    One of the drink menus.
    Susan R.

    What a great distillery! Their drinks are really good and we had to try the spam fries! We each ordered 2 rounds of drinks and enjoyed them all. The spam fries were delicious and came with a tasty aioli dip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is inside and outside seating and the staff is really nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Post farmer's market brunch. Ends at 2:30pm!
    Alex R.

    Been here a few times after the farmer's market, and I've always had an acceptable time. On a recent brunch, I split the loco moco and musubi bowl with my gf. To start, it was the kentucky derby, so we started with some mint juleps. Man, it was just straight bourbon. There wasn't any flavor to the drink and it really didn't sit well with my stomach, so it wasn't a great start. The loco moco and musubi plate were solid. Honestly, great umami flavors from the filipino / hawaiian heritages, but I felt the proportions to be small and wasn't fully satisfied at the end. At the end of a meal like that, I prefer to be completely satiated and I always kind of leave this place wanting, which is my biggest critique. The crab rangoon was solid, and probably the highlight for me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In the end, this can be a 4 star place considering the vibe. It has a cool patio and the inside bar is dope. There a few TVs to view sports. It can be a great brunch spot honestly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, I want to bring it down a notch bc of personal food experience. I still would come back. Regarding the service, you order at the bar. Everyone is very nice. It can take a minute. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you have a squad, I would have someone on seat duty, because it can get packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Love stopping here for slushies . The log slushie is very good and the food is pretty good as well. TVs on for games and the atmosphere is very chill and good

    Tempura Cauliflower Old-fashioned Buzzed Bunny GOAT salad

    I would love it if we could do half stars here - they are definitely higher than a 4, but just shy of a 5-star rating. My husband and I stopped in last night around 5:30. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a wonderful outdoor space and we sat watching the dog park which was fun for us![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a gift card that I had won at a silent auction and I am SO glad we finally used it. If we lived closer, I could see myself being a regular here! We started with drinks, my husband had the old fashioned and I had the buzzed bunny. I have to admit, it was strange for me to seeing them getting the old-fashioned out of a tap, but hubs said it was good, so who am I to judge!! The buzzed bunny was really delicious! I enjoyed it completely. We got the tempura cauliflower to start - it was great! Light breading and the sauce was yummy. I had the GOAT salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. The greens were fresh and crisp, the nuts toasty, the cheese perfection, and the dressing just tangy enough. Also, I love beets, so it was a winner! My husband got the burger without the egg (can't remember the names), and he said it was delicious!! The garlic fries were a bit mild for my taste, but maybe more socially acceptable to be less garlicky. The staff was so friendly! The food came out super fast! The drinks were delish. I would definitely go back.

    Spam fries
    Alejandra G.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Popped in for happy hour (3-6pm!) and it was a beautiful day so sat in the patio out front.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered their Shamrock Slush (seasonal slushie) and it was 12/10. A little chocolate drizzle on the glass and topped with a mint leaf and whipped cream. So so good. We ordered a few apps: spam fries (happy hour), lumpia, pork belly fries. The food was all pretty good. The spam fries were unique but not super filling. I really liked the aioli it came with. The lumpia was really good and came with this great hot honey-ish sauce. Lastly the pork belly fries - mostly fries with a sprinkle of pork belly. Wasn't super impressed with these but it did the trick for a light snack. All in all, great drinks and our server/bartender was super sweet and food came out quick!

    We loved our experience here :) we came at a good time before the line got long and everything was tasty! We got the slushy flight (lemonade, Thai, mangonada, POG) and the Capitol coffee cocktail. Mangonada was my personal favorite and Thai was my husband's favorite! The katsu fries were tasty as well as the cheesecake. Would come here again for the cocktail flights :) [[HIGHLIGHT]]the outside seating area is super cute!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some super loud customer ruined it yelling his life story outside so we went inside to the bar and the inside was a lot more chill :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] bartender kept to himself but got the job done and was personable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute modern place for yummy drinks and chill atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Midtown Spirits in downtown Sacramento is such a fun spot! The matcha churros are a must-order -- perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and sweet in the best way. They honestly reminded me of Disneyland churros, just with that delicious matcha twist. Their drink menu is awesome too. There's such a great variety that there's truly something for everyone -- whether you're into craft cocktails, something fruity, or a classic go-to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a great place to hang out, try something new, and treat yourself. Definitely worth a visit![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Hot Apple Cider with their apple cinnamon whiskey and the midtown mule!
    Anthony N.

