The food is amazing. I love the service at both the Cafe Bernardo and R15 bar side. The staff are super nice, friendly, and helpful. Their bartender, Chelsea, is really nice and makes good drinks. During the day, the vibe is chill and open. I do not prefer the evening crowds as it can be a bit chaotic (and I'm getting too old for some of that). Overall, I've been eating and drinking there for years and still love the place. Great staple in Sacramento. read more

I think my visit was just under 20 minutes, since my fambam and I came in for our last drink of the night. Major, major sausage fest maybe because it was Monday Night and football was on all TVs, but if your a dude trying to eat and enjoy some eye candy, this is not the spot for you. The bartenders were cool, pretty fast and efficient. The drinks were drinks, with a nice heavy pour. The actual bar seating area was clean, spacious and inviting. I would recommend this place to watch sports since they have a ton of TVs throughout. read more

Some of the best service in Sacramento. The bartenders are great at making anything you ask for. Nikki and I believe the other one is John. He has blue hair and you can't miss him. The chef does a seasonal menu that is as always excellent. Give this place a go. Great bunch on the weekends and perfect for weekday work outings at lunch or happy hour. Pro tip, eat on the bar side where it is full service. read more

Had a bit of problems with their pool table but was given a free game. All in all a nice place. It was super hot out and i was grateful for that slushy read more

I like to come here whenever I'm going to a concert at Ace of Spades and need to kill time. It's connected to a cafe so there are food options (but the food is just okay). The bartenders are always really nice and helpful when I'm looking for drink suggestions. I mainly come here to play pool - there are 4 tables and I've never seen all 4 full. There are also big TVs and a lot of seating areas. read more

Food was average, but attentive staff. You can tell they are trying to do their best to accommodate everyone seeing as only outside seating is allowed right now. The wait wasn't too long compared to other nearby restaurants. I would go again, maybe for brunch only and try their breakfast. I'm not sure about going for lunch again. Other than that, not too bad. Would recommend to try it out. read more

R15 is a solid place to watch a game as there's 7 large televisions well placed throughout the bar. The drinks are reasonable and I love their Korean wings which are only $3 a order during happy hour. Me and my friends have been coming here for years and R15 has never given us a reason not to keep coming back. read more

Brunch/lunch and cocktails, always so delicious. The wait was a little long, about 40minutes on a Sunday. Most likely the new norm given covid times. The servers were very attentive and professional. We ordered the mai tai and pomegranate margarita on the rocks. I've always enjoyed their cocktails especially during happy hour accompanied with a game of pool in the back. Always a place you'll enjoyed and we will always return. read more

Went today, on Halloween, with a group of coworkers for lunch and the bartender was so rude when i was asking about what beers were on-tap. She told me to order my drink in the cafe and then shot me dirty looks the remainder of our dining experience. The food is good but the bartender was trash. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in sac. They're super dog friendly which is a major plus In my book. Drinks are always amazing and they change with the seasons. Food also changes with the seasons but sticks to the same dishes, but they change to different seasonal ingredients each season witch gives the menu a comfortable familiarity with new twists to look forward too. The avocado toast is my favorite dish and the salmon burger I also a must try. read more

Nice enough place, but 3 bucks for a game of pool?? WTF?! Also, two bartenders, some Kid named Alberto who was huddling Ass to take care Of customers, the other. A lethargic dude who clearly didn't want to be there. Not inclined to go back. read more

Food was great, service was fast and friendly. I came in mostly for the drinks, and the bartenders were awesome. They were friendly, and were able to recommend drinks. Thank you Steve and Tony! I will be back. Also the Thai Noodle is amazing! Cool to know they have 4 pool tables as well! read more

We came here on Friday night before a concert at Ace of Spades, mostly because every restaurant on the block had a 45 min wait. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and food. The prices were quite good for a downtown bar and the food was delicious! We got the burger and chicken tacos. We didn't get a chance to play pool, but we'll definitely be coming back for more :) Only complaint: My drink was pretty weak and I had to order an extra vodka shot and pour it in before you could even taste the alcohol read more

This place can get busy in the evening and you might have to wait for ordering a drink, but it's a great location for those who want to drink and watch a game...And there's pool tables. read more

Super friendly staff! Great drinks to boot. The gang loved the pool table. A great place to meet as a group.

