The Yummiest Wine Bars in Sacramento

Narumi Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.1 (42)

"Outstanding food. Everything is so fresh and tasty. This is our fourth visit and they have not disappointed. The sashimi melts in your mouth and is super fresh. All the rolls are delicious and they have a good variety. So far, I've had seven different rolls, all very good. Service is acceptable and the food arrived in a timely manner. This is no our go to place!!!Check it out."

"Some of these reviews are weird for this place. And I didn't know that this fabulous restaurant was so polarizing.This place is amazing. Full stop. We love farm to table! And this spot doesn't disappoint. It's off of the beaten path in a way. Every bite was truly sensational. We have been dreaming of our return to this little gem.I constantly think of their risotto and schnitzel. So creamy, so crunchy, so fresh. Their lemonade was amazing as well!!! While I do agree that it wasn't exactly cool temperature wise, you do have to remember that you're in Sacramento with scorching temperatures."

Fabian's Italian Bistro & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (594) • $$

"My friend and I went here for dessert after Mexican food at El Balcon. We sat at the bar, the bartender was very nice and helped us decide on which dessert to try. We split the Cream Brûlée and the flourless Chocolate Cake. They were both magnificent. The Brûlée was creamy with a fresh raspberry compote on top of the sugar shell. My friend had never had Cream Brûlée, needless to say, I got 2.5 bites of it. The flourless chocolate cake was just as divine as the Brûlée. It was dense, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness. It was served with a healthy scoop of fresh whipped cream. Both of these desserts were decadent and masterfully delicious. I will be back to try dinner! Sorry I forgot to take pictures of the desserts. I did however, take a pic of their 1942 tequila This restaurant would be a perfect date night place, the ambiance was bougie and elegant. Quiet and tucked in the perfect spot in the middle of the center it is located."

Citizen Vine

★★★★★ 4.5 (223) • $$

"Visiting my friends in Rocklin, with so many restaurants to try, this was one I'll return to again and again. Their wine selection is fantastic, the small plates we got were made from high quality ingredients and executed well. We sat at the bar and got to speak to the staff, including, Austin, who made our night even better. They also have a wine club, which if I lived closer, would have joined in a heart beat. Lucky are you that live nearby."

Ever After Wine

★★★★★ 4.8 (28)

"Soo happy we have this in Elk Grove now! It's the perfect place to meet with friends and enjoy some drinks after work. The small plates are so delicious & rich in flavor. Love that the wines rotate. Cute decor and a spacious bar top. Highly recommend visiting!"

Raven's Reach Winery

★★★★★ 4.9 (19)

"Walking into Ravens Reach you are greeted by Shane the owner and heart of this establishment. Take a minute to appreciate the ambiance. They restored an old craftsmen style building and it has a wonderful 1930s vibe and it makes the experience truly memorable. Their wines are all great. We ended up joining their wine club which offers murder mystery parties. We spent a wonderful afternoon here learning about the grape varietals and the unique wine making style of these two gentlemen who moved from silicon valley to pursue their dreams of making great wine for the masses. I wish I could do the same and after coming here you will too."

Betty Wine Bar & Bottle Shop

★★★★☆ 4.4 (121) • $$

"Back again to this cute place for our weekend date in SacramentoGot the carrot tea which had some ginger and other relaxing gentle tea without caffeine. Chorizo biscuit is 10 out of 5 and I don't even like chorizo. So goodBanana crepe was good too but it comes cold. If it was warm crepes, it may be better. Definitely will fulfill your craving for something sweet for brunch/breakfast. Staff are always accommodating and pleasant. Until next time!"

Ro Sham Beaux

★★★★★ 4.6 (140) • $$

"Stopped here for a glass of wine and a snack before my flight out of SMF and it was nice. The wine bar is inside of a building with other businesses so I had to look around before finding the spot (the front door says Wild Hearts Beauty).The inside is clean and modern, there's a lovely display of all their natural wines. They do half and full glasses of wine which is nice. The lady behind the bar helping me was helpful and shared some recommendations. I ended choosing a chilled red Mago that was yummy.For food, I tried the Cheese Whiz and the Shiitake Chowder, which were both unique and tasty. I recommend both!"

