    Bar and pool tables
    David L.

    I came here with some work friends. They said this place was supposed to have some great food. I decided to join them. The place is a bar on the corner of S and 24th Street. It's a small bar that servers food. There is a kitchen inside next to the bar. I think they call it Darian's. They take your order and you pay them there not at the bar. Most of the food is burger, chicken tenders, wings and tacos. I asked the cook what was the best item to get and he told me that his Western Burger was the best. So I ordered that. It came with a combo of fries and tater tots. The service seemed kind of slow but I guess it's just one guy cooking. It took over 20 minutes for our food to come. The burger was just ok. It was pretty big though. But nothing to write home about. My friend got the chicken tacos and he loved them. He eats a lot of tacos so that means a lot, from him. This place is a bar with a pool table. but I didn't drink that day. It was just bar food as I look at it. Nothing too note worthy except for the tacos.

    Had a coworker pick up lunch. These burgers are HUGE and tasty. I got the western bbq burger. I think the sauce is a bit much and too sweet do me. Buddy got the spicy avacado. Looks great and huge and definitely get your monies worth here.

    A gem of a local dive bar. This spot is awesome. I wish my neighborhood had a bar like this to just stop in and shoot the breeze with whoever is there. I came in on Thursday afternoon before a show next door. I had a couple drinks and hung out with a few locals that were having a stop off after work. The bartender was a cool guy that has been there for decades and had lots of stories to tell about the area.

    Nothing special ahhhh burger

    Heard people raving about the food nonstop specifically the burger. Tacos were good! Burger...? Carl's Jr at best. Thin patty. No skirt like they advertise. Bartender was kinda a dick too. Oh also the chicken wings tasted like back of the freezer junk. So idk what everyone talking about. ALSO it's dirty af in there. Takes 5 seconds to wipe a table. Try it sometime. Oh and $19??? For fries and a shit burger?? Crazy.

    Saw this all over social media so i took the wife on a saturday like 11 beers and burgers what better then too start it with .people super friendly good vibes orderd two cheeseburgers jus for a test run Took over a half hour to get food pretty sure we were 1st ones to order food came had like a half inch cheese skirt which was burnt opend up everything was burnt took few bites no flavor was so dissapointed

    Neon signs and trophies.

    If you're looking for a divey hangout, this place is for you! With neon signs and retro decor (and patrons), this place can be super fun with the right crowd. The drinks are basic and affordable and credit cards are accepted. The bartenders are patient and efficient. They do have a small kitchen that serves bar bites and lumpia! The price was a little steep and they charged extra to use Venmo. I don't think credit cards were an option for the kitchen. The lumpia was larger than normal, fried very well and very tasty! $14 for 10 does seem a bit steep for me though. Note: if you bring a large party like a pub crawl, make sure you call ahead to notify the staff.

    12 piece wing half buffalo half Thai chili

    This place is such a solid bar/late night food spot. We came in after seeing a bunch of social media posts about them. You go up to the doorway next to the bar to order. The loveliest lady took our order. FYI cash or Venmo only yall and they do have an atm inside. We got a spicy avocado burger with garlic fries and a 12 piece wing, half buffalo half Thai chili. Their buffalo sauce has garlic in it literally so bomb. The burger was FAT as hell overflowing with toppings and their ranch seemed homemade. I like to think I'm a ranch connoisseur and I would drink theirs happily. The bartender was really sweet guiding us to where we ordered. It gives mom and pop so be patient because you will be blessed with some fire food and even better service.

    Bbq bacon burger

    Absolutely amazing burger and fries! Portion size is huge and the flavor on point. Hands down one of the best I have experienced in Sacramento. The drinks are also strong and inexpensive. Good service also. This bar is now my go-to rather than the Merc.

    I came here specifically to try the turkey bacon club sandwich that I saw on Tik Tok, and the wings. The wings were really good, and they have a lot of different flavors to choose from. The sandwich I had mixed feelings about. The sandwich was huge, and had a lot of ingredients on it. Not much turkey, but was still huge. It was very greasy, and had a LOT of mayonnaise on it. It is definitely bar food. At first I really liked the sandwich. After a few bites into it, i started to get that UGH feeling, like I didn't want anymore. Me and my wife split the sandwich and the wings, and I did finish my half of the sandwich, but the last couple bites were hard to get down. There is no way I could have ate the whole sandwich, and not because I was full, it was just too much grease on the stomach. My wife felt the same way about the sandwich. Im glad that I came out and tried it for something different, and I would definitely come for the wings again, but honestly its not really the kind of place I would want to hang out in for very long, or even come back inside again, so unless I was in the area and was gonna grab some food to go, I probably wouldn't come back. All of their food looks amazing on Tik Tok, so I would definitely recommend coming and trying it out for yourself.

