Came here a handful of times and each time i've enjoyed it. The ambiance is great and so is the service. The vibe here is awesome and so are the drinks! However, the food is alright, I do wish they had a better selection of food. With thast said, i'd recommend this place if you want drinks/eats with a scenic view. read more

My friends and I went to Darling Aviary, to send off our friend who is going to school to be a nurse. Our expectations were exceeded; our bartender Megan and Andres went above and beyond and curated drinks that not only matched what we needed, but our personality. She ensured that we were comfortable and well cared- going as far as making sure we had water and next to a heater. She was so beautifully welcoming and friendly. We will be back again soon. read more

I have wanted to visit this venue for some time. Arranged a family get together with 7 people. At the time we chose the upstairs patio was the only available option. The weather was fair and the food was good, as was the service. The downfall was the loud DJ music as that inhibited conversation with our party. read more

I've moved out of Sacramento but every time I come back to visit, you bet I'll be here! Their new cocktail menu is outstanding. I mean it's always been, but I would have to say the cocktails are now in a league of their own. So much depth and so well balanced!Brunch is spectacular. Beautiful presentation and even more beautiful to the tastebuds. And the cherry on top is their music and staff-- just so fun, so sweet, and all around great time. Perfect spot for girls night, date night, or just to grab a drink solo. It's a judgment-free space, so I'm always dancing my heart out here! Darling Aviary will always be #1 in my heart. Fyi it's worth the wait yall!!! You won't be disappointed! read more

Barry is amazing I love this club the vibe is dope I like how respectful the crew is

We visited on a Saturday afternoon so my rating is as such. Mike at the front door was very friendly and welcoming! The ambiance was nice and it's definitely a great place to go for mid day cocktails or happy hour. I really like the rooftop bar, it's such a nice addition to downtown Sacramento! We didn't order drinks or anything. We really just wanted to check the place out and I like it. No complaints, just good vibes all around! read more

Sunday, 7/30/2023 - Went to Darling Aviary for dinner with beautiful friends to celebrate one very special friend's birthday. It was all of our 1st time there. Address is 712 K St, Sacramento, CA 95814, Downtown. 1st floor is a bar. It didn't look open. Could have been, but I didn't pay attention. But they do check lD. The hostess was very nice. Second floor has a bar, music, and lots of tables to eat. If you are facing the bar on the 2nd floor, the bathroom would be to your right. I took the elevator to the 2nd floor. Upon arrival: Pros 1) great little restaurant/bar. There is a DJ and great music. 2) good food. Good drinks. Water tasted good. No funky taste. They provided plenty of ice water for us. See food pictures! 3) there's a mist and fans outside. Kept us cool this hot day. 4) we were allow to bring our own cake to celebrate our friend's bday. We didn't have a lighter to light the candles. The nice man in the wheelchair provided us his lighter. So sweet! Our waiter even got us small plates and silverwares so we can cut our cake. 5) we all had a great time eating, dancing, singing, and celebrating here. 6) service was great! No issue. Cons 1) it can get pretty busy. All the tables were full. It can get a little crowded and tight squeezing thru to walk around. 2) it's a little hard to find parking. So if you go when the club starts, good luck in finding parking. I went at 1 pm-ish and it was already hard. Street parking. Conclusion We all loved this spot. Great music, great service, clean, nice staffs, fun restaurant. I'd go here again. Love it! We had no issue. We had a great time dancing away and drinking away. Try this place if you haven't yet. read more

grabbing a pelican burger is a great choice for any visit and you will love the espresso martini if you stop in.

Came here for bachelorette night out and had a great time. The line was long but we didn't stay in it for too too long. The cover charge was $10 per person but I got in for free since I'm a bride. We immediately went to the back to get on the waitlist and they send you a text when you can go up. While we waited, the line for the bathroom was very long. Then we sat at a booth near the bar and looked at all the pretty decorations. You take an elevator to the rooftop and once up there, it was packed. We were able to easily get to the bar though and had a bartender help us right away. I got a hibiscus lemon drop and it was amazing. I could've drank those all night! Once we had our drinks, we sat at the tables and there was a DJ and heat lamps which was so nice. The view was pretty. The music selection was good. The people around us were also nice. Overall, great time! read more

On a girl's night out, we started our evening at Darling Aviary. We happen to be there towards the end of happy hour so we got to enjoy some of their bites and beverages at a discounted rate. My friend and I decided to split an order of fries and roasted brussels sprouts. I loved that they were curly fries since the shape just makes them all the much tastier. For my happy hour beverage, I decided to try their cucumber mint Moscow mule - it was light and refreshing. The service was friendly albeit a little slow since they were busy. The thing I was most surprised about was the automatic 20% gratuity that was added to our tab which is the default for any tab over $100. I consider myself a generous tipper, but I felt that this policy was taking advantage of that. The prices are already a little steep, even with happy hour deals, so it left a bitter taste in my mouth. The rooftop was enjoyable and allowed us to appreciate the cool Sacramento evening. All in all, not sure how quick I would be to rush back here. read more