THE 12 Wine Bar & Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (28)

"We came here with friends and family from out of town on Saturday. I have heard of this wine lounge / bike store before Im glad I finally got to try it . Walking in we got greeted by some friendly staff members . The bar area is big and beautiful. They have an area on the back for the bike stuff . They have games and a checkers table I also realized they have Buzztime Tablets for their trivia nights they looked super cool . For drinks we got Sauvignon Blanc my friend got a White Claw . They offer beers and cans stuff like White Caws ect. We realized they have a happy hour I was like on a Saturday? yup ! (Wed-Sat 3pm-6pm )They have nice deals on happy hour taking off $2-$7 bucks off a glass of wine . I got the ROMBAUER glass that normally is $18 for just $12 what a deal ! Their happy hour for food was very reasonable as well! For the food, even the regular menu for me looked very reasonable already . So we ended up ordering the pretzel balls, caprese salad , and the pretzel bun sliders with artichoke dip. Everything was delicious! They have a huge patio outside that was closed the day we went because the day was extremely hot. But I heard they have live music on the weekends and they also do barbecue nights outside. This place is also kid friendly which is good to know . I recommend coming here is was a fun time . Everyone was super nice and attentive love the positive vibes ! The wine and food was delicious. Can't wait to do a patio night soon or a trivia night in the near future !"

The Gold Vine Bistro

★★★★★ 4.5 (173) • $$

"Absolutely amazing lunch today! The golden beet salad with grilled peaches and burrata was amazing! The dressing was awesome, the produce was local. The shrimp I added to my salad was the juiciest and tastiest shrimp I have ever had and I have traveled all over trying seafood. Too die for! My husband had the Lisa Burger which is the biggest burger I've ever seen with pastrami and bacon on it. He ate the whole thing and loved every bite.The server is so sweet and helpful. I absolutely love her.I really like what they are doing here with locally sourced ingredients and a recycle program for leftover food to feed local animals instead of throwing it in the trash. We have watched them grow from the start and they have improved every time we have gone and are really making their mark in this community. We are going to be coming back often."

Pho n Mor

★★★★☆ 4.4 (53) • $$

"We came in for a soup fix to beat this cold weather and right away our expectations were exceeded! We had the whole place to ourselves so service was very fast and food came out in less than 10 minutes.The pho is the better of what I've had in the area and they will definitely be my go-to for bun bo hue as well. They are so generous with the meat and the broth is so rich. Great balance between everything and I love that their menu has a lot to offer while not being overwhelming. The portions are big and priced well! The up charge for changing bowl sizes or adding extra items are all reasonable as well. You pay for what you get!The inside is very spacious and the bar is such a nice touch! The lobby was decorated all cute for the holidays too which adds a nice touch. We will come back and try their taps too. I'm very excited I have a new Vietnamese go-to spot so close to my home!"

Buonarroti Ristorante

★★★★☆ 4 (350) • $$

"I have been to this restaurant a number of times both as a twosome and part of a banquet. I would recommend it it is obviously Italian food. Since the pandemic Daniel, the owner has not been able to hire enough cooks to open for lunch. Service and the ambience is very good."

