I recently did a charity event at cinders. The owner was awesome and helped me greatly put on a good show. Great atmosphere. Very friendly. I would definitely recommend this bar to anybody. read more

Soooooo, Cinder's Bar is a local good ole boys kinda spot. Just totally chill vibe and welcoming. It's like a spot to give your feet a rest after work and have low expectations and experience a great chill time. Mike the bartender is a busy body. Very hospitable, funny as heck and seems to be every where at once. He's also a bartender, counselor and card player in one. Very cool dude. If you like a cooltastic neighborly dive bar experience, Cinder's is the spot! The bar is law enforcement and military friendly and that's a vibe! Soooo, don't start none won't be none. ADA friendly indoor and outdoors. Mobility devices are able to navigate with ease up to the bar or the tables. Parking is aplenty. Seeking a chill spot? The Cinder's Bar is the place. Come with a good attitude and chillax. read more

We came on a random Tuesday and it was an odd combination of things going on. There was a taco lady out front, inside was a pool league game but also a DJ playing 90's rap/hip hop so it was dark like a club, someone playing video games and a kink vendor pop up out back. I saw 3 TV's but only one was playing any sports. Service was a little slow, they had 2 bartenders but they both stuck to the same end of the bar. They were also out of Coronas and Modelos. They do not serve food but it looks like they do have food vendors come, the one there that night was not good. What she called tacos was not. It was a mini quesadilla with the meat sprinkled on top, not even inside and it was insanely salty. The biggest turn off for me tho was the ginormous cockroach I almost picked up thinking it was dart tip. read more

This place was OK for a bar the usual hole in the wall bar people are friendly and nice. I would definitely go back.

absolutely love this please!!! Frienly and like a community Good bartenders, who knows my name)

If I could give zero stars, I would. I came here for a peaceful night out, paid my tab, tipped generously, and was walking out when the bartender, who was drinking on the job, yelled at me and accused me of not paying. Despite offering to review the cameras, I was harassed, physically assaulted by the bartender, and then jumped by multiple patrons, including women who threw fists, chairs, and barstools at me. I stayed under the cameras to wait for police, who did not arrive for nearly three hours. Instead of deescalating, the owner showed up and sided with the bartender, refusing to acknowledge the truth even though the cameras clearly would have shown I paid. After I posted a review, the owner retaliated by posting my photo on their Facebook page with false claims that I attacked women and beat up his staff, which has now led to online harassment and threats. This place is not safe, not professional, and clearly not accountable for its staff or patrons' violent behavior. I will never return and strongly advise others to stay away. read more

Cool bar with a bunch of fireplaces inside. They've got darts, and usually have someone doing food around there. Cheap and tasty drinks, sometimes they have a DJ with music. I've been there many times, am always served quickly and the bartenders are friendly. read more

Unexpected gem... Friendly crowd, great vibe for a daytime bar. Who is the Friday bartender?

Lisa is the best bartender in town. With a Cheers like atmosphere where everyone knows your name this bar is where I go to just get away and unwind...! read more

The Cinders Bar - When I'm not at The Cinders I am out on the water... - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

I come in once in a while. Sometimes a DJ most of the time not. Drinks are strong. Always someone to talk to. Local dive bar.

If you go there makes you take a pillow because the bar stools are plywood. Lisa and Patty change you for drinks that you never have. Watch OUT. Go anywhere were else, you'll have a better time. read more

This place used to be a strip joint years ago. I like it as a dog friendly bar. They have plenty of room, a great outdoor patio, pool tables and clean restrooms. What more do you need in a great dive bar. read more

The cinders bar is one of those places you walk in and feel at home right away, especially on the nights that Michelle is working. Good parking outside and the inside is laid out for fun. You won't be disappointed. read more

I went to Sacramento to visit a friend for the weekend and I had a couple hours to kill before she got off work and after a long 4 Hour Dr. in traffic I wanted a beer so I looked on yelp and found this place. I loved the bartender very nice lady and the people that I was sitting around were all very friendly and they had free food available. when I get back up that way I will definitely go back to this bar!! read more

