The shelves on the wall were filled with vinyl records and it gave it such a cool touch.

We got a bottle of wine and shared it among the four of us, and it was the perfect spot to relax and hang out. Definitely a great place to catch up with friends or enjoy a drink or two with a date!

Thankfully our hose made it to the other side. This is a very tight gas station off of a busy street. It works best if you're lucky it's empty and you can just pull in. If it's busy it's tight to get in with cars facing both directions depending on where they drove in. The price of gas here is usually less than the local gas stations. I recommend this place for their cheap gas.

Their bench seating makes me think of a biergaarten. I also really like that there's a hand wash station outside of the ones in the bathrooms as well. It is also very dog-friendly and our friends often bring their dogs with them when we sit outside. As this is a brewing company, let's start with their beer. I am always excited to come here as the Touchstone team are always trying out new and exciting combinations for their beer! Of course, this doesn't always mean good, but as a craft beer drinker the fun is trying something new-new--good or bad! I've also noticed that Touchstone is often doing a number of beer collaborations with other breweries which raises my excitement when thinking about going. Good beer needs good food, right? Well, so far everything we have tried at Touchstone has been pretty good. They have great intuition when it comes to flavor pairings and another thing I look forward to going here for! Highlights for me have been their Pepperoni focaccia pizza as well as their braised pork belly sandwich. Lastly, their staff is top-notch and incredibly hospitable. From recommending beer & food to providing samples of the beers before you make your decision. They seem to always be ready to offer rather than make you ask. We come here for their trivia nights which is always a lot of fun, but also competitive!

Wish I could speak to the food, but I didn't order anything (little late in the day for me to eat). But the menu looks hella interesting. I WILL speak about the service and beer selection. This place has a CRAZY good selection of brews considering its size. One of the best in the area actually. The bartender (Ming) is exactly what this kinda space needs: super personable, knowledgeable, supportive of the brand, and with a seriously interesting backstory. Dude plays for The Aquabats! Not afraid to talk to ppl, and understands the right balance between sharing his story and asking about yours. Unpretentious, comfortable in his skin, and clearly a good dude at heart. That's the kinda person you wanna support. Catch him on the weekends! I'll be back for more. I'm thinking there's a reason this place has a monster Yelp score...

Has some seating inside and huge patio dining outdoors too. You order inside get your beer or drink and head on out to a bench seating tables . Weather was great to sit outside . We got an order of meatballs to split , and I had the Fig truffle sandwich. It was very tasty and light refreshing . Had a great stout beer to go along with and wife had a pilsner beer that she enjoyed . Fam had gotten some tater tots and something else I can't remember but all in all cool spot to hang out and grab a bite to eat. Service was great too bringing the food out . They have water station as well to get waters which was nice . Would come back again to try more stuff . Enjoy !!!!

But everything was great, as they provide what you need for a delicious meal. Ambiance- dark and cozy. They have an actual bar which is away from the grill for those choosing to imbibe and go. We got introduced to The Butterscotch Den by a couple of lawyers who evidently know the 'hood. Been a while since I've lived/worked in town so they are a great resource to fun places like this. Drinks are delicious. I ordered a couple different sauces to go with our large steak which we split. Even having split the steak, we brought some home. You cook your own so be okay with possibly not sitting the entire time. On the side of the grill are various accoutrements for your steak. Assorted flavored salts as well as regular salt and pepper were included with the experience. You could also order compound butter for a small fee but we didn't. Might want to try a much more budget friendly hot dog or even a sausage next time. Try it out for happy hour! Very friendly drink list.

