The Good: Awesome venue for localish bands The Bad: The bad makes this place good so it works out The UGLY: realizing the Duran Duran over 50 cover band is kinda hot My first impression of this place was "damn this place is dirty" and then it was like a magical land because every weird item became part of the charm. For example, a rhino head. What the eff, is that real? It better not be. Yet it is there with its own pieces of "flare" there is also undergarments hanging from certain places. Yet all these eclectic items make this place that much cooler. First time I was here I saw Wooster from Santa Cruz and last time I saw the Duran Duran cover band. Cannot beat that. I also saw one of the greatest Beatboxers ever, fully decked out in vans and a hamburgler type shirt. Did not expect the noises to come out of that dudes mouth. All in all I really adore this place. When I go to Folsom and Scarlets is on the menu, I know I am down for a great night! Tip: usually $10 cover to get in read more

Somehow I managed to get through 4 years of college right down the freeway without checking out the Folsom bars. I'm slightly ashamed of that! I was introduced to Scarlet's last week on a random Wednesday night. My friends were regulars and the bartender was super nice and friendly to us. I'm usually a pint of beer kinda girl, but they didn't have a big tap selection, so my friends suggested I let the bartender concoct something for me. Sure, why not? He asked me if I liked Mt. Dew, and after replying yes, he grabbed a bottle of gin and went to work. I was presented with a shooter that truly tasted like Mt. Dew...out of gin...who knew?! Throughout the night we had drinks that tasted like Tang, Grape Big Chew, and some awesome pink/pineapple-y/fantasticness. While the inside of this place is not huge or impressive, the outside seating in front is cute, complete with space heaters when needed, and a decent view of Lake Natoma Inn down the hill, and quaint downtown Folsom around you. I'll definitely be back!! read more

We love this place! Big Rob's cigar lounge and the bar are fantastic. Great place to kick back and enjoy Folsom. Love Cleo too!

I enjoy going here a little early on a Saturday before the crowd arrives and ordering pizza from chicago fire on the cool pizza phone they have by the bar. It's fun to sit on the patio and people watch while we eat and drink. I go here at least once a month. read more

Scarlet is a pretty neat place to go people watching. On Fridays they have nude body paint in the patio. This usually causes a stir. There is no cover to get in but if you want to drink at PowerHouse, you have to pay cover to get in that bar. There isn't much place to sit down in Scarlet so plan on standing most of the night and please wear comfortable shoes. Age group range from 21-50. Most people dress pretty well and behave themselves at this bar. The decor is pretty eccentric and there is a big gong they hit sometimes that produces the super loud noise. there is a smaller bar outdoors. Good place to hang out for a little bit. read more

The bouncers here kick people out then jump them for no reason because they're looking for people to beat up. Don't come here if you want to have a good night without getting jumped. They literally think that they're invincible. But at some point, people will get tired of getting mugged by the bouncers here, and get this place shut down. That would be justice served. read more

If I could leave 0 review I would. This place is awful, the doorman and managers are low life's. If you are looking for a cool night this is not your place. We had friends that got jumped while leaving and the doorman didn't get off their phones . Go anywhere else read more

Always a great time!. My girls and I have had many a GNO here. Dance floor always packed, patrons usually cool, bathroom line ridiculous, but that's being a girl for ya. This is the only club that I always end up wasted beyond belief, but still manage to just keep on dancing and having the best time. read more

I would give this place a zero if possible. People become victims of being drugged all the time at bars which is why I don't really go out to bars that often and unfortunately, on Friday, June 7th 2019; I was one of those people who got drugged here at Scarlet's, and probably would have been taken advantage of if my friends hadn't been there. My friends saved my life that night. I was unable to walk, I was unable to speak, I lost all control of myself. The question will arise "well were you drunk?" No, I was not drunk. I was completely functional and was very aware that night up until that 4th drink which is when everything went black. I don't remember anything after I took those couple of sips. I am pretty sure it was a bartender that drugged me as well because I remember taking a sip of my drink AT the bar counter after the bartender had handed me my drink and that's when things got out of control and went black. I was robbed of my abilities, I was robbed of my consciousness and I was traumatized the next day because I was targeted. Please take this review seriously as I could have really gotten hurt or worse that night if I hadn't had people there to protect me and I don't want it happening to anyone else. People are sick. read more

