Fantastic Spot To "Pregame" Shows @ Goldfields Next Door…read more SITREP We descended upon the Tack Room an hour before our show for "Ally The Piper" (both the classical AND heavy metal bagpiper extraordinaire) began her show! THE SETUP Goldfields is a charming, rustic country-western stylized saloon that serves up beer at good prices. But we weren't interested in beer and wanted quality cocktails. Hence, our pivot next door to the Tack Room! QUALITY COCKTAILS & DRINKS! The Tack Room specializes an amazing array of martinis, bourbons, and other deLISH cocktail drinks at really really reasonable prices! So this was an excellent choice to chill, thus avoiding the tremendous *noise pollution* we were immediately subjected to upon entering Goldfields an hour later for our show. THE LOWDOWN This is a quality bar with plenty of comfortable seating to relax and have quiet, intimate conversations. So if you and your later friend(s) want some privacy, cocktails at a reasonable price, etc., this is a good way to go.

What an absolutely fantastic place to duck into and chill for a bit on a hot summer day. It's about…read moreas classic as you can ask for from a small bar. It's themed around horse racing, but not in an overbearing or... tacky way. The mixologist was delightful and had great recommendations, the lights were dim, and the drinks were all on point. The highlight was the espresso martini, which is among the best I've had. It was reminiscent of the one I had at the Starbucks Roastery in NYC, which is high praise. The other coffee drink that surprised me was the Revolver. I always forget about what a good pairing orange and coffee is, and I'll be taking this one back home with me to try! Every other drink we tried was delicious in some unique way. The Pho drink was savory and surprising, the New York Sour was rich and flavorful, and the Practical Move was refreshing. Will definitely return here after dinner to sip an espresso martini for dessert!

While visiting friends in Sacramento, I was taken on an unplanned adventure of some notable…read morecocktail bars. A favorite of theirs is The Snug; they thought we wouldn't be able to get in but thanks to a concert nearby they had free tables. It's primarily a cocktail bar, but I stuck with a beer. The decor is an awesome mix of contemporary, brick, old west, and 20s. It was a happy clientele too, with what seemed like a younger post-workday crowd. The server was also fantastic. If you like cocktail bars with character, this is worth the visit.

The Snug is a great little bar that I feel gets overlooked on R Street. It's tucked away and…read moredoesn't face the street, which may be why but that also adds to the charm of bringing your friends here! Snug is themed around a modernized interpretation of an English hunting lodge--it's dark, moody, and elegant. It has a charming front patio that is made quaint by the high walls and an outdoor fountain separating you from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the bars in the area. Upon entering, you are transported into a dimly lit romance story. The Snug specializes in delightful cocktails that will wow your taste buds! Their menu is both seasonal and rotates regularly so it's a fun treat to swing by and find out what their currently making. One of my favorite recurring items is what they call a Hoosker Doo, which is often a spirit and amaro or apperitif. You can't go wrong with the Carribean Princess! Definitely consider Snug on your next date night or want something a bit different!

She really went to work on my hands and nails after a literal lifetime of nail biting and neglect. I am very happy with the results and will absolutely be back in a couple months for a refresh!

You order at the counter then are given a number. Picked up some complimentary chips and salsa and waited. The salsas here were pretty good. Particularly like the mild red salsa. Fresh radish and jalapeños available too. I loved my California burrito. I added avocado to it. The asada were meaty and plentiful. Fries were crunchy yet not greasy. My mom loved the beans here. That's always a big deal with Mexican spots. The chilaquiles were delicious. I'd order that myself on the next visit. We didn't care for their scrambled eggs on the plate, could've went a bit softer on the scramble. Overall this place is a great local spot for Mexican eats. Affordable while still serving big portions and awesome bites. Cashier was super friendly and patient.

The folks upstairs at Stage Nine directed us down the spiral staircase to the art gallery for check in. The person providing check in was very welcoming and kind, with attention to detail in my reservation that we were celebrating a birthday. You choose your cocktails ahead of time and are provided with tokens indicating your drink choice. I felt this was very efficient for the bartender to prepare for cocktail choices ahead of time. Shortly after the "show" began with a backstory of Elias Hawthorne before entering the tiki bar. I wish I could recall the gentleman's name, but I do remember Kim who was assisting him before entering, and throughout the event. Upon entering this tiki bar, you are transformed to an old era. Music from the 40s was playing (which I absolutely loved) and there is so much everywhere to look at. The experience from the very beginning to the very end was so well done and 100% interactive. The gentleman providing the entertainment was outstanding in his story telling, while the bartender and two assistants prepared the cocktails in the coolest Tiki Farm Tiki Mugs that are available for purchase. There is so much visual stimulation. lighting, effects, talking tikis and excellent cocktails. The guests were fully engaged in the story and games, and it was just the right amount of time for this interactive show. The entire staff worked so well together and were engaging and provided excellent customer service. We had eaten prior to the event, so I cannot speak to the food, but it came out quickly and other guests appeared to be enjoying the appetizers. We ended up purchasing three tiki mugs and a RSVLT shirt after the show. Overall we had a wonderful time, and I recommend this adventure for a date night, girl's night or work team building event.
