I had the best time at the Firefly for the Kentucky Derby. Food was great the Mint Julep was right on. Brian is a great bartender. The people were awesome. I have not had so much fun on a Derby Day for a long time. Thanks. So dog friendly I love it. read more

I love the atmosphere of this bar and the outside patio was a delight I hadn't known about! The food is yummy, drinks are solid, and they allow your furry canine if it's behaved ! Staff is a delight and the regulars are good conversationalist's ! read more

Cover Charge is $10 and I saw 2 clean cut guys have to take their baseball hats back to their vehicles. Ladies best to carry a tiny bag to carry on the fancefloor since there are few tables and you'll probably be Dance the DJ keeps the Best music Rolling thru a few Eras read more

It's been a minute since I've been here. Went on a Saturday nite, was surprised it was not busy. The DJ was great! She kept the great music flowing and everyone happy!! Loved her vibe! Yes, the cover charge is ridiculous, but DJ Remme, made it worth it. She played my Reggae requests and jammed with oldies but goodies. Come check her out! read more

Stop by for karaoke on a Tuesday night and found it very enjoyable with a friendly Bartender and cold beer.

Fun. good time. Karaoke. Drink could be stronger. Vibes are cool -don't disrupt it. Just vibe. Door person thoroughly checks IDs. Stared at it a bit long read more

As it's my first time here, and I don't know how this works. So my wife and myself walk in and sat at the bar. Here comes this man charging and yelling to have us come back to the door to check our ID? And saying that I have to pay cover charge. Well if that's the case, maybe have someone at the door to collect the money and guide us. But instead he was flirting and chatting with a group? Terrible place!! So we walked out read more

Love the chill vibe karaoke they have on Sunday nights! Definitely our favorite way to end the weekend - not only is Brian an amazing KJ for all your karaoke needs, Anthony is hands down one of the best bartenders in the area! Just remember - no pics/vids inside the building, and absolutely no drinks on the dancefloor! Iykyk! read more

Nice folks, good food, strong drinks. Not much more you can ask for. Steak sandwich was great, and pretty good value at 15 bucks. I'll skip the fries next time (big thick ones) and get mozzarella sticks. They also have a taco Tuesday special read more

If you know, you know. This lounge is a great neighborhood dive bar and also a beacon for those who understand that lifestyle doesn't always have to be broadcast. The bar is no-nonsense, mellow, and welcoming. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the bar owner, Connie, and her adorable dog, Jax, both of whom seem exceptionally smart. Connie gives great hugs. Jax is excellent at fetch, and loves to be petted (who doesn't? - consensually of course). Thursday nights are Karaoke night. Fri and Sat there's a cover charge, but it's not crazy. The drinks were strong, not expensive ($9 for a Jack and Coke, not bad at all), and everyone was friendly. The Karaoke singers ranged in talent, but they all had bravery that I did not show that evening. Definitely are coming back. Love this spot, can't wait to try the food. read more

They don't allow hats. Well. They allow hats. But only some hats. And not every night. Actually, you can wear a hat every night of the week there - just not all hats on all nights. You can wear porkpies, trilbies, and stovepipes MWF, berets TThS, Toboggans before Labor Day, fedoras before the 7pm dinner rush, Panamas in autumn, derbies every night even if it has a pin but the pin can't be political - they can't risk someone getting the vapors - and tinfoil actually has its own night. But no baseball hats. Not ever. But mostly on Fridays. Quit jacking yourselves off with your inane moratorium on baseball hats. Here's an idea: if you think somebody is a gang member there to cause a problem, refuse service. My hat didn't do NUFFIN'! All hats matter. That being said, it's an alright spot. Friendly enough people, patrons and staff. Check it out while you do a load of laundry next door. Hats off though. read more

If I can get this place zero stars I would, the owner is Connie disrespectful and nasty and old tired hag. I asked for 2 cups of water at the bartender being as I'm new. I don't know where the water is at. She pointed at the water area, but had a Stank attitude like I'm just a bar back and you're only allowed to have two waters at maximum so I was confused cause I couldn't really hear her over the loud music, but she started saying that my face was irritating her that I was mugging her. I wasn't mugging her. I was trying to figure out what she was saying on top of that, how are you guys a bar and only giving a two drink limit when it comes to water also there's no in and out so when I came back to Grab my homegirl's keys to leave She was adamant on talking to the security with the drink situation and the in and out pointing at the door when I came back in I had to say I'm already leaving made me feel very uncomfortable. I don't know if it was because of my skin color however sitting in a area with all white people and they're all staring at me as I'm leaving and she's whispering to the same customers it's very weird. I wouldn't go back again. Save your money. It's whack anyway. Mind you the other lady at bar was very nice and looked at me and said the lady was the owner etc. read more

