Friendly staff, good food and a cool atmosphere! Lots of beers on tap which my husband was very excited/overwhelmed by!

I finally got to taste the food at Lefty's after just enjoying the beverages. The menu is full of choices from their legendary barbecue to various burgers. Below is a photo of their mushroom and Swiss on a brioche bun. Delicious! Pair with a side of homemade coleslaw and it's a great meal. Fresh and juicy with flavors that linger. One note dear readers. If you go on a weekend be prepared to wait for your food - this place is popular. And it is also a family friendly spot so be ready for noise and lots of kids and dogs. Enjoy! read more

Leftys Taproom - The mushroom burger - Beer Bar Near Me - Sacramento, California

Fun taproom and eatery in Sacramento that we hit after a long day coaching volleyball. Service was super friendly and their outside area was hopping! We were thirsty and starving, and their digitally updated beer selection was well organized and represented a broad spectrum of beer styles. We initially tried their Mexican lager and a fruity sour which were both cold and refreshing. The Thai chicken sandwich included a nicely fried chicken breast complemented by a pineapple slaw, cilantro, pepper jack and a more sweet than hot chili sauce within a soft brioche bun. A little disappointed by the tri tip chimichurri sandwich which had an excellent blend of flavor combos but the trip tip was dry, kinda tough and under seasoned for our palates. We wish there was also more chimichurri sauce. The fries that came with both plates were fried well. Finished off the meal with their Russia River Happy Hops IPA which was outstanding. Overall, a great experience and hope to get back soon! read more

We just moved to the area and decided to try Thursday trivia. There was a huge turnout and you can tell many people are regulars, which is always nice to see. There was a huge beer selection, as well as food (but we didn't order food so I can't speak to that). The outside patio had a lot of tables with misters for the hot summer days, and you can tell that there's a consistent group of people that go, which makes for a homey and comforting vibe. We will definitely be back! read more

My daughter recommended this brewery. Great place to get a beer and burger! My burger was delicious! Freshly made. I also tried the blue cheese habanero fries. Yummy!! Not a beer connoisseur, but the cider I did have was refreshing. Plenty of seating outside. Definitely recommend. read more

Somewhat of a hidden gem with a great patio with plenty of seats and misters and variety of food and drink options! We got the burger and chicken sandwich, both of which were great. Good quality ingredients with your choice of sides. You order inside and they bring out the food to you. Super friendly staff who gave us helpful suggestions on what to order. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Absolutely loved it! Great service, the guys at the bar could not have been nicer. And the food was fantastic! The hot honey chicken sandwich was killer. I had such a hard time deciding between the hot honey and the Thai chicken sandwich, so next time I'll be getting the Thai! Onion rings were amazing. Good ranch too! Fries were awesome and the burger was great. Seriously just all around outta sight. Came here with a couple of families and lots of kids under 5. Not a whole lot for kids to do, they run around and have fun, but there's nothing for them to play with unless you bring your own things. Like sacyard has giant connect four, nothing like that here. But it's a great spot to hang out and definitely get food. Tons of beer options too and they're all great! Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Good beers, reasonable prices, great venue. But if you ask to change the channel you will get crucified even if it's the Playoffs and you're the only person watching the TV at all. Once businesses reach a certain level of success, they sometimes forget to see their customers as people. Customer service becomes a burden, no matter how much they tip. I sense a bit of that here. read more

Found this place on accident just searching for a new place. The beer selections are good, but the burgers and onion rings are the must try. The food is definitely and the atmosphere is very chill. Went on a hot day and the misters kept everyone cool read more

Lefty's has become a go-to spot for our family! My little one loves riding over in his power wheels & it's always an adventure, and for us parents, it's the perfect laid-back dinner spot after a long day. The vibe is super welcoming, the food hits the spot every time, and you really can't beat the beverage selection. While it's totally family friendly, I highly recommend bringing something to keep the kids happily entertained since it's along a decently trafficked road. It's such a win-win: easy dinner, happy kid, and a moment to relax for mom and dad. We definitely keep coming back! read more

The best spicy grilled chicken sandwich I've ever had! They have beers other than IPAs! They've started cracking down on rampant children..it's only up from here! My only annoyance is the attitude toward bikes...forcing us to leave them locked up out front where you can't watch them but viewable to every car driving by...I can only ride my POS here for fear I'll walk out front to leave and find a cut bike lock and no bike. read more