We randomly stopped in for a drink before going home after a work dinner, but we ended up staying for four, five rounds of drinks. Such a fun place! Great vibe and good music to dance to. This is definitely a place I would hit up when I'm in Folsom again. read more

Kind of like a small club as the night goes on. Cocktail server girls come around too to take your order, always so friendly! If you don't want to go up to the bar for your drinks. Next door is powerhouse that you can walk right into if u want a calmer feel and they have live music. Also a hookah bar attached. Really unique cool place, I always have fun dancing the night away, listening to music, or just hanging out w my friends. read more

Scarlet's Saloon - Scarlett's at girls night out - Bars Near Me - Folsom, California

Used to come here every Friday and Saturday and sometimes even Sunday. We usually made it a point to stop by Friday or Saturday just because Omar was working those days.. he is THE best bartender. So nice, always smiling, and makes the best drinks. He always goes above and beyond no matter how packed it is. I love how it's connected to powerhouse so I could walk over and see which live bands were playing. read more

Bar hopping in Old Folsom for my friend's 21st birthday, and we stumbled onto this bar. The crowd was pretty mellow, which is nice. Good music. Big bar and nice bar tenders. They really let you know when it's last call. Outdoor seating. All in all a great little dive bar. read more

Great one last night! I arrived around 9pm and it was already crackin! They had multiple room one with a live band and a few with great dj's! Drinks weren't too much $$$ and the bartenders were great! Dancing was blast and I enjoyed the fact I could go outside to get away and there were heaters on the patio. They have a Hooka spot although I did use it at all. The band was great I loved listening to them play and Dj SugaBear killed it with the music!! I will be back for sure! read more

See all

This is my second time here for my best friend birthday and it's always a blast. Good music(live/DJ) and bartenders makes the drinks just the way you like them. I just love the atmosphere and everyone is super friendly. Definitely recommend this place to go out with your friends. read more

Scarlet's is incredible. I shot one of my first special events for my photography business there and the bartender was so sweet. Let us do anything we wanted. LOL I've been back several times. The shoot turned out fantastic, and the girls got awesome service. Thank you to all your employees for a great afternoon. I loved my chocolate raspberry martini! read more

I worked at the Sutter Street Saloon back in the days before it was stolen away from Kirby Jones, by Murray Weaver, who changed the name to the Powerhouse Pub after cleaning it up a bit. When Kirby's lease was up, Murray jacked the rent so high, Kirby had to quit the business. Which is what Murray wanted, because he tried for years to break the lease with Kirby so he could get his hands on the place. But, Kirby had an iron clad contract lease with Momma, the previous owner. I've dealt with Murray a few times as the bouncer at the front door of the Saloon taking money for the bands that played. Murray was always a jerk. Then, after he gained control of the place, he claims he started it all after Kirby had been there about 20 years. It broke Kirby's heart to lose his baby and he died about a year later. I went to the Pub's opening and once or twice after that. I will never go again. It's nothing but Intel geeks, douchebags, and yuppie kids that don't have a clue. Now, he's got this Scarlet thing going as an attachment to the Pub. It basically used to be the patio and back door to the Saloon. I guess Murray saw a way to expand and squeeze a few more nickels out the rubes after his fancy cigar bar in the front failed. LOL As to the bouncers, I can guarantee Weaver will have a lawsuit on his hands for negligence and assault at some point. Overly aggressive staff is not a good time. Someone getting shot out in front of the place is just plain bad news. Stuff like that never happened when I worked there or the many years before when I was just a patron. I never had to tackle anyone in the three years I worked the door. Bartenders with crappy attitudes, security people that watched Road House too many times, this is a b.s. place that attracts b.s. people. Watch your back and purse. read more