    To the locals and regulars that frequent "Round Corner Tavern", this is your no-frills "dive bar" that has withstood the test of time over the years. In my younger days when chugging down drinks was a more common occurrence, I usually found myself coming here on a bar/pub crawl or a spot where I walked in, knew what I wanted, and stayed for an hour, sometimes two, or even through the wee hours of the night. Located in the heart of Midtown Sacramento and at the corner of 24th and S St's, this place has retained much of its charm where not a lot has changed over the years. I came here on a whim and parked only a stones throw away from the main entrance. Inside you will notice a pool table and a fairly decent interior with barstools and regular tables & chairs. The bar itself has everything you need to get you going with several cheap beers on tap as well as all the regular hard liquors to choose from. Surprisingly, they have a fairly decent food selection specializing in all the comfort classics including wings, tacos, burgers, chicken tenders, a BLT, and deep-fried sides. Since I wasn't too hungry, I ended up enjoying an iced cold Pabst Blue Ribbon (on tap) for a very affordable $4.50 for a pint. One thing I particularly like with this place (as well as other dive bars such as "Old Tavern", "Benny's", etc.) is that you can enjoy a night out without breaking the bank. And please drink responsibly by getting a designated driver and/or taking rideshare. However, the service here leaves a lot to be desired. During my visit (which was the night of Saturday 7/20/2024 at around 9:30pm), there was only one bartender working the entire bar. He was helpful and poured my drink while the overall beer temperature was chilled perfectly. So if you're looking for a fancy place, this place ain't it. But if you prefer that true old-school gritty dive experience, "Round Corner" will have you covered. My rating, just an average three stars.

    So every once in a while,the wife and I like to go out and enjoy a cocktail or 2-living in…read moreNatomas,downtown is a short Uber ride both ways-so driving is not in play so we both can enjoy ourselves.When we do decide we are going to go downtown we usually either end our night of debauchery or begin it at this bar-B-Side on 14th and S street. This bar is truly a definition of a dive bar-dark lighting inside,they tend to play throwback music 100% of the time which is awesome-the bartenders here are always super friendly and always seem young-not always the most experienced bartenders you will run into but they always do their job with lots of enthusiasm and friendly demeanors-I think that's important. The drinks themselves are pretty inexpensive per todays Sacramento downtown standards,I think my old fashioned ran for either $10 or $11 which is pretty good and they are always solid-they make very solid get the job done keep the vibe going level drinks and at that price-that's a winning combination. My favorite part of this bar though for me is easy-it's the outside back patio.It features a few long tables and it's mostly frequented by someone either looking to smoke a cigarette or vape,I personally will go back there and light up a cigar and just enjoy the craziness that occurs back there.By craziness I just mean a lot of people socializing-laughing telling stories and getting along,u literally can strike up conversations with people you never met before just based on the fact that you know anybody who finds themselves in the back outside patio at B-Side knows what's up-nobody lands there on accident-it's a super chill spot with a never ending cast of unknowns who might sit next to you and just be prepared as your probably going to have the most random conversation you have ever had in your life. B-Side isn't a fancy bar or a place to go before a nice dinner-this place isn't for everyone,especially at my age,but if u are ever lucky enough to walk thru those doors be prepared to be transported to a time when all you ever wanted was a place you could kick back-have a cheap drink,maybe enjoy a smoke and just chat with people who don't have their noses buried in their ohones-a true throwback.

    I've been here several times and at first really liked coming here but with changes they've had…read moreit's become a less than favorable one. When I first started coming, they had a huge spacious outdoor space where you could sit and hang out at, smoke, drink, and play games at. But they had to close this area and it's now a parking lot, leaving a super small awkward and dark "outdoor space" that barely fits a group of people. The inside is dark and a little cramped but theres booth seating and bar space. I honestly like the look and feel of the inside. The drinks are decent and they have DJs on certain nights. My friends and I had a less than great experience once on a bar crawl when we weren't given great service and overcharged. Hopefully in the future things improve.

Also, no popcorn all over the floor like I remember from back then -- the whole place feels much more updated and polished now. They also do karaoke now, and apparently it's a pretty big deal. There seemed to be a lot of regulars who clearly have karaoke night circled on their calendars. I didn't sing, but my friend got up and did a Quiet Riot song... which felt appropriate considering we're all straight out of the '90s ourselves. There's also a lot more seating now -- tall tables and stools instead of the little round tables that looked left over from the 1970s. I don't know when I'll be back, but if another occasion comes up where old friends are getting together and this is the chosen spot, I'm definitely in.
