“This is a great old school bar which we absolutely plan to visit again. Popped in for a couple of (tasty) Bloody Marys and we were not disappointed. Had we known that posole and taquitos were going to show up we wouldn't have stuffed ourselves at The Stagecoach first! Great service and can't beat the drink prices.“
“Absolutely friendly never a negative experience here no fights no one gets buligrent and loud just real conversation yes older folks some young but calm fun setting with fun karaoke and I've used the men's rest room here and I'm female multiple times over span of 3 yrs. I've attended here and feel very safe! the bar tenders know me and I look younger then I am but just positive everytime with every one I interact with“
“Rex is hands down the best karaoke DJ EVER. He and the whole crew at Mother Lode will make you feel right at home, like family. In town for a business trip not knowing a soul and was instantly welcomed at this humble bar by good hearted people. ❤️“
“My man wanted to get a drink around noon and we were downtown. The usual bars dont open until 4pm. My guy said he heard of a place that was open now and has cheap good drinks. So I said why not. When we got to the door I knew what time it was (dive bar). It's not pretty. But I felt comfortable. It was a mix of people old and young. The bar is old but if those walls could talk. The stories it would tell. The man behind the counter was nice and promptly served us. We asked for Mai Tai's. He was honest and said he couldn't remember how to make it. It's been years lol. We made it easy for him and got 4 Old fashions (2 each). They were good and strong. Not watered down and got the job done. And the best part. Only $16. That's unheard of now days. Good place to pregame before a event or if you want a quick cheap drink without all the pomp and circumstances this place is cool.“
“I honestly haven't been here in about 30 years, but a reddit user vented so I came here to show my support.This business has been here for a very long time. I used to go w/ my friend when he worked for pac bell (ATT). So much fun. Good times.Not a dance club. Just a bar w/ some pool tables. Perfect for someone like me.“
“Popped in just because. This was a past happy hour stopping ground of mine . Wow, the prices are almost the same .The only thing that changed was the bartender. Please, no rifl raf allowed . Enjoy a drink and conversation . Also sports fans are welcome for games.Wheelchair accessibility: You ate welcomed.“
“Chad, Laura, and Sara create tasty mixed drinks in a hip, popping atmosphere filled with great tunes by local (and visiting) D.J.'s. Drop by for drinks, conversation, and fabulous music flowing!Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access in front and back of building.“
“I casually began going into Buda in 2018 or so, and I am so glad that I did. Acquaintances have turned into friends, and many of those friends have turned into family. This place has it ALL - strong drinks, yummy food, the BEST bartenders, friendly customers, a TON of tv's for any and all sporting events, karaoke on Fridays, trivia on Tuesdays...I could go on and on. The owner, Bull, is an absolute sweetheart who will come in and make sure everyone is doing well and having a good time. The bartenders always make sure your drinks are full, and E, the cook, will hook you up with some of the best BBQ in town(try his tri-tip & mac and cheese!). Note: If you're a Sacramento Kings fan, stop in to watch a game on one of their big screens, and if they win, Buda has their own BEAM to light up - mic drop!“
“Cinders is a great bar with a large diversity in patrons and staff. The owner, Andy Soto is a fun open guy that will get down with anyone. Kevin Frankenstein is a great professional bartender. He pays attention to the patrons and recalls what you like to drink. Beast, security: Great guy with a gentle giant vibes. Ivys Entertainment on Wednesdays and Thursdays is really amazing! Has the best sound system.“
“Ok...I love dive bars from time to time! This is a good , neighborhood bar. Shuffleboard,a pool table ,locals , you know, the usual suspects! The bartender is awesome and she has been there a long time. The woman who owns the place is very nice, friendly and HOT!! ?.... SERIOUSLY.They sometimes have food and always have little bowls of pretzels or something out. The music box is a great one and the sound system is ample . All in all, a great place to chill and drink without going broke. You will love it.“
“This place hasn’t changed much since 2016, and I really appreciate that. Great prices, really good bar food, friendly unpretentious employees, and solid music blasting. Where one can either start or end the night, if that makes sense.I thought it was really funny this most recent time at this spot, we overheard some guy who came straight from Ace hitting on the bartender, saying how he used to come here years ago and asked if she knew so and so (name drop). She did not. Don’t hit on your bartender.“