This is why I love Yelp! Who would've known about this place if it wasn't for it? I was in the area and I was hungry! I passed by this place and saw all the cars. I was a bit skeptical since they are next door to a laundromat and although they were busy, I thought all those cars couldn't belong to the number of people in the laundromat? So I checked Yelp for the reviews, the reviews were positive and legit. I was pleased to read that they had food. As I entered, I saw that they had a good number of customers at the bar and I found myself a seat. I ordered an 805 and asked for the food menu. I overheard customers raving about how good their liver and onions were here. Either you love it or hate it. I grew up with it and have never acquired a taste for it so I ordered a cheeseburger. Now the cheeseburger was on their $6 Monday lunch special. I figured, it's got to be small considering it's only $6 and included fries, but I was wrong. When it came out, I was quite surprised. It was a hefty burger with a generous amount of crispy skinny fries. The plate was HUGE! They even added a slice of ripe watermelon and cantaloupe. The burger was juicy and cooked to perfection. Overall I'm happy Yelp lead me here and didn't steer me wrong. If you're a fan of liver n onions, I suggest you try them out. The guys next to me ordered it and loved it! The bartender was very friendly and I think it was her mom who is the cook? She mentioned they have pot roast on other weeknights as they have a rotating food special. This is a dive bar and the interior is a bit dated but that's the reason why I'd come here again! read more

Nice bar. Only negative is the Dj has to play more of a variety of music, just not R &B. We only stayed for 45 minutes because of the lack of NO variety . read more

Great Dj, Dj Andrew was really amazing and bartender was nice. Security guard is a bit moody but only deal with him once

good place to listen to good music and dance. my wife and i always have a good time, when we go there.

Drinks were very reasonable, DJ was good. The place gets very crowded on Friday nights, but it's overall a nice place to stop and have a drink. read more

I just ordered a beer and wine, so can't speak to the food or mixed drinks. The bartender was friendly enough. The music was very loud, but they have a nice outdoor area that was quite and had some pretty flowers. read more

Firefly Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Sacramento, California

Recently, a friend and I stopped in for lunch. We had the rib eye steak sandwiches. Absolutely wonderful. Apparently, they cut their own steaks. The owner served us and she was delightful. I hear they also have music on the weekends. read more

A classy local dive with AMAZING FOOD, killer bartenders, and epic karaoke on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

Screw this place! Don't open a tab. I got accused of having more than I really drank and charged extra. Don't even try and tell me I had more than I had when I'm not even drunk to fall for you shitty attempt to get an extra tip! Not cool. read more

A friend wanted to meet me somewhere so we pick this place out of the blue and what a bummer we did. The doorman was about as friendly as an overworked cab driver with hemorrhoids in New York. We paid a cover charge to get into that foul smelling pit and they wouldn't refund it even though we left before even ordering a drink. To top it off there was literally dogshit in the parking lot and I stepped in it before getting into my car. I'll never be able to pass that placed without thinking about that foul smelling dog crap in my car which, oddly enough, resembled what it smelled like inside that place. All ye who enter here beware. read more

Straight outta a Billy Joel Song - in a good way. Lotsa regulars and they are good folks. Never tried the food but the service and atmosphere are spot on. Happy hours are great and the drinks inexpensive. Connie has her act together here. Just the right mix. read more

Great to see the new owners have changed the format a bit. Brian doing karaoke and some of the old crowd coming back in. Meghan is great behind the bar at night. Glad to come back!! read more

Surprise, Firefly has great food! Hadn't visited since early 2017. New owner. Seems like a different atmosphere, etc. Now has lunch and breakfast (also liver and onions on Mondays for those of us who are fans). My wife and I are really pleased to have a place this to go whenever we are in the North Area. We live downtown, but The Firefly is worth the drive. Lunch until 3 pm, M-F (?). read more

The duo's new singer on Wednesdays has a wide range & they sound awesome together! All of the "bartendettes" (all ladies) are welcoming & fun to spend time with. Bonus......there's a grill mid-mornjng till mid-afternoon. A neighborhood gem for sure! read more
