I visited this place on a Friday afternoon around 6 pm. There was parking, luckily, and not a lot of people inside. We sat at the bar and enjoyed some beer, and crown royal / coke. I had the blonde beer, really good and refreshing. The service was good, the bartender was quick to get our drinks and check in on us. This place also has a downstairs area that is a brewery, and a rooftop that opens at 7 pm. It's a cool spot, I can see it getting busy later in the evenings or Saturdays. I didn't try the food but it looks like they have quite a few options.
Came in on a Saturday around 5:45pm. We had a group of seven. They kindly put us at a large table with bench seating. This is a local sports bar with a warehouse feel. There is a large rectangular bar and several tables. We opened a tab for our table and ordered several entrees: gastroburger (medium), bacon cheeseburger, Greek salad and the peach raspberry mile purple crown and an old fashion. The burgers were amazing!!! The Greek salad had a great lemon dressing : ) the drinks (mules, old fashioned, beer). Loved this place. Food is amazing and drinks were great as well. The only thing is that there is only street parking or a paid parking lot.
Ambiance 5/5- It's clean, expansive with plenty of dining options, from their basement to the rooftop. Perfect place for happy hour or hanging with family or friends. Food 4/5 -We had pizza, salad and buffalo wings. I was expecting standard tasting food but the taste exceeded my expectations. The pizza crust was light and fluffy like it was oven fire roasted. The buffalo wings were exceptionally crispy which is rare in most buffalo wings. Everything was good! Service 4/5- We sat at the bar and our bartender was warm and welcoming.
Stopped here before heading to the auditorium across the street. Decided to try this place because location location location lol. You walk up and order, they have a large beer menu as well as food options. I had the guacamole bacon burger and it was honestly cooked perfectly with a side salad instead of fries. Husband had the spicy chicken sandwich which is a thin cutlet that's breaded perfectly on a sourdough bread and fries. Daughter has the grilled cheese with tomato soup and she loves it! There was a bit of a wait for food so I'm happy we came early. But I don't think they were expecting it to be busy with kids on a Wednesday. So definitely would come back again.
This is one of these businesses that is confusing as to what the name is. To make things simple and according to the Sacramento County food facility inspection website, it is called "Burgers and Brewhouse". The main dining area is called "Midtown Gastro Bar" while the rooftop area names it "Midtown Rooftop Bar". And even though they are still owned by the same people that own Burgers and Brew, this place is not on the Burgers and Brew website. Sometimes multiple restaurants under one owner can be quite a tricky process. However, this place is affiliated by their sister (and more popular) location at R and 14th St's as well as locations in West Sacramento, Davis, and Chico. Located directly on J St. (and in between 16th and 17th St's in the heart of Midtown Sacramento), Midtown Gastro Bar has been operating since 2018. Before, this place was where "Purgatory" once stood until the building was left empty for a few years. During my most recent experience, I ended up coming here during the afternoon of Sunday 5/21/2023 at around 3:30pm. As many other Yelp reviews have stated, the purpose of visiting a restaurant is to enjoy the beautiful outdoors; especially when Sacramento experiences beautiful weather in the spring and fall months. Which is why I find it quite disappointing that their rooftop bar is ONLY opened Friday & Saturday from 8pm-12am. However, this place does have a decent outdoor patio where you can enjoy a meal & drink as well as peoplewatching everyone going about their day. The inside though is quite impressive with a very spacious bar area, lots of tables for dining in (especially the cool winter night and hot summer days), and quite a bit of TV's that are viewable from every angle. Their menu is your standard pub-styled food that includes mozzarella sticks, jalapeño poppers, wings, sandwiches, salads, and pizzas. Their burger selection is very minimal as they only have about 3 different burgers (as opposed to the 20+ burgers from their other locations). Since I wasn't craving anything too heavy, I ended up ordering their "12 Bone-in Buffalo Wings" for my +1 and I priced at a very reasonable $12. These wings are sautéed in red-hot buffalo sauce and I ended up going with both ranch and bleu cheese dressings. To drink, I went with an iced cold "Mojito" also priced low at just $7. During my visit, I ordered everything at the bar while the bartender handed me a number and I proceeded to sit outside. Service was timely and attentive as they only took about 10 minutes to bring my wings out. Overall, these wings hit the spot with a ton of chicken meat and the perfect amount of seasoning. All in all, "Midtown Gastro Bar" is a decent place for comfort food, a variety of drinks, and a good place to gather with friends. Many Yelp reviews have stated that the service, wait times, and food did not meet their expectations. I will say, at least from my experience that I had an enjoyable experience other than not being able to go to the rooftop bar. With that said and done, I am giving them an above average four star rating.
