This is without a doubt one of the most friendly dive bars I've ever been to. I don't think I've ever had a bad time there, everyone there seems so friendly whether it's Saturday afternoon or Thursday night, I don't know how anyone who has given this place a bad review could do so, I suppose if the stars aligned correctly even a fun bar can be scary period I have heard that the regulars can be a bit aggressive towards female clientele, not really sure how they can fix this problem but I I haven't experienced it myself. read more

Great dive bar right in downtown (old town) Folsom. Pretty standard shotgun style with a long bar and some other high top large tables on the opposite side. Friendly bartender served us from the bar. There is a jukebox at the far end. Everyone was having a good time on a Saturday night. read more

Yesterday, my friends and I went into this bar and wanted to order some drinks. I called the bartender to get his attention, but he looked at me and walked right past me. I tried a second time, and once again he looked at me but chose to serve other customers instead. I found his behavior to be racist, rude, and unprofessional. A bartender should be friendly, respectful, and attentive to all customers. The person I am referring to is approximately 6'1", has a dark complexion, a mustache, and was wearing a white cap and a sports shirt. The manager or owner of this establishment should be more careful when choosing their employees and consider the kind of service they provide to customers. We were not the only ones who had this experience--several other people have experienced the same kind of treatment. read more

My friends and I visited Sutter Sports Club to celebrate one of our friends going away for college. We had a wonderful evening, and up until the end of the night, our experience was positive. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and the service had been great. Near the end of the evening, my friend and I stepped outside for some fresh air. At the time, there were still approximately 20 minutes before the posted 2:00 a.m. closing time. A few moments later, my friend called to tell me that a male employee was refusing to let her back inside and was being unnecessarily hostile. When I walked over, I witnessed another woman politely asking if she could re-enter to use the restroom. Rather than responding professionally, the employee physically pushed her away from the entrance. I then calmly explained that I simply needed to go inside to get my boyfriend and the rest of our group so we could leave together. The employee stated that the establishment was already closed, despite there still being time before the posted closing hour. As I tried to explain the situation, the employee forcefully pushed as a woman, instead of communicating with me respectfully. I stepped back and noticed the door was still unlocked. When I opened it to once again explain that I was only trying to gather my friends, the employee ignored what I was saying and slammed the door shut on my fingers. What upset me most was not just the physical contact, but the complete lack of professionalism and basic respect. I have visited Sutter Sports Club several times over the years and have never experienced anything remotely like this. One negative interaction was enough to overshadow what had otherwise been a memorable night celebrating an important milestone with friends. I sincerely hope management takes this incident seriously and reviews how customers are treated during closing. No guest should leave feeling disrespected or unsafe simply for trying to reunite with their group before leaving. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I will not be returning, and I feel it's important to share what happened so others are aware. read more

Cold beer, good music nothing much to it. Was there passing through one of the few bars that were open. besides the bartender there were no additional servers read more

One star- unprofessional, rude, and disturbing I had an incredibly upsetting experience at this bar due to the bartender's unacceptable behavior. He was rude, dismissive, and very unhelpful. When I politely asked him a question--trying to locate my woman friend who had been there earlier and had suddenly gone missing--the bartender completely ignored me. When the customer repeated himself, clearly concerned, the bartender snapped, "I can't hear you--and actually, you can leave." Then walks away and rolls his eyes. Absolutely a question of character for an owner/bartender working at a sports bar? Can't help out a local or a woman that is clearly in need? Instead of showing even a basic level of empathy or professionalism, he treated the situation like an inconvenience and clearly didn't care. His dismissive attitude, especially in a moment when someone was clearly worried about a friend, was disturbing. read more

Went here after lunch with my sisters and their husbands--my husband was working that day. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable. The "regulars" were noticeably aggressive, especially when you're not accompanied by a man, which felt unsettling. I also felt a bit off after having a drink there, and the overall vibe of the place was weird. Based on my experience, I wouldn't go back to this spot. read more

