This is inside the casino We used to go here from time to…read moretime to get our dance cravings 10-12 yrs ago after dinner and before playing slots. This is the first time in a loonngg time that we decided to visit it one more time cause we know it's been renovated 7-8 yrs ago i think? We reserved a suite room and celebrated my and husband's birthday weekend. After dinner, we just had our pregame in our room to save $ on drinks before we headed to the lounge. The place was a lot better than the old one since it looks more spacious. It was not crowded for a Saturday night and that was really great. There's a few tables and seats downstairs but we preferred going upstairs and that's where we stayed. Only 2 of the 4 sofas/tables were occupied so that was really good. They play all kinds of music and I like the dj coz he knows what he's doing with mixing and playing good ones. However, the downside being upstairs is that noone or any of the staff will go there to ask for your order. You have to go down and get them yourself. Also, I noticed that they don't set rules for dress code anymore even though it says on the website. You see people with just shorts, shirts and sleepers and/or sandals on. So it was kind of a turn-off for me. They should require people dressed accordingly before they let them in. I don't mind to also pay an entrance fee ($10-15) This way they can preserve the place with class and elegance somehow. Just my thoughts.

Indeed, a beautiful place. Seating areas are first come first serve. There is a 2nd floor with…read moreseating as well but the walkway is pretty narrow. It's convenient that there is also a bathroom up there. Came here on a Saturday night. No IDs checked prior to entry. No cover fee. The place was packed! On their website, there was a dress code. When we got there, almost everyone is in normal clothing attire. We were unaware that you could literally wear anything! If you are in a group, even if you are not going to drink or get a drink, the bartender will literally deny your group purchase of alcohol if everyone do not show their ID. You'd literally have to step away from your group, just so they can buy their drinks. Find this really interesting. The music was nice at the beginning of the night but at the end of the night, mainly EDM.

Lost Shaker Bar and Grill has that classic neighborhood bar feel but updated in a way that makes it feel fun, clean, and welcoming. The atmosphere was great, the staff was friendly, and there was always something going on. I loved that they have karaoke nights and DJs, which makes it a fun spot whether you're just grabbing drinks with friends or looking for a night out. The music and lighting gave it a really good energy without losing the hometown feel. I didn't even see a drink menu, but the bartender made me a custom gin drink with elderflower and it was delicious. You can tell they know what they're doing behind the bar and are happy to make something personalized. You can really tell the new owners put effort into refreshing the place while respecting the history behind it. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Lincoln and want a local spot with good vibes, entertainment, and a laid-back crowd. I'll definitely be back to try the food .

Inside was regular nice cozy bar with full stocked bar and many drink options. I chose patron silver can't go wrong. I initially came here for the food, so here we go, it was surprisingly very good. I got the tacos; both chicken and carne asada but for me the asada was bomb! Very delicious! And great $2.99 price. My kid got the potstickers and although basic, they tasted great! Will I come back? If I'm in the area? Yea, I'd come for a shot of patron and that carne asada taco for sure. Menu options were decent. Service was ok. Overall, great place with potential to be better.

15th May, 2026, Norah Jones concert…read more It's a very nice *venue* for a Norah Jones concert, not too big but not too small, either. Her voice reverberated perfectly, her skills on the piano and guitars were exceptionally impressive, her band had good chemistry with her. For a packed arena, the climate was just right. The cocktails we bought inside need a little work, the staff members we encountered were all friendly, polite, respectful and friendly. The only problem we had, we as in us and the people nearby, was this two women who probably only knew and appreciated a few of Ms. Jones' songs. They were talkative and loud about it, if they didn't know the song that was being sung, they talked yelling at one another, went to their smartphones to check on whatever it was that was more important than the show, and was just lacking in the event's etiquette. There was a lady in front of them that looked behind her a few times and I can tell by her face that she was clearly annoyed. Along came staff and nicely told the ladies to be more respectful to the other people. I give the staff thumbs up for this because the two could have been escorted out without warning. I noticed that there were no restrooms nearby. The closest ones are in the lobby. It'd be too far for less mobile people. The restrooms were immaculately clean. I liked the overall experience and I believe that if there's another performer we'd like to see, we wouldn't hesitate to be there.

Nice indoor concert venue and there isn't really a bad seat even up at the second level or balcony. Seated at floor level section 101 so I had a cool close view of the stage and performers. Audio at this Freestyle concert was a bit off as they had the bass cranked up at a high level. I understand they want the audience to feel the bass but it was just too high. Compared to the Janet Jackson concert, her sound manager did a great job. Still it was a fun concert with several performers. Sweet Sensation (Betty Dee solo) Lisette Melendez George Lamond Cynthia Johnny O Lisa Lisa Stevie B I was very disappointed Will To Power was a scratch booooo There were plenty of staff guiding guests to seat locations as well as security to keep me in check LMAO j/k Cost for alcoholic drinks was standard. The bartenders were pretty cool played along with the jokes haha A couple of ladies seating next to me were cool too, yelling hella loud, dancing and good conversations (filthier minds than me hahaha). Then after the concert hungout at the casino for a lil bit played slot machines and at blackjack table. Until the next concert.

Alcoholic drinks are strong, so buy some food.

Continue learning on each visit how special the people of the Town of Loomis make their town. The karaoke, the singing, dancing, and people watching make this a spot to visit especially on the weekends. Individuals come to the local watering hole following weddings, dinners, sporting events, etc. which makes this an excellent place for "people watching" and meeting others. Overall the service is quick and friendly for nonalcoholic and alcohol beverages even when not sitting at the bar. The door guy and the bartenders do not mind the conversation and encourage positive energy even when need a moment to sit in silence to watch the world go by.

Sadly she never introduced herself so I can't give her the kudos she deserves. Started out with warm bread and garlicky soft butter. They serve it with the knife stabbed through the center of the bread - by the time you pull the big knife out, there is not much center left to spread the butter on. I figured out how to slather it in butter anyways. The garlic butter is something I could eat on everything! Dinner: We arrived around 6pm on a Wednesday. There were plenty of people there, but we were able to be seated right away. We ordered the pollo piccata - it was delicious, the sauce was creamy, the perfect amount of lemony, and the capers weren't too salty. The creamy potatoes were great and the veggies cooked perfectly. The balsamic ribeye - eh not our thing. Mid at best for us. It was tender, but it had so much liquid it didn't have much flavor and tasted like it was boiled. Still giving 5 stars overall because maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. Dessert: Chocolate lava cake - ours was extinct. There was NO LAVA! Just a very dense very chocolaty cake. Did I still eat it?? Yes!! Chocolate is chocolate. But if you are going to say lava I expect some lava! Drink: Josh Cab, always a hit. Strawberry Minefield (I think) dangerous! It tasted like a melted sorbet in the best way possible. I need a bottle of that stuff. Will we be back? 100% Next time we will try the lasagna

The crowd tends to range from 20s to even 50s, which I like, I like a diverse crowd to look at when I'm drinking and having a good time. Drinks are pretty cheap, about 6 bucks for a cocktail. Get a room at the hotel if you get too tossed as the rooms are pretty sweet for being in middle of nowhere in Placer county... you can close your eyes while the room is spinning from the alcohol and imagine you're in Vegas.
