If you know, you know. A locals bar that has cheap pours but awesome people and a super clean and cozy. The owner even puts a cute little jar of fresh flowers on each table everyday. There is a lounging area with a couch and chairs, and the ladies bathroom (It's a one stall) has a tiny powder room with mouthwash cups, with mouthwash and I think hand lotion. Then you get to a private full door bathroom with humorous vintage ads and "what to do for your man!". A++ Bartenders and locals there all around. And there is a smoking area out back.

Conveniently located yet hidden off in the cut, just the way I like it. I have been coming here for 18 years to wet my whistle. A great place to start your night out or the cherry on top of the end of your night out, or even a mid day libation.

Sacramento second oldest bar! Great drinks, great people and they often have free snacks or food. Don’t trust the stuffed animal claw machine. It will take your money.
