I went with a couple of friends and the drinks were great! I got the mangonada slush and it was perfectly sweet, spicy and refreshing. The bartenders were friendly and quick with getting our drinks out. Overall the space is well lit and beautiful. Next time I will have to try to sit out in patio. read more

Midtown spirits is a distillery but it has an interesting Filipino inspired brunch menu which is what I went for and not the alcoholic drinks! There is only street parking so it can be difficult to park and the restaurant does not have a parking lot. My friend wanted to try the matcha waffles so went to try it on a Sunday afternoon. The place was pretty crowded inside and all the seats were taken. They did have a good amount of outdoor seating which consisted of picnic tables for larger parties. It was overcast and cold so we were looking it for indoor seating but we ended up sitting outside. You go to the bar inside to order and then you are given a number and then a server brings your food out to your table. I went with 2 friends so I saved our table for us so it wouldn't get taken while they went to order for me. I ordered the short stack ube mochi pancakes which was only $6 for 2 pancakes which was so cheap! I was shocked at the price! If you want the full stack it is $12 which is still such a great deal. The pancakes came with strawberry and pineapple fruit topping, coconut shavings, and caramelized condensed milk syrup. The pancakes were chewy and soft and not too sweet and had good ube flavor. My fellow elite Yelp friend ordered the matcha waffles which was a large portion but she said the waffles lacked strong matcha flavor. I looked at the rest of their menu and wanted to try their savory Filipino dishes such as the loco moco. Overall, the ube pancakes are delicious and such a great deal! I want to go back to try the rest of their savory Filipino dishes next time! read more

Midtown Spirits - Ube pancakes - Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

I am not sure if anyone else is experiencing the shift in quality of food, but our last few visits have been a little disappointing. The bloody Mary fries were our staple, thick fries with an amazing seasoning, but now they're thin and the blend seemed off. Same with brunch. The ube pancakes are my go to, but our last visit they were so thick and gummy. The flavor was flat. It could be supply chain issues, but our last few visits have us a little concerned, and have been off enough that we aren't sure about continuing to frequent. Staff and the drinks are amazing, but with money tight, the food also has to be worth it for the price. read more

What a great distillery! Their drinks are really good and we had to try the spam fries! We each ordered 2 rounds of drinks and enjoyed them all. The spam fries were delicious and came with a tasty aioli dip. There is inside and outside seating and the staff is really nice. read more

Been here a few times after the farmer's market, and I've always had an acceptable time. On a recent brunch, I split the loco moco and musubi bowl with my gf. To start, it was the kentucky derby, so we started with some mint juleps. Man, it was just straight bourbon. There wasn't any flavor to the drink and it really didn't sit well with my stomach, so it wasn't a great start. The loco moco and musubi plate were solid. Honestly, great umami flavors from the filipino / hawaiian heritages, but I felt the proportions to be small and wasn't fully satisfied at the end. At the end of a meal like that, I prefer to be completely satiated and I always kind of leave this place wanting, which is my biggest critique. The crab rangoon was solid, and probably the highlight for me. In the end, this can be a 4 star place considering the vibe. It has a cool patio and the inside bar is dope. There a few TVs to view sports. It can be a great brunch spot honestly. However, I want to bring it down a notch bc of personal food experience. I still would come back. Regarding the service, you order at the bar. Everyone is very nice. It can take a minute. If you have a squad, I would have someone on seat duty, because it can get packed. read more

I would love it if we could do half stars here - they are definitely higher than a 4, but just shy of a 5-star rating. My husband and I stopped in last night around 5:30. They have a wonderful outdoor space and we sat watching the dog park which was fun for us! We had a gift card that I had won at a silent auction and I am SO glad we finally used it. If we lived closer, I could see myself being a regular here! We started with drinks, my husband had the old fashioned and I had the buzzed bunny. I have to admit, it was strange for me to seeing them getting the old-fashioned out of a tap, but hubs said it was good, so who am I to judge!! The buzzed bunny was really delicious! I enjoyed it completely. We got the tempura cauliflower to start - it was great! Light breading and the sauce was yummy. I had the GOAT salad and thoroughly enjoyed it. The greens were fresh and crisp, the nuts toasty, the cheese perfection, and the dressing just tangy enough. Also, I love beets, so it was a winner! My husband got the burger without the egg (can't remember the names), and he said it was delicious!! The garlic fries were a bit mild for my taste, but maybe more socially acceptable to be less garlicky. The staff was so friendly! The food came out super fast! The drinks were delish. I would definitely go back. read more

