    Ube pancakes
    Meng Y.

    Midtown spirits is a distillery but it has an interesting Filipino inspired brunch menu which is what I went for and not the alcoholic drinks! There is only street parking so it can be difficult to park and the restaurant does not have a parking lot. My friend wanted to try the matcha waffles so went to try it on a Sunday afternoon. The place was pretty crowded inside and all the seats were taken. They did have a good amount of outdoor seating which consisted of picnic tables for larger parties. It was overcast and cold so we were looking it for indoor seating but we ended up sitting outside. You go to the bar inside to order and then you are given a number and then a server brings your food out to your table. I went with 2 friends so I saved our table for us so it wouldn't get taken while they went to order for me. I ordered the short stack ube mochi pancakes which was only $6 for 2 pancakes which was so cheap! I was shocked at the price! If you want the full stack it is $12 which is still such a great deal. The pancakes came with strawberry and pineapple fruit topping, coconut shavings, and caramelized condensed milk syrup. The pancakes were chewy and soft and not too sweet and had good ube flavor. My fellow elite Yelp friend ordered the matcha waffles which was a large portion but she said the waffles lacked strong matcha flavor. I looked at the rest of their menu and wanted to try their savory Filipino dishes such as the loco moco. Overall, the ube pancakes are delicious and such a great deal! I want to go back to try the rest of their savory Filipino dishes next time!

    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. There is inside and outside seating and the staff is really nice.

    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. 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. 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. If you have a squad, I would have someone on seat duty, because it can get packed.

    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. They have a wonderful outdoor space and we sat watching the dog park which was fun for us! 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.

    Popped in for happy hour (3-6pm!) and it was a beautiful day so sat in the patio out front. 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!

    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. It's a great place to hang out, try something new, and treat yourself. Definitely worth a visit!

    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 :) the outside seating area is super cute!! 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 :) bartender kept to himself but got the job done and was personable. Cute modern place for yummy drinks and chill atmosphere

    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.

    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

    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.

    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. Definitely will return. I recommend the patio seating while it's nice out.

    Street parking

    Are there vegan food options?

    What time does brunch start?

    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.

    Is brunch served daily?

    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 😀

It was a nice surprise to see a hand written "Congratulations and Happy Anniversary" card. A complimentary treat of Focaccia bread with avocado and kimchi was given as well as a glass of champagne for the both of us. Our waiter was helpful, offering his opinion on what wine to take. We went for whatever he suggested for white (for her) and red (for me). Both were good picks. Our dinner started with toasted focaccia bread. She ordered a Caesar salad also. The appetizer was 3 large slices of bread with stracciatella and pear compote. The bread was light and buttery. The stracciatella was good blending well with the bread. The Caesar salad was a big serving. Tasty and simple, nothing special. Our main entree was filet mignon for my wife and wagyu rib eye for me, both medium rare. The filet was topped with garlic confit and I added chimichurri to my ribeye. The plating was simple, the protein with the side and roasted garlic. We also added smashed potatoes to share. Our first bite was the meat itself with no dressing. I can taste why the steak was priced that way. It just melted in my mouth and left a nice smooth aftertaste. We exchanged bites, she felt the same way and I agreed that her filet was perfect. After adding the roasted garlic and chimichurri, the slices were heavenly. The surprise for me was the smashed potatoes. First time trying this dish and I was impressed. The crispness of the skin was a nice surprise. The butter and garlic added another layer of flavor. We topped our dinner with a toffee bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and caramel. I'm not a dessert person but this, this was good! Overall it was a great dinner. The food was excellent. The staff was amazing. Of course, my date was beautiful. Thank you Butcher and Barrel for an awesome dinner experience!

The outdoor patio, shade, and overall atmosphere were great, and our server was wonderful and understanding throughout our meal. The food value on the brunch side, however, missed the mark. A couple of us ordered the $19 chorizo open-face omelette. While we knew going in that it didn't come with sides, what was presented simply did not match the menu description. It arrived as a disappointing 7-inch open-faced omelette. The peppers were barely specks, and the potatoes were virtually nonexistent (something we realized while discussing the dish later). On top of that, the small amount of "chorizo" tasted and looked like plain breakfast sausage. I completely understand that businesses need to turn a profit, pay fair wages, and cover rent in a prime location, but the margin here was too glaring for what was served. I genuinely thought they had served us all vegetarian omelettes on accident, it felt like an incomplete plate. I had never felt taken advantage of like I did when I received my meal, so I had to send it back to the kitchen. I swapped it for the roughly 13-inch pepperoni pizza ($23). For just $4 more, the contrast was very apparent. The pizza was fresh, delicious, well-portioned, and fed three of us (including the guests who kept their omelettes and were still hungry). While the staff resolved my plate graciously, the brunch menu as currently portioned falls short. If management adds proper sides or reworks the portions to match the pricing, it could be a solid brunch destination. Until then, we'll stick strictly to the pizza or maybe try out another one of their menus.
