Decided to splurge for the…read more"Studio 24" package which gave us a separate entrance (no waiting in line), our own "VIP" lounge with some excellent free food (dumplings, egg rolls, and more), private restrooms (hey, that was cool!) and more. The layout is somewhat similar to Ace of Spades, but much nicer. We spent equal time down in the floor and in the balcony area (complete with a drink rail). All staff was just so gracious, welcoming, and helpful. It helped make the night really special, and we will definitely look for future events here.

"The Midnight" Put On Great Show In This Venue!…read more SITREP First time here! Never been to this venue before, so I was excited to check this place out when we got tickets to see "The Midnight" show this past Sunday evening, Sept. 20. THE SETUP First off, we got tickets for the Band's VIP pre-concert meetup requiring us to be there by 5:15pm (Doors officially opened @ 7pm / Music started @ 8pm). The venue is pretty spacious, and I'm just talking about the entry-way lobby: Large windows, beautiful murals, plenty of people to stand in line, congregate (my own personal gripe: there can't be enough ancillary seating in whatever part of the venue you're in, including the lobby; 64 years old here, not a fan of possibly standing for 7 hours, right?). But moving on, we were ushered in by venue staff into the main auditorium where the band was doing their soundcheck, so we got to watch the band practice for about 15 minutes on some of their songs while we were allowed to hangout and watch. MEET & GREET We were ushered back out into the lobby where we were able to cluster around Tyler - lead singer of "The Midnight" and have a great conversation! There were about 25 of us having an intimate chat with him which was a lot of fun: people asked questions about their music, inspiration for their lyrics, decisions on how many band members to have, etc. I always love pulling the left-turn, throwing a wrench into the flow, and asked Tyler, "How is it travel with the touring logistics with the diesel and other accommodations getting much more expensive? He was nonplussed but did say, "I've never been asked THAT before!" But answer he did. In fact, the band's manager chimed in and they both joked "Hey, if anyone wants to chip in on fuel costs, we're not too proud!" CONCERT The band rocked! Excellent show! The stage was elevated so no matter where you were standing on the main floor you had a decent view of the band. Luckily for us "old folks", there was bench-like seating all along the wall all around the perimeter of the room. Thank GOD. Suzanne and I took turns getting drinks but also managing to not give up our seats. We noticed the large balcony above and hadn't researched whether these were a different category of tickets. We noticed that it appeared (although it coulda been the dim lighting) there were no seats up there but rather three (3) separate rising tiers of bar-like rails for people to put their drinks on and lean against. LIGHTING An excellent feature about this venue - in contrast to it' most obvious competitor ACE OF SPACES - is that Channel 24 allows the venue, if desired, channel control of the auditorium's lighting-system to be controlled by the band's sound engineer: during heavy pulsating bass/drum rhythms, or percussive guitar work, the lights all around the room can pulsate with the songs rhythms. SERIOUSLY cool! DRINKS Ah well. Drinks at concerts, or festivals, or fairs, etc., are going to be expensive. My Jack & Coke, and Suzanne's Appletini were a coool $40 together w/o tip. So FYI. PARKING & MASS TRANSIT OPTIONS The venue is located right off the 23rd Street Light-rail station making it ideal to come to on mass transit with bus stops also conveniently located close. On this occasion, we drove to the venue and chose to avail ourselves of the $30 secured lot just in the next block from the venue (the other side of the lightrail tracks). THE LOWDOWN Channel 24 is a very good venue overall and I look forward to catching my next concert/show there.

I came with a friend and the energy was exactly what we were looking for -- grown, sexy, intimate, and full of good vibes without any of the chaos you get at bigger bars.

The lighting, the music, and the intimate layout make it easy to talk, relax, and just enjoy the moment. Whether you're trying to stay under the radar or just want a chill night with real talent on stage, The Torch Club delivers every time. I'll definitely be returning.

I liked watching some of the dancers practice before the official lessons began. Food was pretty standard in terms of portion and price. Loaded tater tots were good, nice and crispy with lots of toppings. The chicken sliders were tasty as well. Both came with way too many fries but that's just personal preference Music was what you would expect at a line dancing place. The lesson itself was really fun. You learn the steps to 2 songs and the instructor was very detailed and made everything really easy to follow along to. There was a cover but I think it was only $5 or $10 per person. Definitely a good spot to spend a Monday evening. Dance floor was full of students by the end of the night

