    Playing trivia with the big screen.
    Lynne M.

    Nice bartender that made a great old fashioned. Fun free trivia game to join and play on your smart phone in combination with a big screen. Came for a local band that was rockin the joint. It was a good time.

    One of the few places open on Christmas Eve ... AND Bingo to boot! Very cool staff and bartender working hard to ensure all of us were well served and had a great time.

    Over cooked
    Micki M.

    We were out on a bar crawl looking for a karaoke bar. We were in Old Roseville at a bar there but there was an MMA fight going on and it was noisy. So we did a quick search on Yelp and Jan's Lounge popped up. Now our friends had come here before and wanted us to check it out since we had never been. Plus, they serve food and that was a plus. The place is ok, it has a large bar and lots of tables and a decent stage area. We ordered our drinks and ordered food as well. The food did take some time and when our first order of chicken strips and fries came out, we were quite shocked. It was burnt and dry. Then my friends pepperoni pizza came out and that was over cooked! I ordered wings too and guess what? That was dry and over cooked as well. We all agreed the cook needs to change the oil because it tasted like it. Although we were bummed about the food, we were having a great time singing and playing shuffleboard. Everyone was having a great time until one guy got into it with a customer, then the bartender, he gets kicked out. The same guy walks back in minutes later and apologizes to the bartender. Moments after that, the guy's buddy ends up getting in an argument with a guy. The biker guy is telling another guy to STFU but the guy who kept mouthing off is clearly too intoxicated to know better. Then I see the biker guy punch the drunk guy and that guy falls down in almost SLO MO. It was quite scary because the biker guy didn't stop even after the guy was down. So I grab my friend and have her come with me away from the action. After that incident, we ended up leaving as the cops came. After the bad food and the fight, I doubt we would ever go back. Disappointing since the karaoke was entertaining!

Clean bathroom for adults and also includes a changing area for babies. Snacks available for purchase. Everything always seems clean and inviting. The adults are either friendly and welcoming or at minimum, polite and just interacting with their own kids. An excellent option for indoor play on hot or rainy days.

We walk in an we are immediately amazing at how beautiful the inside of the building is and to know this building is historic and well maintained is pure perfection. We were greeted my a male bartender who got us waters and then we were ultimately served by the female bartender who helped us. We wanted her to make us custom bring and we asked her to surprise us. The only question she asked is what our preferred alcohol of choice was. I went with Tequila and my friend Gin. I have no clue what she made either on of us, but baby when I tell you my cocktail was fantastic! This bartender didn't come to play, she is the absolute truth. My drink had a little kick to it which was good with a smoky taste with a hint of fruit flavor. It's like nothing I had before, but I would ask for it again. I'm glad I took a photo lol. The service was great both bartenders were so cool, welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend checking them out!

My friend had a tequila drink and she liked hers as well. The decor is aesthetically pleasing- it's like being in a cabin and I like the back lighting as well, everything comes together to make for a cozy setting. They offer food too so I'd like to return to try out some apps in addition to some signature drinks next time. The other bartender who served us was great as well; congrats to him for being recently promoted to bartender! I'm looking forward to taking more friends here and exploring more drinks. Thanks!

The Vine is in Old Folsom across from restaurants and bars, making it an ideal spot to possibly start a girls night or date night at if you wanted to walk around after. It's a cute cozy wine spot with a nice selection to choose from. When we got here it was initially empty but soon people started to trickle in. The worker was really nice, we were able to sample different wines, and he was helpful in answering questions we had. The inside is clean, there's bar seating, tables, a small couch area, and seats in the window if you wanna people watch.

We decided to get a wine flight: I got the Rosé flight, and my friends got the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir flight. For tapas, we decided to split the Tuscany Hummus Bruschetta, Hot Honey Cheese Balls, and the Caramelized Onion, Goat Cheese Flatbread. There were a decent amount of vegetarian options to choose from. Wines were delicious and very smooth. The presentation of the food was great and it tasted flavorful and fresh. Since it is tapas style, the portion size is small. The bill with tip came out to be $120 which we felt was a bit steep for the three of us considering the small portion sizes and the fact that we left the restaurant still feeling a little hungry. This would be a great date spot and I would consider coming back for happy hour.

There's three rooms/bar areas that each play different music and have a different vibe going on. The cover is typically $20 and they do have an atm on site you can use. One of the bars is cash only the others take card. Usually my friends and I go to the zombie room because the bartender there is super nice and makes really yummy fruity drinks. This room has tons of neon paint and funky decor, it's also where they have live music playing and an upstairs area you can sit in. The other areas are indoor/outdoor and they have seats outside on the front and back patio you can sit and smoke at. Depending on a lot of factors you might love it or might not. There's a big mix of people you'll meet here and there are some interesting individuals you'll meet. For the most part the music is decent, lots of space to dance, good drinks, and you can definitely make it more fun with a great group of people.