A Nice Chill Social Mecca SITREP Came here with friends to pregame some drinks: we had 90 minutes to kill before our group headed to DOCO Century to see the Fathom Events-release of CASABLANCA. THE SETUP Darling Aviary (aka "The Aviary") is a wonderful rooftop spot, open air, to grab a drink, look at the Sacramento skyline, and take some tasty sips while conversing with your friends..... or ANOTHER table as well! [Fun place to meet new peeps and grab them for the movie!] But that's getting ahead of myself. The Aviary has a rather swanky speakeasy style bar on the ground level (which was not open yet). We walked through it to catch the elevator at the end of the main bar room to get to the 2nd floor. The main floor has a beautiful aquamarine vibe to it and substantially more space, chairs, bar-counter, etc. then the open-air level above. [Made a note that I need to come back just to enjoy the speakeasy next time.] COCKTAILS & BREWS You would be hard pressed to not find a beverage that would enjoy here. I'm pretty old fashioned so that's where I went with my beverage choice: an Old Fashioned (Ha!). But that was actually my 2ND choice, the one I chose when my friend Kevin was paying for the 2nd round. I paid for the first round and I ordered a wonderful pink foo-foo cocktail that I can't for the life of me remember the name of, but look at my pics and perhaps you can triangulate a name to match the cocktail. THE LOWDOWN A most excellent, open-air watering hole here in Sacramento to enjoy before moving on to your next destination, or perhaps just to come to and nest with your friends. read more

Darrell at the door was very friendly. Usually on K street the people checking IDs are rude but he was very nice. He acknowledged my cousins birthday and told us to let him know if we needed anything! 10/10 read more

Jamie at Darling Aviary is the kind of bartender who makes you accidentally stay for one more drink... three times. Fast, friendly, and somehow able to juggle a packed bar without breaking a sweat or your spirit. Drinks were on point, vibes were immaculate, and Jamie managed to be hilarious without neglecting anyone, which honestly feels like a rare superpower. If you sit at the bar and Jamie's working, congratulations: you've already made the right choice tonight. Darling Aviary is lucky to have herb read more

I went here for my first time on Tuesday for a Sip and Paint Night. What can I say- it was quite darling and had an aviary theme aesthetic - complete with a bird cage that you could dance in! The service at the bar downstairs was lacking a little bit, but I imagine they were just a little overwhelmed with the group size. I asked for a purple themed drink in honor of the Kings, but they said they only had it upstairs for the special event...which was fine bc I was gonna be heading up there anyway. The food dishes we got were good and I was so hungry it hit the spot. I loveeeeed the rooftop patio area. It's a perfect spot to see the sunset and the beam!!! I was a little disappointed that The beam drink wasn't actually purple - they just needed to add maybe a drop of grenadine and that would have done the trick, but it was yummy and a nice blue color and the edible purple glitter was a nice touch. I am not sure if they will be offering the drink all the time or if it was just for the event, but I did try a flocking Mule as well which was delicious. I would definitely come back here! read more

Chris Harvey was great and gave excellent service. And he is a STUD!!!! Best service!!

Such a cute little rooftop bar. Love the vibe. The downstairs is very cool too. Nice bartenders. Really great DJ on a Friday night. And decent cocktails. A little slow on service so minus one star. But overall a cute, fun, vibey spot. read more

I went to Darling Aviary specifically for a day party on a Sunday and it was at the roof top. Located off K street right next to the Golden 1 arena. A perfect spot to grab a drink or hang out, I think they have brunch and def a full bar both upstairs/rooftop and downstairs. The bartenders were so friendly and personable. When I ordered my drinks downstairs, the bartenders were so efficient and even told me their names (forgive me because I can't remember now). There are elevators for the rooftop and it was a pretty lit party. Time went by so quickly and I can say that security was good and they definitely controlled and made sure they counted for capacity and I appreciate that. We also ordered curly fries which were Amazing from drinking. Their espresso martinis were also great. There's some street parking and parking garages nearby. read more

Darling Aviary - Curly fries - Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

The name and ambiance drew me it, the drinks kept me here! Aesthetic (9/10) Such a fun decor! It's a mix of bird paraphernalia (bird cage, bird wallpaper, etc) and rainbows! There is something to look at at all angles! Staff (9/10) Super nice and quick! We did not have too much interaction with the staff as we did not sit at the bar but it was definitely pleasant! Our order: - Cucumber and mint Moscow Mule - Delicious and refreshing! Excellent price during happy hour ($7) - Peach Moscow Mule - Not too sweet and very balanced! - Peacock fries - Seriously delicious curly fries with chili oil and feta. Admittedly I wish there was more chili oil and feta because most of the plate did not have any on it. Check out this cute little spot! read more

Came for a friends bachelorette and it was so cute. There was a $10 cover. The theme is very cute I loved all the birds. Was totally on point because my friend and her fiancé are obsessed with geese so it was fun trying to find a goose within the decor. Had to wait to go up to the rooftop but it was fine because we were able to hangout and wait for a text that is was ready to go up. The staff was friendly. The bartender made my friend a free drink for being the bride. The view from the rooftop was nice. Great stop on our night out! read more

Darling Aviary has a beautiful view on top of its rooftop bar. They're only half a block from Golden 1 Center. It would be nice if the Kings won the game and the laser beam lit up on top of Golden 1 Center. However, "Light the Beam" doesn't happen both times when I'm here! Darling Aviary has yummy snacks, drinks, and entrees; you can enjoy your meals, chat with your friends, and have the drinks you like. The waitpersons and bartenders here are excellent and attentive. They have fast service, and the drinks are delicious! read more
