Nice relaxed ambiance. If the song Lay Lady Lay we're a bar, this would be it. Had the dolmas and the drunken portobellos, both were well crafted and tasty. read more

Excellent bar if you are looking for something cosy and small. Interior is full of victorian-age furniture and details. Also has small patio that is perfect for looking at the passing people and Fremont park. read more

Karma Brew - Small and cosy place. The interior is full of antique furniture and details. - Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

This place is quaint and fun to grab a sangria or cold adult beverage. Owner is very friendly and the food snacks are delicious!

First time here and was very happy with the service and the food was delicious. We ordered the hummus platter & dolmas! So yummy! Highly recommend. read more

I am in love. This place is tiny, eclectic, full of stained glass and Turkish silver trays, coffee sets and antiques, an insightful and esoteric tri-continental Iranian and British bartender (who is also an art director and photographer, with fantastic taste in vintage silver bracelets), smooth jazz with a "Girl from Ipanema" feel... Rough hewn planks for tables and benches, scattered with throw pillows, but mixed with old theater loges. Contrary to what the name would imply, it's not a coffee house, but a wine and beer bar with an interesting menu of small plates as well. For those in the know, think Mullahs with an urban storefront after dark. A playground for adults. This is my new office. read more

Went here when they had a bluegrass band called Stagecoast West playing. Super cute, small, intimate vibe. Will definitely be returning when the band comes through again. read more

From the first moment, I loved the place! The music was nice, and at a good volume for privacy- I think I heard French a lot? Nice pleasant yellow light and comfy tables. Drinks are in line with bar prices, and the cider was sweet without being too syrupy. The barkeep personally checked on us a few times. Their chicken panini was well worth it, especially with the pear-strawberry and dark salad mix. 5/5, would recommend, will come back! read more

This is the only European-style bar in Sacramento. No TVs, just classic vinyl, great people, conversation, tasty tapas, and really world-class beer. At most recent glance, some of the draught beer selection includes Allagash white, Boo Koo IPA, Cali Creamin (both by Mother Earth), Old Rasputin (nitro, of course), Pranqster golden ale, Autumn Maple by The Bruery, Karma Red Ale, Shark Attack Double Red Ale, Weinstephaner lager (the world's oldest brewery) and Allagash Curieux. Yes, on draught, and one of the tastiest beer's in the world. They're always updating their seasonal pours, too. The ideal place to relax in midtown. read more

Posted the group photo of four shot by the owner of Karma Brew. Ask him about his previous life in the photography world. Wonderful food, great vibe. Will be coming back!! read more

Karma Brew - This awesome photo was graciously shot by the owner of Karma Brew. - Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

Very nice cozy location. Walked by a lot and finally wanted to check it out. I like the eccentric vibe it has. Great selection of brews. Space can get a little tight but it was fun to grab a drink on our way to dinner with my lady. read more

I like this bar, I live pretty close so I go often, their drinks are really good, I just wish they play music sometimes. The atmosphere is great though. Their sangria is my favorite! read more

Little hole in the wall place that most people might overlook. Has a off street patio that overlooks Sacramento streets. Great Mediterranean appetizers and great beer. If you're in Sacramento, you should check this place out. read more

The menu is very interesting, I don't think there are a lot of places to eat those dishes. Tea is great. You can enjoy outside or inside. Even though it is very small, we never had a problem with space there. We have seen the manager (or maybe it was the owner) few times, and we can tell that he takes everything serious. They really do care about their customers. Also, the people that go there, are truly amazing!! We have met so many nice people there!! read more

Ohhhh schnap.. I wouldn't want to write this review of I lived here because this place is so frikin chill. Ii write this as I sip on a quad and listen to a reggae cover of pink Floyd. The inside of the bar has room for twenty it looks like, though there are only four inside. Incense is burning, Edison light bulbs are lightly illuminating the bar, the customers are putting down a relaxed, contented vibe to match the bars atmosphere, and I am drinking an absolutely delicipis quad, without all of the background noise that places not two blocks away have (I'm looking at you burgers and .... What ever the he'll you call yourself... Go there if you want crowds, noise and disinterested bartenders) come here for a truely relaxed experience with some chill people, good music, and great beer. Seriously, if I lived here I wouldn't say a word. But since I don't I owe it to this place . read more

Karma Brew is intimate, cozy, and plays the best music. With a quirky atmosphere and lots of attention to detail. The outside is unassuming (except for the few rad vintage bar seats and canopy bulb lighting) but once you enter, you are all of a sudden in another world. You half think this place shouldn't be inhabited by Muggles. But I digress. The Sangria is of course, on par and worth the meager $5. It's dusted with some sort of allspice/cinnamon/sugar concoction and it's basically Christmas in a cup! I loved the Old Rasputin beer as well. Tapas are excellent and served late into the night. Music is maybe a bit loud but all encompassing in the best possible way. Not to mention they have great taste. There is quite a pride in ownership overall and we will be returning more than once. read more

This place has it all, good location, good people, good beer. I don't go many places along but if I have time and I am nearby I will always stop in Karma. It reminds me of a bar in Prague, with the wood, old furniture, and record player manned by the bartender. They have an excellent and unique selection of drinks. Go try the beer cider, it's my favorite. You can have a few of those and not feel like a drunk. I have also seen the bartender let people bring in nearby food and chill with a drink. Overall it has a great "locals" vibe and you could even describe it as a bohemian dive bar. read more

This is a small cool, hippie type bar. Not a lot of section but what they do have is good! They have a cute intimate inside area and a little outside area that overlooks the park across the street! It's a cool relaxed bar and I would recommend it! read more