3rd stop on our Pub Crawl in the heat. Drinks were made correct-as they should for the price. Service not so much. Staff not too busy to chat with each other. Glad we didn't have food- the bathrooms were filthy. Less than 15 people in the whole place and their service was that bad. read more

This was such an awesome place to celebrate my friends 30th birthday! I highly recommend you visit if you haven't before. We decided to celebrate my friends 30th birthday rather last minute and R15/ Cafe Bernardo were super accommodating and truly amazing. Even being that it was last minute I'm a week night. The staff was such a pleasure to be around and truly seems like they cared about our experience. The food and drinks were both delicious and appetizers reasonably priced. We all ordered something different and were highly impressed. We even got dessert to go because it looked so good! If you haven't been here: GO. They recently remodeled and the place is so charming. They even have local plants from Propagate! I can't wait to go back for lunch and see the place in the light. Thank you R15/Cafe Bernardo! read more

I was here about a month ago when the seating was outside. Is it weird that I think this is an upgrade? So the bf and I had finally decided to just hang out again in public, and came here. There were tons of people as we'd expect. To get seated, we had to wait by the sidewalk which is understandable during this pandemic. They have to find a spot/table that is 6 ft away from other guests, and sanatize it before letting us sit. Our waiter was very friendly which is a big plus seeing how they were super busy that night. I didn't sense any urgency, annoyance, or negativity from him. Come to think of it, the staff that night was all like that. We ordered a few drinks and a couple of side dishes and went on our way. There is nothing to complain about with the food. I believe we ordered wings that night and I remember thinking it's pretty good for bar food. The restroom is located inside and they do have signs up reminding you to put on your mask when entering the building. There were no customers seated inside, no games open, and only staff. Only time a customer is inside is if they were using the restroom. Overall, I'd come back again since they seem to be doing good in my books when it comes to handling the pandemic. read more

Great bar located on the corner of R street! My first time here and it did not disappoint. Saturday afternoon was slower than I would have expected but it gave me the chance to get a good seat at the bar for the Sharks game. Bartenders are super friendly and very attentive when your drink is running low. I ordered two green apple ciroc and 7s, both were made with way more vodka than 7. While we didn't order any food the menu looks pretty tasty for bar food. There are also pool tables in the back and special couch seating with your own personal TV. I will definitely be back when another big game is on. read more

SITREP A nice bar in downtown Sacramento for a quick drink. I went here for the first time when fellow Yelper Brad H. was leaving for Arizona and having a going away shidig here. SETUP On the R Street block between 14th & 15th Street, this bar is conveniently located near light-rail. A full-service bar that gets you all the great drinks - both mixed and beers - at a nice happy hour price. YELP OLYMPICS This was also a great location when later the Yelp Olympics were hosted here on Night #1. The excitement of the night was never better and the drinks were never more tasty. THE LOWDOWN Great for a quick drink. read more

My buddy and I stop in here before our concert next door at Ace of Spades, pre drinks and bar bites. Luckily for me it was Taco Tuesday and Margarita night, so of course I had to get the three street tacos and a margarita. We each had the tacos he ordered a beer and I the margarita. Then being that the tacos are a bit small we had a order of the bar fries, which were very flavorful and fresh. They are crispy fries, with smoked cheddar sauce, bacon, pickled jalapeños, and scallions. Very good I could not stop eating them. And the three street tacos Grilled chicken, tomatillo-green chili salsa, cabbage-radish slaw, cilantro, cotija. Very taste I could of probably eaten two of them being that they are small tacos. read more

Went for Happy Hour to get out of the house and safely social distance in an outdoor patio. Service was great and quick. 2 drinks and 3 appetizers for under $25 so score! The pizza with corn and bacon was my favorite and I would order again! Fries and Tacos were just okay, ask for salsa for tacos because they are a little dry. Again, our server Thomas was wonderful and the outdoor area was clean and we felt safe. read more

Love coming to R15! They have a great assortment of bar bites and good selection of cocktails. Surprisingly nice pool tables that are well maintained. Games here are affordable but bring cash. Their daily specials are usually pretty good and well priced. I think what keeps bringing us back though is the staff. Diego A. was a great host and I really appreciate his attentiveness. When we first got in he fixed our table without prompt and always made sure we had drinks and good recommendations of food choices. Above and beyond through the whole night and just reaffirms why we love coming here! read more

Came here to watch the San Jose Sharks playoff game and they changed the channel before the game was over. There was literally 2 minutes left of the game and they said that they had to change the channel to music videos. Definitely don't come here for games! Before this I had to ask for ranch at least 3 times from 2 different people, even though I asked for it when I ordered my wings. Our waitress forgot because she was busy socializing with some of her friends. How unprofessional? The customer service isn't very great here!!! Definitely will not be back! Oh and the margarita was mediocre, couldn't really taste the alcohol. Not worth it for a $10 drink. read more

We've been here for 45 minutes and only gotten our drinks... our server took 25 min to take our food order and it's been another 20 min since we've placed our order and everyone around us has been helped and has their food. our server had barely checked up and we had to get his attention. it's not even busy LOL which i would excuse slow service for, but there's deadass only about 6 tables and more than enough servers. anyways this was lame. read more