Popped in for happy hour (3-6pm!) and it was a beautiful day so sat in the patio out front. We ordered their Shamrock Slush (seasonal slushie) and it was 12/10. A little chocolate drizzle on the glass and topped with a mint leaf and whipped cream. So so good. We ordered a few apps: spam fries (happy hour), lumpia, pork belly fries. The food was all pretty good. The spam fries were unique but not super filling. I really liked the aioli it came with. The lumpia was really good and came with this great hot honey-ish sauce. Lastly the pork belly fries - mostly fries with a sprinkle of pork belly. Wasn't super impressed with these but it did the trick for a light snack. All in all, great drinks and our server/bartender was super sweet and food came out quick! read more

We loved our experience here :) we came at a good time before the line got long and everything was tasty! We got the slushy flight (lemonade, Thai, mangonada, POG) and the Capitol coffee cocktail. Mangonada was my personal favorite and Thai was my husband's favorite! The katsu fries were tasty as well as the cheesecake. Would come here again for the cocktail flights :) the outside seating area is super cute!! Some super loud customer ruined it yelling his life story outside so we went inside to the bar and the inside was a lot more chill :) bartender kept to himself but got the job done and was personable. Cute modern place for yummy drinks and chill atmosphere read more

Midtown Spirits in downtown Sacramento is such a fun spot! The matcha churros are a must-order -- perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and sweet in the best way. They honestly reminded me of Disneyland churros, just with that delicious matcha twist. Their drink menu is awesome too. There's such a great variety that there's truly something for everyone -- whether you're into craft cocktails, something fruity, or a classic go-to. It's a great place to hang out, try something new, and treat yourself. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Awesome atmosphere, we sat outside on the bench's. We ate the Pork Belly sisig and Ube Pancakes.

Pulled up here for the Jingle Bell Pup Crawl and honestly?? 10/10 festive chaos in the best way. The hot apple cider with their cinnamon whiskey was straight-up dynamite -- like a warm hug from Santa if Santa could also mix a drink. The Midtown Mule? Smooth, refreshing, and dangerously easy to sip. We also ordered the chicken lumpia, and yes, it slapped. Crunchy, hot, and exactly what our souls needed. But the REAL critic? Our dog. Lobo sat on the patio like a little old man watching the neighborhood drama unfold -- people watching, dog watching, probably judging someone's boots. Approved with tail wags and zero chaos. That alone earns five stars. Dog-friendly, cozy patio, great drinks, good food -- we'll definitely be back! Next time I'm bringing a blanket & ordering that cider by the gallon. read more

Midtown Spirits is located across the street from the Ice Blocks Dog Park making it popular with dog owners. In addition Leash and Collar is just down the street as well. We tried the brunch menu today and the food was out in like 5 minutes, this makes me think most of the food is precooked and just warmed up. We tried the drink flight $25 unfortunately we didn't specify we wanted the brunch flight but the dinner flight is still good. The Hella Moco is the best moco value wise in town. $22 gets you 2 burger patties, 2 bacon extra crispy, 2 longanisa, 2 spam, 2 eggs, rice and delicious mushroom gravy. This is my new fav loco moco. The burger patties were well done and dry compared to 18 grams or Scotts Seafoods patties but the Hella Moco still dominated. Short Stack of Ube pancakes were freaking moist and delicious. The lox was ok not my fav but wifey liked it. We also got Lil Yelper Lucie 2 ala carte eggs for $5. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. read more

Fabulous first trip to Midtown Spirits. Can't believe I've waited this long to try! The gal at the front was so gracious in answering all my questions and helping me make a selection on drinks. The food was to die for, omg. We had the goat & beer salad, tempura cauliflower, chicken katsu sandwich and deviled eggs. Everything was amazing. Prob could have passed on the shamrock shake but that's bc I think the milk cocktail combo took me out. Definitely will return. I recommend the patio seating while it's nice out. read more

We reserved for a party of 10 the day before and got patio seating for brunch. The restaurant is cute with all the halloween decor. I shared 4 entrees with 2 others; each entree did not have a large portion of food Mushroom sisig (one of their entries for vegan chef challenge): crispy and well seasoned, a decent ratio of batter to mushroom. The garlic vinegar was a nice dip. Would recommend. Pork belly sisig: crispy but the amount of meat was small. The flavor was savory and went well with lemon. The garlic butter rice was decent, but doesn't taste good when it goes cold. shrimp happens: underwhelming. Shrimp was well cooked with shell on. Batter wasn't that crispy. Overall felt more greasy than the others. ube pancakes: fluffy, not to sweet, and went well with the condensed milk. Ube flavor was not there. We asked for more condensed milk since the amount on the pancake was limited. I would probably not come back here again, but it was nice to try! read more

