Goldfield Trading Post

I absolutely love this place. I am big on drinks when going to a show. I've never had an issue awaiting longer than five minutes. Hell, not even longer than two minutes when the club is completely sold out the bartenders are great. They are fast. They are accurate. Sure it could be a little cramped when sold out, but hey that's a part of going to live music.you get a drink or two spit on you? That's also a part of going to live music and you don't like people or you don't like getting drinks spilled on you stay home live a , miserable life. don't go to a concert. I absolutely love this venue and will continue to support this venue as long as I'm here.

We came for a Rock Concert! The service was great I had one drink , it wasn't watered down . This was my first Rock experience and they did not disappoint, the vibe was insane! I experienced a mosh pit and head banging

This review is for Goldfield Trading Post as a concert venue only. I have partaken of the bevvies, but not of any food offerings they may have. The short of it is that I love coming to this smaller but still decently sized venue for shows, and the only flaw is the tight space getting through the crowd if you need to go from one side of the floor to the other, between the (full, yes) bar and the stage. With the way this place is designed, there's no way around this and I get that. As bottlenecks go, I prefer this venue greatly over their J Street Downtown sister space. I prefer to post up in the right side balcony here because the view overhead is so spectacular if you can get there early enough to be at the railing. My friends and I were just here for Holding Absence's first headlining tour (we were the first in the US to give them a sold out show too, props Sacramento area fans!) with Casey and Capstan this past weekend, and a little over a year ago, I came here for Counterparts with Dying Wish and SeeYouSpaceCowboy. Both shows were fantastic. They have a really nice sound system, and the staff and security are cool from what I've personally experienced. They have a wide floor plan that offers as good a view as possible even for short people honestly, without crap in the way to obstruct the stage. If you're gonna mosh, space is limited and it gets wild. I'm old and have back problems, so go be extra for me, take care of each other. Drinks are not as expensive as other local venues, which is always a plus. They are smaller plastic cups, but not weak pours. Bartenders are cool. Bottles of water are $3. Tickets are sold through SeeTickets, which has an app, but will also provide ticket barcodes that scan directly from your confirmation email. I paid $20-$30 for each ticket. I have not used the app. They start at GA, but VIP is available. From what I gather, this is a seated area on one or both balconies. For one show I saw this set up on the right balcony, but not the other, which meant I had a perfect view that time. The other time, I could still see decently. They have two small screens in the balcony areas, so you could watch that way if it's too crowded. There are windows up here you could open for air, but they don't have screens, so do so at your own risk. Bathrooms are small, and run low on TP, so plan ahead there. It is a fight through the crowd to get to the bathrooms unless you are already on the left of the stage. They have a large smokers pen outside which you enter and exit using a glass slider. The venue is pretty cool by design in a lot of ways. It fits in well in this area of Roseville and I hope it continues to draw people in. As I said earlier in this again much too long and rambly review, I prefer this location to the one closer to me. Parking: This area of Old (ish) Roseville is kinda dead in spots so it shouldn't be an issue to find parking a few blocks from the venue. There is *free* street parking on Vernon and on Atlantic, which runs behind the venue. Be wary of the traintracks; if you aren't used to the area they can send you in circles if you're driving or walking in from certain directions. Do not mess around with driving tipsy over here between the trains and the PD, it's not a good idea on top of what is already not a good idea. Use rideshare or carpool with a DD.

Bands don't start on time, they leave you outside in a line far past starting time and they don't let you in and out even though you've paid a lot of $ to see a band and you're a full grown adult. They also pack the place to the point that it is a severe fire hazard. I wouldn't recommend coming here

This is a fantastic spot to catch a show. They offer a well-stocked bar and a restaurant if you're feeling hungry. Head upstairs for a meal, and afterward, you can either move up to the front for the show or stay on the second level for a better view.

I liked it here. It was our first time! Bartenders were friendly. My lemon drop was amazing! Pretty much standing room only for a concert unless you reserve seating upstairs. But who sits at a concert?!?! There was a fight that broke out but security was on it. Not one time did I not feel safe. Woman's bathroom was clean, too. I already got tickets to see another show here in July! Great place!

Just went to our second concert here and this is by far our favorite venue in the Sacramento area. Parking is easy and free in a garage a hop, skip, and jump away. The staff is friendly and we love the vibe. The smoking area is great bc you can still see the stage. We hope we can see a show here again soon!

The poor reviews for the Trading Post are very disappointing. This place is impressive and gives you an up-close experience with the bands. I took my daughter to see Escape the Fate and Stitched Up Heart; what a fantastic concert! She was right in the front, pressed against the gate; like an old man, I chose to get an assigned seat with a server that brought me all the drinks I needed to enjoy the music. The bands rocked! The service is excellent! The food partnership may need some work to expand the offerings, but it is a worthwhile experience. Rock on everyone!

Update from my last review: I appreciate the offer of tickets to a tribute show to make up the missed Yngwie Malmsteen show that we missed because of how late the show started because of a tour bus issue they had no control of. But I also purchased the upgraded seats for an additional $50 that I paid Goldfields directly. It would have been the first time doing. We were hoping it would be a great chance to see if we would want to do it for future shows. They won't honor the seat upgrade that I purchase for the free tickets they offered us. I'm disappointed. At this point they have made extra money on us and the free tickets do not hold much value and more.

Huh! I could've sworn that YELP was designed for people to give their honest OPINIONS! My last review for Goldfields was unfavorable to say the least. But it's my OPINION!So when people have to rebut my opinion, it only shows the childishness of their being. Telling me that if I didn't like it then don't go. Guess what, I won't!It was very cold, windy and rainy that night. My tickets said doors open at 7:00 pm, then why did we have to wait in a block long line at 7:45. By the time we were even close to the door, the band had already started. Why do we have to contend with people buying 3 and 4 drinks at a time and spilling half of them. Why does Goldfields charge an extra $25.00 per person for a seat? This place has a bad business model and needs to change. Just my opinion.I'm done. Never again.