Disclaimer: bartenders and servers seem cool. This is obviously a business owner disregard to their business I ran into this spot by looking at a wall of food items that don't even exist. This chicken sando is garbage. Since I read the wall and ordered expecting the wall food. Bro I expected coleslaw, pickles, aoili.. but it was actually a LTO Buffalo chicken sandwich with sourdough... fix your wall dudes that's absolutely ridiculous. And the price is insane. Fries aren't even that good. I am just so disappointed man. Figure it out.
I had such a fun, first-time visit at Midtown Gastro Bar. Met up with some friends for some drinks and small bites. They have a dog-friendly outdoor front patio (huge-plus) and they have an even bigger roof-top with comfy cabana-like couches plus a full bar upstairs. The DJ spinning on the Friday night I visited was great. He had the crowd dancing and having fun! The main floor is nice too. When you enter, you are greeted with high ceilings and a big open bar that's adjacent to the kitchen. They have multiple big screen TVs throughout the walls, which makes this spot great for watching sports especially for those Sunday Football games. I think I found my go to place for my Sunday Fundays!!! This place is very underrated and deserves more than its current 3 star rating. Come check out Midtown Gastro Bar, such a fun environment!
The original place we intended to eat at was closed, so a quick Yelp search showed Midtown Gastro Pub was open and just around the corner. Since it was a Tuesday night, parking wasn't much of an issue but they do have a parking lot to the right of the building should there be no street parking. When we walked in, it was pretty empty. Literally only 5 people and that's including the bartender and cook! Again, kinda expected since it was late on a random Tuesday. We walked up to the bar and they had the menus on the counter so we grabbed some and seated ourselves. After a few minutes, the bartender came to our table with waters and took our order. I had the fish and chips, my husband had the tomato soup with grilled cheese and we also got their jalapeño poppers. Fish and chips were meh, just ok. You'd think they have a beer batter but it was more like bread crumbs. Fish is also tilapia, so a cheap fish at a fairly steep price. My husband did enjoy his tomato soup though. The jalapeño poppers were decent but I had asked for blue cheese instead of ranch and he still brought ranch. Our friend ordered a Strawberry vodka with soda water and he was given a vodka cranberry. Not even remotely close to what he ordered. Overall service was ok, he was the only one tending bar and working the tables. Inside is fairly large, there is a downstairs that was blocked off where all the brewery tanks and equipment are. The main level has a large open bar with seating all around and pub style tables along the walls. Upstairs is their rooftop bar, unfortunately it was closed off the night we came but may be worth another visit to check it out. Overall food ok, nothing exceptional. Menu is a little lacking as well. Between the messed up drink, no blue cheese and minimal follow up, service was just ok as well. Would we be back for late night eats, probably not but I'd come back to try out the rooftop area.
This place is awesome! I walked in with my husband tonight to eat a good burger and a good burger is what I got! Not only was the food good but the bartender was great! His name was Marco! Another customer who was 86ed refused to leave and began yelling at him that she was going to get him fired. She was out of line and he handled it beautifully! I tried my best to stay out of it because you just never know these days. He walked away and let her fight with herself until she finally left. As a bartender myself I made sure to let him know that he handled it well and I definitely want management to know that he did well! He then went above and beyond to make the rest of our experience great! Thank you Marco!
Service was great. Bartender allowed us to try our choice of beer prior to final order. We ordered two burgers I ordered The gastroburger- Delicious. And my friend the Spicy Guacamole Burger- Its a decent spice to enjoy your burger. Fast service too. 100% recommended. They also have a rooftop to chill every once in a while.

