House Divided

Where do I start? The atmosphere is everything you'd expect from a speakeasy. The entrance through an alley way, the dim lighting, and the decor made the experience all the better. The bar was pretty busy, yet the bartenders were quick and attentive. To say the drinks were fantastic is an understatement! These drinks were literal art. This is definitely a place I will be recommending!!

This is true speak easy type of a cocktail establishment! There's no sign outside whatsoever. The only thing that gave away was the not so easy speaking voices from inside through a window. You got to knock on the door and tell a password which is available from their Instagram account. Absolutely cool! The cocktails were amazing. We had 4 different kinds and all of these were great. Tasty, balanced and with a kick! Pure joy. The service was prompt and polite. They are professionals that know what they are doing. The ambience is fully speak easy like. Notice that there are not many seats available, the place is small. Wear comfortable shoes to stand. Nobody was drunk, mostly couples having cocktails after dinner, so not a dive bar. Most people were dressed nicely. Just adults having a good time and minding their own conversations. I didn't notice any food at all. Didn't ask either. It seemed nobody was there for any snack.

I love this place! I came here with a friend looking to catch up and this speakeasy is such a hidden gem! I came over here the night before thanksgivings.I got 2 drinks, the pomegranate martini and lavender lemon drop. I'm more inclined to the sweeter and sour drinks and I love these.The bar is bustling and loud, lots of like animals on their walls. I felt like I'm in a cabin with my pals and it's a snowy day in and we're getting drunk.Loved it and will come back!

To those of you searching for one of those true hole-in-the-wall speakeasy dive bars in the greater Sacramento area, do yourself a favor and definitely give "House Divided" a try. I have a real passion for these types of places; everything from the retro look with distressed furniture to the exclusive and rare varieties of special whiskies, bourbons, and scotch liquors. Located in the heart of Old Roseville and at the corner of Lincoln St. and Washington Blvd., this place has been operating since mid-2023 while neighboring "FourScore Coffeehouse".To get here takes a little bit of investigated work in the sense that the address is not where you think it is. In fact, from Lincoln St., this place looks like an empty building with no customers. However, the entry point to House Divided is down an alley. And this alley boasts a green door with no outside security. This is where you "knock" on the door and a staff member asks you for the password. Since I had mentioned investigated work, this means you go to their Facebook or Instagram page where the password is given for that select night. I also wanted to add that this place is closed on Sunday & Monday; however, they are open for business Tuesday through Saturday from 4:00-11:00pm.As for the interior layout of this place, it is quite small to a point where they only allow so many people in at a time. And there are no windows here as the brick building shields you from any lights or outside elements from getting inside. Everything about this place looks like you've stepped back in time to the Prohibition-era with vintage photos, a deep oak bar area, and some classic aged liquors that go as far back as the early-1900's. You won't find your typical modern liquors here as the staff here has done the painstaking task of providing such an amazing and eclectic variety.I actually came here with my lady on my birthday which was the evening of Saturday 11/30/2024 at around 8:30pm. It was a packed house and every single seat was taken. Since I wanted to try a real-deal bourbon drink, I went with their "Proper Old Fashioned". This cocktail was made with aged bourbon/rye complete with Angostura bitters simple cherry & orange syrup. I will say that their specialty cocktail & old fashioned menu is quite eclectic with the perfect amount of options to cater to everyone taste bud. My drink hit the spot as this rivals some of the top speakeasy bars found in Chicago and New York City.All in all, "House Divided" is an excellent and classic speakeasy bar that I highly recommend. It does get loud; especially during Friday/Saturday nights and finding a seat may not be a guarantee. But the bartenders/hostesses and everyone that works here do an amazing job in serving the customers in a quick and timely manner. With that said and done, I am giving House Divided a perfect and unanimous five-star rating. Cheers!

This is an awesome concept and they did a great job with the inside decor. I do love emerald green and gold. The drinks were delicious. The biggest drawback is that there is nowhere to sit. It is a tight space and people were either bumping into me or I had to stay glued to the bar.

Sending off our best and most enjoyed executive chef in style. House Divided is a classy place, not a rowdy clientele. Dark lighting, excellent housemade cocktails made with craft and style. Staff is friendly and nice. Cheers to you Chef.

Ambiance: 4/5Service: 5/5Food: n/aDrinks: 5/5Price: 5/5Gabbie was the primary bartender working tonight, and she did a fantastic job. Her and the doorman (who is also a bartender) were both very friendly and informative about the bar's offerings. I enjoyed the small, intimate setting, and we can't wait to come back.

Very fun place. I've been to better speakeasy's but this was fun. Drinks were very well done with a lot of thought and unique flavors. Service was great but I wish they were more on theme. You're paying a premium for the experience, get in character. Definitely will be back, once i find the others in the area.

Okay so I been to the Candy Shop Speakeasy in downtown Roseville (Daniellos) but I had never heard of this one House Divided apparently they been open for two years now and it's been such a secret that I didn't know about it and I'm sure a lot of people don't either . Well, it's time to let everyone know because it was awesome and I want my Yelp friends and everyone to come check it out. You will not see any signs or anything but I will let u know how to find it okay here we go .. It's right behind Fourscore Coffee shop in the heart of downtown Roseville. You will see the door I posted a picture of and u will knock and someone will ask you for a password . I had difficulty finding it online I thought I had it but it was a different one luckily the young lady helped me with the password and I got in .. Walking in this place is so 1920's small but very cute with plenty of bar and table seatings. They got 1920s music playing in the background coming out of an old radio. The ambience is amazing! They have a seasonal cocktail menu and two regular menus. They do not serve food here, but there's so many places around there that you could walk that do. They have a cute clean bathroom u can see the brick wall it's painted red . Idk I pay attention to details I thought it was cute and clean . All the drinks were 10/10 craft cocktails . They also offer Eagle Rare and other good bourbons and more .. The staff is amazing starting from Gabby who open the door for the password to the mixologist Jason and Mariah . Everyone was super friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back very soon . I highly recommend !

I loved the entrance and the fun way to find the password (instagram). It was small and cozy. Nothing fancy but definitely comfortable. We had Jason as our bartender and he made the two best cocktails I've ever had. I do wish they had snacks or something but I can imagine it would be difficult in the small space. Will definitely be back. Must try: Lavender lemon drop and whiskey sour.
