    07/03/2026 7:00 PM Shout out to Christina, Sierra, and Bella! FOOD & DRINKS Steak and salad today. The grill here makes it easy to cook a perfect steak! I'm going to enter their first annual steak cooking contest! I think I have a good chance. Well, actually a GREAT chance!! SERVICE The staff is top notch. They are great at explaining the experience, food items and cocktails. They ask what you like and what you don't like and then make informed recommendations drawing on their experience and expertise. DECOR Dark, soft and cozy. Great 70's music playing. Not too loud currently. A nice chill vibe. Live music on certain nights of the week. Take a chance and come in to find out when and enjoy! CLEANLINESS Always clean! I have never experienced otherwise. They have pride in all that they do and it shows! LOCATION In the heart of Sacramento. Good street parking. A nice location! PRICE All in all, respectable. Comparatively speaking in our current financial climate, they are priced great! OVERALL EXPERIENCE Always enjoy coming back. I come alone, with another person, or a booger group. All are great experiences!

    So the wifey and I are day drinking our way thru Oak Park on this particular Saturday and as we were kinda walking aimlessly after a few beers at a local brewery-we ran across this simple unassuming door with the name The Butterscotch Den written across it-it's kinda crazy because I had no idea where this bar was and for sure didn't know it was in Oak Park-I couldn't have been happier as this bar has been high on my must visit list for months. When we walked in I knew I was in the perfect spot-this bar has those low lights that all the bars in the 70s and 80s had-giving off a both romantic and mysterious vibe to it-I was in love with the place from that moment on. The music that day was awesome-I heard they have live music at times but at the time of my visit they did not-they were instead playing 90s and 2000s R&B and Hip Hop-it was wonderful-one banger after another-so yeah I was vibing. Our waitress couldn't have been cooler-she was as friendly as can be-suggesting drinks that were both on and off the menu-her and I were sharing tequila stories based on our shared affinity for the Fortaleza tequila they had in stock -which is super rare and it's how I judge every bar-whether or not they have Fortaleza tequila on hand and The Butterscotch Den had multiple bottles on hand. We ended up going with a few drinks that day. -Strawberry Negroni-($13.00)-This one blew my socks off-my favorite drink in the works is a Negroni but this bar makes a Strawberry version of it and let me tell ya-it's dynamite-10/10 rating -Old Fashioned-($12.00)-This is my go-to order at most bars because it's pretty reliable and most bars can make a decent one and I'd say they make a very solid one here-8.2/10 rating -Cucumber Gimlet with Tequila-($11.00)-This drink was made with lime-sweet vermouth and tequila-it was very refreshing and went down way too easy-rating 8.4/10 -Mezcal mystery drink-($12.00)-This was a drink the bartender made that after we declared our love for the smokiness of mezcal-I wouldn't be able to ask for it again unless I got the same waitress but if your a mezcal lover like I am-this drink was top of the line-smokiness intensity off the charts-9.1/10 rating So a little about the place that I picked up during my visit-I guess they serve food-I didn't know that but after my 2nd drink I looked back and saw this entire dining area with table side grills-so I guess the customers cook their own meats and such-pretty cool concept-my visit was strictly a drinking visit so I didn't partake but it looked pretty cool. I guess they are opened most days from 4p-12am and until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights. They do not have a dedicated parking lot for this bar but they are located near 34th and Broadway-so unlimited street parking is available for those who drive here. In closing-I really really enjoyed my visit to The Butterscotch Den and I was pretty sure I had found my new favorite bar in Sacramento with a bar in the Ice Blocks but I am pretty sure that has changed and The Butterscotch Den is my new favorite bar in the greater Sacramento area-if you find yourself looking for a new spot to enjoy some adult beverages or maybe looking for a date night spot-don't hesitate to make your way over to The Butterscotch Den-the place is a true hidden gem. PS-They have a Disco Ball in their lounge area and a vintage non-working cigarette machine-the coolest I tell ya.