Kicking off the first leg of The Linda Lindas' Gotta Get Back Out Tour 2026 was hands down one of the best live music experiences I've had. Both bands absolutely brought the house down. The Rat Utopian Experience set the tone early with an explosive, high-energy set that got the crowd buzzing, surfing, and moshing. It may have been their first visit to Sacramento, but they absolutely gained a lot more fans and will come back. The Linda Lindas kept the party going with their raw punk energy, stage presence, and tight musicianship. Proving once again why they are one of the most exciting and fun acts touring today. And it was Bela's 22nd birthday today! Hope she enjoyed the Icing on the Cake red velvet cupcake. If you have the chance to upgrade to the VIP seating, do it without hesitation. For an extra $50 per ticket, it was worth every single penny: - Cushy, comfortable seating to save your back and feet - A completely unobstructed view right above the floor crowd - Dedicated table service, meaning zero elbowing through lines at the main bar On top of that, we opted for the $15 add-on for all-you-can-eat freshly popped popcorn and all-you-can-drink canned beverages--an incredible value that kept us fueled the whole night. (Friendly reminder to everyone taking advantage of table service: please tip the hardworking staff generously!) Gotta love midtown Sac--they are definitely looking out for us vegetarians! The food menu had an impressive spread of vegetarian options, ranging from classic comfort cheese pizza to a hearty Beyond burger, plus three different styles of fries (regular, garlic, and sweet potato). I snapped a photo of the menu, so make sure to check out the uploaded pics to see all the vegetarian selections. Awesome vibes, great music, fantastic perks, and killer food. 10/10 night!

I was meeting up with…read moremy friend who I haven't seen in a few months, he's a regular here so I knew I was going to have a good time. I showed up at around 6:30 in the evening and was glad to see that it wasn't too busy. They have plenty of beer on tap, chilled whiskey and a ton of liquor options. I went with the Lost Coast Indica IPA and my friend stuck to his usual whiskey on ice. The tab was just $11 and we got our drinks in less than 2 minutes. There are plenty of activities to do here; pool, darts, beer pong, watch a sport show (UFC was playing this night). Music isn't loud and obnoxious like at other dive bars, it's nice that I could actually have a conversation with my friend and not have to yell. Bathrooms we're clean, the bar was clean, bartenders we're friendly and fun to talk to. I will definitely be returning to On the Y.

Hitting The DJ-Dance Scene Here More Often!…read more SITREP Since Promoter-DJ Megan L. has been running her DJ-Dance Clubs Necromancy twice a month here @ Harlow's, I've absolutely been enjoying the opportunity to stretch my legs more often and come to the Club! THE SETUP Whatever your deal is for club-logistics, club-music, club-drink-pricing, club parking, etc. etc. etc., I just know for me this the perfect situation: 1. I live only 4 blocks away - no need to drive! I can meetup with friends here, and I never worry about getting home, even if I have to stumble home! (No driving, no garage fees, no driving, no timetable to worry about having to leave early to DRIVE home, etc. 2. My favorite Club DJs come to Megan's clubs to spin HERE, at Harlows, whether they are from Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles or the Bay Area - such an excellent choice and variety of music-dance nights. 3. The admission price, the security, the physical plant of Harlow's is FIRST RATE: looks great, always reasonable, and f*ck-offs are not tolerated in this space. 4. Getting specific about physical plant, the dance floor is awesome and the large outdoor patio area in the back is amazeballs. Comfortable seating and on occasion (once every other month?) I MIGHT actually break out a clove. ;) 4. Finally, some of the best cocktails and whimsical drinks, reasonably priced you can get here in Sacramento. THE LOWDOWN Can't wait for the next night out @ Harlows! :D

The building and the auditorium are funky. Flat floor, uncomfortable folding chairs. The stage is elevated up 18 inches, so if you are short and there are bigger people seated in front of you there's little chance you will see the performers. Look for the ceiling air conditioning vents and avoid sitting under one of them. Made that mistake. I had a constant 3 hour blast of chilled air blowing on top of me. My nose was running like a faucet and I was literally trembling from the cold. Couldn't change seats in the capacity crowd. Tbe Bose sound system is adequate though inexpertly managed. The featured guitarist of a jazz combo could barely be heard, and I was sitting on the 4th row. All said, this is a bare bones hall that is staff by welcoming people. Informal, unfussy. Come as you are, no need to dress up.

We had dinner and drinks next door at The Hop Gardens restaurant before the show, and then walked around the corner a bit before show time and we were lucky enough to snag first row seats (no assigned seating). The seats are folding chairs, but they are comfortable enough. The sound system is great. Made for a wonderful evening of music at a very reasonable price ($25/ea).