Berkley Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (53) • $$

"Love the Berkley Bar! Location, location, location! And that is conveniently inside Cafe Bernardo in the beautiful Pavillions Shopping Center. Both the Bar and Cafe are owned and operated by the Paragary family. If you do not want to walk thru the Cafe, you may enter from the outside of the Bar through the beautiful glass doors. The Bar itself is small and intimate. Love that detail! It has clean lines with soft lights, tv for those sport fans and modern, high top tables with comfortable chairs...my fav! A couple of booths too. Can you say, "upscale" feel all the way. What more do you need! There is also a separate outside patio for the bar patrons! It has a real nice vibe. Lovely in the spring and fall.Another plus is the full service feature always going on. It shares the same menu with the Cafe but provides a real person coming to your table taking your order and delivering your food. Unlike certain Cafe hours where you must walk in and self order at the front. Let's talk Happy Hour! May I just say it totally rocks! While the liquor part of the HH is not a huge discount, the Bar Bites portion of the menu is quite a money saver. And your choices are varied and delicious. I must have a photo of it somewhere on my check-ins. I personally love the seasonal pizza. It is $14 regular and half off during HH. Whoa Nelly!:) Nachos, burger sliders, and more. See...the other thing is many restaurants have stopped HH since Covid. Not the Berkley Bar! Customer service at any Paragary establishment is first rate. The same applies here. Loved Marissa and miss her But everyone there is fabulous. At last visit, Sue took care of us marvelously! She was camera shy or I would have her sweet face front and center!So what the heck are you waiting for? Time is a wasting. For the best pour in town and excellent service...Berkely Bar awaits!Cheers!"

Tin Roof Wine Cafe

★★★★★ 4.9 (33)

"We popped in before some wine tasting. My hubby and I split the soup and grilled cheese. The owner was great. Happy to split it for us and frankly when the soup came out I didn't look split. A very good size tasty bowl of tomato soup. Perfect for a fall day. The establishment is clean and the staff were super friendly. I could tell that this place is made with love and the owners clearly care about quality service and food. We will certainly return. Thank you for a great experience."

The One Spot

★★★★★ 4.8 (8)

"Great place and alot of selection. one spot beer and expresso martini is are to die for! There is alot of space and different types of seating which makes it even better. Staff is amazing and accommodating."

Dawson's

★★★★☆ 4.1 (477) • $$$

"Went here for 2025 dine downtown and it was great! The portions of each entree was prefect and wasn't skimping! I was soo full by the end of the night. I got the duck confit pot pie - very very delicious but I would love for it to be a bit hotter in temperature... but I sure would definitely get it again if they add it to their menu! The short rib was delicious. We added a side of the wild mushroom and amazing! It just added to the dish and made it that much better. The dessert Mont Blanc, wasn't what I was expecting but it was delicious! Not too sweet, real creamy and paired very well with a cup of French press coffee! I kept dipping it in the coffee and the aroma was wow! All the service crew was welcoming and great of how service should be! The place feel is fancy"

Creekside Cork & Brew

★★★★☆ 4.4 (117)

"New owner, still amazing. When we first moved here, the vibe and the menu was very different. But that does not mean that the quality of service, and food has declined at all at Creekside Cork & Brew. Still one of our staples, the owner is so kind, and the food is delicious. I'm very happy to have them in our community!"

Kork Sips & Snacks

★★★★★ 4.7 (48)

"Better late than never (this review is long overdue) and Leave it to Yelp to introduce me to Kork #wines #charcuterie #flyforfun #flyforwineRoaming around the Sacramento vicinity and passing a couple hours away, I find this place on Yelp by some person who had an ROTD for this establishment that day. Okay, while Fair Oaks was not my final destination, it was on my way so I decide to stop and check it out (#flyforwine)Cute little establishment sits about 8 maximum on the bar, about another dozen on the floor and a few tables on the patio and that's it!Wine selection very local so you might find something you've not seen anywhere else. I chose their red wine flight. They have the white and rose flights also. Didn't ask about the bubbles but I'm sure they have a bubbles flight as well.While I didn't order it, I did see other patrons with their charcuterie boards that did look pretty darn delicious. If I get back to Kork I might give their charcuterie board(s) a try.Service good while there's only one server and He is the bartender, server, table cleaner and all. Get the picture?Atmosphere is dimly lit, pretty nice "wine" atmosphere if you ask me!So if you're in the Fair Oaks vicinity and looking for a quick wine, this might be the place for you"