While it's always fun to stop by Lefty's for a beer, don't forget they also serve delicious food. We enjoyed lunch (along with a cold beer) on a recent very warm day. This misters kept things cool while we waited for our food -- and we didn't have to wait long. Portions are as large as the menu offerings. We settled on a fried thai chicken sandwich and a BLT. Both were flavorful and filling. Lefty's continues to rock as a place to get a beer or good food. They also serve weekend breakfast until 2 pm. Their outdoor area can get crowded as does the street parking. But sharing a picnic table is common, and you get to meet some nice, new people. read more

I highly recommend Lefty's. Service was very accommodating. So many brews to choose from but he asked me what I like in taste and he set it up perfectly. Appetizers were well priced and feeble and delicious. We had chicken wings and garlic fries and nachos. All great!! read more

Came here for Thursday night trivia for the first time. It was busy, and I was told that it could've been much busier. The short of it: plenty of brews on tap, selection of non alcoholic beverages in the cases inside, both outdoor and indoor seating options, food (we'll get to that), and moderately ample street parking. - Staff: Everyone seemed chill/normal/helpful. - Beer Selection: solid selection of brews/wines/some ciders (ain't no specials though, $9+ for a beer) Food Stuffs: Full disclosure, I was pleasantly surprised...kinda. Buffalo chicken salad: 4/5 - For $17, I made a whole lot of noise when it got to my table. Turns out, it was pretty tasty. Still, $17 though. Mac and Cheese: 3.5/5 - decent taste, weak noodles (if you know, you know). Friend stated, "I feel like I want to add something to it. I am not mad at it, I just would need to think about if I ever wanted it again. Like, it isn't bad, but will I crave it again?" $10 btw Buffalo chicken wings: 3.7/5 - Friend states, "felt like it was more breading than meat, the ratio felt different than normal hot wings" Chicken Cesar Salad: 4.4/5 - Solid option TL;DR: Go, grab a drink, order some food, chill. Lefty's is cool. Open spaces, chill staff, and busy on Thursdays. Special shoutout to that lovely mango hot sauce. read more

Driest burger I have ever had, the price you pay here should definitely get you something better than a whopper at least. I wish I spent that money on 2 in n out meals instead. Besides the burgers, the fries and ranch here are decent. The best part was definitely the beer selection but they were mainly out of the cool flavors that I wanted to try but I'm guessing they are that good so they go fast. Would recommend coming here only if you are into trivia and beer, skip on the food. Staff are super friendly and service was somewhat fast. The vibe here is chill and laid back. read more

What this has the best ambiance because I have indoor and outdoor seating. Best for getting fresh air or staying inside and socializing. The service is amazing because they not only greet you with a hello. They take your order right away and you get served at the counter. We did not order any food this time, but in the past we've had their burgers and fries and they were fresh and delicious. read more

I have been to Lefty's a few times now - located off of Elvas Blvd. They have street parking, but there has never been an issue finding a spot. When you walk up to the building, they have a tap room (I think), but if you go around to the side, they have an outdoor area as well as another building with more seating and the section where you order food and drinks. They have a good selection of beers and ciders, this past visit, I ordered the Twin Rivers Blood Orange Cider which I have been a fan of for years. For lunch, we ordered the Brisket Breakfast Burrito (special), Kids Hamburger and their Buffalo Chicken Salad. All of the food was really good, their burgers are even real burgers, no frozen patties. The guy at the counter was super friendly, but it did take a long time to order as he said something about it being a new menu, which I found odd. There was always a long line at the counter when we were there, I'm sure it was a mixture of the long wait time plus just being busy. Add Lefty's to your list of breweries to check out! read more

I was craving a burger on my way home from work and this spot happened to be nearby. Got some sort of jalapeño burger. Service was super quick and the workers were extremely nice and friendly, it seemed like a lot of the folks there knew each other which made it feel pretty homey. The burger was absolutely amazing. This was several months ago and I've been craving it since!! read more

Great staple! Very good hamburgers and salads. I'm always hesitant on burger places. Very few make better ones than me and we love their selections of beers and ciders. read more

Leftys Taproom - Late night stop, great beer selection and great food. Two for two, the jalapeño burger lives up to the spicy hype! - Beer Bar Near Me - Sacramento, California

Tried this place for the first time and was very happy with everything! The service was good, and the employees were helpful and kind. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and the food was great! I tried the hot honey chicken sandwich. Really good! The chicken was done perfectly, and the sauce wasn't overpowering. Highly recommend and will be back again! read more