    Pulled up here for the Jingle Bell Pup Crawl and honestly?? 10/10 festive chaos in the best way. The hot apple cider with their cinnamon whiskey was straight-up dynamite -- like a warm hug from Santa if Santa could also mix a drink. The Midtown Mule? Smooth, refreshing, and dangerously easy to sip. We also ordered the chicken lumpia, and yes, it slapped. Crunchy, hot, and exactly what our souls needed. But the REAL critic? Our dog. Lobo sat on the patio like a little old man watching the neighborhood drama unfold -- people watching, dog watching, probably judging someone's boots. Approved with tail wags and zero chaos. That alone earns five stars. Dog-friendly, cozy patio, great drinks, good food -- we'll definitely be back! Next time I'm bringing a blanket & ordering that cider by the gallon.

    Brunch menu

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Midtown Spirits is located across the street from the Ice Blocks Dog Park making it popular with dog owners.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In addition Leash and Collar is just down the street as well. We tried the brunch menu today and the food was out in like 5 minutes, this makes me think most of the food is precooked and just warmed up. We tried the drink flight $25 unfortunately we didn't specify we wanted the brunch flight but the dinner flight is still good. The Hella Moco is the best moco value wise in town. $22 gets you 2 burger patties, 2 bacon extra crispy, 2 longanisa, 2 spam, 2 eggs, rice and delicious mushroom gravy. This is my new fav loco moco. The burger patties were well done and dry compared to 18 grams or Scotts Seafoods patties but the Hella Moco still dominated. Short Stack of Ube pancakes were freaking moist and delicious. The lox was ok not my fav but wifey liked it. We also got Lil Yelper Lucie 2 ala carte eggs for $5. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

    Tempura Cauliflower
    Megan K.

    Fabulous first trip to Midtown Spirits. Can't believe I've waited this long to try! The gal at the front was so gracious in answering all my questions and helping me make a selection on drinks. The food was to die for, omg. We had the goat & beer salad, tempura cauliflower, chicken katsu sandwich and deviled eggs. Everything was amazing. Prob could have passed on the shamrock shake but that's bc I think the milk cocktail combo took me out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely will return. I recommend the patio seating while it's nice out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Mushroom sisig (vegan)
    Pauline T.

    We reserved for a party of 10 the day before and got patio seating for brunch. The restaurant is cute with all the halloween decor. I shared 4 entrees with 2 others; each entree did not have a large portion of food Mushroom sisig (one of their entries for vegan chef challenge): crispy and well seasoned, a decent ratio of batter to mushroom. The garlic vinegar was a nice dip. Would recommend. Pork belly sisig: crispy but the amount of meat was small. The flavor was savory and went well with lemon. The garlic butter rice was decent, but doesn't taste good when it goes cold. shrimp happens: underwhelming. Shrimp was well cooked with shell on. Batter wasn't that crispy. Overall felt more greasy than the others. ube pancakes: fluffy, not to sweet, and went well with the condensed milk. Ube flavor was not there. We asked for more condensed milk since the amount on the pancake was limited. I would probably not come back here again, but it was nice to try!

    Dillarffic Park
    Shane V.

    The atmosphere was great and the service was excellent. The servers were very polite. My first drink was the dillarissic, dill pickle drink. I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered it because I hate dill juice . I didn't like the drink at all. My buddy had the white Russian and it was very good. The strawberry vodka was delicious and I bought a bottle to take home. The pineapple chili vodka was also very good if you like heat. For food, my pork belly had a strong zest taste which really turned me off. My buddy had the hot dog dish, can't recall the name but it was decent. The pancakes looked like the go to.

    Midtown Spirits continues to be one of our favorite brunch spots. When we have friends or family visiting from out of town this is a must stop. They have indoor and outdoor seating and you can find street parking nearby relatively easily (during peak hours you may have a to walk a bit further). You walk in and order at the bar and then find a seat. Don't forget to check out the specials and take a look at their list of infused vodka flavors. They already have a great menu of drinks, but you can change them up by using infused vodka flavors. They have delicious vodka slushies available with some rotating flavors- the POG is our favorite and is always available. They also have some cocktails on draft for quick service, but offer so many options. The longer they're around, the more options they have. They're a distillery and sell vodka in a few flavors as well as gin and rum. On top of that they sell fun items like merch, coasters, barrel aged honey, and the Preservation & Co. products like the bloody mary mix they use. Speaking of, their Bloody Mary is one of my favorites. I love ordering it with pickle AND horseradish vodka and it's super flavorful. Other favorites are the Moscow Mule with apple cinnamon vodka, and on our recent visit my husband tried it with apple cinnamon and cranberry vodka and it was so good. I also love their white linen and I love to have the bartenders surprise me with a drink they're working on. The food is also fantastic! On my recent visit they had spam pops as a special, basically spam corn dogs, and they were awesome. We also got the Loco Moco ($16) and the Hella Loco ($22) to compare the two- basically one just has ALL THE MEATS. I'd recommend getting the Hella Loco and sharing it. So good! It looks like the breakfast fries are off the menu now, but their regular fries are delicious. Our friends got the hangover burger and loved it too. This spot is family friendly, and dog friendly (on the patio). They also have special menu items and offerings throughout the year- check their social media for updates.