“If you are looking for a neighborhood bar, minus a look when you walk in from all the "locals" which is typically, unwelcoming (personal experience from other local jaunts), then Tallac is your reprieve. The staff is friendly, as well as the regular patrons. Great drinks, clean, friendly staff and patrons...what more could you want or need. Enjoy.“
“Nice place to stop by for a drink and SURPRISE they also have decent food too. I only had the pork belly stir fry and that was such a great tasting dish. Service is always on point and it's a nice regular spot to go to nearby some great eateries Recommend!“
“The Idle Hour Is becoming better and better, this Diamond in the rough is becoming a value for its neighborhood crowd as well as the new crowd coming from all over Sacramento area, it may have been once labeled a dive bar' but in no way is that true' just visit the idle hour; and you'll enjoy the people and all of the bartenders. it's just really comfortable, "all are welcome" come in and check your problems and attitude at the door and have a good time; if you want to hear some music put your coins in the jukebox and listen to whatever you want! Also there's: pool tables and karaoke on Friday and there's a DJ Saturday night as well as plenty of good food on the menu! There's Morgan, Shawnee. and Brian who just returned to the Idle, all three are great bartenders they'll treat you right if not better! Their smile, as well as yours always goes well. there's a patio out back so you can relax, security is a plus they make you feel comfortable and safe. so after a long day busting your rear at work' forget your problems, come down to the Idle Hour: relax and enjoy the company of the bartenders and those people around you and have a good time! play a game of pool if you have a four quarters to spend' I'll see you on the tables.“
“Where do I actually begin! I will start with the good!!! The drink prices are just phenomenal. I believe this is the last standing hole in the wall with the cheapest strongest drinks on the planet. If you are brave enough to get a double shot that should be your last shot! Because baaaaby it will definitely put you on your a**! In a good way. The next best thing - the people! There will be some many conversations you never know where to jump in. There is always a story with very little to no drama. I swear it's like Cheers on the TV show - where everybody knows your name. The Bartender's! Kudos to them because they stay busy! And they always remember what you like to drink! They pour heavy drinks so be prepared. Lastly, pack a chair in the truck. If it's crowded, you won't find a seat anywhere. Besides the fun is always outside!“
“I love the atmosphere here! The staff are always super friendly and the drinks are reasonably priced. There’s a patio outside which is a huge plus too! I see that they promote a lot of events, so I’ll definitely be back for one of those!“
“This honestly thee place. I've been here for breakfast lunch and dinner. Love the breakfast menu! I worked nocs so having this place open was great! I come here for games and different games and honestly the vibe is always it. I've been to different "hip" place that always disappoint and always end up here. Love it here :) service is great here too. Only thing I would suggest is investing in better bathrooms but other than that tis a vibe“
“I went to hilltop tavern to play pool and I was pleasantly surprised that not only do they have a good pool table but also a dart board, shuffle board and pingpong table! This bar is so fun and really nicely decorated. I imagine it might get pretty crowded some nights though because it's not super big. I also ordered a margarita and it was one of the best I've had! They made it packed full of lime flavor with a good rim of salt. 5/5 bar!“
“ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS a good time here at The Office.Looking for a strong pour this dive bar is your place to be. I drink to celebrate life not escape it. Up for a challenge in a game of pool? Or just hang out with friends, new and old, all are welcome. You won’t be judged for day drinking either. ? ? Staff are friendly and attentive. ? iykyk“
“Came here after a white party. .Had some good drinks here and surprisingly it's better than the over price drinks at the fancy place near by. .I got a Hendricks gin and tonic, cost me 8 bucks. My friend got a Malibu sunset for 6 bucks. We loved our drinks. The price point is affordable too. .The ambiance was chill. It wasn't crowded and we enjoy the vibe. We felt great, had a good time and left. They take credit card too which is a plus..Overall come here for some good strong drinks before going to a fancy place. They have a full bar here so you can enjoy all your drinks. Hope this review help, thanks for reading and have a yelptastic day!“
“The people working here are always nice. The bar food was good. Burger and fries. Beers and shots. Nice area outside to smoke and bring your dog. Pool table. Juke box. Mostly vibes. The people hanging out seemed like usuals and everyone i met here was super friendly. Nice sized beer selection. Definitely something for everyone. Bathroom was clean.“