Pampas Brazilian Steakhouse Sacramento

★★★★☆ 3.5 (107) • $$$$

"Pampas seems to be improving with every visit. On my most recent visit they hit it out of the park in every category.First, impeccable service. The host was warm and welcoming. He made us feel at home. The different cuts were brought out quickly and served with care. The restaurant has an elegant vibe, but if you're dressed casually they don't hold it against you. Second, the salad bar had all the usual fixins, but if I come here and just eat the candied bacon then I'm a happy man. I don't know how they do it but the crunch, sweetness, and savory flavor all come together to make it irresistible. I have to stop myself from filling up on bacon in order to eat the BBQ which really is the star of the show. The BBQ has REALLY improved since the first time I came here and I'm hoping it will get better and better. My favorite item is the picanha with jalepeno. It's the perfect bite of salty and spicy. Even their non protein items like their garlic toast had the perfect garlic to cheese ratio. In my opinion they have mastered the seasonings. Don't forget to try the pineapple and their cheese with honey drizzle. Sleeper items that don't get as much attention but are on the same level as their meats. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in Sacramento looking for a nice night out with great service and an elegant ambiance who also doesn't want to have to stop on the way home for a burger because they didn't have enough to eat. This place will send you home with a full stomach. Highly recommend."

The Station Public House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (158) • $$

"This is a wonderful restaurant located in Auburn, CA by many little shops and other restaurants too which makes it a prime location. The food is delicious and the service is great; nice friendly and personable servers. For the vegetarians, I recommend the tofu sandwich; so delicious and they also offer a variety of both non alcoholic drinks like ice tea and lemonade and alcoholic beverages too like their tap beers. The ambience is casual and the restaurant offers both outdoor and indoor seating and televisions too so you can watch sporting events while you eat. Love this place. Recommend."

Nectar at The Villa - Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.3 (18) • $$

"Our group visited on a slow Saturday night. The bartender was friendly and in good spirits even though it was slow. The Ambiance is fabulous! Couch group seating, wonderful colors and a good Wine list!"

Hotel Sutter Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (523) • $$

"Cute business the ambience is wonderful The food is amazing and bartender Brandon is natural and knows his trade spot on!!! Very fun experience!!!! We will be back"

Taste of Tuscany

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$

"Great pizza! I've spent the last 10yrs here in the sac area trying to find the best pizza. Everyone says they have the best, but let's best honest, we are all searching for a better one. This one is a the top of the list as far as great pizza. I would have given 5but it's a little pricey. So on occasion I will splurge. Very good"

Shogun Sushi Hibachi

★★★★☆ 3.9 (346) • $$

"Love this place for birthday celebrations! We've been twice in the last year and they are so welcoming and friendly. The food is tasty too! Recommend doing the filet or ribeye if you're into beef. Would like it if they fried the rice longer to give it a crispy texture. It was undercooked to my taste. Will continue to come back for fun ambiance and great service."

Moonrise Pizza

★★★★★ 4.6 (28)

"Do no pass, get your butt to Moonrise. Super delicious, fresh food. The pizzas are so good, reminding me of the amazing Sicilian slices of NYC/Long Island. The dough is light, airy, crispy. The choice of toppings is great and their speciality pizzas are pretty damn good (what up to the Thai inspired pizza).Looking for a lighter meal - the pizza bread paired with a salad is perfect. Just the right amount of indulgence and healthy. The young woman who works the register is a gem! The whole staff are great. Great beer selection too.Like I said at the start of this post, be sure to stop and try this place."

Knights of The Long Ash

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"Knights of the Long Ash is the business I wish existed in my town. Mauricio, the owner, is one of the nicest people you could have the pleasure of meeting. Friendly, easy going and a vast knowledge of all things cigars. He will help find you a wonderful cigar from his nicely stocked store. But that's just the beginning. Light up your cigar and take a seat in the well appointed lounge area or back patio. There, you will meet a group of friendly locals who are looking to chat and get to know you. If you're lucky, you might even meet the "Mayor" of Murphy's and get to see his custom made cigar box guitars.Who remembers the excellent TV show Cheer's? Knights of the Long Ash is Cheers in real life. Don't miss this place!!"

