We had a 7:15 reservation and were seated immediately. The hostess was friendly and attentive, and had water at our table right after we sat down. The food and cocktails were absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend the Chantilly Lace and the prawn and pork belly. The true highlight of our meal, though, was our server, Shea. Even with the restaurant being incredibly busy, he was personable and attentive, checking in regularly to make sure we were enjoying our food and that our drinks stayed full. His menu knowledge was impressive, and every suggestion he made was spot-on. He really made the entire experience that much better. Fantastic food, great cocktails, and exceptional service. We will definitely be back!

It was our first time hearing The River and The Willow, and they were phenomenal. We're officially fans and already excited to follow them around town!

The interior is dimly lit, calm, and still very inviting--something you really have to experience in person. The drinks and mocktails are so well crafted that it's almost shocking--you take a sip, then look back at the menu like, "Wait... that's all it cost?" and then back at the bartender like, "Hold on... you made this perfectly for me?" We sat at the bar top and, like everyone else, got caught up in our phones trying to post everything in real time. But Amanda, who was making our drinks, could spark a conversation out of thin air. She was a total pro at keeping us engaged and enjoying our time, all while making drinks and taking care of everyone else around us.

The standout of…read morethe night was definitely Amanda the mixologist--she was absolutely great, incredibly fun to talk to, and an overall delight to be around while making our drinks. The atmosphere itself is on the smaller side, but it fits the cozy, hidden speakeasy vibe perfectly. ​That being said, the pricing is a bit tough to swallow. I ordered a drink for $22 that tasted good, but overall, the drinks here are just way too expensive for what you get. They also had live music playing during our visit; it was good lounge background music that added a nice vibe to the room, but it wasn't anything spectacular or something to get overly excited about. ​It's a cool spot to check out for the ambiance, but the high drink prices keep it at a flat three stars for me.

As others mentioned, service is kind of slow, but both nights we were there had live music and it was pretty busy, so slower service is understandable.

Overall, we had a good time here and would stop in again when in town.

House Divided is an absolute gem and a breath of fresh air for anyone looking for a bar with…read moregenuine character, culture, and atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the space feels intimate, sultry, and effortlessly romantic, with a beautifully executed 1920s speakeasy vibe that makes you feel like you've stumbled upon one of Roseville's best-kept secrets. They require a password to get in of which you can get by following them on Instagram. What really sets House Divided apart, though, is the passion behind it. The couple who owns the place has clearly gone to great lengths to create an exceptional cocktail experience. You can tell they genuinely love their craft, and that attention to detail comes through in both the atmosphere and the drinks. The cocktail menu is thoughtfully curated across a wide range of spirits, with enough creativity and variety to appeal to just about every palate. My wife and I especially enjoy coming here as the seasons change to see what new creations they've introduced, while still being able to fall back on favorites from their regular menu. Their Old Fashioneds are exceptional, and as someone who gravitates toward tequila and mezcal, I'm always impressed by what they do with those spirits. The Cozy Old Fashioned is a personal favorite, but I've yet to have a cocktail here that felt like an afterthought. Everything feels intentional, well-crafted, and true to the personality of the place. If you appreciate intimate cocktail bars, speakeasy culture, and bartenders who truly care about their craft, House Divided is absolutely worth discovering. It has become one of our favorite spots for a romantic drink and a place we genuinely look forward to returning to each season.

The room is small but surprisingly fit two large groups and a few couples. There's a bar plus a few tables and couches. The bartenders are very focused and work hard at their craft. Each cocktail is carefully made to perfection. The list of drinks ranges from light fruity to spirit-forward depending on your taste. We enjoyed: - pomegranate martini: light and fruity, good pomegranate flavor - yuzu lime drop: seasonal for summer only! - the First Lady: strong but smooth; came with a nicely cut ice cube - whiskey sour: classic flavor, executed well The drinks were great but I really wish there was some sort of snack to munch on.

