Happy 2024! What better way to ring in a new year than to make some reasonable, attainable, measurable resolutions! For example, visiting more local dives to inspect the vibes and overhear the diatribes. And what better way to adhere to this goal than by writing reviews of these experiences myself, and not using DeepAI. Yesiree. Cedar Room was nearby the movie theatre my pookie and I were going to later in the day over the NYE weekend, and neither of us could remember if we had been in here sober before. Verdict was, we are pretty sure we had not. I've driven by so many times and wanted to. I'm so glad it turned out to be so cool. The decor looks like it hasn't changed in decades, and why fix what is not broken? Exactly. Is it open or not? Well, bars rarely close around here. One way to find out, pull on a big wooden door. I really like when these places are dark inside, too. It reminds me of Europe. That's what happens when there are no windows. You really can't thumb your nose up at $4.50 drinks and $4 shots. Not that we did shots, but I did see the sign proudly advertising such activities. We liked our bartender and the regulars did not seem unfriendly at all. Engrossed in their own convos, sure. But I felt like I could probably join if I felt like it. I did not feel like it. There were a couple nice TVs with college football on. I did partake of the bathroom and the report is that she is clean and fresh smelling. Not sure if the popcorn is still around or if it is cash only. We paid in cash. There is a sink kitchenette in the back of the room, which added to the ambiance we enjoy. I also like that there are no windows, did I mention that? I did. Okay. A+ would recommend, will come again for cheap, stiff drinks, vibe check passed and all. Nothing better than a heavy-handed pour at $4.50. This is not a place to drive to if you're having more than a round or two. Alas, there is plenty of parking outside for the DD or rideshare. Cheers. read more

Nice little dive bar. Single lady, new to the area and I felt welcomed and safe. Great staff

Very close to Mercy San Juan Medical Center. I had a gin and Tonic and the price was very reasonable while I waited for my wife to complete her testing. I would have had another drink and watch the sports TV but my wife called and said her testing was done. It where the locals go but hey, it's all good. read more

The bartender Kam, when I ask her to make me a margarita, she simply tells me that she can't make it. I'm a paying customer. This isn't the first time she told me no on making me a margarita. As a bartender, your supposed to make the customer's what that ask for. I think it's obnoxious and wrong for a bartender to tell you no that they are tired of making margaritas for customer's. It's their job to make the customer's happy. She doesn't deserve to be a bartender at ceder room anymore. She should be fired. I've been to other bars and they don't have a problem making me a margarita drink. The place is very dark and lonely inside. read more

Cedar Room - Karaoke night - Sports Bars Near Me - Carmichael, California

Came here for a quick drink on Hubby's birthday- I had driven past so many times I needed to go inside so this seemed like a perfect chance. It's exactly what you would expect, a dive bar, dark-lit, backdoor with the smokers outside, cheap drinks, and a whole bunch of regulars who are used to seeing the newbies checking out the corner bar. If you are tired after shopping at Home Depot and suddenly need a drink, pop by and relax. read more

Last minute decision to come in for a mid-day cocktail per my husband's recommendation and I'm so glad we did! Cedar Room is a local favorite! I was able to chit chat with someone that calls himself a "regular" and this place truly has that family environment!

Best dive bar! Great bartender, good music. Great drinks. I only wish I was close enough to be a regular.

excellent lebanese cuisine!i ate here and everything everything including the service was outstanding. a gem !! and the ambiance was a class act. i must place for dinner 10 stars read more

Small divey neighborhood hangout that's been around forever. I drop by on a regular basis because I have friends who drop by on a regular basis. It's not really in my part of town... but for me it's an easy "drop by on the way from A to B" kind of place due to it's location. I've seen three or four different bartenders during various shifts - all seemed friendly and had a generous pour. That, combined with reasonable prices and a friendly vibe make this a decent place to hang out for a bit and meet someone new. Downsides are they don't have a kitchen, but there are food places nearby (including pizza right next door). As far as things to occupy your time (other than talking, drinking, nibbling on popcorn and watching TV)... dice is probably the biggest/best thing going here. read more

So much fun! Ok - so first time stopping in - and had to go back the next day too see if it was like really that much fun. And it was - Great local spot that one can see is enjoyed by all. read more