The Shop by Rendez-Vous Midtown Sacramento

★★★★★ 5 (15)

"Great place to hangout. Get takeout or delivery of your favorite meal. The flights are $15. Local wines. The atmosphere is great. Mike is very knowledgeable and very entertaining."

The Nook

★★★★★ 4.7 (44)

"Super cute wine bar perfect for date night. The small plates are great for sharing and so good. I loved the carrots and bone marrow. The tin fish is also really unique. I got the sardines in tomato and really liked it. Im not a wine connoisseur but the selection isn't overwhelming and I liked the glass that I ordered. Service is also great. They allow dogs in the patio."

Omakase Por Favor

★★★★★ 4.6 (34)

"Omakase Por Favor has arrived in Midtown Sacramento, bringing the creative fusion of flavors that made its Lincoln location a standout. During its soft opening, the owner was present, adding a personal touch to the experience and showcasing the passion behind the concept.The seasonal menu highlights fresh seafood and local ingredients, with close ties to vendors from the farmers market conveniently located right outside. Each of the six omakase courses offered elevated and delicate flavors, demonstrating a thoughtful approach to combining cuisines. While the mabo tofu served as the final course was tasty, it felt slightly out of sync with the rest of the lineup. The wine pairing was an excellent addition, featuring unique selections that perfectly complemented the dishes and were a refreshing departure from standard offerings. For those seeking variety, a non-omakase menu is available--but why miss out on the adventure? Trust the chef.Omakase Por Favor earns a well-deserved 5/5 for food, service, price, atmosphere, and location. It's a welcome addition to the Midtown dining scene, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Bravo to the team for an impressive debut!"

Tapa the World

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$

"This is the place I wish I frequented more often while I lived in Sacramento. It is the perfect date spot. The perfect cafe setting. And gem hidden in the City of Trees. Whether you are looking for a quaint restaurant to treat yourself or an intimate setting to treat your better half, Tapa the World should be the first pick on your list. With its Spanish theme a professional service no patron could leave without the fulfillment of both flavor and satisfaction. Good people, great food, romantic atmosphere for any occasion. Tapa the World has my heart in Sacramento."

Garden At The Line

★★★★☆ 4.3 (40) • $$

"cool hang out spot with lots of tables/chairs and fire pit sections to gather around! dog and kid friendly, we went a friday evening a saw a lot of kids playing in the "lot" area and some dogs as well! it wasn't too busy as this place seems relatively new still, so getting a spot wasn't hard, it was great for our big group!Food was decent, gets the job done if you're hungry, ghost kitchen style so there's different places you can choose from.They mainly serve beers, wines, ciders, then a couple of cocktails and non alcoholic drinks. Order drinks at the bar counter inside and there's a QR code at tables for food orders. There's a parking lot to the left of the place, it's a weird, uneven lot so be careful if you have a low riding car. You might scrape it. Good vibes and spacious place, would return for a casual hang out."

Franquette

BOSS 5 STAR LOUNGE

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"The food was great The ambience was to die for. For only being open for a month when I went, can't wait to see in the future how great it can be."

Mezzo

★★★★☆ 4 (325) • $$$

"Stopped by on a Saturday night and it looked pretty busy but got a table for 2 in less than 5 minutes. We received complimentary bread and wow! The bread was super soft and fresh. I would eat 10 plates of their bread! They have specials on top of their main menu. I got the Fettuccine and my boyfriend got the Parmagiano. The portions are great! We definitely were super full. We got a few cocktails. I got the sangria and my boyfriend got the Pineapple Screwdriver. They were delicious and great price! I would recommend!"
