I'm all for causal clubs, but, if I'm paying $20 to get in I really don't want to party with guys wearing pants halfway down their ass. Just a very basic dress code would be appreciated, even Barwest does so. I'd suggest no excessively baggy clothes, no plain red or blue t's or polos, no grillz, baseballs hats, swimwear, etc. I don't think people should be going to the club looking like they just got out the gym or skate park iykwim

Myself and my entire group was removed/denied entry for my medical bag being "out of policy".This…read moreis not simply just a purse or a bag I bring for convenience, it contains all three of my epilepsy medications, including my emergency seizure medication, which I need to have accessible in case of an emergency. I also have documentation and prescriptions for all of my medications. I asked if I can remove all other items in my bag ( lip gloss, chapstick, black gel pen, and hair ties) and they still said no. I then came back WITHOUT my bag and she said I couldn't come in because I was previously denied for my bag or as they say " Since we seen it in the past the policy still stands" I literally had to laugh out loud but then let my 3 friends in with fanny packs & cross body before me? I was in the back of the line and was next after my friends got checked and that's when I was denied entry the second time despite not having my bag or anything besides my phone and Id. Because of my epilepsy, I'm unable to drive, so when I go out I have to rely on public transportation, Lyft, or Uber. That means carrying my medication with me is a necessity, not something I can simply leave in my car. I completely understand that businesses have security policies and restrictions on bags. However, I was disappointed that there wasn't an accommodation. I've been to other Sacramento establishments, including The Depot, Dive Bar, The Merc, and Low Brau, where staff were able to accommodate me while allowing me to keep my bag with my medication with me. The security seem to have a reoccurring issue with customers based on the reviews on both yelp and google so that being my experience as well seems to add up. What makes this especially disappointing is that I was actually really excited to check Faces out, especially because I was looking forward to creating content there. Unfortunately, being denied entry over the medical bag left a very negative impression and completely changed my experience before I even had the opportunity to visit. I hope management considers having a clear policy for medically necessary medication and makes sure staff know how to handle situations like this appropriately. People with medical conditions shouldn't have to choose between carrying essential medication and being able to enjoy an establishment.

Pedro is our favorite bartender. He's always so warm and welcoming. They have pool tables and a jukebox. Their cash only policy can be a pain especially when it's a surprise pop in while out in a group. They do have an atm machine available but between that fee and your bank fee I find it's better to just borrow money from a friend and Venmo them lol.

The drinks are tasty, and fairly priced (we were surprised when we bought a round for ourselves and some friends). They also offer some delicious bites, and serve food late. During our visit they had some special entertainment happening and the place was packed. We found a spot in the corner, by the pool table and realized it was a good spot, but we were about to make friends with the people playing pool as we'd need to keep shifting so they could take certain shots. I ordered the Los Cubanitos ($15.50) which are cuban sandwich sliders that come with fries and they were delicious. These would be a great option at the beginning, or the end of a night. The staff was friendly and there was a good vibe in the place the whole time. We'll definitely be back again.

I was greeted from a short blonde bouncer. She saw me pull the shooters out when she abruptly told me to empty my pockets for a pat down. I immediately told her I forgot I had those and I can throw them away before going in.... None of this mattered because the second she saw them she flipped out and told me I was banned for the night and she radio'd her entire staff to let them know what I looked like and that I was banned for the night. I was super kind with her - she was nothing but horribly rude without any consideration to me or my friends being there to enjoy the bar.