The atmosphere was great and the service was excellent. The servers were very polite. My first drink was the dillarissic, dill pickle drink. I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered it because I hate dill juice . I didn't like the drink at all. My buddy had the white Russian and it was very good. The strawberry vodka was delicious and I bought a bottle to take home. The pineapple chili vodka was also very good if you like heat. For food, my pork belly had a strong zest taste which really turned me off. My buddy had the hot dog dish, can't recall the name but it was decent. The pancakes looked like the go to. read more

Midtown Spirits continues to be one of our favorite brunch spots. When we have friends or family visiting from out of town this is a must stop. They have indoor and outdoor seating and you can find street parking nearby relatively easily (during peak hours you may have a to walk a bit further). You walk in and order at the bar and then find a seat. Don't forget to check out the specials and take a look at their list of infused vodka flavors. They already have a great menu of drinks, but you can change them up by using infused vodka flavors. They have delicious vodka slushies available with some rotating flavors- the POG is our favorite and is always available. They also have some cocktails on draft for quick service, but offer so many options. The longer they're around, the more options they have. They're a distillery and sell vodka in a few flavors as well as gin and rum. On top of that they sell fun items like merch, coasters, barrel aged honey, and the Preservation & Co. products like the bloody mary mix they use. Speaking of, their Bloody Mary is one of my favorites. I love ordering it with pickle AND horseradish vodka and it's super flavorful. Other favorites are the Moscow Mule with apple cinnamon vodka, and on our recent visit my husband tried it with apple cinnamon and cranberry vodka and it was so good. I also love their white linen and I love to have the bartenders surprise me with a drink they're working on. The food is also fantastic! On my recent visit they had spam pops as a special, basically spam corn dogs, and they were awesome. We also got the Loco Moco ($16) and the Hella Loco ($22) to compare the two- basically one just has ALL THE MEATS. I'd recommend getting the Hella Loco and sharing it. So good! It looks like the breakfast fries are off the menu now, but their regular fries are delicious. Our friends got the hangover burger and loved it too. This spot is family friendly, and dog friendly (on the patio). They also have special menu items and offerings throughout the year- check their social media for updates. read more

Went here on Valentine's day, and totally forgot to write this review! I was surprised by the fusion Filipino tapas style dishes here. I didn't think I'd see that on the menu tbh because I came here for drinks with a one off. I really liked the lychee cold drinks, though I would pass on the star apple shots. I think the waitress probably hadn't had Star apple before (one of my favorite childhood memories), though they didn't specify tapas, the small portions of rich flavors is what leads me to this type of thinking. I probably wouldn't come here again but it was entertaining enough, and I loved the presentation of all the dishes and drinks! read more

This is a great spot, especially on Tuesdays. It's game night! Was just there and the owner, Jason was calling out bingo with his bro pulling numbers. They also have a Plinko set up going (if you watch the price is right you know what I'm talking about) where you get to play to get discounts on drinks. Awesome! The bartenders are cool (props to Deanna). She makes a mean old fashioned. Interestingly enough, it comes out of a tap! Who knew? Any day is a great day to visit. The food is good, the drinks are good, and so is the crowd. Check it out! read more

This place constantly stands out as one of my most favorite places to eat and drink. The menu and drinks continue to push the boundaries of amazingness. Their menu continues having me tell EVERYONE to come here. I always get a Dudes Abide with Earl Grey vodka which I guarantee will become a staple in your life once you try it. I usually also get a Bloody Mary since it's practically their signature cocktail here in Sacramento. The food contsntly baffles me on how good it can get. They always have some phenomenal standards on the menu but they also record the menu quite often and it never disappoints. Best French fries with their Bloody Mary mix, best Hella Loco Moco and best SHRIMP!! There is a new Shrimp dish that should have a Michelin star just on its own. Come to this location, it will never let you down. Also somehow they hired the best staff like Chris, Deanna. Kelsey, Alexis, Lauren, etc... everyone is great! read more