Did somebody say 50% off during happy hour, 7 days a week from 3-6pm? I don't think there's anywhere else in the world (okay, maybe in California) that you can get a good Old Fashioned for $5. Except for R15 during happy hour. These deals are insanely good, and what's even more insane is the TLC the chef puts into his work. The chef hand delivers your order to your table and brings your cutlery, all the while discussing your preferences and being really humble that he created the dish that you're salivating over. Trust me, you will salivate. There are pool tables here which is cool, but people can be ball-hogs so they're not available most of the time. It's okay though, because there's so much more to R15 than pool. R15 just remodeled its entire blueprint, so the space feels really open, with high ceilings and family-style tables. They have a hard kombucha which is pretty epic. It's very centrally located next to other attractions on R St. so you can bar hop if you'd like to switch it up. All in all, R15 is an amazing catch that I recommend you reel in while you're around! read more

by far my favorite spot in sac. i've come so often i've accumulated $60 in rewards points! i absolutely love the 3 different sides of the restaurant and how each carries a different vibe. I perfer the bar and pool table side, Nikki and Kevin are always phenomenal, great service and great drinks. but the only reason I can't give 5 stars is the music! This place would be so much more inviting to younger crowds if the music wasn't so slow and outdated. I'm here on a Friday afternoon for a game of pool but I feel like falling asleep. I haven't heard a single song I'm familiar with since being here. The morning and afternoons are so hit or miss, for every 3 bad songs I'll head one good one. If you modernize the music, it changes the entire atmosphere. I really think this place could feel so much more lively with something more upbeat playing. :)) read more

There should be a sign inside this place highlighting their lemon drops. They are that good. A few of my friends live close to R15 so this place is a favorite of ours. They usually choose beer but I usually come away with a lemon drop at some point because they use fresh lemon juice, a chilled glass, and the results are phenomenal in my opinion. I recommend R15 whenever someone from out of town is looking for a down-to-earth bar or a comfy place to hang out with friends. They have a solid list of beer on tap, TV screens in the bar area and around the pub tables and an adjoining room to the left with 4 pool tables and at least one more TV. The bartenders are always friendly to us and greet us with a smile, and we have never had to wait more than a few minutes on a busy night for a drink. It can definitely get packed in here too during big games or on the weekends, but it's a fun atmosphere and there is a patio out front for more room. The one time I tried their food, I wasn't a fan so that's why my rating is 4 stars so far, but for drinks and a relaxed night out, I will always recommend coming here. read more

Didn't realize this was bought out by Cafe Bernardo. Really liked the inside, did a nice job with such a big space. Beers were tasty and bartenders knowledgeable and friendly. The pizzetta tasted nice but a little skimpy on toppings and pretty small. read more

Very poor service. Walked in at 4pm on a Thursday, bar was dead, bar hands saw me but no "hello", "welcome in", "whatcan I get for you". Two minutes later, enter two other people - immediately helped. Do I have a sign on my forehead that says "don't take my money"? Very rude Mr. Barman with the big gauges. Also girl behind the bar was touching the tops of straws with the same hands I saw her scratch her head with and handle cash and cards. I wouldn't put your hand in my mouth so why would I want it on my straw? At least grab the straw from the middle so the alcohol in my drink can maybe act as a sanitizer. I should have gone to Ol'Ironside read more

Café Bernardo's is by far my favorite family run chain in downtown Sacramento, and R 15 is my favorite location! There are a number of reasons to love Café Bernardo's R15: *Menu is the same at all location but this bar has an additional bar eats and Happy Hour menu after 3:00 pm *The staff is great, especially my gal: Claire. She works earlier in the week dealing with the lunch crowds. She remembers my drink and food orders (rarely ever order anything other than the Mushroom Jarlsberg Cheese Salad and the Kale Caesar Salad). *This location is more of a sports bar so there are a number of TVs surround the bar and pool tables in the back. *Nice patio to sit and people watch. Overall a great spot to have lunch, bar hop, watch the game or play pool. The perks of it being a Café Bernardo helps because the food comes from the connected Café. read more

Came in for a Saturday night with friends. Bartender was prompt and drinks weren't too bad. I'm used to the hole in the wall bar drinks so these were refreshing. We ordered some bites, wings, and the tacos. Out of those I'd have to say the tacos were my favorite. The fries had cold cheese (fresh out the fridge) so that was really disappointing. I think if the cheese was warm it may not have been that bad. The wings had good flavor, I only ate 1 since they were a little messy left the rest to my husband. Overall the experience was nice, they played good music no complaints. read more

It's a good thing there isn't a midtown running of the bulls a la Spain. Angry bulls would be SMASHIN' up R15's crimson fascade. That would make Randy P sad. =( Not only does no want Randy P sad, but also it makes one less decent place to watch sports. Yup, good sports TV viewing is found here. I got crazy excited about getting up at the crack of dawn and watching World Cup futbol here. I've also enjoyed American football viewing at R15 as well. Maybe it's not the best place to find the ever elusive Browns vs Jaguars clash as I don't think the NFL package is in effect. It's good for the big games though. I'll take some gridiron action and a breakfast burrito with chile verde sauce. Hell to the yeah. Sabor http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=T54If2jyi1Syha7UWzPmUA would disapprove of the m/f ratio on a Friday night, but apparently their jager bombs are zee best. That might be a positive for you. Drinks are cheap enough and, hey, they have a patio. On a final note, the R15 commercials currently running on ESPN put a giddy evil smile on my face cuz of the many parodies of it dancing in my head. That's worth an extra star. Game on! read more