Came here the other night with a friend, and had a pretty good experience. We (or at least I) couldn't believe how busy it was for a Wednesday night. "How are there so many people out on a Wednesday?" "Nobody goes to work anymore." I had two cranberry and vodkas, and honestly do not remember what he had. My drinks must have been good, because it's now Friday afternoon, and I'm still slightly reeling from Wednesday. There was only one bartender, but he seemed to be doing a pretty decent job keeping up with the crowd. I'm not sure if it's just because I haven't been out enough lately, but I was really impressed with the vibe and the ambiance. Everyone there seemed really chill. It was a bit loud, but not nearly as loud as somewhere like Scarlett's down the street. We were both pretty sure that there used to be pool tables here, but noticed that they were gone now. Overall good spot to grab a drink late at night on Sutter Street. read more

This place was great! They had A/C, the bar tenders got our drinks out quickly and there was plenty of seating for our group. It's definitely giving more dive bar vibes vs. club vibes, but no complaints since it wasn't a hot box in there. read more

Beyond rude! Horrible customer service. If you are not local they 100% ignore you and don't care. Not ever a cool great bar. It is substandard! We ended up going to the Powerhouse and they are awesome and what a cool experience. It's like 5 bars in one with a different experience in each. read more

The ABSOLUTE, MOST RUDEST, and most unprofessional "worker" checking Id's in front of this so-called "establishment," SHOULD not be employed, GREETING guests!! This bar needs to review their customer service policy. Obtain a lot of ethical training and most importantly, find some inner peace within, because working tonight, checking ID's was beyond rude and unfriendly, not to mention, unprofessional. I wish I could give this review 0 stars. So disappointing. read more

Excellent vibes, service & prices! The crowd was fun and there was no ego. I would highly recommend of you are looking for a cool place to watch a game with a cool vibe. read more

been coming to sutter club for years one of my fav dive bars i always feel safe and wanted kevin the bartender is amazing keep him around

Interesting experience here. People are able to choose the music played on the speakers and every song was blasted loudly. The songs were always a variety of genre, however, When a Hispanic song came on (Despacito) which is widely known, the bartended decided to turn that specific song down very low... when the next rock song came on, she proceeded to turn it alllll the way back up loud again. Just didn't sit right with me. Had to leave. read more

I really like this place but wish it wasn't so damn noisy everytime I'm there. The locals are friendly. My real only complaint is I just wish they would ad a second onto to pour count. Did a 3 second pour for a double in a tall glass read more

I feel like they discriminated against my friend she is Mexican and bartender would not let her take her coffee in or let me take in my water in? I am very upset and disappointed with this bar, and also the bartenders and staff were not wearing mask and there was no sanitizers near by. read more

We like how they continue to update the inside. We like that people inside are friendly. It is always cold on a hot day (thank you for understanding that air conditioning is important) and the drinks service are good (except one bartender, who others have already called out). I recommend this place but if you walk in and your instincts tell you this male bartender is not paying attention to you, leave. read more

Cool little bar on Sutter St in old Folsom. Not super big, but does have a coin operated pool table and plenty of seating. The drinks are strong and well priced. One thing I liked, and this is weird I know, is that they have three bathrooms. Meaning - hardly any lines for the little girls room - I gave 3 stars because it's a cool little joint but not sure I'd stay here all night. read more

Walked passed this place Sunday evening around 9pm. Door wide open. No one was eating. Large crowds drinking, no masks, no social distancing. Has not honored or respected county safety policies as other establishments have on sutter street. read more

Yeah, it's a trashy bar.. but it's OUR trashy bar . Drinks are cheap, most people are reasonable, and the vibe is usually fun.

