    Stopped in on a Thursday evening with some co-workers, for a drink, some eats, and to socialize for a bit. Happy hour drinks: Blood Orange IPA Martini Hard cider Food: Buffalo Chicken wings Fried zucchini Fries Wedge salad Fritto Misto My Blood Orange IPA was really good and so were the appetizers we tried. Our waitress was also really friendly and helpful throughout the night.

    I really like this place. Ive been here twice in the last month. They have a good selection of beers on tap and the food is really good too. Ive had a couple of the sandwiches, the turkey club and chicken club. The first time I got the Mac and cheese on the side, this time I got fries. I also tried the wings which were also really good. My daughter got the fried pickles and caesar salad, which she really liked. I will definitely be coming back again.

    I ordered to-go for the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge and got the Deep Fried Cauliflower Tacos and the Risotto. Both were very good!

    Loved the vibe here! It was busy the day we went because it was Father's Day. Loved our sandwiches! Fries were super yummy. Friendly service. Definitely will be back!

    Discovered the location after a funeral. Didn't realize how close I live to this place. Walked in and it was a bigger space than expected. Me and the homie stopped in for a beer. The staff was pretty nice and knowledgeable. I like river city beers so I enjoyed myself. Definitely will be back for food and of course more drinks!

    Love this place. Good beer and great food. We love the Reuben Egg rolls and they did not disappoint!! Crunchy on the outside super tasty with plenty of meat. The dipping sauces. Mustard and thousand island were spot on. We also had the frito misto with calamari and artichoke hearts. Cook was nice and crispy and served with a cocktail sauce and an aioli. The aioli tasted like mayo to me but the cocktail sauce was great. The venue was nice very industrial with a patio out front with fans, umbrella's and a TV. The men's room needs some work. It was clean but the peeling wall paper behind the urinals made me question the whole state of the building. Milagro management you can do better customer from four venues use this restroom.

    Beer, food and service is always good. The beer selection is always good and they will let you try a sip if you're not sure you'll like it.

    Ask the Community - River City Brewing Company

    Do you have outdoor seating in late afternoon/early evening shade?

    Yes. In the late afternoon/ early evening hours the patio is facing east and the sun is behind the building. Most if not all of the patio is shaded as well as a lot of parking spots. Highly recommended.

    Miss having the River City Brewing Company located in downtown. Due to the success in Carmichael, Will the owners ever consider having a second location in Downtown or Midtown Sacramento?

    Thats something you should probably ask them

The hostess greeted us with a question. "You ladies came to drink or to eat?" She asked. We came for both! We sat outside near the entrance way. It was a nice shaded corner and it gave some privacy from the plants that were decorated along the entry way. The menu was small and interesting. First hour is happy hour $2 off drinks and $10 off food. I'd say this place is perfect for drinks and apps. There isn't a big variety for entree's. But those appetizers were the show! Our Order: grilled riblets, garnish shrimp pieces, watermelon tomato salad beef sliders French fries and the blackened salmon. The ribs-10/10 fall off the bone seasoned well with some kind of green sauce at the bottom. The garlic shrimp- 10/10 in chili garlic oil with focaccia bread. Watermelon tomato salad- 10/10 feta cheese always takes the show! Beef sliders- 10/10 us just being greedy but so good. French fries- 9/10 decent portion! Blackened salmon- 8/10 compared to how flavorful the appetizer's were it made the salmon lack in taste. Something was missing but it was still good loved the coconut milk flavor in the jasmine rice! All in all 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

Between the awkward service and 1.5+ hour wait for food, this celebration didn't go the way we'd hoped. We had a 6:30 reservation for a party of 7 to celebrate my engagement with family visiting from out of town. We placed our order right away but didn't receive our food until after 8pm. To make matters worse, one plate was missing entirely, and that guest had to wait an additional 20 minutes for it to arrive. The server was apologetic about the wait and offered to comp our desserts as a gesture of goodwill, which we appreciated. When the final plate arrived, we were quietly discussing the $3 avocado upcharge among ourselves, since the tacos came with barely a sliver of avocado. The server apparently overheard us, because she returned moments later, silently set down a small plate with extra avocado next to our food, and walked away without a word. The gesture felt pointed rather than helpful, and it left the table feeling uneasy. The food and drinks themselves were decent. But by 8:45, we didn't want to wait even longer for the comped desserts, so I asked if we could have our drinks comped instead, since a couple of the cocktails were priced similarly to the desserts (which ran up to $16). The server seemed uncomfortable and said she could only comp two desserts, offering 10% off the bill instead. This wasn't what had been discussed earlier, but at that point we just wanted to wrap up the night, especially since my parents had a long drive ahead. Given the service, we'd quietly decided as a table not to leave an additional tip, only to find a 20% automatic service charge already added for large parties. This came as a surprise since it wasn't disclosed anywhere on the menu. It's a shame, because it's genuinely a charming space. Unfortunately, the service that night fell short, and it really affected what should have been a special evening.

They have an amazing happy hour menu that goes until 10 Pm. The prime rib tacos were SO amazing, not spicy, so flavorful and the texture of the corn salsa added so much to the whole bite. The garlic fries were fantastic, loaded with chopped garlic (jarred kind), parsley and parm. We also tried the loaded potato skins, they were great but I was pretty full by the time they came so we left a wounded soldier. The tumbleweed onion straws were also fantastic! My friends ordered prime rib, kabobs and the filet mignon and were nice enough to share! The prime rib is served on a sizzling plate with au jus, and was fantastic! The filet was well seasoned and the kabobs were good, although I prefer a little more rare. The appetizer happy hour menu had $6 and $8 items, food and drinks. The howdy beer was $4 and was pretty decent! My friends loved the $6 raspberry lemon drops! Above all of this though, our server was amazing. She worked her butt off for us and really made our visit Amazing. I'm the worst and only caught that her name started with a J, and she'd been there for 20 years. She was so attentive and recommended amazing dishes. I can't wait for our next annual trip, this place just became part of my tradition!

For a moment, we thought we had walked into Ruth's Chris! I honestly wanted to leave, but I didn't want to embarrass my other half. She ordered the 16-ounce prime rib dinner for $48 and asked for it as rare as they were willing to serve it. I ordered the smoky bbq bacon Burger for $23 and requested it medium done. The first prime rib they brought out was surprisingly small, extremely fatty, and well done--not even close to what she ordered. My burger was also cooked well done. I ate it because I didn't want to wait for another one, but she sent the prime rib back. The replacement was much better and properly cooked, which is the only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one. The service was disappointing as well. My water glass sat empty for the last 30 minutes we were there, and nobody offered to refill it. She also tried the mashed potatoes for the first time, and we both thought they were terrible. They had a strange sweet, mayonnaise-like flavor that did not belong in mashed potatoes. Our bill was approximately $100 for one prime rib dinner, one burger, and no drinks other than water. At those prices, the food and service should have been much better. Unfortunately, we won't be returning to this location again.