    My husband and I visited Butterscotch Den for Valentine's Day for a date night and to say that we were blown away from start to finish would be an understatement! It is located in Oak Park (which I love) right near Licked and Oaxaca on Broadway. Street parking is only available so that can be an issue at times. Butterscotch Den has been on my list for a while and we decided to make a reservation for the holiday. I absolutely loved the interior - it was so cozy and was the true definition of their motto - "fine diving." They have a huge bar when you walk in that is open seating plus cozy booths throughout. They also have a stage, but they did not have live music when we were there. The whole interior was decorated for the Valentine's Day holiday and I was in love. We were given a cute booth in front of the grilling area and decided to take advantage of their Lovers Lane menu (which runs for the whole month of February)! The Lovers Lane menu consisted of 2 glasses of wine, 4 dinner rolls, 2 side salads, 2 baked potatoes, a 12oz Ribeye, steamed prawns and chocolate fondue for $100! We added on their Pretzel from their Happy Hour menu and I opted out of the wine and upgraded to their infamous Frozen Gin Martini with a Caviar bump! I actually had 2 of these martinis and tried their Two's a Pear cocktail from the Lovers Lane menu. My husband also tried their Old Fashioned and ended the night with a Fernet Branca. The entire meal was incredible - compliments to the Chef AKA my husband who cooked a mean steak! Our server was great and very attentive even though they were very busy on Saturday! She was very personable and every employee that approached our table was great at explaining how to cook each item. We took our time with our meal which was the beauty of it - cooking at our own pace and never feeling rushed. I really loved the intimacy of just slowing down and cooking our own meal - it felt very romantic especially given the day. They also have merchandise that you can purchase - we took home 2 of their branded martini glasses for just $20 and their Happy Hour is every day from 4-6pm and 10pm to close as well. Overall, I cannot say enough good things. My husband and I had a wonderful time and it has become hands down my new favorite restaurant! I want to visit weekly - actually can I just move in?!

    no-jillo NA cocktail

    I'm not a drinker, but I love their NA menu. I cannot get enough of the no-jillo -- I'm dangerously addicted. It's so perfectly balanced and creamy. The ambience is such a vibe and the staff are amazing. I especially LOVE coming on First Fridays when Coco Lamarr sings. Such a hidden gem!

    Frozen Martini--recommended to me by a server at Canon. Great recommendation.
    Gabbi H.

    I can only speak to cocktails here--but we stopped in for a nightcap after dinner around 9:30 on a Saturday. They are known for their Frozen Martini, so I had to get that with a lemon twist. My husband had the strawberry Negroni which was also very delicious. The age range was wide from Gen Z to Gen X enjoying the bar and restaurant. I loved the moody lighting and the bartenders were super friendly and sweet. I'd come back for sure!

    Katherine C.

    What a cool experience! It's like American bbq but make it fancy with drinks and ambience. Service was so friendly and stellar from the hosts, bartender, to the waiter. We ordered from the happy hour menu - cocktails, hotdog, pretzel, cheeseburger. Not on the happy hour menu was the sirloin steak, dinner rolls, and baked potato. Everything was sooooo good! The wait was super quick and while we waited we were able to sit at the bar and get drinks. I would totally come again.

    Fun at the bbq!
    Sara D.

    Absolutely wonderful! Everything is reasonably priced. The service in ambience was amazing. You cook your own steaks or whatever meat you want and it is a blast we love the old-fashioned and the frozen martinis. I cannot recommend this place more. They have jazz on Tuesday and Thursday nights and it is at a reasonable noise level. We cannot wait to go back and recommend this experience to everyone.