If I could give this place zero stars then I would. Super pissed that I was grossly overcharged. Even the pending bank statement was super upsetting to see but once it finally posted I was furious! This place is a freaking joke! If you want to risk your bartender overcharging you and pocketing YOUR hard earned cash then by all means go for it! This place is meant for you..... read more

Worst customer service ever. Would totally leave ZERO stars if possible. All the comments about security are spot on. Wish I had read these reviews prior to stopping in here. Save your time and money and skip Scarlet's. SO many better options within walking distance NOT going back read more

I love this bar! You have to try the specialty drink called the Blue Ball. Again, like the Pub - the age group here is mixed. No cover. So much fun to sit on the patio during the summer and people watch. Other than I lost a very nice leather jacket - this place is the bomb. Remember to drink and drive responsibly. read more

Great dance spot with super professional and friendly bar staff. Joel is always extremely professional and makes the best Margaritas and Irish Mules anywhere, while also making you feel welcome and happy to be there. In the last year or so they have added more DJ's so you can literally go from the live music in back at the Powerhouse, to an awesome DJ in the middle of the outside area with another bar, Hooka Bar and Cigar Bar with lounge area, then move around the corner to sit under heaters in the winter and another bar/ DJ/dance floor inside at the other end of the building. We have danced at all the best spots in Sac County and Scarlets is our fav date night spot. You can arrive early, have a few cigars and drinks from the best bartenders in town, then choose from multiple dance music styles. And...it's not cash only- we use our card at the bar every week. There is an atm machine if needed on the property. It's also a popular spot for locals and people from all the surrounding areas from all ages and backgrounds- which is a reflection of all they offer! And...right next door is the Livery with the best BBQ and prices in the area. Delicious hot links and ribs! You can order up your food and then bring your BBQ over to any of the seated areas at Scarlets and enjoy. I highly recommend! read more

Scarlet's used to be my favorite spot on the weekend. I was standing at the bar waiting to order a drink when the bartenders performed a drink on fire trick. I got hit in the face with the hot alcohol and got a pretty bad burn on my cheek. I met with the manager the next day before seeing a Doctor. Needless to say, my phone calls and emails were never returned. All I wanted was the $160 I had to pay to go to the Urgent Care, I don't have medical insurance....Obviously Scarlet's Saloon isn't concerned with treating their regular customers with kindness read more

The bartenders are rude!!! We went in with a party of over 25 people and 4 of us were designated drivers. Not only did they give us attitude for ordering water but they tried to charge us $5 each for tap water!!! Then at last call my girlfriend was in the bathroom drunk and I wanted to go check on her but the bouncer wouldn't let anyone back in that area. I tried to explain to him that she was wasted and might not be ok. I guess he thought I was scamming him because he wouldn't listen to me and he wouldn't go check. We made the best of it and had a good time anyways but we will never go here again! read more

My friends and I are over 21 and are from out of state but they didn't let anyone in with out of state IDs. The security guard was rude and proceeded to curse and was very unprofessional. Overpriced cover charge never coming back again read more

I really like Scarlets. They always play great music, the room is a cool space with a very generous outdoor deck area. I also like that you can walk through the front hall and go to The Powerhouse to check out whatever band they have playing. It's like getting two clubs for one cover! Two complaints: way too many people smoke out on the big ol' deck and therefore, smoke finds its way inside... and the DJ has been known to talk too much. Unfortunately, that is kind of typical with DJs - they forget that we are not there to see / hear them, but rather to dance and hear the music. I also like the fact that the crowd is really mixed - it's not all 20-somethings. This is my go-to place when I want to dance! read more

expensive , shitty bartenders , weak drinks . oh and let's not forget douchey . but i will say you will probably get quicker service at their bar than powerhouse's on a busy night . read more

They had a large sign in lights that said no cover charge. when we went in they stopped us and said $5 cover. I argued their sign is what drew us in. They said oh well we forgot to change the sign. I'm sorry but it is a principle thing with me. So we left. Not a good way to run a business. We usually drop a hundred bucks at a bar. Their loss! read more

