Poorly trained staff who don't have basic bartending skills. Gross and dirty atmosphere. Don't even think about going into the bathrooms. The bar smells like it hasn't been properly cleaned in years.

Super neat & fun place nestled in midtown sac! This would be an ideal place to bring a group of…read morefriends & date nights for sure! Plentiful of seating area that can easily accommodate big groups and parties. Mini putt and table putt which was unique to see, arcade games, Photo Booth, and bar + delicious food. Last call for food was 12 and they were kind enough to squeeze our order in right before. Got the tacos and nachos. Everything was delicious and great portions minus the carnitas was just a tad dry but overall was yummy and go perfectly with a glass of beer. They have a large variety to choose from. Wish it was a full bar though so no liquor but bartender did say they can make some classic drink like margarita and Mexican candy shooters? For a Friday night although it was closer to midnight when we arrive I was hoping it would be more lively but I still had a decent time.

My girl and I decided to stop by Tipsy Putt before heading to the movies. It's been on our to-do…read morelist for a while, and since I had a couple of gift cards, it seemed like the perfect time to finally check it out. The location is super convenient since it's within walking distance of the movie theater. We decided to skip the games this visit. Nothing really caught our attention, but maybe next time we'll give them a try. Instead, we grabbed a couple of seats at the bar and started with some shots. I ordered the Mexican Candy shot, and my girl got a Green Tea shot. My Mexican Candy shot was really good, it had a great balance of alcohol and flavor. It had just the right amount of sweetness and sourness without being overpowering. For food, I ordered the Beef Barbacoa Quesadilla, which came with pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. My girl ordered the pork sliders along with a margarita, while I switched to a lemonade after my shot. The barbacoa quesadilla was excellent. The meat and cheese ratio was perfect, and everything tasted fresh. The pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream all complemented the quesadilla really well. I honestly had no complaints about my meal. The only hiccup during our visit was with my girl's pork sliders. The pork arrived cold, so we let the bartender know. At first, she thought the meat might have felt cold because of the coleslaw on the sliders, but after a brief conversation, she happily took them back and had a fresh order made. The replacement sliders came out with warm pork, and they were much better. Even the first batch tasted good, the only issue was that the meat wasn't warm enough. We appreciated that they made it right without any problems. One thing I thought was really interesting was their drink system. Every cocktail on the menu is served from a numbered tap. I've never seen that before, but I'm guessing it helps with portion control, reduces waste, and ensures every drink is made consistently. I thought it was a unique concept and a nice touch. One thing I also appreciated was the service. When it was time to pay for our meal, the bartender asked if I wanted a refill on my lemonade. I told her we were about to head to the movie theater, so I didn't need one. Then he offered to put my lemonade in a to-go cup so I could take it with me. I thought that was a really thoughtful gesture and a nice example of great customer service. Overall, we had a good experience. The food and drinks were both enjoyable, and the staff corrected the only issue we had with the sliders. I wouldn't hesitate to come back, and next time we'll probably give the games a chance. If you're looking for a place to grab some good food and drinks before a movie, Tipsy Putt is definitely worth checking out.

If I'm being completely…read morehonest, the spinach & artichoke dip is the only food we consistently come back for--but the real reason we keep coming back is the staff. Every Thursday after I get off work on K Street, everyone makes us feel genuinely welcome. Elijah, Georgio, Ryan, and Asra are all amazing. They remember our usual orders, take the time to have real conversations with us, and always make us feel like valued regulars instead of just another table. I also want to give a special shoutout to the gentleman working security on Thursday nights. Every single time I come in, he greets me with a smile and says "welcome back." He always checks our bags, and as someone who works downtown and sees firsthand some of the things happening around Sacramento, I genuinely appreciate that they take safety seriously. It makes me feel comfortable coming in after work. Thank you to everyone for making Coin-Op feel like more than just a bar. The staff truly make the experience. Plus the games are always a plus. We love playing Mario cart, skee ball, and air hockey

Perfect for geeks, nerds, dorks, memers, hot girls with secrets, gnomes, wimpy kids with diaries, drunk aunts and queen bees. No matter who or what you are, you'll probably find a way to have a great time at Coin-Op. I literally tell everyone to come here. Because everyone should go here. Except not all at once on the nights I wanna go because I don't want it to be too crowded :)

So every once in a while,the wife and I like to go out and enjoy a cocktail or 2-living in…read moreNatomas,downtown is a short Uber ride both ways-so driving is not in play so we both can enjoy ourselves.When we do decide we are going to go downtown we usually either end our night of debauchery or begin it at this bar-B-Side on 14th and S street. This bar is truly a definition of a dive bar-dark lighting inside,they tend to play throwback music 100% of the time which is awesome-the bartenders here are always super friendly and always seem young-not always the most experienced bartenders you will run into but they always do their job with lots of enthusiasm and friendly demeanors-I think that's important. The drinks themselves are pretty inexpensive per todays Sacramento downtown standards,I think my old fashioned ran for either $10 or $11 which is pretty good and they are always solid-they make very solid get the job done keep the vibe going level drinks and at that price-that's a winning combination. My favorite part of this bar though for me is easy-it's the outside back patio.It features a few long tables and it's mostly frequented by someone either looking to smoke a cigarette or vape,I personally will go back there and light up a cigar and just enjoy the craziness that occurs back there.By craziness I just mean a lot of people socializing-laughing telling stories and getting along,u literally can strike up conversations with people you never met before just based on the fact that you know anybody who finds themselves in the back outside patio at B-Side knows what's up-nobody lands there on accident-it's a super chill spot with a never ending cast of unknowns who might sit next to you and just be prepared as your probably going to have the most random conversation you have ever had in your life. B-Side isn't a fancy bar or a place to go before a nice dinner-this place isn't for everyone,especially at my age,but if u are ever lucky enough to walk thru those doors be prepared to be transported to a time when all you ever wanted was a place you could kick back-have a cheap drink,maybe enjoy a smoke and just chat with people who don't have their noses buried in their ohones-a true throwback.

