Where do I start, this place was the Camelot when I first graced the entrance in about 77' again, "Mom can I have some money for dinner?" Blah blah blah. It closed some years later and opened as Who Cares which was a smoke here if you want to place. Had a great bartender, Kimmy she was my Sister in Law RIP passed in 08' that made the place worth going into. It closed and the place sat dormant several years.....fast forward to a place that is as regular and comfortable as that old pair of Levi's or sweatshirt with holes you should have thrown out already. Comfortable and like some other bars in the area you always know what's on the other side of the door.....real people. Good capable personable bartenders a couple who are owner operators. A good bar, great selections of beers and liquor, shuffle board, darts, dice, some golf game, great Mexican food next door, great burgers across the street, so so Chinese just past the Mexican place. I'm glad to see they're doing well and plan on my continued support. read more

Honestly, I'm not sure what it is I love so much about this place, but i do, i love it. I come back and feel so comfortable there and the ambience is nice, very dive bar-esque. Definitely check it out read more

Lmao local dive always a good classic it's close to the skips burger joint across the street fun for Carmichael folks if your looking for a cheap drink and good ambiance read more

I went here this past Friday! It was lively, fun, full but not stuffed to the brim with people. I met a lot of cool folks, got way too drunk and lost my boyfriends pocket knife. All in all, a good night. Prices are reasonable, same as your average dive bar or just a little bit more. I'd love to come here again and take advantage of the foosball table and pinball machines. If I lived closer, this would be my go-to bar. If the "delicious mexican food next door" Alisa is talking about is from El Palmar next door, I'd have to respectfully disagree. I went there about 9 months ago and was very disappointed with the quality. It was pretty bland Mexican food. If you found a black and silver pocket knife, please email me: sarahjsaturday@gmail.com I'd really appreciate if I got back the pocket knife, I feel like a seriously horrible gf for losing it. read more

Evan! That's the the name of my favorite bartender here (finally remembered to ask). He's funny and super nice and I've brought numerous friends who love his service and drinks just as much. read more

The Blind Pig - Love the artwork! - Dive Bars Near Me - Carmichael, California

This is one of my go to bars. I live right around the corner from it and never have had any issues. The bartender Matt is amazing. I am one of those people who just tells them to give me what you recommend and he never disappoints. Super mellow, everyone is friendly here. read more

Best little Dive Bar in the Sacramento and Carmichael area! Cheap drinks and a friendly crowd, plus you can't beat their Trivia Night every Tuesday at 8pm. They gave away Giants Tickets for first place tonight! read more

My gf really likes this) - Tables / Bar / Booth read more

This place is a refreshing break from the sacramento heat. Evan, mike, werly, Bryce, Carolyn and Stephanie are the VERY best read more

The Blind Pig - Dive Bars Near Me - Carmichael, California

I like the Bloody Mary at this bar.. But the last few times I have been there it seems like it takes forever to get a drink! And I brought my sister there for the first time one night and the stupid security guard started shining his flashlight in our faces. Made the whole group of us uncomfortable so we just left.. Didn't even get a drink. The security there is crap! And if I didn't like the Bloody Mary there so much I probably wouldn't go back! I honestly think if there are bar maids and they don't know how to make the drinks that they should be the ones to take the payments! Or teach them how to make the drinks! Don't be counterproductive! That's why it takes so long to get a drink! read more

This was our first time there, drinks are cheap the crowd was nice. Most people seemed to know each other but nobody treated my wife and I different. We will definitely be back read more

You have a great mom she is fun can't wait to talk with her again!!! Fun place to hang out and have some good company. read more

Went into the blind pig last night with a old friend "Frisco Joe" as we we're bar hopin from "Callisions" an Caroline was behind the bar eager to whip up some tasty drinks. I went for the Moscow mule. Anything with ginger beer is refreshing. Matt was on was hand to welcome me back, recalling a past visit where he made up some amazing bloodymarys with bacon infused vodka! But what brings me back to this Carmichael location is than familiar faces. A place where everyone truly does know you're name. Owners Even an Mike make a great team an always make it a fun experience for me the patron. read more