This spot has been saved on my list for a while as one of Sacramento's speakeasies I wanted to try…read more Since it was close to my daughter's house, I decided to have a little date night here with my daughter and her boyfriend. I made a reservation for 4 PM, right when they opened, so we were some of the first guests there. The place itself was really nice, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. They're open from 4 PM to 1 AM and have TWO happy hours--4-6 PM and again from 10 PM until close, with the same happy hour menu. Twice the fun! The food menu is short and sweet, and the concept is definitely different. There's a community grill in the middle of the room where you cook your own proteins. The menu even gives you instructions on how to cook each protein, which I thought was a nice touch. Since we arrived early, we were lucky enough to have the grill all to ourselves. It definitely started getting busier closer to the time we were leaving. I ordered the Den Burger and shrimp cocktail. The burger came with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. It was decent, although the bun seemed a little stale. My daughter also ordered the Den Burger with a loaded baked potato, while her boyfriend had the 8 oz. steak, dinner rolls, and fries. They have a pretty nice selection of cocktails, although the drink menu personally didn't appeal to me much. My daughter and her boyfriend each ordered a few of the tequila, lime, pomegranate, and bitters cocktails, while I kept it simple with a Tito's soda with bitters. In my opinion, the drinks were a little overpriced for what they were. Overall, I'm glad I checked this place off my list. It was definitely an experience, and I enjoyed the ambiance, friendly service, and unique cook-your-own-food concept. I wouldn't necessarily return specifically for the food, but I could see myself coming back for the atmosphere, drinks, and experience--especially when looking for an interesting spot in Oak Park.

I love the Ambiance because it is history here and I do love the locations where it is in the alleyway in Old Sacramento which is really amazing. . I usually get the menu items that they recommend like a French 75 to a margarita and pina colada and Mai Tai and more. They have really great quality drinks and the price is really reasonable like for example my French 75 was only $10. . They also serve food until 2:00 a.m. in the morning where usually places stop serving around 1:30 a.m. . I really like coming here to eat and have really great drinks and visit with friends too. Some of the food that we order is their burgers which is really legit and it comes with french fries. I also got some of their loaded fries which was really yummy.

You'll see people biking here (there's a bike parking area), bringing their dogs (the brewery provides dog treats and water bowls), and enjoying live music. There are several seating areas to choose from: * Outdoor covered seating near the food truck * Indoor seating with air conditioning * Outdoor covered seating by the live music * Additional outdoor seating close to the stage Restrooms: Two clean, well-maintained stalls with air conditioning. One of my favorite things is that you're welcome to bring your own picnic! They also offer a 15% discount for military members and first responders. Other nice touches include a phone charging station and plenty of outdoor games like cornhole, giant Connect Four, ping-pong, and bocce ball. I especially loved the cozy fire pits. For drinks, they have 24 taps plus wine, kombucha, cider, and hop water, so there's something for everyone. I really enjoyed the atmosphere: it's a great place where people gather to listen to live music, sip a beer, grab something from the food truck, or simply enjoy a picnic with friends and family. If you're looking for a fun, welcoming beer garden, I highly recommend this place!

I've stopped by this place a couple times for some late afternoon drinks, and it's a nice spot…read more It's located in the same building as Ginger Elizabeth, so parking isn't great, but you can find parking within a block or so of walking. There's metered parking in the street just in front. They have a nice selection of wines and cocktails. Not the most expansive list, but a nicely curated one. Most recently, I tried the Pimms Rangoon (Gin, Ro Pimm's, fresh lemon, ginger, pineapple, fizzy water) and a wine that I can't recall. The cheeze whiz (house made whipped manchego and parm on crostini) is a must-have. The bread is wonderful as well as the cheese and olive. I'm usually not crazy about green olives, but it worked so well with the cheese. I've had tinned sardines in the past, and they were fine... along the lines of a tin of Fishwife. Next time, I'll probably try another bread & cheese dish. I like the kitschy vibe. And, our servers were nice both times I've gone. If I lived a little closer, I'd probably drop by more often, but I'll keep this place in mind when I want a drink and a small snack to go with it (and dessert at Ginger Elizabeth is next door!).

Came here for our monthly meet up with the girls and not gonna lie this was a disappointment. I have wanted to try this place for so long and it was mid at best. They didn't have a kitchen when I went so their food offerings were extremely limited which I didn't know before coming. The ambiance was great. While the space was small it packed a great punch. I will say our server disappeared and she was very short when she was unavailable. I came, I saw, it's unlikely I'll return given the many options in Sacramento and the surrounding areas. Go for the experience if you choose On the plus side we ended up at the dive bar Golden Bear after for pizza nachos and beer and I have found my new favorite dive bar so I'll call that a win!
