Been here for a fun 80s themed Yelp event and more recently for "May the 4th Be With You" (5/4/26) celebration with specially-themed cocktails and Star Wars trivia. I'll admit we sucked at trivia but it was a lot of fun. The Star Wars nerds made it a raucously fun night! If you're a 70s, 80s or 90s kid, you will appreciate the neon/Bowie/C3PO/8-tracks/arcade games that decorate the walls and comfy lounge. There is no food, except maybe bags of small chips for purchase. The bartenders are chill and drinks are strong (some more than others). Prices are average, I guess, for any bar in Midtown. Cool place to go when you want nostalgic vibez of the best era to grow up in! read more

This is my favorite bar in Midtown and everyone is great, but Ryan is our favorite. He makes great drinks and, even though they're always busy, he is super attentive and keeps everything moving. We always have a great time whenever Ryan is behind the bar! read more

8-Track - Beautiful scenery and seating at 8-Track! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

It was such a blast from the past to finally step into 8 track, knowing it was my old stomping grounds of the infamous Press Club. I was wanting a nice cocktail and a friend suggested 8-Track. I was NOT disappointed! I ordered a French 75 and a espresso martini and both were perfect . We came on a Tuesday, so the vibe was super chill and not sure how it would be on a friday or Saturday night. read more

So much fun! We had a couple of delicious drinks,played pool and jammed to 80s music. loved our bartender. He made great drinks and had a great vibe to him. They also have pin ball! You walk in and every wall is covered in 80s paraphernalia. If you don't go here you'll be missing out. read more

Great vibes at 8 Track- Star Wars fans and peeps in general will dig this bar with its nicely-decorated walls and games in addition to the bar. The bartenders are down-to-earth and knowledgeable and I liked the holiday drinks as well as the regular cocktail menu. I also love that they're open till 2 a.m., since I'm a night owl. Thanks! read more

Cozy cute interior. Smelled like moldy wet rag and the 80s music being played was a bit quiet. Low key vibe.

Came back here last night with my bestie and had a couple of drinks after a long hot day of doing errands together. I ordered from the low ABV menu since I would be driving later and it was perfect- an aperol spritz that was very bubbly and not sweet. Dorian watched the very sweet and cool girl bartender make a blue drink for the girl across the bar from us and he demanded one of his own. It was a blue Pina colada and it was refreshing and sweet. We took pics with the David Bowie light, made friends with the others at the bar, and Dorian promised the bartender he would come see her again for halloween dressed as Boy George. Can't wait to come back again and take pics of Boy and C3po. The coolest interior for any 80's lover for sure. I had a great time and the place absolutely lived up the hype for my friend. Will be back! read more

Wha a cute little bar! I stopped by for a drink with a friend who was visiting from out of town. It's a little out of my usual way, so I had never been before. The bar is very dim and heavily decorated. I appreciate their commitment to the theme - it really feels like a cozy place to hang out! I got a cosmo. It wasn't anything too special, but I like my drinks to be consistent so it was just right for me. Service was a little slow, especially as there were only a few other people there, but I wasn't in a rush and had a good time overall. read more

Came to 8-Track for their Love Island watch party with a couple friends and it was so fun but very busy! If you decide to come to any kind of watch party in the future try to get here early there's two tvs one in front of the bar and then one kinda tucked away in a booth area. This was my first time coming here and it is super cool and fun how it's decorated. It's a sci-fi themed bar with awesome murals, they have bar seating, high tops, booths/couches, and a pool table. It's right on the corner of 21st and P, parking isn't bad just all street parking from what I could tell. The drinks were nice, we got their themed drinks, and they provided free snacks which was really nice! The bartenders were nice and they handed the rush of people well!! I definitely want to come back on a regular night to get a better feel of the vibe. read more

I'm a huge fan of this bar. Some of the most memorable nights out in Sac were here. The atmosphere attracts people with great vibes. Drinks are great and the friendly bartenders are always willing to make you something that isn't on the menu. Pool table , arcade games, and neon lights.. it's honestly lit here read more

Such a fun spot! They absolutely nailed the 80s theme! From the moment you walk in, it feels like you've stepped straight into a retro dream. They even have a disco ball that drops down and lights up, because obviously no true 80s vibe is complete without one! One of my favorite touches was the drink menu, their signature cocktails are displayed in comic book form, and it's so cool and creative! You can tell they really put thought into every detail: orange couches, a giant A-track on the wall, retro artwork everywhere and it all ties together perfectly. The vibe inside was super welcoming too. The bartender was great, the people hanging out were friendly, and you could tell a lot of them were regulars, which always says something about a place. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for something with character. I'm already planning to come back, and next time, you better believe I'm showing up in a full 80s outfit to match the energy! read more