See all

I love this bar, Evan, Matt and Michael are awesome, the bar has a music machine for everyone to enjoy and activities that a group of friends could enjoy. I've been coming here for some time, the people are friendly and as far as I've been a witness to, almost never any bar fights. It's a neighborhood bar, if thats what you like, give it a shot preferably some very nice vodka. read more

Nice little bar, friendly service and easy going atmosphere. Yummy Moscow Mules! Prices are pretty much on par with other establishments in area.Its basically a neighborhood bar, but has a trendy vibe. read more

Love this place! Great drinks, great customer service and ALWAYS clean. From bar top, to floors, to the bathrooms. They are always on top of things, and don't let out of control people stay around long so it keeps a great relaxing feel to it. And the customers are great... Everyone welcomes everyone and will join in on dice games whenever. Love the atmosphere here! It's great!! read more

Good environment for a low key night out with friends! Beer is cheap. Bartender is awesome!

i never had the pleasure of getting sh*tty at *Who Cares* so i have nothing to compare it to except my romanticized version of a dive bar. set in an 80's strip mall a few staggers away from El Palmar, a nail place, Green Jade, a grocery store, and a few other local color hot spots, it almost seems unmarked if not for the banner with their name hanging above. you have your darts, jukebox, and maybe a few other things i missed lining the narrow space. the bar holds a lot of seats at the counter, but there's only a handful of tables and chairs so get there early if you're in the habit of falling all over the place. they even have a sparkly vinyl booth along the far wall usually dominated by the owners' friends retelling the glory days from their 4 years at El Camino. my advice to other Yelpers... definitely beware of train wrecks!!! there's always that guy too drunk to hold his hands up but doing anything he can to start a fight. there's those girls giving the stink eye, smacking their gum, and talking sh*t trying to piss off another chick so her man can get in a fight with someone. there's the Carmichael version of bros in their plaid shirts and/or fav team hat puffing their chests out, giving high 5's, and eying the bar as they choose their victim for the night. outside you can bum a smoke, but not without a 5-10 min chat about who you know, who you're with, or who you're going home with. it's a dive with weak/strong drinks depending on what you order. i had fun on new years eve c/o Karaoke Brian and my group of friends. we left by 12:15am... *CASH ONLY* *karaoke now on Wed nights* read more

I've been here and it isnt that great. Pretty much what you would expect from a dilapidated strip mall in this area of town. What really grinds my gears for the most part is when every single reviewer so far has 1 or 2 previous reviews. Yelp really needs to figure out some sort of verification process. read more

Bummer, I really wanted to like this place. There's not many bars you can go to Han Solo as a single woman in my neck of the woods and the list just got shorter. Had some guy counting his teeth come on overly aggressive, there was only about a half dozen other people in the bar and I was visibly uncomfortable. Now I know most men today won't reach out to help women, but this place seemed pretty close knit and I thought I'd get at least a concerned gesture. Nada. I left not finishing my first drink. While I can fend for myself I'm no match against a formidable male. Rejecting a guy too strongly these days puts women in sometimes precarious situations. Please pay attention to your female patrons, all I needed was someone to step up and ask how I was doing and maybe to ask the guy to move down the bar. read more

Went for the first time last night with some friends. Cool little place. Pretty decent crowd (although strangely most the dudes in there looked like jack black - no bullshit lmao). I had no idea it had changed from that shithole it used to be in the past. It has a nice setup, Jukebox, games, karaoke thur nights. Talked to the owner Mike who was really nice, said him and his buddies did all the work themselves to make it what it is. They did a great job. I'll definitely be hitting it up again. read more

Cool little joint with character but if you're not a regular they overcharge. It cost $18 for a cider and happy hour Moscow Mule! Bartender must have forgot we were at a dive bar in Sacramento . I still left a tip since the first bar tender was nice and easy going. read more