The food is always amazing. They were a little behind with my order being a Friday and they gave me a beer on the house as I waited. Amazing friendly service I recommend to everyone!!!! read more

Great owners and managers, staff and chefs. The food is amazing every time and the beer selection is second to none. Highly recommend

Went there on St Paddy's Day and the food was amazing. Had a smoked corned beef sandwich and a side salad. Side salad was nothing to write home about but the corned beef was amazing! The smoke took it to the next level and I killed it all. Great selection of beer and misters in the patio. read more

Lefty's is a great hidden Sacramento gem, every time I come here I expect it to be more packed but it just seems steady. The beer selection is great, their specials are great, I recently just had their Birria grilled cheese and it was worth the drive. The main thing I come here for is great beer and the Mac and cheese, I swear it's the best in Sac. They have a nice little area inside with tv's to watch the games and a huge outdoor area with picnic tables. I highly recommend this place! read more

Love this East Sac spot! They have a GREAT selection of beers on tap. Not to mention, the food was also delicious. The salad was great, the buffalo fries were so good and the chicken was nice and crispy. The wings were a hit. The staff was friendly and would occasionally come around and pick up glasses and dirty plates which was great. It was crowded on a Friday night- there weren't very many free tables (a good sign)! Would definitely recommend Lefty's for a family outing for dinner or a spot to hang with friends. read more

My husband and his coworkers have been coming to Lefty's for quite some time to play trivia on Thursday nights. Recently, I have decided to join them. Occasionally, when we come, we indulge in more than just adult beverages. Some of the items from the menu that I have tried include the chicken tenders (yes, I'm a kid at heart), the buffalo chicken salad, and chopped beef sandwich. Obviously, it is impossible to screw up chicken tenders, and the buffalo chicken salad had great flavor to it. But I think the real winner for me was the chopped beef sandwich. I recently ordered this and it blew me away - both taste-wise and in the spice department. Those banana peppers carry some kick! The best way to describe the sandwich is if a burger and a Philly cheesesteak had a spicy little baby. They are dog-friendly, and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Parking can be a little tricky, especially when it is busy, but a lot of people walk or bike over. And the service is always fast and friendly, even when they are slammed. All in all, Lefty's is a great place to come hang out, grab some drinks with friends and enjoy a bite to eat. And the trivia is top-notch! read more

The food is great! The beer selection is amazing. I love their set up and the customer service. Honestly, it's a good place to go! Con: The only con and this isn't any points off to the establishment. This is more of warning. The worst type of parents frequent with their kids. They let them run wild, scream, throw toys, play soccer amongst the tables. They go through with no supervision and no discipline. I've been hit by toys, food, actual children etc. They seem to be regulars which sucks but if they aren't there. It's really nice peaceful. So that's the ambiance sometimes read more

I really like this place as a taproom, but this day I came for the bbq because the yelp reviews gave it rave reviews. That may be the case, but come to find out that the bbq only happens about once a month, so there was no bbq to speak of. I thought the special (pulled pork sliders) might be bbq flavor, but it was dry, no sauce and almost no coleslaw on it, I could barely swallow it. On the flip side, the blue cheese bacon burger was amazing, and the onion rings were great. Just not sure when they'll do the bbq again. read more

This is a solid restaurant/taproom near work! Melea was at the bar/register that helped the group with our Beer and Food order. I love how their beer menu shows how full their beer kegs are. My BBQ Burger was 2 smashburgers with bacon and a massive onion ring. 4/5 on flavor. The fries were well seasoned! I can see myself returning again! There are 2 TV's outside with seating both inside and outside. read more

Leftys Taproom - Beers - Beer Bar Near Me - Sacramento, California

Lefty's is a great neighborhood spot. We have quite a few scooter related get togethers there, and I'm consistently impressed by the friendliness of the staff, the selection of beer, and the ample outdoor seating. I haven't tried it myself, but I have heard nothing but good things about the food offerings as well. Personally, I can't get enough of the vanilla cream brew they have on tap, or some of the legit Kolsch / Czech pilsners. They do growler fills, too, but you do need to bring your own growler. Taking off one star (sorry guys!) because the seating area gets REALLY WET during the summertime when the misters are on. Like, sit under an umbrella wet. That said - it doesn't get too hot on the 100+ degree days, so give and take. Definitely worth popping by here for a pint or three. read more

Amazing. Well worth trying. Awesome brews on tap and great food. Highly recommend fun place and very friendly staff