Tonight my friends and I went here for dinner and drinks. It's a chill atmosphere. You order your food and drinks at the bar and then you sit down and they bring you your food and drinks. It's a good place to watch your sports games. Down stairs seems a little more if you have kids to sit. read more
I haven't been here for years when they were Burgers and Brew. In a way it is still similar as you order and pay at the bar. We each ordered burgers with fries. The burgers were good; however, I don't think my fries gotten enough time. It tasted uncooked in the center in some of them. The others said theirs were fine. Maybe it would be better the next time I come. read more
We came for happy hour for a friend of ours and it was fun to Watch them get into the Niners game. The food was pretty decent after having a few drinks. We did hang upstairs most of the time and I guess is separate from the bottom and main floor? I might be wrong. The gladiator fries were pretty good, the chicken was kind of tough. The jalapeño poppers were yummy. read more

Pretty excited to walk past this location while on lunch break. I usually visit the R street location but seating is limited there. There are ample seatings here. The restaurant has 3 levels... downstairs is the brew house and they offer patio seating upstairs. Very cute!! Service was good. We were greeted immediately upon arrival as it wasn't packed on a Friday afternoon. I ordered my typical - pastrami burger and fries. Yum-o!!! read more

We reserve this place for the kids, and the waitress was so rude because the kids were loud. She didn't talk to the parents she came straight with the kids and take the genga blocks away from their hands. read more

I've been wanting to come check out the newly renovated building and also the rooftop patio at Burgers & Brewhouse. My friend had suggested that we should go for Sunday Brunch, so we did! A plus is that they were serving Bottomless Mimosas from 9am-1pm, which paired perfectly with the cold weather, Brunch and all the Sunday football games. Since there weren't that many customers at the time we arrived, our server was very accommodating at letting us choose where to sit at. We were so indecisive because we had six people, wanted to get a great view of the tv on the patio (which was only in the bar area), but finally he suggested to put us along the wall, which is the absolute perfect spot. Our server was absolutely awesome at keeping the bottomless mimosas coming! We arrived around 12:00pm and the restaurant started getting busier around 2:00pm. So he got really busy around that time and came back a little slower than we first arrived, but we didn't mind because it was the time we were leaving anyway. On the rooftop patio, they have outdoor heaters above for those who get cold or need a little bit of warming up. Since it was a beautiful sunny Sunday morning, we really didn't need them on, even though it was chilly outside, because the sunshine warmed us up really quick on the rooftop! I had ordered the Fried Eggs sandwich with a side of Mixed Salad. My Grilled Cheese and Egg sandwich was served on a delicious extra toasted Brioche Bun with sautéed spinach, avocado, tomato, and bacon. I'm not a huge meat eater in the mornings, so the slices of bacon were absolutely perfect and not overwhelming! It totally hit the spot and I think next time, I'll try it with some soup to top off more flavor! Just a Tip: A couple of friends went to the Burgers & Brew location on R Street. I guess it could be a little confusing when you're from out of town. So when preplanning your meet-up or event, specify that this location is on "J" Street and not "R". read more
This place is pretty good both times that I've been here. -Nice rooftop area, basement has game area. The rooftop doesn't have much of a view. -I haven't tried the burgers; friends told me they were "okay". I had a tofu salad which I liked. -Service has been prompt and attentive. -Large selection of brews if you're into beer. -They have a nice brunch selection and it's not busy on Sundays. Bottomless mimosas available. I enjoyed their French toast. -If you get fries DEFINITELY get the jalapeno mayo to dip it in. Simple but delicious. -The place overall is fun, lots of tvs for sports, great for large groups, does get a bit noisy. read more