For our date nights my wife and I often frequent venues that we are familiar with and are fond of. Although there is safety in doing so, you can find yourself easily growing bored of visiting the same spots. Therefore, I was ecstatic when we decided to end our night downtown having drinks with friends at a spot that I have had bookmarked for quite a while... 8-Track! If you have read my past reviews, you have probably gathered that I am big on places and things that evoke nostalgia; for that reason I was excited to finally visit the establishment. Entering the bar, we were greeted by a friendly employee who carded us all (being carded at 40 is so flattering). Although it was a fairly busy Saturday night, we were able to find seating against the wall for our party of six. My wife and I were both running low on energy, so we made the wise decision to order Expresso Martini's off of the cool retro looking menu. Although slightly sweeter than most Expresso Martini's that we've had, it was tasty and did the job! We definitely want to make a future visit so that we can try the elevated cocktails such as the "Ya Don't Know Jack 'N Coke" and hopefully secure the pool table (unfortunately it was occupied the entire time we were in the bar). Not sure if this is possible since it is a fairly small venue, but it would be nice to have at least two pool tables...just a suggestion - not a complaint. Thank you 8-Track! read more

Saw on Instagram that this place was playing Halloween movies throughout October. I looked it up and was pleased to find out it was only an 8 minute walk from me. I had driven by the building in the past but the lack of windows always made it difficult to tell what the interior offered. I was shocked at how cool this place was inside. I loved the decor and menu options. We are thrilled to add this to our list of local favorites and can't wait to go back! read more

My siblings and I had such a great time that I didn't get to take many photos while inside. It was an impromptu visit that ended up being so much fun, especially because they have the pool table inside and we played several rounds. They were playing awesome hits and I can't wait to go back. I tried the Ramos's gin fizz, and it was so delightful. The drinks were made quick! Good customer service from the bartender. They have a lot of space for seating and a small little dance floor even! Great use of space! read more

I had a good experience at 8-Track. My friend and I went to the Love Island finale watch party. We had an amazing time! They had us choose our couple and gave us wristbands according to the couple. Whoever won, got 10% off their next stop at 8-Track. Such a great idea and super fun. The drinks were also delicious. read more

I'm obsessed with 8-Track! If you were a regular at the old Press Club, walking into 8-Track will be such a time warp for you! It has gone through such a glow up. From the floors to the bar to the ceiling, this old joint received such a facelift! The moment you walk in, the 80's smacks you right in the face! The neon, the music, the VIBE is so rad! And the drinks? Epic! I've had the Cosmo and Vodka Soda; both were clearly crafted to perfection. The vodka soda will be my go-to as it's washed with coconut and so refreshing. The bartenders are so nice as well! Overall, love what they've done with the place! If you're looking for a funky and unique bar, 8-Track is the spot for you ! Ps. the bathrooms are clean (iykyk lol!). read more

8 track is a great dive bar giving you cool retro 80's vibes, neon signs over the walls, a C-3PO robot as a DJ, and pinball machines. I spotted the KISS and Iron Maiden pinball machines. The only letdown was that no food was available. Great atmosphere and welcoming staff. Don't forget to order a Piña Colada! read more

I've heard of 8-Tract on Social Media and had to check it out. I've brought a big group here for my birthday and this place did not disappoint. Love the environment and drinks. I ordered a Singapore Sling and an Old Fashion, and both tasted amazing. Love that they do classic cocktails and how the drinks are well balanced. The bartenders are also great as well and very attentive. Overall this would be a great spot to hangout/ stop by while bar hopping. This place has history, and we should help preserve this place! read more

Came to 8-track with a couple friends and the ambience immediately stood out it really does feel like stepping into a bar straight out of the 80s. The retro décor, neon lights, and old-school vibe make it a cool place to hang out. They've got a pool table and a couple of pinball machines, which add to the throwback fun. Unfortunately, the customer service was just okay it's nothing terrible, but not great either. What really threw me off was that the bartender seemed to be sick, coughing and sniffling while serving drinks, which wasn't very reassuring. Had a couple Drinks and left. Overall, it's a neat spot if you're into the vintage vibe and want to play a few games, but the service and cleanliness could definitely use some improvement. read more

What can I say 8 track is a nice little bar that's so in touch with the 80s vibe it used to be the old press club. I came here for a private event and was in love. I like that they have so many cool deco. The staff are very sweet made some good drinks my favorite drink was the Pina colada I really don't like pina colada favor but it was delicious. Had to go back for the bigger version. My least favorite drink was a Harvey wall banger, the drink had hints of black licorice. I'm not a black licorice fan but if you like black licorice then you should order that drink, The other two drinks were a little watered down but other than that I really enjoyed 8-track. Ps if you tell the bartender that they did their diligence, you will get a little present. read more

Super delayed but this was my first time going to this bar for a Star Wars theme and I absolutely loved it! Especially that they had multiple screens showing all of the movies. They had great music, great visuals and of course the bartenders were very friendly. I was especially fond of the C-3PO dj set up, very cute!! This was my first impression of this place and I really liked it. I'm curious now to see how it is on a regular day. read more