The Cedar Room is a small, dark and musty neighborhood dive bar full of older regulars. They serve no food but do offer free stale popcorn. The drinks were cheap and the bartender had a heavy pour. He was nice and even came over to our table to take our drink order when he saw were empty. There is a jukebox playing music and it was a WIDE range of music. I mean it went from Tupac, to Keith Urban to Sade and then Eric Clapton's Cocaine. When the jukebox stopped playing the bartender would come over and put money in it and tell us to pick what we wanted. So no gripes about service. All the other reviews about the regulars trying to pick up chicks is true and the reason we ended up leaving. I came with my husband and my friend. My friend struck up a conversation with a man about Led Zeppelin and when they finished she went to the restroom. The man went back to his group of friends and proceeded to tell them how he was going fu*k her that night. The look of disgust on my face turned to horror as I seen my husbands face and knew we needed to leave immediately because he was fuming and I'd much rather spend money on other things than bailing my hubby out of jail. So in all, the bar isn't bad it's the creepy, douche regulars that kill it. read more

Went for my birthday because it's across the street and LOVED it. Bit of a middle-aged/younger crowd, fun music, multiple TVs, and decent drinks. The staff is helpful, and will let you play board games on the bar! Cheap drinks, heavy pour, simple times! read more

Been driving by for ages and decided to stop in. Glad that I did. What a great little bar. People were nice and that drinks were great. Will be back again read more

This is a tribal environment. If you come with a friend and are inclined to pal with large, loud talkers in baseball caps and over-sized t-shirts and who enjoy talking sports and sexual prowess, this may be an amenable locale. As for me, I made the mistake of coming alone and appearing different than the other patrons. It took several minutes before the barkeep decided to serve me. I drank alone. Then I went home. I won't come back. read more

Great local bar nice and mellow the regulars are cool and the bar staff friendly great jukebox

One of my favorite bars to hangout with a couple friends. Nothing special just good drinks.

I came here because it was a neighborhood dive bar with a suspiciously high rating on Yelp. Being a dive bar junkie, I had to give it a shot. I've been here three times, all on weekends. Honestly, it didn't live up to its 4.5 star hype. Maaaaaybe 4 stars, but I far prefer The Stockman in Old Fair Oaks when it comes to dives in that neck o' the woods. The vibe I got from the crowd is what put me off. A friend of mine had a gun pulled on him when he looked through somebody's (a mobster's?) CD case without asking for permission. My boyfriend also senses the hostility and feels like he's going to get into a fight every time he's here. I don't get super-friendly vibes either, probably because there are a ton of alcoholics that frequent this place and by the time I get there they've already ventured into belligerent territory. I've heard that the crowd tends to be a bit older (more forty-something) before 10. After that it's fine for the 21-35 crowd. Beware if you're female, as there are a few creeps that stick around after 10 in order to seduce helpless, intoxicated young women. I almost retched when I saw a fifty-year-old man grinding with a girl who bordered on jailbait. That ain't right, yo. True, this isn't unusual to see at a dive bar, but seriously, have you no shame?! Even at dives you can find a classier clientele than that of the Cedar Room. The bartender Derek is nice and will make your drinks just the way you like them. He also taught me how to play Liar's Dice, which was entertaining. However, since I am an economical drunk, I wasn't happy enough with the potency of the drinks for the price. $8 for a somewhat weak vodka tonic in a highball glass. Perhaps I should have instructed Derek to pour nothing but alcohol in mine? Some other pluses include an internet jukebox, which has a great selection and requires you to take a music quiz when selecting songs. That was fun. On the other hand, it's pricey enough that I wouldn't pay for it myself. $1 per song, I think? Don't quote me on that -- my memory of that night is a little foggy. A more significant pull is the free popcorn. This would be awesome in theory, but every time I've been they've only had cold, burnt entrails (and I didn't want to risk burning the place down figuring out how to make more), so I haven't had a positive popcorn experience yet. The atmosphere is alright but not inspiring. There's some cool lighting and dollar bills taped on the ceiling. Other than that it's your typical dive, small and trashy. It gets pretty crowded during peak drinking hours. It's nearby so I'd probably go back, but I wasn't wowed by it at all. Important note: they only accept cash, and the ATM there charges you a ridiculous fee, so come prepared. read more

Favorite local dive. Always entertaining. Great service, clean restrooms, fun crowd, & great music.

