Their bench seating makes me think of a biergaarten. I also really like that there's a hand wash station outside of the ones in the bathrooms as well. It is also very dog-friendly and our friends often bring their dogs with them when we sit outside. As this is a brewing company, let's start with their beer. I am always excited to come here as the Touchstone team are always trying out new and exciting combinations for their beer! Of course, this doesn't always mean good, but as a craft beer drinker the fun is trying something new-new--good or bad! I've also noticed that Touchstone is often doing a number of beer collaborations with other breweries which raises my excitement when thinking about going. Good beer needs good food, right? Well, so far everything we have tried at Touchstone has been pretty good. They have great intuition when it comes to flavor pairings and another thing I look forward to going here for! Highlights for me have been their Pepperoni focaccia pizza as well as their braised pork belly sandwich. Lastly, their staff is top-notch and incredibly hospitable. From recommending beer & food to providing samples of the beers before you make your decision. They seem to always be ready to offer rather than make you ask. We come here for their trivia nights which is always a lot of fun, but also competitive!

Wish I could speak to the food, but I didn't order anything (little late in the day for me to eat). But the menu looks hella interesting. I WILL speak about the service and beer selection. This place has a CRAZY good selection of brews considering its size. One of the best in the area actually. The bartender (Ming) is exactly what this kinda space needs: super personable, knowledgeable, supportive of the brand, and with a seriously interesting backstory. Dude plays for The Aquabats! Not afraid to talk to ppl, and understands the right balance between sharing his story and asking about yours. Unpretentious, comfortable in his skin, and clearly a good dude at heart. That's the kinda person you wanna support. Catch him on the weekends! I'll be back for more. I'm thinking there's a reason this place has a monster Yelp score...

Has some seating inside and huge patio dining outdoors too. You order inside get your beer or drink and head on out to a bench seating tables . Weather was great to sit outside . We got an order of meatballs to split , and I had the Fig truffle sandwich. It was very tasty and light refreshing . Had a great stout beer to go along with and wife had a pilsner beer that she enjoyed . Fam had gotten some tater tots and something else I can't remember but all in all cool spot to hang out and grab a bite to eat. Service was great too bringing the food out . They have water station as well to get waters which was nice . Would come back again to try more stuff . Enjoy !!!!

The Butterscotch Den in Oak Park fast became our go-to bar in Sac and is on the shortlist of places…read moreto go when friends or family come into the area. The Den embraces the 70s lounge feel and does it well! The decor with their dimly-lit, amber-hued lighting it makes for a great date night spot. Sidle up to the bar and the staff is incredibly kind and patient even on a busy night. At the bar top, the den has a daily drink cocktail special that has yet to fail me. They are also known for their freezer box martini's that you can also add a "bump" of caviar to for an additional $5 (I've done this before and it is indeed silly, but the briny burst from the caviar is an excellent addition to a gin martini. Do it!). I have not eaten dinner here beyond grabbing a couple of their hot dinner rolls with house made compote butter, but Butterscotch Den is also known for their communal grill-it-yourself experience. In the dining area there is a large grill to cook your protein of choice from the menu whether it be a steak, hot dog, or burger. More often than not when we go to Butterscotch Den, there are multiple people grilling their food. Overall, Butterscotch Den is a hidden gem in the Sacramento/East Sac area but we're doing our best to bring as many people there. Also note that usually during the Christmas holidays, BD does the Christmas Takeover with seasonal drinks.