I have been coming here for over a year now and it is my favorite bar. Unfortunately I consistently am the recipient of alot of prejudice from the skinny bartender Ashley and it needs to be addressed. Probably wont amount to any change but I hope that maybe there are some owners who actually care about their bar and will see this and look into it. She uses her position to refuse drinks and people, Ive seen her do it to other customers not even letting them drink. Look at the other one star reviews. This has been going on. good vibes at this bar besides the judgmental prejudice from Ashley and her hillariously pitiful gang of friends that collectively slander and throw shade together. The prejudice, that stink is taking it down to a 1 star. The place is 5 stars though, ambience, lighting, sound, the service is 1 star, and really its only skinny Ashley that has treated me this way. The other bartenders are nice. Come here if you wanna have fun, but dont be surprised if you randomly get treated different for not being in your late 40s and white. Dont forget to dance, haters hate seeing you enjoy yourself too much lmao. Ps. One last thing, Ive been getting this prejudice from her for going on a year now but what made me write this review is that I tip 40 percent every other drink, last night I had two glasses of wine, was standing by the speaker literally just looking around and she walks up to me im not next to the bar, and tells me that will be my last glass because "my eyes are going this way and that way." After tipping her she said this, and it was 12:30. Ashley if you read this, and I hope you do, please realize your being very unkind towards me for no reason at all. I look forward to bringing my energy here when you hopefully are not working. read more

Classic local sports bar. Enjoy the vibe. Cold beer on tap. Great pours. Bartender Ashley was excellent. Lots of TVs. Can't wait for COVID19 to be "over". Glad they're open during COVID19. read more

Cold beer in a friendly (if a bit divey) place. I have dropped by here a few times during the afternoon and a few nights. I always have a pretty good time. Decent beer selection and they know how to make a drink. The bloody marys are especially tasty. It's not a shiny club for sure. It is a little hole in the wall that is cool to hang at and play pool or perhaps dice. If this is what you are looking for it is good to go! read more

It's an ok dive bar. Drinks aren't super strong, and they play a ton of country music=/ It is near our favorite Chinese food place and they have pool..so that is a huge plus. read more

There's a lot that like with this dive bar gem, but not the Old Fashioned. Yes, it's made with good Makers Mark, but somehow disappoints. The vibe and jukebox are outstanding. The crowd seems to be locals and regulars in an otherwise tourist zone. Lots of TVs, lots of sports. Had a good time. read more

After dinner and drinks across the street, we came over here for a nightcap. My friend had to use the restroom as soon as we got here. I sat at the bar and an older bald dude asked for my order. Since my friend was in the restroom and I was getting this round I decided to wait for her and asked for "Just water for now." Bartender immediately became very angry and scolded me for "coming in here after getting drunk everywhere else and all you want is water." Way to jump to conclusions bud. I took a breath and with a smile I tell him "You're actually our second stop of the night, my girls in the restroom. I was about to order a round and tip you but never mind. Just the waters please." At this point my friend emerged from the bathroom and he just yells "Get out!!!! You're both drunk!!" What a drama queen!! We ended up going back to Sam Horne's and getting 2 more rounds there. read more

Diver bar, yes, I got it. We decided to drop in after a few drinks at the Folsom Hotel. We walked in and immediately got mad dogged by the horrid thing behind the bar - WTF? The bar was lined with that group of totally in the bag, hope they are not driving, have not had a shower yet types - but hey that is OK, it could be me on any given day. I just can not stand the bar dice thing when they feel they have to slam the frigging cup down on the bar so hard it rattles your teeth. Bottom line was it cost them business, so out the door we went. They could at least try to do something with the men's bathroom also, it is disgusting and reeks. read more

Yes it is a dive bar, and yes this is what a dive bar should be. Lets not try to turn it into Zocolo or Crush. Have to disagree with the ladies. . . the standout is a sunday Bloody Mary. Spicy, loaded with vege's and the piece de resistance (if there is such a thing in a bloody) is the salty sweet pickled green bean! Perfect hangover recipe. read more

Lots of TV's for football season. tHey also have a pool table! Great selection of beers on tap & full bar! The bartender was very nice! The only down side is they don't have food. read more

Sutter Club - Bloody Mary - Sports Bars Near Me - Folsom, California

This place is insanely packed, very small, and very loud. You cannot hold a conversation with anyone so that kind of sucks. However their bar is awesome to sit at... you kind of feel like a bad ass. Now in all fairness I never give low stars to a place based on the company they keep... because many of those at the sutter club are... not cool. But my rating is a representation about how I feel about the place when there is less crowding and more ability to speak with your friends. I also hate their jukebox, people can pay extra money to leap frog your song. Once my song was skipped 8 times in a row... i decided I'm out of here. HOW DARE YOU SKIP QUEEN AND PLAY NIKI MINAJ!!! HOW DARE YOU!! THE VERDICT: This is a nice place when it is less busy and you can converse with your friends. That does not always happen so that is kind of sad. Try it out, but this isn't a GO TO place for me, its a sampler place. oh and one more thing... DONT YOU EVER SKIP QUEEN AGAIN! read more

