I'm all for causal clubs, but, if I'm paying $20 to get in I really don't want to party with guys wearing pants halfway down their ass. Just a very basic dress code would be appreciated, even Barwest does so. I'd suggest no excessively baggy clothes, no plain red or blue t's or polos, no grillz, baseballs hats, swimwear, etc. I don't think people should be going to the club looking like they just got out the gym or skate park iykwim

Myself and my entire group was removed/denied entry for my medical bag being "out of policy".This…read moreis not simply just a purse or a bag I bring for convenience, it contains all three of my epilepsy medications, including my emergency seizure medication, which I need to have accessible in case of an emergency. I also have documentation and prescriptions for all of my medications. I asked if I can remove all other items in my bag ( lip gloss, chapstick, black gel pen, and hair ties) and they still said no. I then came back WITHOUT my bag and she said I couldn't come in because I was previously denied for my bag or as they say " Since we seen it in the past the policy still stands" I literally had to laugh out loud but then let my 3 friends in with fanny packs & cross body before me? I was in the back of the line and was next after my friends got checked and that's when I was denied entry the second time despite not having my bag or anything besides my phone and Id. Because of my epilepsy, I'm unable to drive, so when I go out I have to rely on public transportation, Lyft, or Uber. That means carrying my medication with me is a necessity, not something I can simply leave in my car. I completely understand that businesses have security policies and restrictions on bags. However, I was disappointed that there wasn't an accommodation. I've been to other Sacramento establishments, including The Depot, Dive Bar, The Merc, and Low Brau, where staff were able to accommodate me while allowing me to keep my bag with my medication with me. The security seem to have a reoccurring issue with customers based on the reviews on both yelp and google so that being my experience as well seems to add up. What makes this especially disappointing is that I was actually really excited to check Faces out, especially because I was looking forward to creating content there. Unfortunately, being denied entry over the medical bag left a very negative impression and completely changed my experience before I even had the opportunity to visit. I hope management considers having a clear policy for medically necessary medication and makes sure staff know how to handle situations like this appropriately. People with medical conditions shouldn't have to choose between carrying essential medication and being able to enjoy an establishment.

I've been coming here for decades and every night here is sure to be fun and a different experience every time. The ambiance is definitely a vibe but we also come for the fun and friendly staff too. Pedro is our favorite bartender. He's always so warm and welcoming. They have pool tables and a jukebox. Their cash only policy can be a pain especially when it's a surprise pop in while out in a group. They do have an atm machine available but between that fee and your bank fee I find it's better to just borrow money from a friend and Venmo them lol. There is a really large mostly enclosed patio area in the back that turns into a dance floor most weekends.

Don't know if she's still there but one fateful experience with one particular security guard was enough to turn me and my friends away from this place forever.

Depot is also right next to it and attached so go in one and you can get to the other. Diff vibes for both but both chill af. Cheap drinks to pregame and end your night with.

If you're into playing pool, darts or watching the TV's, you know for information, well? Awesome outdoor with great settings, many themes to keep track of and attend. When it's really crowded, you will get served, but they may not know who's next, so say something. Keep an open mind and just enjoy what may cum your way!!!!!! In life, there's not one set of rules, sometimes they need to be broken. Maybe just wonder around to find what you like and most of all, ask to join in! You never know what might cum your way, but don't expect it.

I was greeted from a short blonde bouncer. She saw me pull the shooters out when she abruptly told me to empty my pockets for a pat down. I immediately told her I forgot I had those and I can throw them away before going in.... None of this mattered because the second she saw them she flipped out and told me I was banned for the night and she radio'd her entire staff to let them know what I looked like and that I was banned for the night. I was super kind with her - she was nothing but horribly rude without any consideration to me or my friends being there to enjoy the bar.

The beautiful flowers hanging from the ceiling gave the bar a unique, tropical vibe, and the artwork throughout the space was absolutely beautiful. The drinks were on point, well-made and delicious! The only downside was that they were supposed to have a Fourth of July barbecue, but I guess not enough people bought tickets because it didn't happen. That was a little disappointing. We ordered the nachos instead, and they took me right back to my childhood! They reminded me of those classic nachos you'd get from the neighborhood candy lady simple, cheesy, and so satisfying. Overall, the atmosphere, décor, music, and drinks made for a great experience. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Sacramento.

I have been especially impressed when I have ordered the bottomless mimosas because they always keep an eye out and fill up your glass as soon as they're able to. Hardly making me wait. The food is delicious. Some of our faves are: TJ's Potato Benny Hash Platter, the poached eggs and hollandaise sauce are perfection. Roscoe's Breakfast Burger is so good, especially with the over easy egg. Chicken & Waffle is good but I'm not a fan of combining them (gravy on top of it all) so I'd separate them if you're like me. Still so good. My fiancé loved the veggie scramble. Oh and we can't forget the fun decor! As they state in their website, the decor pays tribute to the artists and people from around the world who welcome diversity, equity, and inclusion...and there's no second guessing that! Great experience overall. Next time, we plan on going to a Sunday Drag Brunch!

The music is great, the mood is loose, and there's enough Motown in the air to make sitting still seem like a character defect. But the main reason I'm there every Monday is Lyndsay behind the bar. She is kind, thoughtful, caring, and remarkably attentive without ever making it seem like work. What I like most about Lyndsay is that she clearly gets genuine pleasure from helping other people have a good time. You can see it in the way she talks with people, remembers things, notices what someone needs, and seems genuinely happy when the people around her are happy. Plenty of people can pour a drink. Lyndsay makes you feel like you've come somewhere you belong. Motown gets me through the door. Lyndsay is why I'm there every Monday.