Food was served luke warm, to include the soup if the day. The beans were not cooked thoroughly. Really how hard is it to prepare soup? Disappointing all around. Maybe the owner should have a bowl before serving it. Server implied she would be to busy for us to come back (not at all) and no one came by to ask us about our food, otherwise I would have said something. IDK but really??? Good Irish music. For sure cozy. read more

Awesome atmosphere. Kicking old school vinyl tunes Great beer Friendly folks. I don't want to leave. read more

I am reading all the 5 star reviews here. Can't go there. I did like the "quaintness"...but you are cramped close to everyone else in this establishment. I paid $7.50 for 12 oz. of beer that wasn't even cold!!!! Now WHY on earth would I want to come back here, with all the brewpubs and taprooms within walking distance of Karma Brew? read more

This place was extremely rude, Anthony specifically, to its disabled customers. One such customer slipped and fell, injuring himself, in the restroom. When his friends went to Anthony to get help for him as they were locked out and needed to be let into this restroom, Anthony got snotty with them and accused them of just wanting free beer. Instead of showing concern and immediately going to the disabled young man's aid he yelled at his friends and made unfounded accusations. The friends were finally able to convince this rude owner of their sincerity and were let in to help the disabled young man, who suffered bruised ribs. I will never bring my business to this establishment again. This kind of service gets no stars! The only reason it has one star is that yelp wouldn't let me post without a star rating. read more

This low key tiny neighborhood bar is always a joy to walk into. Good beer, good wine, best sangria ever! Little patio outside is perfect for a drink, chat and people watch. Just wish there were better options for munchies. They don't have a full kitchen so don't expect the freshest appetizers. read more

Over priced. And that is an understatement. My boyfriend and I spent over fifteen dollars on two drinks: 1. A cider for which we spent 6 dollars for a glass, but which can be found at the 99 cent store for the entire liter bottle. 2. A beer which is 25% cheaper at all locations in sacramento. I will admit that the ambiance was wonderful and decor well thought out. It's disappointing that the soft opening would prove so underwhelming that we will not be back. read more

Don't bother going in if you're not a local. I went in and made myself known to the bar and sat right next to the bar and studied the very limited menu for about 10 minutes before trying to get the attention of the one roaming waiter. He blew me off for another 10 minutes when I finally walked out. On that time at least 6 other people who were obviously familiar to the bartender came in and got served, including the guy RIGHT NEXT TO ME. Pathetic!!! read more

I went here for the first time last night with some friends because I really wanted some coffee but we realized it's a bar. I was able to get a Chai Latté anyway and my friends got beers which they really enjoyed. The soundtrack for Jurassic Park was playing which was really funny and my friends and I were trying to figure out which score went to what scene. They also played another soundtrack but it was a mellow French album that was perfect for the atmosphere. The bartender was really nice and we talked to him half the time and the decor was really unique. There are benches and some of the seats are old movie theater chairs. I loved this place. It's a very cozy and charming atmosphere. We're definitely coming back here on Wednesday and I'll have to try the sangria. read more

Service ok. But slow. No one here but my small group and we are waiting over 30mins for our lunch. The beer is nice with good options. I'd only come back if I wanted a quick drink. Not good for food read more

Came in here the other night for a drink. The decor was pretty interesting and I had a lot to look at while I had my drink. There's also seating outside and depending on the time, it's a fun spot to people watch. I had a chance to talk with Kendra and she was super nice! I'd come back just because of how nice she was lol!! read more

The atmosphere of this joint is terrific. Never overpowering to the good company you bring with you. Owner has a pup who hangs out from time to time and was amazing letting my dog hang out on the patio with me. Food is fresh and their sangria is beyond my favorite. read more

This place is awesome! I came here Memorial Day weekend for drinks and food. The atmosphere is great, relaxing music and awesome beer. The owner/server was very informative about our beer and cheese selections and very friendly. All of the ingredients were fresh, and also homemade. The hummus was amazing and the owner explained that they even freshly grind the cumin seed for the delicious hummus. This place was awesome and we will be back! read more

Best sangria of my life!!!! With the nicest customer service I have had! Will be back soon with more friends. Found a gem in Sac that I can't pass up, everyone else should at least try once. read more

Definitely a different vibe from other small local bars, very laid back with interesting, random decor and friendly service. The house sangria is pretty potent! read more

overall ok, but I would come when the crowd is lower. It seems that the place needs more room and more resources. Overall an ok place to go to but not a must see. read more

Karma brew is a great treasure! Has a little cute patio over looking the park. The bartender was super friendly the second I walked in the door. Not a typical bar, old fashion seating; walls are decorated with unique antiques. Definitely a bar to check out if you like unique bars that aren't upscale or buzzing with people. Restroom is around the corner. read more

A great little spot with plenty of intimate, warm ambiance. A nice addition to the rapidly expanding 16th Street bar and restaurant scene, Karma Brew offers a number of tasty craft beers, coffees, organic teas, sandwiches and other high-quality tapas and pub food. Vegetarian and vegan options are all there too. Being a well appointed and thoughtfully decorated smaller location, Kama Brew mixes a perfect blend of coziness and 'earthy' warmth within its walls. Combine this with its high quality libations and delightful food menu options and you have a great venue for an comfortable, intimate food and drink evening tucked just steps away from Fremont Park. read more

The gem of Fremont Park. HQ beers, very nice small plates with delectable flavors, precious random decor, jazz records piping, great service, and the most comfortable theater seats in the SE corner. read more