this was my first time at midtown spirits and what a gem this place is! let's dive right in: FOOD 10/10. no notes. AMAZING food. we started with the crab wontons. think crab rangoons with a twist, crisped to perfection, and served with a sauce that will send your tastebuds into orbit. YUM. we got the ube pancakes & my goodness, they were incredible. the perfect most fluffy pancakes and the fresh fruit is the perfect pairing with the cakes. we tried the corned beef hash and and musubi bowls, which were both absolutely divine. DRINKS we tried the dude abides and swapped the classic vodka for their vanilla vodka and it was SO tasty. since it's a distillery, they make all their own infused alcohol; offering SO many house made options to swap/add to your cocktail! SERVICE when you walk in, you order at the bar and find your seat. Deanna was our server and was extremely kind, explaining everything to us. 10/10 service -- thanks Deanna! PARKING limited to street paid parking nearby. fortunately it's located near the ice blocks, so if you have to park far away, swing by a shop or two! AMBIANCE super chill vibes inside. the distillery is the first thing you notice when you walk inside -- so dope. they also have a bunch of their liquors/cocktails/mixers on the walls for sale which totally elevates the decor. obviously will be back because everything was fantastic *insert droll emoji*. already looking forward to trying something new at midtown spirits! read more

The parking is a bit chaotic and the location is not convenient. The service was excellent though, which made up for the parking. I got the Ube Pancakes and was surprised that there was no syrup, just caramel sauce. There also were not many coconut flakes or berries. Overall the flavor was fine but very dry and I probably wouldn't order again, unless I was getting it as a side to split along with something else. I also got the sweater weather slush and it was honestly amazing and I would come back just for that. read more

I saw an ad for Midtown Spirits on Instagram and the Flight of Slushies sold me! We went and were not disappointed! The person at the counter was super friendly and talked to us about the different types of Slushies that they offered. We ordered the Flight of Slushies: Mangonada, Hawaiian POG, Daiquiri and Piña Colada. They were all very tasty! My favorite was the Mangonada. I also ordered a BBQ Smash Burger with bacon and fries. The brioche bun was toasty and buttery. Overall a super fun experience! I will definitely go back! read more

Midtown Spirits is such a fun place to hang out at! I've previously come during brunch and tried their ube pancakes and loco moco. The ube pancakes were smaller than I expected but they were still fluffy and tasty! The loco moco was perfectly beefy and the gravy was one of my best gravies I've tried. This most recent time I've come in, I was happy to see that they added more Filipino dishes to the late night menu, like the pork adobo. The adobo was savory, sour, garlicky, and salty, but in a good way! I did have to ask for extra rice because the sauce was a bit too much lol For the infused spirits, I've tried a variety such as horseradish, pickle, habanero, and so many more. And unpopular opinion, but I really liked horseradish!! It's a fun time for my friends and I to come in and try a crazy new flavor each time read more

Love the happy hour vibes here. Good prices and fun drinks and food. Cute venue not far from home.

Love midtown spirits! They always have a creative drink menu and their slushies are some of the best in the area. I love going during happy hour and being able to try multiple things. I also went for brunch and was surprised at how good the food was! It's so hard to find Filipino food here in sacramento so it was nice to finally see some options. The bartenders are quick and attentive to your likings. I like the outdoor seating patio and that they have both tables indoors and bar top seats! read more

Love the food, amazing staff, and rustic fun atmosphere. So many good things! We had 16 people that walked with me at the Breast Cancer Walk at Sac State. I had reached out to the restaurant and made a reservation the week prior. Everything was set when we arrived. I didn't get pictures of everything, but got to taste almost all the dishes ordered. Everything was delicious!!! I ordered the Pumpkin Espresso Martini- and the Hawaiian POG, a little brain freeze, but we all came back for more.. Loved my Pork Sisig with a sunny side up egg, just like my mom used to make. Hubby got the Loco Moco, again tons of flavor. And I ordered Corned Beef Lumpia and Chicken Lumpia.. I also ordered the Pork Adobo to go. And yes so so good heated up at home For the tables to share, I ordered the Ube Pancakes, The matcha churros, bananas foster French toast and the special Ube Cheesecake. Everyone loved everything. Almost forgot, I wanted to try the hangover burger, and one of my friends let me taste and yes so so good! Thank you to the awesome Bartenders and Waitstaff. We were all happy with the great service! Not a complaint but a wish for them, that they get a bigger location someday. They would pack it in. Lots of people waiting by the time we left. This will be one of our "destination-favorite-meal"locations. See you guys again soon! read more

