Greg McGrath: Amazing blues/funk music every night they are open. Best live music in town. Plus they've got Lagunitas IPA on tap. Can't go wrong getting your Torch on.
K.C. Huchendorf: Can't go wrong with some groovy music and stiff drinks. Order any mixed drink and you won't regret it.
Shelby Parker: One of my favorite places in Sacramento! The live bands are always fun and there's always a lot of diversity in music styles. Drinks are strong and the staff is great.

Cocktail Bar · Downtown Sacramento · 114 tips and reviews
Monika Reyes: If u want to listen to the live music and not have to stand, get there for dinner around 8pm and you'll be enjoying the music from a cozy booth with an Anna's Irish Coffee in hand at 9pm : )
CITY GRIT: Based on the name, we expected a dive bar versus the swank spot we walked into. Great vibes, live music and a ridiculous offering of craft cocktails make for a perfect way to wind down the night.
Stephanie Lockner: Note your typical bar menu, so great if you're wanting to try something new. Nice bar staff and great atmosphere with live music.

Charles Allison: Great Food, Great Music, Great Atmosphere, & run by Friendly people. If you haven't tried Zocolo, PLEASE DO!
The Sacramento Press: The Blackberry Margarita is one of our faves! El Burrito is quite possibly the best burrito in Sacramento. Saturday nights are Latin Jazz nights!