Solid Performance For My Dairy-Challenged Cousin (AND Delicious Food As Well) SITREP After the recent Midtown Second Saturday festivities wound down by 10:30pm, my cousin Dale F. and myself were looking for a late night "hangout" where we could grab a drink and get a late dinner (since we didn't have time before all the *oonze oonze*'ing started up in Midtown). As we wandering down I Street, I realized we were coming up on Burgers & Brewhouse ("Brewhouse") and opted to steer us here (and away from Streets of London, at least on this occasion) since neither of us had hit this spot yet. THE SETUP When we arrived, we got a bit of a run-around with the downstairs staff (mid-level) and the upstairs staff - their communication didn't seem to be in sync, and there always seems to be the "plausible deniability"-factor in which level-staff actually heard a request or statement, it being very easy to deny responsibility by saying, "It was probably the other station that was supposed to be seating you." But after about 7-8 minutes, we were a "go" for a table on the upstairs patio, and it being a nice, cool night out at this point (closing in on 11pm), it was a welcome alternative than being inside. ESTABLISHMENT METRICS * Absolutely gorgeous furnishings * Full, long bars * Multiple taps * Beautiful picture windows looking over the brew tanks It makes wandering around the Brewhouse a sightseeing-spectacle! DIETARY RESTRICTIONS Once seated, we perused the menu, and this is where it becomes a struggle for my cousin Dale since he is lactose-intolerant (ie. allergic to all dairy products). [It's his reality - he didn't ask to have dairy-allergies, but he DOES, so we have to find the best ways to deal with it. To be blunt about the issue, this not only means avoiding obvious dairy food items such as cheese, milk, creamy sauces, etc., but it ALSO means doing your best to avoid more INSIDIOUS items: 1. making sure that food items are not cooked in butter; 2. getting assurances that other products do not contain dairy inside them or prepared with dairy, such as: bread, onion rings, breaded mushrooms and green beans, etc. etc. And everything I just mentioned now in the last sentence at most places DOES have dairy in it whether you knew it or not. NEW PLACE, NEWISH STAFF VS. SEASONED MANAGER As expected at a newer spot, you are going to have newer - and sometimes VERY young - staff who may not have a sufficient knowledge base on how to address these issues because they may never have heard of it before, and a server may honestly not know what the food preparations are for their restaurant. Where I have to give the Brewhouse the most props is in the floor manager wandering around the patio-rooftop where we were seated, coming up to tables, and asking patrons how things were going. Dale had just shared his usual litany of lactose-concerns with the server, who dutifully went off to the kitchen to ask the questions of the cooks. However, the manager wandered our way and she was a very knowledgeable and delightfully proactive resource for Dale to understand his options. Just in their short discussion, the manager instructed Dale to avoid all of the fried foods, and they would make their traditional hamburger in a lettuce wrap for him! *BINGO* That worked well for him (and an hour or two later he was still feeling very good, so we knew at that point that the menu options he selected were on the up-and-up). [You'll notice he still risked the french fries because usually the footprint of dairy if in fries is very minimal.] https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/burgers-and-brewhouse-sacramento-2?select=2n2epOqI9U8lmeJCNvbTMw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w [Of course, as if to rub it in, since I don't have a dairy-challenged, I enjoyed my Aged-Cheddar Cheeseburger and greasy-buttery breaded Onion Rings with great delight!] https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/burgers-and-brewhouse-sacramento-2?select=5wok_lvbWK4JgkXK_O7yRA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE BEER! There's NO DAIRY in our Stout Beer and so that was something we could both enjoy together! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/burgers-and-brewhouse-sacramento-2?select=yqa2YCdkejV8_M_qm3sZqQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE LOWDOWN A very pleasant burger stop at the Brewhouse! read more
Decided to give this location a shot this past Sunday. The place was empty but we decided we wanted to hit that rooftop! Let's get to it . I ordered a grapefruit drink (2.9%) super light it was delicious and I also wanted to hit something basic because how can that go wrong. Cheese burger it was. I also ordered some curly garlic fries and they were the best at the table for sure. The perfect amount of garlic. My burger was ... basic for $11 I don't think I'll be be doing that again. The ambiance was cool the place was clean and service was acceptable. Parking is free Sunday *tip* find a spot and jump bike it . read more