Last weekend was the second time I went to Scarlett's. I was given a friendly welcome by all 3 bartenders and had just as fun as last time! Jordan made me one of the best drinks I've ever had. Can't wait to go back! If you do, ask for Jordan's bar (they have about 5 bars in the club) and get drinks from him for sure! read more

Best Mojitos! I got a cantalope one and my friend got a berry one. So delish!!!! The bartenders were cool too. Plus you also get admission to Powerhouse. read more

I love Scarlet's the one thing that kinda annoys me as of late is the fact that I've had to pay a cover charge the last couple of times I've gone. That kinda sucks. But I think this bar is pretty laid back and a fun atmosphere read more

Scarlets is another one of our favorite haunting grounds..we always end up on the patio people watching..we usually spend a bit on the inside and 90% of the time order a Pizza from Chicao Fire and have never been disapointed. We have never paid a cover, the service has always been adequate, and we have enjoyed dancing inside and out...we are always smashed by the time we arrive anyway, so waiting for a drink here and there gives us an oppourtunity to sober up anyway. read more

Great place to hang out bars are lined with cool bar-goers ,staff is great, it's like going to three bars in one. You have Scarlett's which is fun outdoor patio with indoor dance floor that plays Hip Hop and EDM, and a great bar Joel, Omar ,and Greg are awesome someone's always on the lookout to get you that next drink. You have the cigar bar lounge which also has hooka which I find very cool especially if your not doing a lot of drinking and you wanna chill and enjoy the scene and they have great outdoor seating as well.which brings me to Powerhouse pub connected to Scarlett's and the cigar lounge in some kind of amazing Trifecta great live bands ranging from country to cover bands and rock great atmosphere will definitely be coming back read more

I came here with a friend to meet up with a group of her friends. We were on the guest list, so no cover, which was awesome! The first waitress never came back with our drinks, but the second one that came by was very cool. We had a cute looking hut where we chilled at. After a while, we left across the street to this other bar, they call the hotel, but, came back to Scarlet's and danced a few dances before we left to this other place for the rest of the night. All and all, it was an alright place to be at. It was somewhat of a mixed crowd and pretty packed. read more

I've came here 5 times and each time it gets more LIT! The crowd is 21 and up, and it really is 21 and up, the attire is casual because it's a bar, hookah lounge, live band, club etc. bring cash they don't accept card, dress code is casual, Friday night and Saturday night are the best nights to come! I drive all the way from Sacramento to come hear these Djs! Best Dj, best crowd, and the security do whatever it takes to make sure we are safe and having a good time! Super friendly atmosphere, bartenders and security are mad coo, and best of all each song makes u want to drop it like it's hot, pop lock and drop it or shake it like a salt shaker! read more

I went here for my 1st time last weekend. It was a blast! The drinks aren't too pricy. Bartenders make sure you get your drinks! I will be returning!!!!! read more

Fun place to go and be with friends. Friday nights are a little slow with older music playing. Saturday nights are always fun and the dance floor is packed. Love all the outdoor seating. You can also walk through the hall and head over to the Power House Hub and check out the band playing and enjoy the cool decor they have going on. read more

This bar is attached to the Power House Pub in Folsom! This place is good for specialty drink made by great bartenders! Must see Omar or Joel! read more

A friend and I came here hoping to have a drink and a place to chill and talk on a Wednesday night. I was super surprised how busy (in a good way) the place was! A little lower key earlier in the night (9:30) but a lot of people trickled in over the next few hours. There was a live band playing in the back, and then beat blasting on the dance floor next to the bar. We spent time on the front patio, chilling with a view of the street. So a fun place if you want to hang with friends and maybe do a little bit of dancing. The only complaint is that the patio wasn't a bit quieter, I ended up having to yell towards the end of the night, so not the best if you're looking for a place to talk easily. read more

Great out door patio. The drinks are reasonable, especially in comparison to San Francisco. Omar behind the bar is the best bartender they have. Super nice guy and gets you your order fast. But sometimes the people there can get really annoying. Fair warning. read more

Great place to bring a bachelorette party! Nice staff, strong drinks, good location. read more