    Our latest trip to The Butterscotch Den was during their Miracle on Broadway holiday drink experience. We made reservations weeks in advance so we could enjoy dinner with my husband's parents on a Thursday, which is one of their Jazz nights. The whole restaurant was decked out in decorations, the walls and ceilings were covered with festive decor. Along with the decorations they had their Miracle menu of drinks that included a variety of options with different alcohol options. They all came in cute cups and most of the cups were also able to be purchased to take home. We ordered a variety of drinks that ranged from $14-$17 depending on the drink. They also had mocktails available for $12. They all had festive flavors, and the fun glasses made it even more special. We also ordered food, they had regular menu items like the steaks, veggies and portabella mushrooms, and then some special items like fondu and chili. I shared chili, portabella mushrooms, and fondue for two (with a pretzel and top sirloin). They have the chili, fondue, and pretzel cooked for you, but the veggies and meats you grill yourself on the big grill. They have tools for you to use as well as seasonings and sauces. The fun thing about grill your own experiences is that you get to cook it to your taste, so with the high quality ingredients they offer it should taste great. The items they cooked for us were delicious too- the chili was really flavorful, the pretzel was cooked well, and the fondue was flavorful and the perfect dipping sauce. The staff was so friendly and were working very hard with the Miracle crowds coming through. They did a great job of taking care of all the tables while navigating a packed restaurant and bar. The musicians were also great, they played jazz versions of holiday music and it was a nice change from the classic versions of songs you typically hear. This is one of our favorite date night spots, so I know we'll be back again soon.

    Despite not being a big drinker, I am a sucker for holiday pop-up bars and Butterscotch Den's Miracle on Broadway is no exception. My coworkers and I stopped by for an impromptu visit on a Friday night and completely lucked out squeezing into a table for dinner -- we were informed that tables are booked out for the next several weeks, so getting in after a 15 min wait was a true holiday miracle :') I've been here before for the grill-your-own-burgers and steaks when they initially opened but I barely recognized the place with how completely transformed they were for the holidays, with festive decor, holiday cups (available for purchase) and an adorable (and delicious) selection of themed cocktails: try the Christmapolitan, Reindeer spritzers and Run Rudolph Run! You can grill your own burgers/steaks at a communal grill instead of tableside (a plus to avoid that smoky meat smell on your clothes for the rest of the day) or if you aren't in the mood to work the grill, they also have Fondue for Two ($30) and Den Beef Chili. A great opportunity to impress your date with your grilling skills, but instructions are also included for novices like me (noob tip: the buns toast much quicker than you think!) * My only gripe is that I've frequently seen inadvertent mixing between the grillware for raw vs cooked, so there could be more emphasis on signage to distinguish between the two to avoid cross contamination. Service was friendly and accommodative-- I was so incredibly appreciative of the staff for squeezing us in without a reservation and even bringing us complimentary wine spritzers! A perfect casual hang-out or date spot for dinner and drinks, complete with cozy holiday vibes (+live jazz/music on select nights). if you're coming with a big group, make sure to plan ahead and get reservations well in advance for big groups as it can be a 1-2 hour wait (there's a standing waiting area at the bar where you can get drinks but no food). Happy hour runs from 4-6pm and again from 10pm-closing, and be sure to swing by before Jan 3rd to catch their Miracle popup!

    Dim lighting and cozy booths! A great place for date and catching up with a friend. Amazing service and the happy hour is just right! I even feel more confident about cooking meat on my own after the tips and pointers from our server. That's right you have to cook your own meats and vegetables here! They give you the all the seasonings and you are in charge! I ordered the burger and they are pressed fresh daily. Juicy and delicious I was so impressed with myself. I also had the pretzel and the beer cheese was lick the cup worthy!

    Fondue
    Rebecca B.

    I've been wanting to try Butterscotch Den for so long, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The space was perfectly decorated for Christmas! Grilling your own meat was such a fun, interactive experience, and the fondue was delicious. The cocktails were expertly made, festive ~ clearly crafted by someone who knows what they're doing. A heads-up: this isn't really a spot to pop into with a large group and linger at the bar, as the bar space doesn't accommodate that well. Reservations are definitely the way to go. From the hostess greeting us at the door to our food server, the service was absolutely flawless ~ warm, friendly, and attentive. We loved the entire experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! Such a fun place!