We had reservations and were seated near the grill in the back room. I was surprised to find out that we had to season and grill our own steaks. There's plenty of seasoning and condiments near the grill so you have to season it up there. Then place your meat on the grill and flip it when it's ready. We ordered the 12 oz. rib eye ($43), steamed prawns ($14.50), and a baked potato ($7.50). The rib eye looked really good, but I would have preferred an expert to season the steak for me. I added salt and pepper, and some garlic powder. The flavor turned out nicely, but the crown on top was the additional compound butter and blue cheese sauce we added. The prawns were small shrimps. Not sure why I was picturing large jumbo sized prawns. They tasted fine in garlic butter. The loaded baked potato was delicious. The staff were nice to bring extra toppings when requested. For cocktail, I was leaning towards the strawberry negroni, but the waitress recommended the Cucumber Gimlet, which I ordered. To me, it was okay, mainly because I wasn't crazy about tasting cucumbers and it was not too strong. It was light and refreshing. Since it was a celebration, I had a slice of lemon cake from Freeport Bakery. They put a candle in it and brought out the bubble gun. They carried 2 types of Freeport Bakery cakes, and the lemon was really good. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great first dining experience at The Butterscotch Den.

I love the Ambiance because it is history here and I do love the locations where it is in the alleyway in Old Sacramento which is really amazing. . I usually get the menu items that they recommend like a French 75 to a margarita and pina colada and Mai Tai and more. They have really great quality drinks and the price is really reasonable like for example my French 75 was only $10. . They also serve food until 2:00 a.m. in the morning where usually places stop serving around 1:30 a.m. . I really like coming here to eat and have really great drinks and visit with friends too. Some of the food that we order is their burgers which is really legit and it comes with french fries. I also got some of their loaded fries which was really yummy.

You'll see people biking here (there's a bike parking area), bringing their dogs (the brewery provides dog treats and water bowls), and enjoying live music. There are several seating areas to choose from: * Outdoor covered seating near the food truck * Indoor seating with air conditioning * Outdoor covered seating by the live music * Additional outdoor seating close to the stage Restrooms: Two clean, well-maintained stalls with air conditioning. One of my favorite things is that you're welcome to bring your own picnic! They also offer a 15% discount for military members and first responders. Other nice touches include a phone charging station and plenty of outdoor games like cornhole, giant Connect Four, ping-pong, and bocce ball. I especially loved the cozy fire pits. For drinks, they have 24 taps plus wine, kombucha, cider, and hop water, so there's something for everyone. I really enjoyed the atmosphere: it's a great place where people gather to listen to live music, sip a beer, grab something from the food truck, or simply enjoy a picnic with friends and family. If you're looking for a fun, welcoming beer garden, I highly recommend this place!

I've stopped by this place a couple times for some late afternoon drinks, and it's a nice spot…read more It's located in the same building as Ginger Elizabeth, so parking isn't great, but you can find parking within a block or so of walking. There's metered parking in the street just in front. They have a nice selection of wines and cocktails. Not the most expansive list, but a nicely curated one. Most recently, I tried the Pimms Rangoon (Gin, Ro Pimm's, fresh lemon, ginger, pineapple, fizzy water) and a wine that I can't recall. The cheeze whiz (house made whipped manchego and parm on crostini) is a must-have. The bread is wonderful as well as the cheese and olive. I'm usually not crazy about green olives, but it worked so well with the cheese. I've had tinned sardines in the past, and they were fine... along the lines of a tin of Fishwife. Next time, I'll probably try another bread & cheese dish. I like the kitschy vibe. And, our servers were nice both times I've gone. If I lived a little closer, I'd probably drop by more often, but I'll keep this place in mind when I want a drink and a small snack to go with it (and dessert at Ginger Elizabeth is next door!).

Came here for our monthly meet up with the girls and not gonna lie this was a disappointment. I have wanted to try this place for so long and it was mid at best. They didn't have a kitchen when I went so their food offerings were extremely limited which I didn't know before coming. The ambiance was great. While the space was small it packed a great punch. I will say our server disappeared and she was very short when she was unavailable. I came, I saw, it's unlikely I'll return given the many options in Sacramento and the surrounding areas. Go for the experience if you choose On the plus side we ended up at the dive bar Golden Bear after for pizza nachos and beer and I have found my new favorite dive bar so I'll call that a win!
