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 musicians were incredible, the crowd was mature, and the whole place felt like a hidden gem you only hear about from locals. It's also a surprisingly great place for a low‑key date night. 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.

The drinks were well-prepared and reasonably priced. And best of all, a beautiful, well-maintained vintage neon sign that I am sure is from the 1930s. On Sundays from 4 pm to 8 pm, there is a blues jam session. There might be a cover charge after 8 pm for a regular band. I am in Sacramento once a month on a Sunday. I hope to stop here again.

I been trying to make it out to Stoney's Rockin Rodeo for years and finally just said forget it…read morelet's goooo... and honestly I should have came sooner. Walked in ready to learn some line dancing and ended up having a blast. The vibe in here is legit... good country music, cold beers, people actually having fun, and not everyone standing around staring at their phones lol. Now let's talk about the parking lot... it is absolute survival mode you better get in where you fit in because once it gets busy it turns into organized chaos. If you know, you know. Security and ID check at the front was smooth though and honestly appreciated. Professional, friendly, and for $10 to get in it's hard to complain. The bartender had me cracking up all night. I ordered a Miller Genuine Draft and the look he gave me was like I just ordered the finest whiskey in the building instantly became friends. He kept calling it "the champagne of beers" and every time I walked back up he'd point and go "I know what you drink!" I was like damn... one night in and I'm already a regular hahaha. Great place to learn country dancing, have some drinks, and just enjoy some good vibes.

I managed to confidently jump in for the Cupid Shuffle because that was the only one I fully knew I attempted a few others by following random people's feet and let's just say... it was humbling, but honestly so much fun. The vibe here is great and everyone seemed to just be having a genuinely good time. They have 2 bars, tons of space for dancing, plenty of seating, a mechanical bull, and surprisingly good food too. I'd definitely recommend taking the dance lessons first if you're new because these regulars are NOT playing around Great spot for a fun night out. The service is friendly too. We made friends with the bartender.

If you're not one to stand in the crowd you can also get seats & I think the have servers that come to you. There's not too big of a line for the merch & bars. They have 3 bars inside.

I recently attended Alex Isley's concert at Ace of Spades, and while the performance itself was…read morefantastic, the venue continues to be one of my least favorite in the Sacramento area. Ace of Spades is primarily a general admission, standing-room-only venue. I understand that's part of its model, but what I struggle with is the cost of having access to a seat. Reserved seating can run $100-$150 per seat, which feels excessive. As someone with a chronic back issue, it's frustrating that the option to sit down during a concert comes with such a steep additional cost. Basic accessibility and comfort shouldn't feel like a luxury upgrade. There were also a few moments during Alex Isley's set when the sound briefly blipped while she was singing. Music didn't stop, singing sounded off. It wasn't constant, but it was noticeable enough to pull you out of the experience. On a positive note, the Good Luck Lounge was a great addition. The atmosphere was welcoming, the DJ was excellent, and the finger foods were surprisingly good. It definitely enhanced the overall experience before the show. The staff at both AOS & GLL were excellent! That said, the seating situation remains a major drawback for me. Unless it's an artist I really, really want to see, Ace of Spades isn't a venue I would choose. The performers are often great, but the overall experience doesn't justify the premium pricing for something as simple as a place to sit.

I am on a dart team for my local dive bar and we just so happened to have a league game here so I finally got to check it out. It was a Wednesday around 7:30 and the dart league members were the only patrons inside the entire time. It's a typical dark vibe dive with 1 pool table, 4 dart boards, a stage for a band and a small back patio. They seem to host lots of local rock bands so if your looking for a lowkey spot to play pool or throw darts, weekends here probably won't be a good idea, especially since the dart boards are located where the "dance floor" is. They do not offer food, but the owner was cool about me bringing in some food. I ordered a corona and 2 Cokes and it was $12, which seemed a little steep especially since the soda was flat. Overall, not really my vibe based on the music they play but the owner was cool and we had a good time throwing darts and even played a few games of pool.

Located on J Street on the 27th block, this small club exceeded all my expectations for this show. Parking is mostly all neighborhood parking at street meters, but the venue only holds maybe 300 so its not horrible Going through security and ticket check was relatively quick and painless, with security and employees all easy going and pleasant. Once inside, the merch tables were a little cramped, but merch was displayed prominently and transactions were quick and easy. The bar area to right when you first walk in takes up almost the whole wall, with multiple bartenders taking orders and serving customers so ordering a beer was quick to come, ice cold and not ridiculously marked up compared to other places .They also had various mixed drink options. The actual floor/stage area was small, intimate and surrounded at back and on side with raised area with some tables and chairs that were reserved, I assume for an extra price (I didnt inquire). The acoustics were quite good, considering the bands playing(opener was a so cal punk band called The Mainliners), headliner was a heavy metal stoner/grunge type band from Norway (Slomosa). A great evening of music, venue is exceptional, looking forward to finding a show I can take the wife too, as I never explored the back or upper areas that I understand add even more layers to an exceptional experience at this venue.

Attended two music shows on consecutive nights. 1st show the room was packed, completely sold out…read more 2nd show there were less than 20 people in the audience. 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.

At only 130 seats, it is an intimate setting. Music only, no food or drinks sold. 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).