We ventured off the broken path to check out a new hole in the wall..we were two of three, but it was only 1000 AM, so thats OK as it gave me time to check the place out..We know the bartender so the conversation was good and the service was great...the place was clean, as was the newly remodeled bathrooms..had a few pinball machines and they do have a kitchen that opens up a bit later on but we did not stick around as by 11 PM it was a total co...er um guy fest..I wish some of these guys would bring their women out..it gets old having the only chick in the bar..needless to say..the Pig goes on my dive bar list..and we will venture out one evening and check it out and hopefully up grade to five starts... read more

I liked this dive on the side of a quiet strip mall. It was pretty low key for a Saturday but I hate when bars are packed and loud so that was actually a plus. The owner is really cool, the decor is cool, and the place is clean. I don't know why other reviews are calling it "hipster" because I didn't get that vibe at all. Drink prices are reasonable, about 5 bucks for a well screwdriver. I'll definitely go back next time I visit. read more

My new local hangout!!!! I moved to this area about a year ago and worried I was going to not have any favorite watering holes being away from Midtown. I was wrong! Great bartenders and patrons. We met the owner only once and came back months later and he not only remembered us but everything we had talked about the previous time. It's our new Cheers!!! read more

Great place for some drinks. The owners knocked it out of the ballpark fixing this one up from the previous "who cares tavern"

First bar I've been too and I'm so glad it was my first. Outside it looks kind of lonely but inside it's amazing! A kind couple bought me and my friend shots after learning it was our first experience at a bar. Strong strong drinks, nice patrons, and friendly, polite bartenders. We had a blast! Will definitely be back read more

Nice local bar. Owners are very receptive and the place looks great. As soon as the sign goes up, this place will be packed!

Tolerable. I wouldnt return nor would I say you should check it out. Overpriced drinks and it smells terrible. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

Have stopped by there a few times with my husband and every time we get totally ignored, not to mention the bar is too tall and when I sit it kind of comes up to my chest. read more

I would definitely recommend this place, great bar. I would give it 5 stars if it had great food! Karaoke on Weds. Stop by and try on your way home. read more

Anytime I am in the Sacramento area I come to this place the ambiance is amazing and the locals are awesome here it is truly a hidden gem in a quiet neighborhood I would recommend this place to anyone that doesn't like the typical bar scene and don't have a ridiculous amount of expectations cause of your one of those people just stay away read more

Great place. Nice and big. Great staff. Oh and you can order food from surrounding business and have it delivered to the bar.

Good drinks good price downside little bar on the side of an abandoned grocery store inside nice outside ghetto

On the search for the the divest bar in sac. This is definintally top on my list. random and fun crowd, fun bartender. If your curious about this bar, id say its a green light. read more

The blind pig is a cool little bar in a random spot in Sacramento. It looks foreboding from the outside but it's hardly a dive bar, in that it just seems it would be sketchy from the sign in front. In reality, it's a quiet sports bar. The bar tender was cool and it seemed like a locals' spot where everyone knows eachother most nights. I heard they do BYOBBQs for football games during the season too. read more

The Blind Pig is my spot on Tuesdays! Good beer, good people, and great staff. They always have something going on and the prices are pretty damn good. Coors lights are $2.50 and they always have different tap beers. read more

This is definitely my favorite bar. We come here for trivia every week, and sometimes other nights just to relax and have a good time. The bartenders are AWESOME, especially Evan. Good beers on tap, and nice variety of bottled beers as wells. It's also a fitting bar for any age group! read more

If you love great drinks @ great prices, look no further! Awesome bartenders and a cool diverse crowd. Look forward to many nights at THE BLIND PIG! - Try to challenge the owners at Pinball, I certainly could not hang! read more

I love The Pig. Everything you could want in a dive bar. Build new from scratch in 2012, it feels clean and legit. Bloody Mary's rock.
