Omg. We loved The Shady Lady. The speakeasy vibe is a lot of fun. Travis makes the very best Sazerac, and he's a helluva nice guy. We're looking forward to our return.

Had a happy hour with some coworkers here a few weeks back. We got tons of appetizers and some fancy cocktails to celebrate Women in Construction week. The Brussel Sprouts are top 5 in Sacramento for sure. I consider myself to be somewhat of a Brussel Connoisseur haha. The glaze on them was unparalleled. They had mac n cheese balls that were really good too! The drinks were good but they take a long time to make.

Always enjoy a roaring 20's cocktail from here. Such a fun place to have a cocktail. The ambiance is amazing with a 1920 decor. Great drinks and great food.

Amazing starters to pair up their unique cocktail collections. Highly recommend sitting in the bar seating and on friday & saturdays they have live music ! White linen is a must try?

Double check your credit cards when you leave here and the recheck a couple days later. The bartenders will add an additional tip that you didn’t leave as well as price gauge you on your drinks. The managers and general managers are in on it too. Be safe and

Loooovvveeedddd this bar! This was our last pit stop before heading to a show next door at Ace of Spades. This place is dimly lit, the bar is big, but cozy, and there's some interesting artwork on the walls... it's bewbs. We just had a few vod sods here, but they do have a great looking cocktail menu and a delicious looking late night menu. The bartender told they also have Sunday brunch specials. There is an outdoor front patio which is probably good for day drinking and most likely offers great people watching on R Street. There is parking right across the street, but it's a paid lot. I say, play it safe and either Uber or Lyft here. Party hard and party safe.

Overall: Food was standard fareThe extended review...Food:Beignets - 3/5 - Pretty standard fare. Definitely not as airy as they should be.Duck Tots - 3/5 - I was looking for this to have more of the duck flavor in it. - Standard service. - They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor is definitely more done up and quite interesting. Not quite what I picture a saloon to be but I did like it.

It has been hit or miss with the drinks for me. I've had excellent cocktails and sub par cocktails. Always seems to be crowded.

Consumers Beware! The blonde bartender will steal from you. She purposely overcharged me and then went back and added a fake tip. Tipping herself well over 25% I took both copies of the receipts and never gave it back when I realized she overcharged me so this wasn't an accident . Management including Chad, Danny and the general manager Vince are all in on it. When I brought it to their attention they acted as if it was no big deal, refused to call me back and when I went in person they made excuses and continued to make me jump through hoops. It's been over a week and I still don't have my money back. This is fraud!!! Look through the one star reviews on here and Google and you will see how long this has been happening.

I went here on Saturday and ordered a burger at the bar. The burger was $16, the blonde bartender asked for a card I gave it to her and she put it in her pocket. I told her the only thing I would be ordering was the burger and can I have the receipt and my card. 5 mins later she gave me my card and the receipt. The total on the receipt was $22.29 and it wasn’t itemized. Ten percent tax on a $16 burger wouldn’t even bring me to $18 so I figured she must have tipped herself. I was upset but let it go. Come to find out I get an alert on my phone that she added an additional tip to bring the total to $26.75. This is theft. She stole an additional $10 from me and I’m sure this was not the first time, I still have the receipts
