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.

Basketball Stadium · Downtown Sacramento · 30 tips and reviews
Solario: An unbeatable stadium experience. I haven't ever come across anything that comes close. Restored historic Sacramento neon signs decorate the concourse. Not a bad seat in the house.
Todd Miller: Great choices for delicious food. People flow, even when the place is packed.
Anthony V.: Before they were the Sacramento Kings, they were the Rochester Royals. They became the Kings when the basketball team moved to Kansas City, MO.

David Hylton: Love the concerts on Thursday evenings in the summertime :-)
Greg K: Medium sized zoo. It has a bit of everything. Must see tiger, anteater, giraffes, chimpanzees. Perfect for smaller kids to enjoy the animals up close for couple of hours.
ScribbyKitty: Come in the morning, the animals are more active.