“Came here for Emo Night. At first (8p) there was maybe 25 people. At about 1030, there was probably 100. It was a blast! I've been to other emo nights and this one was fun even tho there wasn't a live band this time. Drinks weren't as bad as other reviews say. Customer service was cool. There were 2 really clean single person bathrooms. There's a liquor store maybe 200 ft if u need anything. There were lasers, fog, and passionate people. Music was loud. My heart rate was high. But even more, my emo thirst was quenched.“
“I'm giving a 5 star review because all the bartenders. Anna,Tom and Kelly are always awesome. Rodney on the other hand was incredibly disrespectful. Even after buying him a shot he not only threw my drink away but continued to talk over me when I was trying to keep things cool. I normally tip minimum 20% but his attitude was not okay. And I think he acted out extra because of the tip which is extra wwrong. We have always been cool so unsure of the miscommunication but professionally speaking that's unacceptable.“
“I just spent a few hours at The Long Shot today, and found it to be a terrific "Dive Bar" in Arden across from Whole Foods. The bartender was very attentive, as well as handsome, the drinks were well poured, and the customers were fun and talkative. Just what you're looking for at a bar. I highly recommend the bar. Next time, I'll try it at night, but I doubt it will be any more fun. PJ ( A happy Customer)“
“Brownies Irish PubWell whaddaya know Brownies has gotten janky! They've recently had a refreshing facelift, which brings in a breath of fresh air by opening up to the outside via a modern roll top garage door with frosted glass panes. Theyve maintain the integrity of their high back horseshoe booths, which have been refurbed with tufted realistic pleather. And they now have natural wood pub tables tastefully situated between the booth in the bar. Oh yes and that really long dark bar, which will always be the centerpiece of Brownie's lounge, no longer has a weird sticky waxy feel to it it does if the whole thing has been stripped and refinished... bellisimo! They have a small bites menu available during happy hour with your regular pub food. You know fries, chicken strips, Cesar salad, etc. Brownie's is nestled in the South Hills shopping center on Land Park Drive between Las Flórez bar and grill and the SF Supermarket. There are plenty of free parking spaces available which is a bonus and you can play music on the juke box and sing karaoke. At least that's what I observed when I was there. They also have at least 1 pool table.“
“Got so lucky finding this Bar and Grill! I dont know the name of the sandwich I ordered but it was the 2nd item from the top, Had a little speice to it, lots of ham and other meat.... Bartender was very sweet, loved the local feel, we sat at the BAR“
“I visited on a Saturday night, not many customers at first, and 1 bartender on duty. Tony was very nice and conversational. Drinks ? were great, music was great. As the night progressed, lots of regulars came in that made the overall feel like old friends at a party. Will definitely visit again sometime.“
“Dive Bar is such a beautiful and unique experience just going into the bar and watching the mermaids. On top of it, they have all kinds of events and themes to make it extra fun. I was lucky enough to get a closer experience than most, and that's what I want to tell you about. I won their mermaid for a night contest in 2015. I received training by mermaid Rachel and got to swim in their tank. Some people think it's possible to win this contest by buying online votes, but no one has ever won based on online votes (except the first run, which was only online). I worked hard to win that contest, going to dive bar 4 nights out of the week of in bar voting. I spoke to nearly every patron in the bar and ended up winning by a landslide. I didn't bring in friends with lots of money to buy enough drinks to get me votes, or reach out to some random person on the internet to get me online votes. I went in the bar and did the work - which is pretty much the only way to win, because that's what dive bar wants the contestants to do! This magical contest gave a group of girls the opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to become a mermaid. And the contest was set up in a way that only those who really wanted it could win. Some people are giving Dive such a hard time for this contest, and its truly sad because it's ruining it for everyone, and the complaints are baseless. Much love to the dive bar mermaids and the magic they bring �“
“I went there with a group of friends for karaoke and the people are so welcoming and fun. One drink minimum to participate in karaoke and that's awesome to keep supporting this business. Will recommend for any one to go who just wants to grab a drink or sing your heart away.“
“Drove and met some friends here for our weekly outing and had a great time. Food and drinks were great! Prices are very reasonable and the service was better than expected. Friendly and fast. Great decor and atmosphere settings. Will be coming back again.“
