So it makes sense that one of my favorite spots during my visit here was a hidden gem smelly dive bar. The Chambers Room is a cash only, one room dive with weird shit all over the walls, and sketchy cliental... I'd love ever second of it. Denise, Debbie, Diane? Whomever she was, our bartender was super friendly and poured with a heavy hand. Which I greatly appreciated in this economy. Four drinks set us back about $20, which is unbelievable! They do serve food, but I was no way near drunk enough to dine-in. I would have stayed here much longer, but I had tickets to the Kings and had to hit the road. Shout out to Alex Lane for the company and recommendation!

This bar is truly a definition of a dive bar-dark lighting inside,they tend to play throwback music 100% of the time which is awesome-the bartenders here are always super friendly and always seem young-not always the most experienced bartenders you will run into but they always do their job with lots of enthusiasm and friendly demeanors-I think that's important. The drinks themselves are pretty inexpensive per todays Sacramento downtown standards,I think my old fashioned ran for either $10 or $11 which is pretty good and they are always solid-they make very solid get the job done keep the vibe going level drinks and at that price-that's a winning combination. My favorite part of this bar though for me is easy-it's the outside back patio.It features a few long tables and it's mostly frequented by someone either looking to smoke a cigarette or vape,I personally will go back there and light up a cigar and just enjoy the craziness that occurs back there.By craziness I just mean a lot of people socializing-laughing telling stories and getting along,u literally can strike up conversations with people you never met before just based on the fact that you know anybody who finds themselves in the back outside patio at B-Side knows what's up-nobody lands there on accident-it's a super chill spot with a never ending cast of unknowns who might sit next to you and just be prepared as your probably going to have the most random conversation you have ever had in your life. B-Side isn't a fancy bar or a place to go before a nice dinner-this place isn't for everyone,especially at my age,but if u are ever lucky enough to walk thru those doors be prepared to be transported to a time when all you ever wanted was a place you could kick back-have a cheap drink,maybe enjoy a smoke and just chat with people who don't have their noses buried in their ohones-a true throwback.

I highly recommend stopping by... if I had any complaints it would be the seating... we're all in our 60's and 70's and the seating (although perfect for a dive bar) was hard on our backs... but everything else was top notch!

It is small inside but has a surprising amount of seating they were able to make fit. It is dark, intimate, and romantic. The vibes I was getting was a mixture of burlesque snd dive bar. The bartenders were super nice, the drink prices are very reasonable and cheaper than some midtown bars I've been to, and they have a touchtunes like machine you can play music on, as well as two pool tables. I really enjoyed our time here and would come back.

Pool, TV's and plenty of tables for larger crowds. I'll be dropping in again soon to visit and talk life. Also would make a fun St. Patty's day bar to add to a crawl.

You dont get aggressive with her as a 350 pound 6'3" sumo wrestler and physical grab her beer from her hand. Maybe if it's happened before and she didn't listen or gave attitude. But not first hand response to a woman. What's worse, is when this is explained politely to him, his response was "well, that's how I handle it".

The place is a lot cleaner and brighter than I remember, and there are way more beer selections now. I feel like in the old days there was basically one option. Also, no popcorn all over the floor like I remember from back then -- the whole place feels much more updated and polished now. They also do karaoke now, and apparently it's a pretty big deal. There seemed to be a lot of regulars who clearly have karaoke night circled on their calendars. I didn't sing, but my friend got up and did a Quiet Riot song... which felt appropriate considering we're all straight out of the '90s ourselves. There's also a lot more seating now -- tall tables and stools instead of the little round tables that looked left over from the 1970s. I don't know when I'll be back, but if another occasion comes up where old friends are getting together and this is the chosen spot, I'm definitely in.
