Snacks at the bar and lots of fun activities ! Great staff and clean space ! Perfect for dates and group gatherings. The velvet room can be rented at $200 an hour. There's so much to do that I'd recommend this to anyone looking to get out and try different activities in one place.

Found this spot while we were in town to kill time in the evening. They had good drinks and a variety of games to play. Great for dates. It can get busy after 9-10pm on a weekend. But staff were quick and super nice. We chose to play pool $20/hr because the area is a little more private and we can play without bumping into people. The couches were cute, however, the chairs were a little dusty. Probably needs some attention there. And you'll need small bills to get quarters for the arcade games

Frogged!

This place is pretty chill with its old school arcade games, draft beer selection, and basement-chic furniture. I was surprised to hear it's been around two years. They have a great selection of video games, pool tables, air hockey, ace throwing, etc. There's cool beer on tap, cocktails, seltzers, and snack food. Beers are $7.50, cocktails between $8.00-$12.00 depending on your poison. Video games are $.25 to $1.00. The bartender was friendly and even let me have a free ace throw because it was my first time there. The old couches are comfortable and there was good music on the stereo.

Arcade games. Stopped in before the farmers market for a drink. Bottomless mimosas sundays.

Came for birthday. Tried the axe throwing. $25 for half an hour. I'm fairly athletic and can shoot a gun well, so I figured I wouldn't be terrible. I was correct. I stuck a bunch into the wood, but couldn't land a bullseye. Bf did better and got multiple bullseyes. $8.50 for beer. $2/game for pool. And everything else is $1. There's a machine for music.

Recently, I visited Sacramento for a conference, and one of my friends mentioned this location as a place to visit after the conference was done. I have gone axe throwing before and decided that this would be a great opportunity to visit and hang out with some friends. First, this place has to be one of the chillest locations ever for an axe-throwing venue. The people, the host, and the workers are all super polite and upbeat. They even take the time to help you get better at throwing your axe. Additionally, they have some great selections of beer on tap, and for those that don't drink, they have fountain drinks. If you aren't into axe throwing, and just want a place to hangout, this is a great location to do so as well. They have older arcard games, some pool tables, foosball, pop a shot, and more. It has something for everyone.

Went here for a date night. It was a great place to experience ax throwing. They don't serve food here so we just hit up the restaurants near by. They do have great beer on tap and they can make you a mixed drink. They have pool arcade games and a great vibe. We went around 5pm on Saturday it wasn't too crowded and it had enjoyable service.

This place is AWESOME! They have axe throwing, billiards, darts, and an arcade plus a bar! The staff are super nice and the owner was even here to help us learn how to throw axes! I'm surprised more people don't know about this place! We were in town for Badlands and Faces originally but this was way more fun and affordable! Will definitely be back!!

Fun place for a girls night out. Started the night here but the music wasn't our vibe so moved on elsewhere downtown. Had fun with all the games. Drinks are good.

Maria was an amazing person and teacher. She can def can throw some axes around and get a view of her skills. Maria got a bullseye while showing a few times... The beer was great and her customer service is great and awesome. I love Maria's vibe and chill.. My name is Bobbie and I approve of this place

After leaving the Crest Theatre, my girl and I walked across the street to The Dive Bar to end the…read morenight. Security checked our IDs at the door, and once we walked in, the bar area was packed. Luckily, there were reserved booths nobody was using and my girl, and I sat there since the main bar was crowded. It actually worked out perfect for us. It gave us space to sit, relax, and have a good conversation without feeling cramped. We ordered a couple of colorful drinks that were nicely balanced and flavorful, not too overpowering, and easy to enjoy. The music was hip-hop which is right up my alley, so the vibe was definitely on point. What really stood out was the atmosphere. I've never been in a bar quite like this where jellyfish were hanging from the ceiling, and a whole underwater theme. I was told a mermaid appears over the bar at certain times, but sadly, I didn't get to see her this visit. Overall, it was a great spot to end the night after the movie. Good drinks, good music, and a unique sea-themed vibe. If I return, I will hope to see a mermaid

The bar tenders have horrible customer service even when the bar isn't busy. It seems like they rather hang out and chat with regulars and friends than serve paying customers. The security guards we're blatantly discriminating against my friend for no good reason. Also, security apparently accepts bribes at the front door to let people in, so much for safety. The drinks were in my opinion overpriced and didn't taste good. Maybe I'm biased because my whole experience here put a complete sour taste in my mouth. Then, to top it all off my friends and I were being harassed by two patrons who had clearly been overserved the entire time we were there. We had no choice but to leave and we will never be back again! After visiting I wanted to leave a review because I felt other people should steer clear. To my surprise, I read reviews here that mentioned almost the exact experience we had. So, this is not an isolated incident and Dive Bar has not taken our comments into consideration. Disclaimer: I did not have this experience, but it was very disheartening to see all the reviews, tik toks, reels, etc. I found after visiting Dive Bar in which women and men are claiming to have been roofied. This may or may not be true, but it can't be a coincidence this many people have had the same experience. There needs to be an investigation into this bar. I myself will be placing a call to the BBB and I hope that anyone who has had that experience feels empowered to speak to the authorities.

This little piece of Hawaiian paradise is so much fun! Now that there are a few tiki bars in town…read moreto choose from, the Jungle Bird still holds its own for some kitschy tiki vibes. Think dive bar meets aloha: it's crowded and dark, nicely furnished and decorated with island style, and serves amazing tropical drinks and food. We went recently for the Aftershock 2026 promotion night. First 100 drinks were on them, and they had a raffle for a pair of tickets! There was a long line when we pulled up, but luckily, my friend was able to snag a reservation right at the start of the promo. (Pro tip: always MAKE RESERVATIONS!) I know it's just a bar, but they are so busy most nights, you will be grateful you got in right away and get to sit down at a table. They also have a patio for more seating. The bar itself is small and is right at the front, so it's crowded right as you walk in. The host stand is to the right. Service was very welcoming and polite albeit slow, just for the fact that it was a very busy night. The mai tai and pina colada were delicious, fruity, and strong. We ordered Spam fried rice (my favorite), chicken potstickers (OK), and the coconut shrimp (good and not too sweet). We shared that between 3 people and it was a good snack while we sipped on our tropical drinks, but we were still hungry when we left. It's a good portion for 1-2 people for a meal, and prices were average.