Fantastic Spot To "Pregame" Shows @ Goldfields Next Door…read more SITREP We descended upon the Tack Room an hour before our show for "Ally The Piper" (both the classical AND heavy metal bagpiper extraordinaire) began her show! THE SETUP Goldfields is a charming, rustic country-western stylized saloon that serves up beer at good prices. But we weren't interested in beer and wanted quality cocktails. Hence, our pivot next door to the Tack Room! QUALITY COCKTAILS & DRINKS! The Tack Room specializes an amazing array of martinis, bourbons, and other deLISH cocktail drinks at really really reasonable prices! So this was an excellent choice to chill, thus avoiding the tremendous *noise pollution* we were immediately subjected to upon entering Goldfields an hour later for our show. THE LOWDOWN This is a quality bar with plenty of comfortable seating to relax and have quiet, intimate conversations. So if you and your later friend(s) want some privacy, cocktails at a reasonable price, etc., this is a good way to go.

It's themed around horse racing, but not in an overbearing or... tacky way. The mixologist was delightful and had great recommendations, the lights were dim, and the drinks were all on point. The highlight was the espresso martini, which is among the best I've had. It was reminiscent of the one I had at the Starbucks Roastery in NYC, which is high praise. The other coffee drink that surprised me was the Revolver. I always forget about what a good pairing orange and coffee is, and I'll be taking this one back home with me to try! Every other drink we tried was delicious in some unique way. The Pho drink was savory and surprising, the New York Sour was rich and flavorful, and the Practical Move was refreshing. Will definitely return here after dinner to sip an espresso martini for dessert!

July 30, 2026 the spouse and I went to an estate sale in Pollock Pines today and came down into…read morePlacerville for lunch before heading home. We were headed to a place I was familiar with and while going down Main Street saw Burning Barrel. I quickly hoped on their website and rattled off a few items and we pulled into the closest parking lot and made our way over. The restaurant was empty of guests and the young man at the counter was welcoming, asking if this was our first visit, and showed us the food and drink menu and the board of current craft beers. I chose the Longhorn (tri tip) sandwich and fries and a Lillikoi Mai Tai, and the spouse chose the Pastrami Sandwich and a beer called Dank. They do not do table service so after ordering we grabbed a seat. This is a pretty large open space with an outdoor patio, several roll up doors and misters at the outside. Shortly after sitting down a server came over with our meals. I started with a french fry, and I have to say these are the best french fries I have ever had, in my life time. I don't know if its the way they cut the fries, the way they are seasoned, what they are fried in or all of the above, but they were delicious! Our sandwiches were outstanding! Both were incredibly flavorful and filling, and even after I was full I continued eating because everything tasted SO GOOD. The drinks were excellent too, so good that we ordered a second round. The young man at the counter also made my mai tai and did an excellent job. About halfway into our meal other guests started to arrive and by the time we left there were at least 4-5 parties of guests in the restaurant. I will absolutely return, and highly recommend Burning Barrel. I was also pleased to see that they have a Rancho Cordova location, which is a little closer to my home in the Valley. Thank you Burning Barrel for the excellent food, drinks and customer service! You made our great day even better!

As for food: the fries are cooked perfectly, and the pretzel, is a good pretzel. The cheese sauce is trash. It is so bland and even grainy, there was no point consuming it. The mustard was much better. Now the important part for safety: All the napkins and utensils are inside. They bring the food to your table but you are expected to get those other things. I was here alone and did not plan ahead. I did not feel safe leaving my drink and food alone outside, so I could go inside to get a napkin. So I will probably try this place again but there are some issues.

We did not get to spend as much time here as we would have liked so I'll just say that our cocktails were delicious, the bartender was super friendly and cool to chat with, and it's essentially a speakeasy connected to the bbq restaurant next door. How fun is that? We came in shortly after the bar opened, after our bike ride along the lake. We were hungry but the kitchen wasn't open yet, and we had to get back to Truckee for plans we already made. If we had no other places to be, we would have lingered around longer and possibly had another drink, but definitely tried the bbq next door as the bartender said it's good and we could smell the wood and meat cooking. Wish I could come back again soon, but it'll be a while so why don't you go ahead and check it out if you're reading this review. Hopefully you enjoy it too :)