I was wondering why the newest B&B location had such a low rating considering it seems to be a Sacramento staple.... but I think I agree with it, after our first visit. We arrived on a Saturday at lunch time and the place was pretty empty. We sat inside because it was already pretty warm out, so we will have to check out the rooftop seating another time. There were way more workers than there were guests, but at least we were taken care of right away and food came out quickly. The menu is the same as the other locations, so don't let the name change fool you. I was never a huge fan of the burgers like others are, but I was craving a burger and we were nearby so I thought we would come for lunch. I ordered the bacon fusion burger, how could you go wrong with a beef patty infused with bacon?! It was a pretty sight when it came out, with those garlic curly fries, but the taste was so underwhelming. My patty was more like medium well to well done, pair that with a dry hard bun, and you get a really dry burger. At least those curly fries were super yummy but it just wasn't a plate worth $13. I'd only come back if I was in the mood to check out the rooftop patio, but you won't see me coming here the next time I'm craving a burger. read more
I came here with a large group of 11 and it wasn't busy at all when we came in. We sat inside on the main floor because it was a bit cold to sit on out on the rooftop but I will definitely have to come back and check it out!! There's plenty of seating of course! There are larger tables downstairs in the basement area. Our server was very kind and accommodating. A few of my friends sampled a couple of the beers... the danky doodle and the rapture I believe? They ended up ordering those too. My boyfriend and I shared the smoked aged cheddar burger and upgraded our fries to the New England fries. The fries are bomb!!! Definitely upgrade your fries with your burger because it's cheaper than just ordering a specialty fries. The portions are very big and filling! read more

They put an overwhelming amount of jalapeño on the burger it's soggy and heart burn spicy even if you take off the ridiculous amount of jalapeños there is alot of seeds left stuck in the cheese. I took a few bites and could not eat it. The waitress asked if I wanted a jalapeño burger w no jalapeños in in a funny tone... I was confused at the fact that they didn't understand that this amount of jalapeño is over the top. She said she could replace it then a dude came out and said no they wouldn't remake it. They already took the burger away so I had to ask for them to take it off the check. Then the man replied to my request like--sure I'll do you that favor. Be careful w the jalapeños here maybe ask for it on the side bc if you don't like it your SOL. read more

Okay, I have always liked burgers and brew. I started out in Davis and that's when my love of higher end burgers began. Yum When I moved to Sacramento I was really sad that the R street one was the only one that was here. Then they opened to one at the Firehouse and now this one! This revived my excitement for Burgers and Brew in Sacramento. It has my favorite* a roof top sitdown for the evenings. Opens at 6pm. They offer the crunchy and delicious burgers of burgers and brew. I have not tried the beers here yet. The ambiance is great, it has great decor for our times and would be a great lunch or dinner place for a date or family hangout night. Good location, good set-up, and so far great food! I was happy. My photo is spicy guac burger with curly fries! read more

As a fan of the Burgers and Brew location in Davis, it was only natural I try their location off J street in Sacramento's Midtown district. Out of all the Burgers and Brews, I like this one the most because it is the largest. There's the basement, ground floor and rooftop. You can even check out all the brewing magic going on in the basement so that itself is worth the visit! I ordered the spicy guacamole burger and curly fries and my friend got a sandwich and a salad. My burger was cooked exactly how I wanted it which is great because a lot of places tend to overcook medium rare orders. I really appreciate how they offer a variety of sides from beer battered onion rings to garlic fries, but I always go with their classic curly fries and they never disappoint. My friend and I split a pitcher of the Frisky Blonde and it was very crisp and clean with slight grainy flavors so I would recommend that for a pitcher because it was very easy and smooth to drink. The waiters weren't overbearing but were there when we needed them.
