Alone on Elvas, Lefty's serves beer and food.They have a large selection of rotating taps, including some wines and ciders. Eat & drink indoors or on their large, quiet patio.Their delicious burgers are featured on their menu along with sandwiches,  standard bar bites and some spicy surprises.Chill surroundings, friendly staff, quick service. Good food, cold beers. Why are you waiting?

So far so good. For the short time I got to be there I had a good time and the owners seem cool. I'll definitely be going back and hopefully get to try some of that barbecue. There's a mechanic across the street that seems good and if you ever need to get your car fixed, it's nice that you could go across the street and hang out while it's getting done.

Lefty's is a great neighborhood spot. We have quite a few scooter related get togethers there, and I'm consistently impressed by the friendliness of the staff, the selection of beer, and the ample outdoor seating. I haven't tried it myself, but I have heard nothing but good things about the food offerings as well. Personally, I can't get enough of the vanilla cream brew they have on tap, or some of the legit Kolsch / Czech pilsners. They do growler fills, too, but you do need to bring your own growler. Taking off one star (sorry guys!) because the seating area gets REALLY WET during the summertime when the misters are on. Like, sit under an umbrella wet. That said - it doesn't get too hot on the 100+ degree days, so give and take. Definitely worth popping by here for a pint or three.

Came in to try the weekend brunch. We got the Salie's Sando with sausage and the Farmer Ted's Chicken Sando. Both were excellent! Farmer Ted's had some heat in the add-ons (fresh jalapenos, ghost pepper cheese, hot sauce).They had a wide variety of beers on tap, as well as ciders and wine.

Lefty’s has become my family’s go-to spot when we want a relaxed dinner and somewhere to play cards for a while. The specials can be hit or miss but the regular menu items are all pretty great for a taproom. Huge drink selection, including an impressive beer list, a handful of good ciders, and even some decent wines. They don’t have much indoor seating but the large covered (finally!) patio has ample space with plenty of misters for the hot summer months and strong propane heaters for the winter. We come year-round and always have a great time.They have room for improvement in the ambiance department but overall a great place to relax with friends and family (and dogs!).

This is one of the better brewpubs in the area. They have an excellent beer list and the food is quite tasty. The outdoor area is quite comfortable. We plan to be regular customers.

This is a solid restaurant/taproom near work! Melea was at the bar/register that helped the group with our Beer and Food order. I love how their beer menu shows how full their beer kegs are. My BBQ Burger was 2 smashburgers with bacon and a massive onion ring. 4/5 on flavor. The fries were well seasoned! I can see myself returning again! There are 2 TV's outside with seating both inside and outside.

The food is hidden Miss but if you like a hamburger they always have those on the menu and they are either really good or OK ha ha your pic toss a coin... The owner here is the original owner of dad's in Sacramento which everybody remembers he sold all of his businesses and this is what he has went too... here is my only real complaint with this place and I decided today I won't be back for beer because honestly I hate paying absorbent prices for a beer beer prices here are 11.50 for a 16 oz beer, they do offer a 5 oz sz too... NO BEER PRICES ARE LISTED. I would not be surprised if higher octane beers are more . (The beer I had today was 6.5%) The burger today was soggy & Wet full of GREASE AND WRAPPED WITH A BUNCH OF WET TOMATOES so the cheap bun was mush... And the onion rings were cold. I live two minutes away this is probably one of the worst burgers I've had so far but what the hell what's new. turning me off on the food here today and what a waste of money. If you're looking for consistency you won't find it here hopefully who's ever in the kitchen is paying attention enough to actually care. I am old-school I don't believe in breaking the bank on a beer rather buy a six pack and call it good. (which by the way if you are into fancy IPAs you can get a four pack for $16 average price of 16 ounce beers) you determined what the value is to you . Todays over all experience w/ beer & food 1 Beer & 1 hamburger $28.00 w/$2 tip $30

First time on 10-5-2023. Ive been in Sacramento for 20 years and finally made it there . Had a great time! Me and my buddy went for trivia. Lots of beer on tap. Food was delicious. Especially the brisket chili, i had two cups of it. I'll definitely be back next Thursday to redeem myself in trivia !

Lefty's Taproom is racist. I gave them my tribal ID when ordering a beer, and the older white man asked "Oh, so you're an Indian huh?" while using his hands to imitate a feather cap. He then asked me questions such as "How many casinos do you own?" and "How much money do you make from them?" VERY racist and harmful comments. Please educate your staff that we are NATIVE AMERICAN and do not imitate our culture/ask stereotypical, racist questions. Boooooo.

Sometimes You have a crappy night with crappy service and you just want another drink so you go somewhere just to get a buzz on and you don't expect much. Well Leftys, the service, the food, the beer, you blew it out of the water. I'm terrible, I'm terrible for not remembering their names but the two people running the show right, literally ran the SHOW! They were nice, they were fun, they turned a bad night into gold. GOLD!!!! Also get the shallots in the Mac and cheese. Trust me. It makes it so good. I'm coming back!!!!
