B-Side

Cool little bar Went here Saturday night with my girlfriend. Great bartender A few local beers from New Glory, Track 7 and my lady's cocktail was good

The B side is a great locals only spot with an excellent price point on their adult beverages. My friends and I stopped here as an in in-between place to chill during a holiday midtown crawl. They have several large comfy booths, which is where took our seats, and a bar that flanks the entire length of the room. It was chilly outside and having stopped at this cozy little bar while sitting at one of their comfy roomy booths made it hard for us to move on to our next crawl spot. We eventually moved on and I'll definitely return to revisit the B-Side.

After hanging out at a few places in Sacramento we decided to end the night here . We came in for a drink they had music playing in the background and they were playing Halloween movies on their TV's since it's October I thought that was a nice touch . They have this cute disco ball by the music that lights up the place nicely . Everything looked clean and organized. The bartender was really nice and made me a really good White Linen. We had a great time here with friends . I would definitely be coming back ..

You know how ...first impressions make a big impact? Yes, well our first impression of B-Side was not just disappointing- it was actually enough to make us want to leave... and not return. The service was slow, awkward, and judgmental. B-side was listed as part of the Sacramento Halloween Bar crawl, and if I could stand outside and hold a sign saying not to go - I would. You could tell the owners, the bartends, pretty much all the staff was just not friendly to our group, made us wait over 20 minutes to serve us shooters, not even mixed drinks -shooters. The ambience was ...fine? No halloween decor or friendly lights, the tv playing was ....ok. But the worst of this all- is the shooters are priced at $5 each and we were charged $10 each- but because we felt so intimidated by the service and the staff- we didn't even bother to try to accommodate our drinks. *since we were sitting at the bar, we overheard 2 staff members, maybe the owner? Tell a bartender to ignore the people in costumes and just serve the other customers first* Basically if you are a college student, a Halloween party goer, or young person looking for a funbar- this is NOT THE BAR FOR YOU. Bummer, but good to know now. Keep in mind there are SEVERAL other kind, fabulous, welcoming bars and are also NEW that are much better. Save your money, skip this bar- go to another!

Great place to come hang out and socialize at.B-Side neighbors the R & 15th area, but because it's not right in the heart of it. It's a more relaxed and chill type of environment.The back outdoor area is perfect for larger group fathers, where you might want to just enjoy the open area and local art. I like the murals of iconic musicians to include that large solo piece of MF Doom. You can also get into a game of corn hole in the far back, if that's your type of thing. Inside is the bar and smaller booth area. And at least on the weekends, (can't speak for the weekdays since I've never been) had a live DJ to provide a mix of music.Overall: Good lounge and social type environment.

No, I wouldn't go back. Not the best vibe. Kinda awkward and as far as drinks go no recommendations as a bartender. Kinda uncomfortable when we asked for any suggestions. We were out looking for a place to chill and have a couple drinks. Saw this lounge decided to stop in. Not so friendly or inviting. Just kinda there. No food served here, if you are wanting bar food, nope nada. That's ok, at least the drinks we ordered they were kinda strong. So yeah, not the best, not the worst. Maybe it was just the wrong night to check it out.

Love this place. The bartenders are super nice, drinks are very reasonably priced, music is good, and there's always a movie on. Tonight I asked Aaron to make me a drink and he came up with this amazing drink. We named it Florence. If you like gin and rosewater, this is your drink! The mint in it is a perfect combo with the rosewater. Aaron is always very friendly and clearly a great bartender. Come visit and get a great drink, watch some random movie and chill.

Good place to hang out for a drink. The vibe is cool with nice drinks. Service is great.

I live down the street and come here every week. Today i came in and met a bartender named Margo i never see and she was my absolute favorite. Great personality and natural kindness and care. Very happy to meet a bartender that genuinely has a passion to serve and laugh with customers

I have lived down the street from this place for years and I finally tried it 2 weeks ago while out with a friend. The staff were super nice! But it seemed like they were struggling with a few things. First, I felt bad that the bartenders had to use flash lights to see. I think the lights under the bar went out? Also my friend and I got separate drinks (hers was poured and mine was from a can put into a glass) and both our drinks tasted moldy. We couldn't drink our beverages. I think they may have an issue with their dishwasher needing to be sanitized. I have no problem coming back....as long as someone pinky swore they cleaned the dishwasher lol.
