Sauced BBQ & Spirits

I've tried the best BBQ that Austin, Nashville, Memphis and Atlanta have to offer…read more I've watched "Chef's Table: BBQ" series on Netflix a number of times. I think that Sauced BBQ is as good as any BBQ I've tried throughout the US. This past weekend I traveled across the bay and ordered the Third Rack of Spare Ribs with a side of Potato Salad and Mac n Cheese. The Spare Ribs - were fall of the bone tender. And the meat was so rich and flavorful. The Mac n Cheese is some of the best I've had. And the Potato Salad while it was super good but had way too much mayonnaise. But I'd probably order both again as sides! Now for the not so good. Sauce was out of Burnt Ends. Ugghhhhh! Every time I visit, I've counted on Burnt Ends being available. I understand they are a scarce commodity, but it was disappointing they were not on the menu. That's how good they are! One comment. I don't know who's decision it was to add a video arcade to the restaurant, but I sincerely felt I was in Vegas at a cheap restaurant on the strip. The place is already pretty loud but to add screaming kids and video games seems a bit odd to me. Just seems completely out of place and doesn't add to the strengths of the restaurant - creating the best environment to serve some of the best BBQ in the Bay Area. Matt says check out Sauced after you finish shopping at Nordstrom or Macy's. You'll love the BBQ. Just make sure you are seated opposite from the video arcade.

It was plenty of seating, we actually got to pick where we wanted since it was not busy. Of course since the Warriors were playing we chose right next to a huge screen. So for the food, I'd say they had a pretty good menu. I love sausage links and was a bit disappointed that they don't serve them. So we both went with the 2 meat combo; ribs and brisket & tri tip, not too bad but I've had better. The portion size was good, it was tasty but not hittin like I was anticipating! Then for sides the Mac was pretty good not hot and the beans were yummy. Ummm the cornbread was a bit dry so I think I'll pass on that next time. They have an area with video games which is great for kids to stay occupied too. Also, the restrooms were clean also which is a plus.

This type of burger is my go-to and I wasn't disappointed. So good and I didn't even request most bbq sauce because it was flavorful enough and not dry (like others make it). My friend got the grilled fish tacos and enjoyed them. Looked delicious and he was satisfied. We were seated quickly at the bar to watch the playoffs and all the servers were checking on us pretty regularly. We were well taken care of. Excellent place to go all around and we will come back when we're back in the area.

The food was okayyyy. I wish we had some chips and salsa to start. I got birria tacos and they just seemed only okay. The server was fine. Refilled our waters. I thought it was weird that their was a bench/booth against the wall but it was super low. No way you can sit there with this tall tables. It looked weird. Nobody was sitting on the booths. Then in the middle of eating, I see the workers moving the tables out and creating a dance floor. I realized it turned into a club like setting, so that is what the booths were for. I felt rushed out though since they were clearly setting up for their club.

The time before last night was back in the day of parklets and they had some event so I put my name on the wait list but was able to order a drink and taco while I waited. I hung out next door at Peet's sitting on an outside chair. Very nice. A little bit away from the crowds and sound. So that brings us up to last night. My partner and I were walking back to our car after being somewhere. As we walked by it was dark inside and the music was pumping. There was door security but no line so we went in. The dude looked in my partners purse and I was able to walk in without a wanding or pat down. Whew!!!! Upon entering and making our way to the bar we noticed the Grandma's throwing it down in a dance circle with their grey hair wigs, old timey clothing, goofy socks and shoes and canes, can't forget the canes. We have seen them around town before and they are hilarious. I have no idea who these ladies are but they seem to be making a name for themselves in the DubC. Very impressed with people who still know how to have a good time. We hung out for a bit on the fringe where the chairs were before headed back to dance central where the Grandma's were tearing it up. Next thing you know this long blonde hair dude is in the middle dancing with the "old ladies", yes me. One of them lent me her cane. Fun times. And yes my partner took me back home and is still talking to me. And 4 stars because Grandma's. HELLA FUN TIME!!!!