2 years later, still 5 stars. This is a regular spot for me, at least once a month! What I love most about Midtown Spirits is that there are no sacrifices made, the entire experience is enjoyable. The bartenders are always super friendly and attentive, willing to entertain my questions about new drinks (and old drinks) anytime. The food is SO GOOD. It's fresh, and they offer vegetarian options. The tempura cauliflower with lemon juice is a staple for me. The cocktails! I've been here many times in many situations - with my family and young son, meeting girlfriends, first-time meets with new friends, even a work meeting. Every single time the cocktails have been SPOT ON. They are perfectly balanced and never watered down. Even the slushies! I will only order alcoholic slushies from Midtown, they hold their shape and still give you a good little buzz. I also love that they keep a Rolodex of cocktail recipes. They have a good handful of seasonal drinks, but can usually make you one that's not on the menu. One of my FAVORITES is the Mike Thai. Its to die for, and they can make it whether it's on the menu or not! A few other lovables - White Linen, Strawberry Fields, and my other go-to the Dude's Abide. I look forward to continued patronage at this great spot! read more

I've been to Midtown Spirits twice now. The first was on a hotter-than-you-know-what summer day when one of their boozy slushies really hit the spot. It was an ube slushy, in fact, and was the perfect cocktail to enjoy after lunch nearby with some coworkers. In fact, I spent months thinking about that ube slushy, so I was more than thrilled to find myself at a nearby farmer's market on my most recent trip to Sacramento - and I had JUST enough time to pop in to enjoy its purply goodness before I had to head to the airport. Alas, the ube slushy is no more. The server reported that they had discontinued it, as they didn't feel it was very popular - although, she noted that MANY people had come in to order it and missed it very much. At least I wasn't alone in my disappointment. I settled on a POG smoothie, which was definitely not as good (or as pretty) as the ube, but was tasty nonetheless. I like a sweet slushy, and this one was semi-sweet. I drank about half then headed for the airport. While I was there, it was brunch time, and people were getting some seriously delish-looking eats (and bloody marys too); so I will have to plan on a return trip to Midtown on my next trip to the area, to enjoy some brunch and, maybe-just-maybe, the return of the ube smoothie too? read more

Midtown Spirits - POG smoothie. - Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

We wanted to like this place so much. It was definitely a vibe from the minute you walk in. It seemed perfect for a sunday brunch. Drinks- bloody mary (which was oddly sweet) and the Fig and bubbles (prosecco cocktail) which was well balanced. Food - We ordered the calamari appetizer that came out looking like fish sticks. Then we got our meals. First up was the cornbeef hash that was basic and did not stand out from any other cornbeef dish we have had in downtown. The dish itself did not have a Midtown Spirits twist imo. Then the real letdown came with the pork sigig meal, the overeasy egg on top had more raw egg whites then anyone should eat, when we asked to get it recooked so the white part was done they just brought it back flipped over so now the egg whites were all over the rice. Once again we asked for it to be recooked and even the waitress agreed that it did not look right and asked the kitchen to completely remake it. The waitress was nice and brought us a a shot while we waited, however the dish really should have been compt at that point. Overall would probably not return, but you never know....everyone deserves a 2nd chance read more

All I have to say is POG slushie. I have to get it, my favorite!!!! Never ever get rid of it. Craving it now just thinking about it. Slush is never watery and very flavorful. I should try other drinks but I just keep going back for that, can't help myself. Service is always nice, walk up bar. Casual place, both indoor and outdoor seating. Good vibes and music. read more

I love coming here for the unique drinks and brunch. However, it's not a full 5 stars from me because the ube pancakes use to be dairy free and could accommodate my family with dairy allergy and suddenly they were switched to being dairy so it rules coming here for brunch out a lot. Overall though it's a chill ambiance and good service. Just note that it does get pretty busy. read more

This is my #1 all time favorite brunch spot in Sacramento. I come here all the time, I love their Asian fusion menu and their flexibility to make meals more vegetarian friendly. They also have an awesome drink menu and I always get the Capitol coffee to go with it. I highly recommend the ube pancakes and the mushroom loco moco-I order both every time! The service is really friendly and the bar itself is super hip and dog friendly. I like sitting outside on their covered patio. Besides brunch it's a really great place for some casual drinks, definitely try their slushies: the mangonada is a must try+ their seasonal slushie is always tasty read more

We grabbed some drinks here during their Halloween specials. We got the Bag o' blood which was basically a vodka punch. It was a generous portion! I basically got two drinks out of it. Fun concept! It was very sweet. The espresso slushee martini was also very sweet and following the bag o blood with that lead to a bit of a sugar overload! The vibe was very laid back. Not too crowded. Good for talking with friends over drinks. I would be interested to come back and try their brunch. read more