    Went to this little hidden gem for date night with my guy and was so pleased with our choice! We went on a Monday evening, and the service was amazing from the jump, we were greeted at the door and taken straight to a big, cozy booth that gave major romantic vibes. Now listen, I am not a gin fan. I usually run the other direction. But I'd heard so much about their famous dirty freezer martini that I was seriously debating giving it a shot. The waitress saw me hesitating and actually offered me a sample before I committed... love that! To my surprise, I kinda liked it. It was crisp, freezing cold (as promised), and went down smooth. So I went ahead and ordered one. Also, their drinks? Gorgeous. The ice cubes even have "BD" etched on them, which felt fancy in the best way. Now, once it warmed up a bit, that gin taste came creeping back, and yeah... nope. Not for me. I switched to a different drink, don't remember the name, but I liked it a lot more. My guy stuck with his classic old fashioned and it hit the spot. Food wise, we ordered a few things to share: the pretzel and dip to start, solid choice, then steak, shrimp, and the large mushroom for mains. The whole "season and cook it yourself" vibe was actually super fun, and everything turned out pretty tasty.... except the mushroom. No matter how we tried, it was just soggy and weird. Hard pass on that next time. One really cute touch? At the end of the night, they give you a postcard. You can keep it or fill it out and drop it in their snail mail box. I sent one to my grandma, who really enjoys things like that, and a week later she called me so excited. Totally made her day... and mine too, honestly. Overall? Such a cool, unique experience. We'll definitely be back for another cozy date night. Just... won't be ordering the mushroom.

    I've had this place saved for a long time and I can't believe it took me so long to check it out! Came here for drinks during on of their jazz nights (Tuesdays & Thursdays from 7-9) and will definitely be back to try grilling our own steaks! It's a unique concept -- dive bar but make it upscale! Drinks are affordable and the ambiance is mellow but fun. The bartender made me a yummy mocktail with elderflower syrup & ginger beer. My partner got an old fashioned and it was strong -- he liked it! This is a great place for small groups (4 or less) or date night, highly recommend!

    The Butterscotch Den Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - The Butterscotch Den

    What comes with a happy hour steak for 899?

    The steak, no sides, for you to season and grill.

    My husband and I would like to go here for dinner on Thursday. But we only have a little over an hour for time. Is that enough to cook and eat?

    I guess it all depends on what you get to cook and how you cook it. They do have smoked sausage that shouldn't take too long. The burgers are always good too. I think you should have enough time for most of the food. I do recommend the Bobby Burns… 

    Is there a chicken option or only steaks?

    Steaks, burgers and a portabella mushroom option. They have shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and during summer they usually have hot dogs.

    Do they have reservations on Saturdays? Because someone in the reviews said they don't, but on Yelp I was able to reserve a table for 2 on a Saturday.

    We had a group event there. I believe our group was maybe 10 people. So I know for sure you can if it's a party. As far as reservations for two. I've only done a walk in and it was a long wait but I had cocktails while waiting

    Is this 21+ only?

    Yes.

    Is this reservation only?

    No it is not. We usually have great luck on Sunday evenings. It gets packed on Friday and Saturday.

    Does the meat come with anything? Or do you need to purchase sides separately?

    You purchase sides separately however the cost is nominal. Best sides are the veggies and baked potato.

    Do they accept credit cards?

    Yes, including tap to pay and ApplePay

    How are the grills cleaned between patrons? Asking because wire brushes can leave behind wire pieces that can cook into the food. Metal in my food - no thanks!

    Do they accept reservations, is this a good location for a large group of 8 people?

    They do now! I wouldn't recommend for a bigger group. I think there are options for such but might not be ideal. Maybe a group of 6 max

    Fantastic Spot To "Pregame" Shows @ Goldfields Next Door…read more SITREP We descended upon the Tack Room an hour before our show for "Ally The Piper" (both the classical AND heavy metal bagpiper extraordinaire) began her show! THE SETUP Goldfields is a charming, rustic country-western stylized saloon that serves up beer at good prices. But we weren't interested in beer and wanted quality cocktails. Hence, our pivot next door to the Tack Room! QUALITY COCKTAILS & DRINKS! The Tack Room specializes an amazing array of martinis, bourbons, and other deLISH cocktail drinks at really really reasonable prices! So this was an excellent choice to chill, thus avoiding the tremendous *noise pollution* we were immediately subjected to upon entering Goldfields an hour later for our show. THE LOWDOWN This is a quality bar with plenty of comfortable seating to relax and have quiet, intimate conversations. So if you and your later friend(s) want some privacy, cocktails at a reasonable price, etc., this is a good way to go.

