Went to the Rink for Bingo Loco with a group of friends and we had a blast! Can't say anything bad about the venue. No food, drinks were strong, Bathrooms were clean. Would recommend getting there early if there is a big group of you.

Concrete Boys concert

Went to The Rink Studios for the Concrete Boys concert. This was my very first time visiting this venue so I wasn't sure what to expect. Doors opened an hour before the main acts went on. As usual at other venues I've been to, there was a que outside of the venue but it wasn't nearly as long as I am used to. It took us about 15 minutes to get through the que and we scanned in no problem. Security was quick, they only allow clutch-sized bags so they searched those, and you get waved with a metal detector. The staff was efficient and made the process easy and quick. They were also very friendly during the process. The venue itself is a similar size to Harlow's I would say. The sound, stage set, and space for the crowd was great. They have a merch booth next to the entrance, as well as drinks. They had Red Bulls and water. They mentioned that they currently don't have a alcohol permit, so no alcohol is served at this venue. Parking is pretty easy to find. There is lots of street parking along the nearby streets. I would still recommend getting there earlier rather than later. It's not the cleanest area, but nothing that terribly hindered my experience. The venue is also right next to a light rail station so there is an easy option for public transit there. Overall, I enjoyed the concert and had a nice experience here. Well worth the $25 I spent on my ticket!

Absolutely SLEPT on spot. I can't believe it took me this long to even find out about it. I admit. My adventures in the Sacramento area have been.. Well, lacking lately. But yooo, glad I got dragged here to shoot some content with my bro. Located on a corner and gives off old movie bar style vibes from the outside but once you step in. It's a total spot for endless event possibilities. Club nights, pop up events, even gala style events. This place is IT!! TVs in the front entrance area that are patched in to the main stage/floor area so you can see all the fun goin on in the main room before you even get in there. Genius anticipation builder. They've got a kitchen, bar area and all. I plan on connecting more with them and getting more eyes on this location. There soo much you can do here. I'll definitely be back to plan some things of my own.

I was shocked at how well the AC works in this place. We were at a show full room of people, sold out night and I kept my beanie and sweater on and was very comfortable. Unfortunately no seating but it was a nice venue.

The venue was so cramped it felt like a sweaty sauna and if you're under 21, they hit you with a mandatory $5 drink voucher, even if your beverage of choice is air. The staff? Let's just say one of them was less than 5'2 WITH some ATTITUDE and had the eyes of a haunted Hot Topic mannequin and her sweat looked like it melted her smoky eye makeup. Her vest screamed security, but her vibe was pure glitchy RUDE NPC.

Bathroom sign - funny humor lol

My first time attending a performance after party at this location for Larry June from Cesar Chavez Park. If you're skeptical of the location don't be! Right off Arden way (west) only 12 minutes from downtown. I found parking easy and my favorite part was the amount of security in and around the building, the metal wand check on EVERYBODY ! Females included as well as a purse/bag check. I purchased my ticket before arriving so ID check and my mobile ticket made it easy and smooth to get inside. The staff was very friendly, professional and moved quickly and efficiently. The bar setup was cool and they had many drink options. Reasonably priced as well. From my experience here I'd recommend this space for anybody looking for a spacious and safe venue. The bathrooms were extremely clean and the sound and lights are top tier ! I suggest you check out this place if you are looking to do any event ! Good for weddings, baby showers, birthday parties or concerts and much more ! Check out my pictures for a preview.

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

I would say this venue has been booking more new and exciting bands over the past five years…read more Please please keep these shows coming. Makes me happy to see more punk/goth/metal shows happening here. I went to the recently sold out Die Spitz show and I was amazed how much energy the crowd had. You won't see no mosh pit at Golden One Center. Keep supporting smaller music venues and independent artists.

Before talking music. Let's talk food. They have a large selection of vegetarian items. Ok …read more.. let's talk bands. 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!

Very rarely a band comes to town and I get excited about. Thank you for booking Twin Temple…read more Hail satan!!!

Went for the Mon Rovia show last night - first time in the venue. 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.

Had a great experience on a weekday night to see Shrek for $2! We lucked out and got a street…read moreparking spot really close to the theater. We arrived a little after 6 pm and got popcorn with butter, a drink, and candy. Prices seem very reasonable, especially given the $2 movie ticket! It's so cool to have a place like this in Sacramento. All staff were friendly and welcoming and seemed like they enjoyed working there. Around starting time, Daniel came onto the stage to engage with the audience and promote future movie events. The movie-going experience itself was great as it was an enthusiastic crowd that sang along with the songs and some folks even came dressed up in character (um, donkey head mask, anyone?). My husband, a former bartender, grabbed a drink from the bar and said it was strong and well-made. It was our first time at this theater, but it certainly won't be our last.

This is a historic movie theater so don't expect modern movie theater standards! The inside is absolutely beautiful though and I love admiring the interior everytime I'm inside. The theater is pretty intimate so any seat is still a good seat. Staff is always friendly and you can tell they genuinely enjoy their jobs. The manager was even kind enough to allow my friends to take their graduation pictures here before. For the $2 movie day, I saw Perfect Blue and was pleasantly surprised that staff said it was a full house! It seems like they have been trying to get more various showings of anime/animation in general and asked the audience for input and feedback. Overall, I'm glad Sacramento still has the Crest in place and I'm hoping to make it out to more movies here :)

Wonderful Venue For Ally The Piper!…read more SITREP Stopped by here this past weekend with my buddies Jefe and Devn to checkout a new heartthrob: ALLY THE PIPER! THE SETUP Goldfield Trading Post is a modest, small venue - more like a country-western dance club, styling itself as an old fashioned 49er-like saloon. What it does, it does well with all the old timey maps, pictures, furnishings, wall decor and just the overall vibe. THE PERFORMANCE STAGE The stage is small, but at least tall enough (2-3 feet risers?) so that we could see Ally, her band and any other performers rather easily over the heads of the other attendees in front of us. The sound system was adequate with basic mic'ing for the singing, but we mainly relied upon the bands own sound systems to hear the instruments. THE BAR If you are mainly in for the drinking, the bar has got you covered with an array of beers, wines and a decent selection of spirits. I got my basic Jack & Diet Coke and after the first two the bartender gave me free refills of Diet Coke after that, so he won a loyal customer! (Tip your bartenders!) SITTING VS. STANDING If you wanted to sit, you really needed to come to the bar-dining area, which, unfortunately, is a separate room from the bandstand where the bands perform. There was a third room on the OTHER side of the band room where the artists could put up their merch tables and people could find a few more seats/booths where to relax. But you really couldn't see the band from this room either. THE LOWDOWN Ally The Piper was an inspired artist to showcase here at Goldfields and for that I am very grateful. Other than that, not sure I would just come here to get a drink and would much prefer to be next door at the Tack Room where you read up on that spot in my companion review.

I don't expect to see super clean bathrooms, it's a bar folks, but staff was definitely welcoming & courteous pretty awesome to meet this amazing artist! My hubby has been listening to him for years so this was a treat. Paid for the VIP experience/meet & greet. Thank you to this establishment for hosting a real hiphop artist!
