    One of the few places open on Christmas Eve ... AND Bingo to boot! Very cool staff and bartender working hard to ensure all of us were well served and had a great time.

    Over cooked
    Micki M.

    We were out on a bar crawl looking for a karaoke bar. We were in Old Roseville at a bar there but there was an MMA fight going on and it was noisy. So we did a quick search on Yelp and Jan's Lounge popped up. Now our friends had come here before and wanted us to check it out since we had never been. Plus, they serve food and that was a plus. The place is ok, it has a large bar and lots of tables and a decent stage area. We ordered our drinks and ordered food as well. The food did take some time and when our first order of chicken strips and fries came out, we were quite shocked. It was burnt and dry. Then my friends pepperoni pizza came out and that was over cooked! I ordered wings too and guess what? That was dry and over cooked as well. We all agreed the cook needs to change the oil because it tasted like it. Although we were bummed about the food, we were having a great time singing and playing shuffleboard. Everyone was having a great time until one guy got into it with a customer, then the bartender, he gets kicked out. The same guy walks back in minutes later and apologizes to the bartender. Moments after that, the guy's buddy ends up getting in an argument with a guy. The biker guy is telling another guy to STFU but the guy who kept mouthing off is clearly too intoxicated to know better. Then I see the biker guy punch the drunk guy and that guy falls down in almost SLO MO. It was quite scary because the biker guy didn't stop even after the guy was down. So I grab my friend and have her come with me away from the action. After that incident, we ended up leaving as the cops came. After the bad food and the fight, I doubt we would ever go back. Disappointing since the karaoke was entertaining!

This Waldorf inspired playroom opened in January by a sweet mom of 3 with an educational background! They cater specifically to ages 0-5 years, but older siblings are welcome as well! Open Play is $15 for ages 1 and up, $12 for siblings, with 1 parent included and $5 each additional parent! They host parties for a fee with themed decor and balloons! Waivers can be signed conviently online to save time before visits and they sell grip socks as well in their boutique/snack area! Free cubbies, plenty of seating and couches with books to read to your children!

Plenty of things to encourage movement play as well as creative and logic/problem solving skills. Caregiver adults are welcome to play with their children, and there are also adult seating areas if the kids just want to play on their own, with direct line of sight to easily keep an eye on your little ones. Clean bathroom for adults and also includes a changing area for babies. Snacks available for purchase. Everything always seems clean and inviting. The adults are either friendly and welcoming or at minimum, polite and just interacting with their own kids. An excellent option for indoor play on hot or rainy days.

    Ski lodge vibe in Folsom? That Tahoe experience is closer than you'd think!…read more Located in a former escape room, Yager Lodge is more a place where you'll want to escape to instead of the other way around. Not so obvious from the entrance on Sutter Street, one descends from the street level down the "loft" to the underground bar, where suddenly you're in an exclusive speakeasy that feels like vacation. Emily, the General Manager, has roots in Allora and Mikuni, two places where the lost art of guest service is the highest priority. She's passionate about hospitality and says that people keep telling her she reminds them of their favorite bar manager from [fill in the blank]...come in and see who she reminds you of! The drink list is hardcover book-bound (cool!), with a past, present and future theme fitting for historic Folsom, featuring libations from classics to cutting edge. Time travel from the Filthy Martini (circa 1901, great if you love bleu cheese) all the way to S'mores in Jalisco (circa RIGHT NOW)! The S'mores cocktails (yes, there's more than one) are literally FIRE; they're topped with flaming marshmallows. So fun, with Halloween coming up it's ghost stories around the mini-campfire. The menu focuses on appetizers, with the Jalapeno Poppers holding a solid spot as their own unique Thing, a whipped masa creation that you can't find anywhere else. The upscale steakhouse food menu isn't your standard boring bar munchies, either...but it's really about the ambience and service. *Brunch Saturdays and Sundays starting at 10:00 AM* And speaking of pop-ups - heads-up, closed on Tuesdays through October in prep for exclusive events (Follow on Instagram!). The BIG multi-level venue takes days to decorate and no doubt will be decked out in awesome style!

Unfortunately, the vibe back here felt a little too quiet and a bit lonely. We found ourselves dining among an older crowd and the energy just didn't feel quite like advertised. The food menu did not have many interesting items to choose from. My cheeseburger was unfortunately way too salty and overcooked. The drinks were pretty good, but were only filled just about 3/4 of the way which was kind of disappointing. We enjoyed the cabin like decor and cozy atmosphere. On our way out, we realized we probably should've asked to be seated at the bar or in the main lounge area. That space looked much livelier and seemed to have the energy we were hoping for. We might give this place another try just to experience it from the bar lounge area next time.

There's three rooms/bar areas that each play different music and have a different vibe going on. The cover is typically $20 and they do have an atm on site you can use. One of the bars is cash only the others take card. Usually my friends and I go to the zombie room because the bartender there is super nice and makes really yummy fruity drinks. This room has tons of neon paint and funky decor, it's also where they have live music playing and an upstairs area you can sit in. The other areas are indoor/outdoor and they have seats outside on the front and back patio you can sit and smoke at. Depending on a lot of factors you might love it or might not. There's a big mix of people you'll meet here and there are some interesting individuals you'll meet. For the most part the music is decent, lots of space to dance, good drinks, and you can definitely make it more fun with a great group of people.