My husband and I came here yesterday for a date night and really enjoyed our meal…read more First off, the drinks were good and really quite strong! I got their lavender cocktail (I forget the actual name) and would definitely get it again. The food was - wow - outstanding! Their salmon had a glorious crispy outside and the potatoes were also nice and crispy. The asparagus was nicely seasoned and the soy glaze on top was delightful. Every bite was *chefs kiss*. My husband also loved his rigatoni. The prices? They aren't cheap. This isn't an every week type of place; but I don't think they are completely out of the ballpark taking into account the quality and location. Drinks are $16-$18 and entrees are ~$25-45 range. The service was very good! Our waiter was very polite and attentive, and staff was very good at clearing our plates, filling water etc. The ambiance? I have mixed feelings on. I love the view, and the decor was nice. Buuut the music was a bit too loud. And it was club type music...Luckily we were in a spot that wasn't fully covered so the sound could escape a little more, but still, I wouldn't say it's fantastic for a romantic evening as it's hard to hear what others at your table are saying. I would say choose softer music, let people enjoy the view and not be overwhelmed by noise. I see a lot of reviews about this place being stingy when it comes to seating you if you don't buy food. Obviously, we didn't face this obstacle as we did intend to order dinner. However, the host did ask us if we were going to order food; and I wonder if we would have said 'no', then we would have been turned away? If so, that's a problem. This restaurant has more far more cocktails than entrees on its menu, so it should not come as a surprise if guests want to come in for a few drinks and nothing else. I can understand that owners don't want people hogging a table if they aren't ordering enough, but there's got to be a better way of doing that. The other common experience I see is people being denied alcohol often. I wonder if part of the reason of this is because A) You have to climb 3 flights of stairs to get there and it's a legal concern or B) Their drinks are very strong so they're trying to be extra careful. All in all, we enjoyed our time, and would come again, but would be afraid to if only desiring libations. lol

Nice touch with flowers on the bar.

You are the DJ during the week on the jukebox and so the music is pretty diverse and on wkds they have cute bands that play a variety of covers (10$ door fee after 8pm). Two pool tables and the competition gets real!! But alot of fun! It's one of two bars that stays open til 2am DT so usually starts getting busy around 11pm after you eat dinner and take a stroll thru downtown bc no food is served here. There's a Happy Hour until 6/7 pm with like $4 beers or something. The outside patio is great for a quick smoke and everyone is pretty much friendly- never seen a fight or argument. Thanks to the bartenders: Ashley, Jose and Drew that always laugh and engage with the patrons!! Much love

I served as a shoulder to cry on from other regulars, or just someone to listen to when unloading their daily life struggles. I gave big tips when I could afford them to the bartenders that always would see me and pour a drink for me without asking even on a packed weekend night. I met new friends, said goodbye to old friends, and got to know a handful of bartenders that trusted me enough to open up about their personal lives. During Covid, I did my best to support as much as I could have. When it was closing time, I never lingered. When it was someone's birthday; I always sang. The number of patron's I was able to make laugh was many. The number of younger 20 something's I chatted with and asked questions about their life goals and future plans, while offering some perspective to help out was plentiful. The number of older folks that were lonely, or couples that were bored, I tried my best in engaging conversation and listening and conversations with them were countless. However, when an off cuff comment on a quiet Wednesday night, where there were 8 total patrons in the bar, and myself and a buddy were sitting and waiting for a drink after 15 minutes while the bartender chatted with the other five patrons came to ask if we needed anything, and I jokingly commented that, yes, we've been waiting for only 10 minutes, I was told I am not allowed at Dan's when this lady is working anymore, it was a slap in the face. I can no longer support a place that could care less about allowing a newer bartender with massive insecurities to dictate when I can spend money at their establishment. It was a good run, and I appreciate Mike, Chris, Deion, Jose, Derrick, Andrew, Ashley and Lana, along with all of the great people I met there and took great care of me, but it's time to move on and spend my money, time and energy somewhere that allows an insecure employee to dictate when I can patron their business. Adios.

How can you trust anyone while you're drinking and no one can take control of their customers harassing other females or males .

He stated it was double standard yet if a female gets raped what happens and I only said that because again he stated it was double standard. He was trying to excuse his comment.

I'm genuinely disappointed by the experience and the apparent misrepresentation of a menu staple…read more Charging for what was described as "corned beef hash," yet serving sliced deli corned beef over deep-fried potato chunks, felt misleading at best. I initially attempted to address this privately by reaching out to management, but unfortunately received no response. We visited for breakfast on a quiet Sunday, as the only patrons, and ordered what we expected to be a traditional corned beef hash--especially given the Yelp photos and menu description referencing roasted potatoes. Instead, the dish was overly salty yet somehow lacking in depth of flavor. While our waitress was kind and attentive, she was new and understandably unable to resolve the concern. A more senior cook--though not a chef--insisted that what we were served was indeed their version of the hash. Overall, the experience fell far short of expectations, particularly given how the dish is presented and marketed.