    Street parking

    Are there vegan food options?

    Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 9:30-2:30.

    Will you please bring back the apple slushie? Best slushie I've ever had.

    Brunch is only on the weekends as they are mostly open in the afternoon/evening during the week. Worth a couple trips to check out both menus!

    They have a good sized outdoor patio area that is dog friendly, which is great since the dog park is across the street 😀

During dinner, the Operations Manager, Michael, stopped by our table to introduce himself and let us know he was available if we needed anything. He checked in with us multiple times throughout the evening, which was appreciated. However, the experience ended on a disappointing note. As we were leaving, we asked about having our parking validated and were told that nothing could be done because they had no validation tickets available. While the food and service were excellent, after spending approximately $2,500 on dinner, we expected that an Operations Manager would have the authority or flexibility to offer some alternative solution. And the way he spoke to his staff was not very nice. Unfortunately, that final interaction overshadowed an otherwise enjoyable evening and left our group feeling that this would likely be a one-time visit.

The restaurant is chic and romantic. Other than it being on the louder side, the decor is warm with more dim lighting. What I also noticed and really appreciated is that the tables were spacious and placed farther apart from each other, so you're not crammed with other people. My only complaint is location is on K St, which is hard to find parking and there is no valet. The food was great (details below) and we definitely plan to be back. Also, scallops on the menu would be amazing because that's my favorite entre to get when I eat out. I hope they add it! Focaccia bread with cherry compote: (5/5). So good! This came as a compliment from the chef and it was delicious. The bread was soft and warm. The toppings paired so well with it. They have just the focaccia bread on the menu, which I'm sure is great. If they add it with the toppings we would have ordered more. lol Zero proof strawberry daiquiri: (5/5) very good and had a nice strawberry flavor. It is on the sweeter side but I enjoyed it Pork belly: (5/5) also so good! I love pork belly and order it all the time. The pork belly was nice and tender. The glaze/sauce had a nice sweetness to it and the veggies complimented it very well. One of the best pork bellies I've had! Braised short ribs: (5/5) very good and what you expect from short ribs. The short ribs were nice and tender. It came in multiple pieces so easier to cut and eat. The sauce is on the lighter side, letting the meat flavor shine through. The mash and veggies were good as well Salmon: (3.5-4/5). Salmon was cooked well. The seasoning was more plain like a dry rub? I would have liked a glaze or something. It was decent though. Smashed crispy potatoes: (5/5) very good! They were hot and crispy. Had good seasoning. Pairs well with a lot of dishes

As someone who grew up enjoying Southern comfort food, I can honestly say these are some of the best beignets you'll find in the Sacramento area. They're huge, light, fluffy, served warm, and covered in the perfect amount of powdered sugar. They're always fresh, and every bite reminds me why I keep coming back. My daughter absolutely loves them too! She goes back and forth between these and Huckleberry's, but for me, Iron Horse Tavern takes the win. This time we ordered through DoorDash, along with a side of chicken, a bag of fries, and--if you know, you know--TWO sides of their amazing Sriracha cream cheese. Trust me... one isn't enough! Food: Outstanding. The beignets were the highlight, but everything was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. It's nice finding a restaurant that consistently delivers quality whether you're dining in or ordering takeout. Service: Everything arrived perfectly packaged, neatly organized, and exactly as ordered. Nothing was forgotten, nothing spilled, and I even loved the thoughtful touch of the bag being labeled with my name. Little details like that make a difference. Ambiance: I've dined inside several times, and Iron Horse Tavern has one of my favorite atmospheres in Sacramento. Located in the historic R Street District, the restaurant blends modern industrial style with warm, inviting décor that pays tribute to the area's railroad history. Whether you're stopping in for brunch, dinner, or cocktails, it's a place that's lively without feeling overwhelming. If you've never tried the beignets here, you're missing out. Sacramento doesn't have many places serving authentic-style beignets, and Iron Horse Tavern has definitely earned a spot at the top of my list. I'll absolutely be back... probably sooner than I should!
