Came here for the first time with some friends to watch the USA vs Australia World Cup qualifying game this year. We all sat at the bar and had a beer or two, and ordered food. My buddy got a burger and fries, and my other friend and I each ordered wings; him Buffalo and BBQ for myself. Everything was decently priced, and the wings and beers were good as well. read more

I truly hope the owners see this review. My wife and I have visited Stingers several times and have always felt comfortable and welcomed. Unfortunately, our experience today, Sunday the 23rd, was very different. There was a young red-haired bartender working who, from the moment we arrived until we left, never acknowledged or assisted us. At one point, my wife went directly to the bar and waited for quite some time before returning to our table and saying, "I don't think we're going to be able to get any drinks." Thankfully, Melanie completely turned our experience around. Her customer service was exceptional. She not only made sure we were taken care of, but I watched her handle a full bar while also assisting other tables. She was attentive, professional, and welcoming, and she deserves recognition for the way she handled everything. What was especially disappointing was seeing the young red head employee repeatedly pass by us without even saying hello or attempting to assist us. I sincerely hope there was no underlying reason for the difference in how we were treated. As a Black couple, it is difficult not to question whether race played a role when we were so noticeably ignored. I am not making that accusation lightly, but I do believe management should be aware of how the experience came across to us. Thank you again to Melanie for saving the day and making us feel welcomed. She is the reason our visit ended on a positive note. Without Melanie, we definitely would not return. read more

While visiting Sacramento for the holidays, I had to stop at my old hangout stairs. Not too much has changed inside in the few years that I have been gone. I love most things on their menu and decided to go with the dozen buffalo wings. They did not disappoint. The wings are still served with a delicious blue cheese sauce as an option to ranch dressing. I still was able to enjoy stiff drinks, and the usual lunchtime regulars. The wings were so good that I was down to the last wing before I remembered I needed to take a picture to show how good they really are but failed except for the last wing! You need to try them out yourself. read more

Stingers - Buffalo wings requested extra crispy! - Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

This bar has been a neighborhood staple and long-standing watering hole for the College Green residence and Sac State students for years. I return to this establishment for great atmosphere and good drinks, and an occasional game of pool. During my recent visits. One staff member worth mentioning was friendly, attentive to me, my guests and to all her customers. Hunter is her name and she is an awesome person to have as your bartender. She's friendly, fun, and personable and does NOT discriminate towards any customer she serves. read more

Amazing service young red head was so attentive and Chris made me my favorite drink without complaint was wonderful

08/02/26 at 1:20 I ordered a drink from the person bartending , she was extremely dismissive I wanted water so she gave it the first time after like 15 mins because I had make her come to me and even after asking she took like 7 mins idk im not petty I come here at least 3-4x a week I hope to continue so hopefully the owner has the word a with the young lady . I was noting but extra polite off the rip and still tipped more than my drink costed because I genuinely like this place but the woman working bartender during 08/02/26 should honestly not be a bartender . Very bad for businesses i just know not to come during her specific shift read more

Went here to celebrate with some friends and the service was great! We came in with a large group and they were very welcoming, efficient, and kind. read more

This was my first visit to Stingers. It took place on a Friday, at about lunchtime. I ordered a chicken sandwich and a beer. In terms of service, I'll say it was "acceptable under the circumstances". I won't speculate if it was a scheduling issue or a worker availability issue, but there was only one person to take care of the bar and all of the tables in the restaurant. They tried their best. The sandwich wasn't too fancy, but it was constructed well and tasted good. I don't think Stingers is a destination, in itself. I suspect it's just a nice neighborhood bar and grill which caters to a regular cast of characters. In general, it is neat and clean. It has the typical features: large screen TVs, neon signs, pool tables--and a shuffleboard table. And if you wanted something to eat while watching sports, the food is better than just okay. read more

The food here is not your typical bar food. We were so pleasantly surprised by how good the food is! It's delicious and the service is the best! read more

This is the BEST sports bar we've been to in years. As Bears fans it's hard to find a bar that gets the right game on the right tv for us. This place looked at our gear, changed the game in front of us and kept the drinks and food coming. Great space, tons of tv's, delicious food, PERFECT BLOODY MARY's, clean bathrooms. We wish we were locals and could come back. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Especially for locals. read more

Food is always consistent. Haven't had anything I didn't like. Only downside is sometimes the parking lot gets packed. read more

Wanted to like this but was so disappointed. Fries were refried definitely more than one time...could barely tell they were potato! Sandwiches were underwhelming. Sorry read more

Love this place. The staff is always friendly and the wings are delicious. They have two pool tables as well.

Best potato skins in town. I couldn't even finish one order. They are thick and stuffed with bacon and cheese. The staff is super friendly, and a great place to watch your favorite sports teams. I will be trying other items on there menu. Enjoy read more

Chris the bartender was so accommodating. I'm new to sac and he was so kind and made me feel so safe and comfortable. If you're looking for a fun, chill vibe this is the place. read more

Great service, my guy Chris came through with an amazing jager bomb aka dozer. Definitely coming back next time I'm up in Sacramento. @Trisha i don't think your comment was realistic, we all get a little too drunk and forget what we order. Saying someone gaslights you is completely false. Alcohol messes up our memory once and while. Definitely come check out this awesome spot. Great vibes and a great atmosphere, pool table and tvs made a great ambiance! read more

