Best cocktails in town!!Hands down!!Amazing prices for happy hour!I've been a bartender for over 10 years and never have I wanted to try all the cocktails on any menu before till I came here!I had 4 different ones..Definitely coming back to try the others!Even the mocktails my friend ordered were goodThe small bite were delicious alsoWe reordered some! ?I thought the bill would be in the 200's and it was only half that!All the drinks and small bites we hadI was happily shocked on how low the bill actually was!4.7 stars I rate would definitely be 5 stars if the bartender/owner smiled more and tried to be lil more social if they have time.May i suggest they leave the anchor glass pitcher with the guest for the short water glass to be refilled quicker.

Went before a show at Broadway Sacramento. We got there fairly early which was key as they don’t take any reservations. Split several small plates which allowed us to try a lot of really good food. Atmosphere is fun, drinks were great.

You can't go wrong at this lovely upscale establishment. You can come in jeans and a t-shirt. The decor is inviting but what will keep you coming back is the leveled up cocktails and the delicious food. Staff is super friendly! They often are booked for private event so keep that in mind when coming. You may want to call in advance. Did I mention that most of their menu is gluten free?!?

Overall: Definitely loved the ambiance. Food was standard fare.The extended review… - Got a lot of share plates and they were each pretty standard fare. For me nothing really stood out as being a huge winner from the feast. Presentation isn’t usually a big thing for me but there were a few dishes that didn’t resemble the image of what the place wants to be. - Friendly and attentive waitstaff. - I have to say I’m pretty impressed with the look and feel of the place.

This place was great. We had a lot of tapas which were all fantastic. The sangria was delicious and well made. For sure will come back.

Came here for a girls night! Parking was easy as it was after 6:30 pm on a Thursday. Street parking was available. When you walk in you seat yourself. The aesthetic here is every girls dream. Ordered the falling up and endless summer mocktails ($9 each) and small plates ( shrimp tacos, roasted garlic and Parmesan arancini, Brussels sprouts and meatballs). Everything was delicious and filling for two people. Food and drinks came out quickly. We will be back! Rated 4/5 stars as small plates seemed slightly over priced but other than that we loved it!

We didn't try the food. We watched The Grinch play down the street and it started pouring rain hard! We ran into this place to seek shelter until the rain calmed down and we were so glad we did. The drinks are SO good! We will definitely be back. Service was 10/10. This is an upscale restaurant/bar.

Meeting two girlfriends for drinks and appetizers, and mostly to gossip and catch up, we decided on Juju kitchen and cocktails. It is located in the lobby of one of the hotels downtown near the capital. Parking was easy enough given that it is street parking and most of it requires a small fee until at least 8 PM. The space itself is quite small, but we managed to find a table. The server was very kind and attentive. We actually did not partake in any cocktails, but ended up having some wine. To nibble, we shared the roasted brussels sprouts, the potatoes, and a flaky mushroom pastry. All three of the dishes were absolutely delicious, but the real star were the accompanying aïoli sauces. The prices are fair, especially given its location in downtown near the capital. I will definitely be coming back to Juju to try more of the menu and their infamous cocktails.

Such a chill place. I only hesitate to post this because I don’t want to blow up the spot but if you’re looking for a chill seat yourself solid service but great food spot for your cocktails and eats then you’re in luck. I don’t easily support no fries on anyone’s menu but they have roasted potatoes that go harder than most restaurants’ fries can attempt to. Check it out, I’m here on a Saturday with no line no wait and a great bevy of selections to feed your hunger and quench your thirst. (Great gluten free options too)
Exquisite seasonal food & drinks program curations here, w chill ambience & pro staff! A gem of a true cocktail bar smack dab in the heart of Sac. ?Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan and gluten -free choices, easily shown on menu.?

Their Instagram page had me wanting to try the specialty cocktails and they did not disappoint. Loved the small bites also. We ordered the Brussel sprouts, potatoes, beef tacos and the falafel ate absolutely everything. So good. Will be back. I got there early, like 4:30, and it was very slow. It picked up and was packed by 5:30. Service was great though and food and drinks came quickly.

Big fan of good cocktail bars, and I count this as one. Friendly, fast service and solid house cocktails at a reasonable city price. Check out their weekly specials for a good deal.

Had the opportunity to visit Juju Kitchen & Cocktails for a friend's recent birthday. It's pure satisfaction when you've had a place bookmarked, get the chance to finally try it and you actually have a great experience. My immediate first impression walking in, I'm like "okay this place is cute." Cute aesthetics, for a date night or girls night out. The food is prepared beautifully too. Peep my pictures to see what I'm talking about. I wouldn't say this place is good for large groups. Street parking is available or a parking lot across the street. They also do have an outdoor, dog-friendly patio. Service was okay. I'm not sure if our server was busy since it was happy hour but I just wished he checked in on us and filled our water more. Other than that, I would highly recommend this place especially for happy hour and light appetizer bites.

Came here on a Friday night around 7pm after seeing their recent seasonal Gettin Figgy Wit It cocktail posted on their Instagram. Also love small plates/tapas since they give you the ability to try lots of things during a single meal.The environment is very open, somewhat industrial with the concrete floor, high ceilings, and large windows, but also mid-century modern with the pink wall behind the bar, light wood accents, and furniture. Comfortable, clean, but a bit cold with the AC blasting.We of course ordered their Gettin Figgy Wit It which includes Mezcal so if you like a smokey flavored drink, you have to try this. We also tried their Daydream Believer cocktail which is a more fruity rum based drink that I absolutely loved.For small plates, we had their grilled shrimp tacos with chipotle slaw, roasted yukon gold potatoes with spicy aioli, arugula salad with goat cheese, dried cranberries, mandarin orange slices, and walnut pieces, fried Brussels sprouts with lemon aioli, and barbacoa tacos with white onion, cilantro, and salsa verde. Everything except the barbacoa tacos were perfect! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and had great fresh flavor, the potatoes were perfectly salted, the arugula salad was well balanced, and the aiolis paired nicely. The barbacoa tacos were unfortunately not as tender, juicy, or flavorful like expected and the salsa verde was lacking in depth and flavor, but for this being our only let down given everything we tried, it was an overall success! Would love to go back. Great place to share food with good company and sip on quality craft cocktails.
