+ minutes total for this whole ordeal. My friends were ready to call it a night, and I didn't feel like checking with the bar or the kitchen 5 more times, or waiting 20 more minutes for fries. So we left. I felt like no one was taking accountability or making it right. And even worse, they were trying to direct me around the whole facility to solve their problems for them. read more

Get the Paloma, Michelada , and any food. Highly recommended . This is my spot to go on my weekends