I've been here several times and at first really liked coming here but with changes they've had…read moreit's become a less than favorable one. When I first started coming, they had a huge spacious outdoor space where you could sit and hang out at, smoke, drink, and play games at. But they had to close this area and it's now a parking lot, leaving a super small awkward and dark "outdoor space" that barely fits a group of people. The inside is dark and a little cramped but theres booth seating and bar space. I honestly like the look and feel of the inside. The drinks are decent and they have DJs on certain nights. My friends and I had a less than great experience once on a bar crawl when we weren't given great service and overcharged. Hopefully in the future things improve.

Yes, I go to a lot of dueling piano shows. The Silver Lining has been on my list for a while, so I'm glad I finally got to experience it. Reserved seating in advance, at the bar which costs a little less than the main area, but is just as fun and engaging if you come for the live music. It's a small spot, so the sound fills the room no matter where you sit. The dueling piano show ends between 10:30-11:00pm. I enjoyed it while it lasted. The song request list included Pink Pony Club, Bennie And The Jets, Pour Some Sugar On Me, Sweet Caroline, Gangster's Paradise, I Love Rock n Roll, It's All Coming Back To Me Now, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, My Girl, Piano Man, Come and Get Your Love, Bohemian Rhapsody, Elton John's Your Song, Taylor Swift's Anti-Hero, and a mash up of Brown Eyed Girl and Summer of 69. (I swear I didn't name the entire song list for the night, lol) The musicians were playful but didn't butcher songs to the point of being distasteful... yes some dueling pianists do this at other venues. And their music added to an already inviting setting featuring dim lighting and cool wall art. The drinks of course added to my experience as well. For cocktails, I had the Hell of a Caucasian, Jackie (which was pretty much a chocolate martini) and the 1982 Mojito. The drinks were made well, both in terms of flavor and alcohol content. The bartenders were friendly and attentive and provided excellent service. It's a coincidence I wore a dress, cuz most ladies were wearing dresses on this night. It's a casual spot, I guess it's just the warm weather. A great spot for a fun night out regardless. Thank you, Silver Lining, for a good time.

They seem to know every single song requested somehow! It was my first time going to a dueling piano place and how it works is you request songs by sending money via Venmo (or good ole fashioned cash) and you can request any song. The more you pay the higher priority it gets. You can also pay to cut off the song. Would definitely come again for a fun night out!

I really wanted to like this place, and for a while, I did--mainly because the food coming out of…read morethe kitchen was genuinely good. That was the one standout. Unfortunately, once that element was gone, there wasn't much left to justify coming back. The space itself feels oddly empty most of the time, which creates a pretty awkward atmosphere rather than an inviting one. It's the kind of place where you walk in and immediately feel like you shouldn't be there. The aesthetic also feels mismatched and underwhelming--like it's trying to be something it's not, but never quite gets there. There are so many other places that JUST DO IT BETTER. At this point, there are just better options around that offer both quality food and a more welcoming environment. I'd recommend saving your time and going somewhere that delivers a more complete experience.

I don't think I've ever not been able to get a table or booth for longer than like 15-20 minutes. The music is at the right level if you still want to have a conversation. The bar is always clean and the bathrooms are lovely. It's not the type of bar where you have to go looking for a drink. From Lavender Martinis to hot toddy's they're putting out fantastic drinks. The Jamison and the Giant Peach is my personal favourite. The bartender wouldn't give me the exact recipe no matter what but he made one in front of me, after I proved I didn't live in the same state and had a completely different career. I was able to approximate it at home and it's still my go to cocktail. The ingredients are high level and the service is impeccable. 11/10 this place makes a delicious cocktail

This bar is carried almost entirely by the live music, which is providential, because the rest of…read morethe experience is a slow march into annoyance. Charlie, the bartender, has all the warmth of a parking ticket. He seems deeply offended by the existence of customers. He is surly, rude, unfriendly, and has the general expression of a man being forced to work off a curse. Ordering from him feels less like getting a drink and more like asking a prison guard for a favor. The drinks are overpriced, which might be forgivable if they were at least consistent. They are not. By the third round, the alcohol seems to have gone on vacation. The smell alone tells you something is off, like the liquor was shown a glass of water and told to do its best. So yes, the music is good, the place is okay, but the drinks are suspect and Charlie acts like hospitality is a personal attack.