It's the perfect little bar around the corner that has wonderful service and yummy drinks made just right. Whenever my husband and I try something new and go to another bar or lounge and are disappointed, we immediately come here after! It's cozy and comfortable. read more

Unintentionally found this place and I'm glad I did. I came in on a Saturday afternoon just needing a drink. I walked in alone feeling a bit intimidated because it was a much older crowd and they were mostly coupled up. As soon as I approached the bar, the bartender Lisa asked my name and shook my hand, then introduced me to everyone there. I immediately felt welcomed. To keep this short, people there were great, best Bloody Mary, free food, plenty of parking, two pool tables, darts and a nice patio in the back. read more

Stumbled across this place to meet up with a coworker, and we had a great time! Definitely a "Cheers" vibe, and we felt very welcomed! Will definitely come back. read more

Great new owners. Definitely give it a try again. Awesome atmosphere and vibe. Here is to many years of success.

great staff! under new management and it's my new place to wet my whistle! I'd give It 10 starz!!

Day time female bartender plays favorites. I over heard her talking bout me to a couple-asking them if I was bothering them when I simply only asked lady a ?. (Who in fact was a snob from out of town). read more

I really can't say nice things about this bar. They have heavy pours, FREE -homemade food every Saturday (that's actually really good!) and super sweet bartenders and patrons. Older crowd, so very mellow. There is a large private parking lot.. You won't ever have to worry about parking here. Drinks are very inexpensive, the bar itself is very comfy.. Lots of seating, nice atmosphere. Decoration is on point, I almost feel like I'm in a ship or something.. It's cool. Ceilings painted black, dim lighting.. Great date night place! Certainly our new favorite dive bar:) read more

This bar has great friendly bar tenders that remember to take great care of their Lyft drivers! It's the little things that make a dive bar work! read more

We had no idea what to expect as we wandered in Friday night. We were doing an event in the building next door (The Skeleton Key Escape room) and had some time to kill. We found a dive for sure! The patrons were very friendly, greeting us and introducing themselves. The bartender made our drinks quickly and deliciously! We had a few pain in the behind drinks you don't get orders for at a dive bar often (Manhattan, Grape Vodka Press, margaritas) and they made them without complaint :). There was an off duty bartender who came to introduce herself (Jessica) and after learning it was my bday she brought me back a shot and wished me a happy birthday. She was very friendly and let us know of other fun they have at the bar (really- catch her on a football Sunday- she makes food)! There was a DJ playing lots of variety of music, they have tvs and pool tables too! We had a great night! Really enjoyed my bday celebration! We had so much fun we went back after our escape room and stayed til near close! Great local hang out with good people who are really nice and friendly! Not one issue the whole time we were there! Looking forward to stopping in again (even though we live in Natomas!)! read more

Been here a couple of times. The owner and bartender are both very nice, the music is great, and we can set up in a booth and play games. Definitely a favorite bar. read more

First off the Cinders Bar is boring and constantly empty. It's Definitely not worth your time and money. The people there usually start conversations they can't finish and end up causing drama for others. There's fights and the security sucks so if you get in a fight with someone your on your own. There's No protection for the people that visit the bar and there has been shootings and stabbings outside. The bar tender is over dramatic and doesn't really care for conversation unless he's talking about someone else's life or there own drama. All together the Cinders bar is one of the worst bars in sacramento because of the drama that comes with it. Don't waste your time and money on a place that doesn't care about there customers safety. read more

Great drinks, low key environment! Friendly and nice service every time. Go there often to unwind

Great bar! Everyone there is very friendly drinks and bartenders are great! But It's the tacos for me! Every weekend fire food served out side. 10 out of 10 recommend! read more

Dang was awesome and we ordered Long Island iced tea , awesome again, and Bob segue was playing . Ate spaghetti and what a place I'm going back read more

We went to this bar before our reservation at the Skeleton Key Escape Room, and we were so glad we did. The drinks were affordable and the Bartender, Lea, was so friendly!! This bar is about 45 minutes away from us, but we would definitely go there again! We loved the environment and cute places to sit. read more