C'mon it's a dive? They charge the extra dollar for charges to debit less than $10. Sheesh. A couple ok beers on tap, nothing special. A friend was trying to teach me to play liars dice and the old guy at the end of the bar wanted to play with us, we got him a set of dice.... then he was asking how much we were playing for... uh buddy we play for fun. No money. The bathrooms are pretty trashy, out of soap... typical bar. read more

The Sutter Club is a piece of Folsom history. My grandfather, Norbert J. "Abe" Relvas, opened the Sutter Club on Sutter Street in Folsom in 1936, and owned the Sutter Gaslight Theater which opened in 1961. This is the bar the locals can hang out and actually talk to each other and be a part of the community. The original bar is still in the club and you get the feel of the old days. read more

I'll be the first to admit I don't go to a lot of bars, so maybe I'm not used to the demeanor of bartenders. But I couldn't even believe how rude the bartender at this place was last night. Didn't bother getting his name, all I remember was he was fairly short, had a beard and wore a baseball cap. I can understand being tired, maybe not wanting to socialize, I get it. He was irritated from the moment I approached him and asked for a drink, then I came back a short time later and asked him politely for a bag of chips and he completely ignored me. And when I say completely ignored me, I'm not kidding. Literally, turned around and walked away. I hate to leave such a low-rated review based off of one bartender but it's definitely well deserved. read more

The bouncer here a bald, short, chubby looking dude has got to be the rudest individual in this entire establishment. I've been here several times to play pool and have a couple drinks and each time I've gone there is a different bouncer who wears a knee brace and is very welcoming and friendly. But tonight with this different bouncer I'm shocked at how rude he was. At one point a guy accidentally took "his stool" while he was outside and he came up to me to push me off of mine accusing me of taking his seat. What kind of grown man pushes a girl off a seat? I hadn't even got my drink yet... So needless to say he drove us out with his poor attitude. His behavior was unreal especially considering I didn't take his seat. Ladies beware! This place is definitely not the bar u wanna be at with your girls. If the bouncer isn't wearing a knee brace keep walking baby girl. read more

Quality of Service: Excellent Drink of Choice: Blue Moon Environment: Loud, Dive Bar, Okay, so what makes this place so great? The Bartender. Most bars I've been too, its serve you, multi-task, and serve someone else. This bartender was super helpful, attentive and definitely engaged his customers, as well as introducing himself. I was with one of my guy friends and the bartender paid for us to play a round of pool. After a short period of time, some tipsy guy spilled half of my drink walking by. The bartender quickly picked up the mess, made another and comped my drink. Paid for a round of Pool, and comped out a drink.. Who does that? People with Hospitality. Your Awesome! :) Tip? Heck Yes, I will. That's real customer service. read more

So I've come to this bar like 3 times in the past couple months and everytime I came it was a good time. Except this past Friday I opened a tab and I don't know why at this bar when you open a tab they keep your card and Me being a little under the influence I forgot to grab my card before I left. Which I thought wasn't going to be a big deal cause I live right down the street so I was just going to pick it up in the morning. I go there in the morning to get my card and there's a different bartender there and I tell her my situation so she starts looking for my card in the drawer.. then after looking for a sec she says it's not there. So I assume maybe the bartender from the night shift placed it in a different area so instead of deactivating my card I was just going to come back later at night and hopefully they could remember where they put it. Then later that night I get a notification from the bank that my card was charged another 30 dollars at this same bar. So I end up driving back to the bar and there's a different bartender there again so I tell her my situation and she said she was going to check for my card again. After standing there for like 20 minutes she didn't check so I ended up leaving and deactivating my card. read more