Sean is THE best!!! Love the dive-y feel. Love the strong drinks Love that it smells like popcorn. Love that it's a neighborhood bar, a place where I know my bartenders name and he knows mine and my order. read more

A little hole in the wall... bartender is cool. Jukebox is always playing & hooked up to AMI so you can play from your phone (which is nice). Drinks are cheap and poured heavy. No food but you probably wouldn't want it anyways. All in all good for a scummy night in the neighborhood. read more

This place is the stuff! Older crowd during the day. Somewhat younger (30s & up during the night. Cheap drinks and a colorful cast of regulars. I love this bar. FYI though the closest interstate exit is Madison and 80. The cops do like to hang out there. Be careful after a night at the cedar. Its where I got my first (and hopefully last) DUI. The Madison/80 exit is a hotspot for the popo. I have not been back since but I still have fond affection for it read more

Love. This. Place. Very friendly place, small & cozy, and free popcorn! LOVE the older customers & bartenders. This is a place where people can escape, and it seems like some of the older folks make this their home away from home. I like that vibe. Good medium-sized selection of booze. I don't recall seeing anything on tap, all beer is in bottles I think. True story: I had never "opened" a bar before and thought this one would be a perfect choice as long as I happened to be in the area at 9:45am. So I'm waiting for the neon sign to click on, and when it does I wait a little longer (don't want to seem TOO anxious, eh?) and I see a car pull up outside. Driver (young guy) gets out, opens the passenger door, and helps his Grampa (I'm guessing) get out and into the bar on his walker, then walks back to the car and drives off. I immediately went in, since THAT'S the guy I wanna hear stories from. read more

Tuesdays rock! Roll the dice, beat the bartender your drink is now $1

I've been to the Cedar Room and no I'm not sharing how, when, or why... So-so-so far away from home I needed a passport, but the Cedar Room may very well entice me back. D.I.V.E. Seriously. It's like Maple Room and Flame Club had a baby. The Cedar is similar in size to the Flame, decorated in a Backdoor/Zelda's hybrid style, and cheap. What is not to love? Friendly too, really friendly, and not in the creepy friendly way but as in the "hey, just want you to know you've got a headlight out, don't get pulled over" way. Decent jukebox. Great bartender. Colorful clientele. Why, oh why, must it be a world away? read more

Pros: $1.50 PBRs, friendly and helpful bartender who actually came to my table to take my order, decent Top 40 jukebox music, good amount of TVs and they open at 6 am on Saturdays and Sundays. Cons: It seems like mostly older locals, but if there were more young people (20 and 30 somethings) this place would have gotten five stars. Overall: Great little neighborhood dive bar in Carmichael at the intersection of Madison and Manzanita. read more

Like most dive/corner/neighborhood bars the regulars are always a bit wary around newcomers..it took the wife and I about a dozen visits until they warmed up, which does not bother us as we are not your friendliest couple in the world anyway. It is nice that there is a chinese (think) and a pizza place on either side, which is nice if you want to grab a bite to eat. Always makes for a great day of people watching. read more

You need a comfortable place for a drink? Cedar room is a great spot. Meeting up with some friends? Cedar room is a great spot. Looking for a fancy place to entertain clients? You might want to reconsider Cedar Room. It's a somewhat small neighborhood tavern that looks like its been around since the early days. No food options, unless you consider a strong pour true nourishment. read more

I get sad when I come here because the best family-run Chinese food used to be located next door. They had so many vegetarian items, I was in heaven and used to eat there at least twice a week. Now where can I go? Carmichael sucks ass. It's an okay dive for being in Carmichael. There are so many alcoholics around here it's not even funny. Most things in Carmichael were built in the 1950s and 60s so it's not hard to find a trashy dive. On the weekends, there's a great mixed crowd, but I only go here when I don't feel like going downtown to grab a drink or when I want to get so drunk I can't drive. read more

Classic Environment and good atmosphere if your in for a change! The prices are reasonable and the selection is great. Thanks guys for a good first time experience read more

The bar is great all the bartenders are nice but I have to say the bartender Scott is hot and makes the best drinks