The bartender here, Chris, likes to add drinks to your tab that you did not buy! He likes to gaslight women and tell them they don't remember how much they had to drink as that is his way of bringing in more money for this dump! Totally rude dude and I have heard other complaints that he has done the same to other people! WILL NOT visit this terrible bar again! Such a bad experience.. stay away unless you like to be gaslit by an arrogant bartender! NO STARS! Yelp needs to add negative stars! HD to add one star but please note it's a negative star! read more

Chris was an absolute PLEASURE. He made me feel welcome as soon as I came in the door. Between the great conversation and drinks, I'm definitely coming back. A calm and relaxing night in the bar to decompress after a long day. Thank you, Chris ! read more

They have really good coffee, the service was also great... I will be back in the near future to have a meal since I only stoped by to check it out. read more

It's been a while since I've been there, but hopfully they don't have this bartender anymore. Ironically before I went, I saw a bad review on her but didn't think much about it because I've had good experiences there before. Anyway, when I went in for a drink I had the SAME experience as the earlier woman that posted! I walked in, the bartender was talking to someone else. No, "hi," nothing. I ordered a beer, she sets it down and STILL says nothing. Who in the hell hires these people! read more

Oh i was NOT expecting that. This was a total surprise! LOCATION: Typical dive bar location. On the corner of the tiniest outlet with all of 12 (rough guestimate) shared parkings spaces, but there's street parking available. DECOR: Again. The typical dark bar with blacked out it tinted windows, a few games and table seating. The outdoor patio looked a bit better, but it was at night and there were a few people out there. DRINKS: It was Wednesday, and there were $5 Mai Thais and MY DAMN!! They were tryna make me pass out on the first cup. These were $5 tip per cup kind of drinks. In other words, they were the best! FOOD: Also because it was Wednesday, the was a guy grilling outside the front door and it smelled amazing. Everything in the menu was to die for. I ordered the half chicken and my Lexie ordered the new York steak. They came with corn bread, beans and your choice of corn or baked potato. I had corn and kefir had the potato. Now, the bartender warned me about the chicken saying that it was more like half a turkey and when I say this was the biggest half chicken i had ever seen i mean IT WAS THE BIGGEST FREAKING HAD CHICKEN I HAD EVER SEEN!! It took me 5 days to eat that monster. Abs it was good everyday. PRICE: Did I mention the $5 Mai Thais? The price for the chicken was $14 and the steak was $16 STAFF: The bartender was cool as hell. Informative and funny. I think she was pregnant. The guy barbecuing was pretty cool also. EXPERIENCE: I went in here with my friend Lexie here pretty much lives here. I want impressed at first. Then I sat down at the bar and heard the drink and food specials. Then, I tasted that first Mai Thai and it was all uphill From there! read more

No vegetarian options anymore. They must have taken it off the menu. If you're vegetarian or vegan, look elsewhere. otherwise it's a fine place. read more

Everytime I walk into this place i feel like family. Chris and Gio are always so welcoming.

Would give zero stars if I could. Walked in after a ride on the trail looking to get a cold beer and my boyfriend and I were met with the worst customer service we have experienced in years. It was not very busy and we were not greeted for well over 5 minutes despite the workers walking past us numerous times. All the workers seemed to be in a terrible mood and even the other bar guests looked pissed off. Ended up leaving with nothing. read more

The food here is really good. The cook even came out while preparing to ask about options we wanted. She was very friendly and nice. However, it was not easy to get our drinks. The bartender was too busy visiting with her friends at the bar to wait on us. When we finally got her attention, she seemed annoyed to be bothered by us. We had just moved to a new home very close and were hoping to make this a regular stop. Sadly, after the horrible bar service, we have not been back. read more

Dive bar with an older crowd while the sun is up and a college bar at night. Perfect mix. Good food, drinks and bartenders. As local and neighborhood as you get. Get the lumpia!!! read more

Best place to grab some grub and have a few drinks when it's "late in the evening" best bourbon in town, hands down. Eric was kind in his serving up the drinks and conversation. We aren't the bar types but we needed to get out of the house for a while and I had been in Stingers with friends in the past. Always a good time. read more

Nice vibe - this is a local's joint in the middle of student housing. No kids when I was in there on a week night. It's a laid back bar and grill - the usual pool table, games, indoor/outdoor seating. The menu is good for bar food - I had the huge shrimp quesadilla. Probably have the carne asada next time. Friendly staff, laid back atmosphere, good service, there's a few good beers on tap, and decent prices. read more

Amazing food! Drove from Rocklin to this place so my friend visiting from Jamaica can taste the wings. We ordered a bunch of flavors: Buffalo, lemon pepper and barbecue wings; with 1 sides of garlic and regular fires. The one order of fries are ginormous and can easily feed 3 people. We had lots of leftovers to take home. Extremely happy customer. My new favorite wing place. read more

Super friendly place! The bartenders are fun and attentive and the food is always tasty. A definite step above bar food! Kind of a sporty place with working people during the day, turning to a younger campus crowd at night. A friendly crowd and as a gay guy, can say I have been welcomed and treated very well. read more

Rude staff! College Dive bar! Our group would have spent a lot of money at Stingers if it weren't for being so unaccommodating to our group! We left and took our group gathering to a much nicer place! Try The Alibi on Munro, much classier staff and clientele! read more

We have come here a few times and I wanted to mention how much we appreciated the attentive service that Eric, the bartender has given us.He served us water with our cocktails & kept refilling the glasses. He gave us SEVERAL napkins with our food (without having to ask) & engaged in friendly chats. We enjoyed his pleasant personality. Thanks for taking care of us. This is an older crowd in the early evening becoming younger as the evening progresses.Comfortable dive bar. Yummy food. read more
