Malt & Mash Irish Pub

Came here on a date about 2 weeks ago for the first time. To be honest, I liked watching the kings game here vs the arena. The tv is so high quality it feels like you have a better view.Bartender was legit. I'm sure he'll remember me cause I told him I was on a first date and my date was wearing too much perfume and I needed a stiff one to get me past the nausea it was giving me.

I remember when this bar used to be the best local bar in the area. Now the NEW management is forgetting what made this bar great in the first place. The manager rather lean up against the bar and Mico manage instead of serving customers.We've came here a few times when hes the only one working, and there's only a handful of customers and it took us over 20 minutes for him to serve us.

Nice place to hangout! It wasn't too busy for a Saturday night. We found seats pretty quickly (:

We've tried coming here oue last few trips to Sac, they were closed each time (covid). Bartender at Station 16 told us to give them a try, so we wandered down. The Bartender (though was one of his last shifts :( ) was knowledgeable without being a know it all, was honest on a few we asked about. Not the biggest selection around, but overall great selection for whatever style whiskey you're looking for. Wasn't overly loud, though I'm sure once the concert let out across the street it would be.

We stopped in at Malt & Mash after meeting up with some friends for a late night drink after their concert at DOCO got out. Oddly it was only one of a few spots that were open past 11pm on a Tuesday, which I get. Tuesdays aren't exactly a turn up night. We were greeted by their doorman who never cracked a smile and seemed super intimidating, but I guess that's his job. Inside was dark with some booth seating and bar top style tables. There was a decent sized crowd of people but I'm assuming a vast majority of them came from the concert that had just let out not too long ago. I had a spiced pear hot toddy cause it was cold AF outside and it knocked my socks off. It was so delicious, warm and just hit the spot. I ended up having 3 in the short time were were there because they called last call around 12-12:30. I will say the bathroom situation everyone keeps mentioning is odd. There is a keypad but since it was fairly busy it was easy to catch someone coming out so we never had to ask for a code but we did watch people struggle. Only other thing I wasn't too keen on was the choice of music, it was country. Not my type of thing, but no big deal. Overall not too bad of a spot, and we'd stop in again especially for that spiced pear toddy!

Walked in before our comedy show and it was pretty quiet in the place. We ordered drinks and sat watching the basketball games. Overall environment was fun. Smoking was allowed on the patio area which filtered into the bar which wasn't great. The drinks were good and we enjoyed the short visit.

This place is another reason why downtown sacramento bars and restaurants are struggling. Everyone appears like they don't want to work. Won't be giving this place another chance.

I am writing a review to serve as a warning. A bartender told my husband 3 times they didn't have his credit card. My husband had just made the purchase and knew for a fact they had his card. He then asked the second bartender if his card was there. Lo and behold, it was there and they had it. The first bartender had 3 security guards literally throw him in the street. He weighs less than 200lbs and wasn't combative. They didn't ask him to leave so he didn't have an opportunity to exit the place himself.The best part is when I called them they made animal noises into the phone . I called them to ask when a good time would be to speak to their manager or what method I could use to reach out to address this use of excessive and unnecessary force and they made animal noises and hung up on me.Tldr; watch out. This place is dishonest, does not value their customers, and may or may not try to keep your credit card. I don't feel safe there and you provably aren't either.

Showed up to meet the girls after the Madonna show and I guess one of the bartenders was having a bad night. He was pissy and his PH factor was at 10 or more, so I let it go, but dude was a complete and utter prick. I tipped him nine bucks on a eight dollar beer just to illustrate what a garbage barkeep he is. Look for the sassy kid with the angry look on his face. Up yours, dude. I'll be back and I'll tip you generously because you don't deserve it, but hey, I don't want you to starve. Prick. Had a great time every other visit to this bar, but homie must have been on his period.

RACIST!!I went NKOTB concert then to Tiger had 2 drinks then my friend wanted a shot there the door guy said-he saw me stumble which was a lie I I walked across the street from Tiger and had my white girlfriend who he did not say anything to! Also some Asian girl from inside clearly not sober asked him something and he let her stay inside. I suggested give me a breathalyzer or test he refused. I am biracial and never felt so discriminated until tonight. The worst place ever for a diverse area. The door guy was bald and I will post his pink head picture in all my social media as well revisit this establishment with other minorities to see if this is a 1 time incident or a norm to be prejudice! Yes we can go