It's themed around horse racing, but not in an overbearing or... tacky way. The mixologist was delightful and had great recommendations, the lights were dim, and the drinks were all on point. The highlight was the espresso martini, which is among the best I've had. It was reminiscent of the one I had at the Starbucks Roastery in NYC, which is high praise. The other coffee drink that surprised me was the Revolver. I always forget about what a good pairing orange and coffee is, and I'll be taking this one back home with me to try! Every other drink we tried was delicious in some unique way. The Pho drink was savory and surprising, the New York Sour was rich and flavorful, and the Practical Move was refreshing. Will definitely return here after dinner to sip an espresso martini for dessert!

I also had the Al pastor taco, which was good but a little dry but I wouldn't hold that over them. Ordered a hibiscus margaritas well and it was delicious. I want to say they specialize in mezcal cocktails? So if you're not a fan of mezcal, there is beer as an option. I came around 4pm so it was a bit empty but the staff was welcoming. Place was cleaned and very cute. There is also plenty of street parking available. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and want a quick meal with a delicious cocktail!

This is my first classic martini (unlike lychee martinis I've had before at other places). My server asked how I like it, with olive juice or with lemon twist or another option I don't remember. To be honest I don't know how I like it because it's is my first classic martini. So I was honest with him. I said I'll do whatever you recommend because I wanted to try a classic martini cuz I've been watching Gossip Girl. I felt silly admitting I wanted a martini because of a tv show. But my server actually did his research and found that Blair (a main character in the show) likes her martini with a lemon twist. And that is the martini I got. He brought frozen glass and poured the drink on the spot. It was such a vibe and a great drink. For food I got the grilled prawns. This dish is delicious and goes so well with my martini! For my second drink I got the shiso fresh. I was debating between two drinks and asked my server for suggestions. He is absolutely right with this recommendation. Shiso fresh is refreshing and sweet but not too sweet. I loved it. Service is wonder and drinks are tasty. I can't wait to come back!

    My third visit to Midtown Spirits and I still had an amazing dinning experience…read more I absolutely love The dude abides cocktail. It was strong; however, I enjoyed the blend of vodka, milk, and cold brew coffee liqueur over a large cold brew ice cube. The chicken lumpia's were delicious, especially with the sweet chili dipping sauce. We ordered the ube pancakes to share as this is one of our favorites. It is too heavy to devour alone. I am so glad that I decided to try the hella loco as it consisted of all the proteins that I like....beef patty, bacon, spam, longanisa, and eggs. No complaints on this visit and I will be dinning in again in the near future.

    Im a bit disappointed in the happy hour food…read more I've been here several times for their drinks, but something just didn't click in my most recent visit. I came here for happy hour and ordered a handful of their items. Chicken Lumpia - over all I was pleased with how piping hot, fresh out the fryer it was. A bit thin for my linking but I appreciated there were 6 pieces. The sauce did not pair well. There was something off about it that isn't your typical sweet and sour; maybe the sauce was made in house. Sisig fries - decent portion of fries but fell short on the pork. Lacked an egg and didn't really meet the sisig flavors that I'm used to. You can definitely taste the zestiness of the lemon - nice touch, but other than that it's just fries with pork, red onion and green onion garnish. Hot dog - a $9 happy hour hot dog was the biggest disappointment. Sure the bread texture was good, toasted with a nice chew, but that was it. The dog itself was charged to my linking but it really didn't feel worth the money spent for its portion. Fries - 100% would get again. Cauliflower bites - I liked this too, flavor was good but such a small portion our table has to order two. Similar to the hotdog, not sure if it's worth the spend for the portion size. Despite the food not satisfying my cravings, the service was great. The young lady was helpful and was working hard taking orders, making drinks and delivering the food. The place was pretty busy at least the indoor area. Plenty of seating outside, but in this heat not sure if it's a good idea. Didn't see any misters but would be a nice touch to draw in more folks. Side note: some of the cocktails are premade, and can be overly sweet.
