- CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014Based 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.
- Be prepared to wait a bit - it's very popular, especially on weekends - but it's well worth it. Can't go wrong with a Vieux Carre, but trust your bartender! Tell them what you like and stand back
- Monika ReyesDecember 23, 2012If 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 : )
- Brodie OlmsteadDecember 10, 2016Trendy spot with decent cocktails. Service is slow when it's crowded, but the bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. They have food and the grilled cheese is good for a quick bite.
- Cocktails are awesome - interesting flavors, well balanced and expertly crafted. And they're half off during happy hour!
- MatApril 14, 2016Great gin drinks but get the Tom Collins. The use of Old Tom really makes it stand apart!
- Try the Hemingway's Daiquiri - Sub sugar add fresh grapefruit juice and a slice to top! @shadyladybar #midtown #midtownsac #sacramento #libations #cocktails #rum
- Still the best cocktails in town! That said, the interior no longer feels "clean" or kept up. Lots of deferred maintenance. (As of May, 2017.)
- JCOctober 23, 2022Great Gin drinks. Amber claimed their White Linen is the best anywhere and the Corpse Reviver was also great.
- Hands down, my favorite eggs benny in town. Try with spinach and tomato (you can add the ham too). Never disappointed.
- Order an Old Cuban before you go. ~Diplomatic Rum, lime juice, sugar, Angostura Bitters and muddled mint, topped w/ sparkling wine.
- Stephanie LocknerNovember 4, 2015Note your typical bar menu, so great if you're wanting to try something new. Nice bar staff and great atmosphere with live music.
- any gin cocktail is a good cocktail here - southsides especially!
- Jon DarveauMay 9, 2015Fun cocktail list selection of which all are very good. Gets very popular for a good reason
- Alex DobyanMarch 17, 2018Awesome spot - live music by a full local brass band made the Friday night I spent here.
- Cliff Griffin IIIFebruary 7, 2015Food is super good. Only place I know that mixes laphroaig into a drink. Also, Sam is the best waitress here, :-)
- TWO MEN AND A TRUCKMay 20, 2013Hanger Steak Salad is AMAZING! It's Spinach, steak, strawberries, chevre goat cheese, and tangerine vinaigrette dressing. Try it!
- Hillary FolsomFebruary 5, 2016Hands down best bar in town. The choice of cocktails are top notch and strong as hell.
- Shady LadyBarOctober 4, 2013Combining a love of food, craft cocktails and music, the Shady Lady Saloon was created.
- Some of the best drinks and food I've had in Sacramento. Mac and cheese for food, Old Cuban for drinks.
- Ginny BlankenfeldOctober 19, 2018Love the cocktails and the decor! Good place to bring someone from out of town.
- Elizabeth BrownDecember 7, 2015The fried chicken sandwich is amazing, and all the drinks are pretty strong.
- SacReviewsDecember 28, 2010Named Top 10 bar of 2010. The drink menu favors throwback concoctions & the decor is superbly old school making a night out at Shady Lady feel like a trip through time. [SacBee] Read more
- Stephanie BFebruary 22, 2011My boyfriend and I went here after a long weekend. So fun. Try a signature cocktail, play in the photo booth. Thank me later
- Landon HowellFebruary 18, 2011Don't pick your drink. Tell the bartender what you usually drink, but ask them to be creative with something similar.
- Matthew AllisonMay 1, 2010Fried green tomatoes, followed by the turkey melt all while drinking a Stella...........also some of the best French fries I've ever had, great spot!
- 💕Linds💕August 26, 2016Really pricey. The food was just OK - I had the spinach and tomato eggs benedict. Our server was very excellent though!
- TWO MEN AND A TRUCKNovember 13, 2012Sit on the patio to enjoy a cool evening breeze and the upbeat hype of a popular downtown street.
- Here's a drink that's not on the menu but should be for sure! Ask for Anna and order a Hot Totie! She makes the best drinks in town for sure!!!
- Good food, good drinks, nice staff, fun atmosphere. What more could you ask for?
- Get a gin and tonic with Death's Door gin. You'll never order a regular one again.
- Bettina InclanNovember 20, 2009Go to Shady Lady and order the pumpkin soup, it's a holiday party in your mouth... feeling like a refreshing drink, order White Linen, it's like cucumber water w/ a kick.
- Kevin TriskettFebruary 17, 2012The cocktails, food, and atmosphere were all tremendous. Couldn't recommend this place more highly.
- TheSterlingHotelJune 15, 2010
- Christopher GarciaDecember 19, 2010try the 'white linen' - hands down the best old fashioned drink they have!
- stef rubioJuly 3, 2010Order a Jameson Ginger Ale! They don't have ginger ale but their replacement is delicious and way better!
