Pitch and Fiddle

I think the location of this place is so random...meaning you don't expect it to be tucked in a strip mall next to a Big Lots store. I was expecting it to be dark and disappointing...NOPE! 100% wrong!Ambiance was surprisingly awesome! It is clean, lively, and fun! Always have the games on and PLENTY of TV's to view no matter where you are sitting. Food (bar food) and cocktails are both consistently good! I would not recommend going for just the food or just the cocktails or only to watch the games...but all of those together makes a great time and great place. It can get busy and the servers cannot always be super attentive BUT be FLEXIBLE and you will have a great time. We try to arrive earlier for the game to get a table.Great for large parties. Great sports bar! Recommend!

Went here recently for a friend's 30th birthday. Pitch and Fiddle is located in a shopping center so it's easy to find a spot to park or get dropped off/picked up by Uber. Our group ordered the wings, mozzarella sticks and various plates of food ranging from steaks to burgers. All of us had no complaints - good pub food and nice selection of drinks and beer. We all agreed that the wings were our favorite part of our meal so definitely order some! Our server was incredibly kind and checked in on our large group often. I'm rating Pitch and Fiddle a 2/5 simply because:1. They ran out of Guinness on a Saturday. 2. Menus were outdated and many items on the menus were out of stock.3. Bartenders were not keeping tabs on their guest's alcohol consumption. I know...it's a bar. I know...it was a Saturday...it was 5:45pm and one guest had already thrown up on a separate party behind us. It took over 15 minutes for the staff to fully clean it up after being made aware of the situation. About an hour later (6:45pm), another guest had fallen from having too many drinks and pulled down some picture frames on themselves. I've been a bartender before and know how uncomfortable it can be to cut people off, BUT for their patron's safety, it's a must. I promise - I'm not a party pooper, I just don't want Pitch and Fiddle to have to deal with any serious issues. All in all, it was a memorable night at Pitch and Fiddle.

Located in the Big Lots parking lot so there is ample parking. Inside is kind of small but still roomy, if that makes sense. It's long and narrow but lots of booth seating lining the wall and a few high tops in the center. When we arrived there was some kind of fight on the TV's so it was pretty crowded and we had wiggled our way to very back to find a seat. Thankfully it was the end of the fight so the place cleared out within 15 minutes. We were informed the kitchen was closing and all drink orders needed to be ordered at the bar as table service was no longer happening. No big deal. What I didn't like was that the waitress who informed us of this as soon as we sat down, didn't even bother to clean off the dirty and sticky table we snagged up. We ended up asking the bartender for a wet towel and cleaned it ourselves. Drinks were very watered down. We had Tito's and pineapple juice and we saw him pour the proper amount of vodka but the pineapple juice was almost transparent and pineapple juice is normally a thicker consistency and very yellow. They do have a TouchTunes to play music on but we noticed a song would start playing and halfway through it would skip to the next song. If I'm paying for a song only to have someone skip it before it's over, I'd be pissed. They also have 2 dart boards inside by the restroom. We didn't play, but it appeared they were steel tipped darts and not the crappy plastic ones. Overall, it's what's expected of a typical dive. Hit or miss service, low key dirty and dingey and full of locals. Although it's kinda far from my house, if in the area again, I'd return. The pictures on here of the food look pretty good so I'd be willing to return and give the food a shot.

My husband and I have been coming here for years. I love how they always have one tv tuned onto something cute and funny. Like reels, or shows like Ridiculousness. I'm not a huge sports fan, so I love how I get to be entertained while my husband watches the games. The food never disappoints, and the bartenders know exactly how to make a good drink.

I have gone here a few more times and have really enjoyed it! We have sat at the bar mostly and once at a booth, and the service has been great. They make sure we have drinks quickly. The food does take a while, but it was completely expected. I also love all the TVs that play games or animal videos. I definitely love going here!

Food: 4/5 Fries: 5/5 Their fries are really crisp & salty.Steak sandwich: 4/5 Good cook on the meat but it just felt like it was missing some sort of acidity or vegetable. Not the biggest fan of the bun they used.Grilled cheese with pastrami: 5/5 Love the crunch on the grilled cheese. Good amount of meat added.Service: 4/5 You'll likely have to go get your server because of how busy this place can get.Ambiance: 5/5 Love the amount of tv's & energy in the place.

Great place to watch sports with lots of TVs and neighborhood vibe. They had both Sac Kings basketball and NFL on a recent Thursday evening with a good size crowd. Food is good quality and tasty. Tucked away in a corner with easy parking in commercial center. We tried the Westie burger which was delicious! Patty is well seasoned and comes loaded with bacon, two kinds of cheese (these were not fully melted) and fried onions (these were cold) plus a large side of hot salted French fries. We also tried their Mac & Cheese with pastrami. Portions are large.

"You had me at Irish Bar"Truer words have never been spoken when convincing me of a new location. Having lived here many years ago and using the parking lot as a starting point for biking on the American River, I can't believe I have ignored this place for so long.Parked in a corner next to the big lots it can be easy to miss this place but it is really a nice little Irish Pub. Visiting on a this Thursday afternoon I was surprised to find it decently busy but service was still great and relatively quick despite the crowd. Speaking of crowds, the people inside were a pretty fun and chill crowd. Our server was really friendly and helped us with picking out decent drinks.The food was surprisingly good for a bar and worked well with the drinks. Definitely a place worth checking out!

I am from London, England and have searched for years for good fish and chips. The only restaurant that is comparable is Pitch and Fiddle. They use best cod and make the perfect batter. They also change the oil every day! It is definitely the place to go for good fish and chips! It is a friendly warm and welcome environment. I just love it.

We usually come here for lunch to celebrate birthdays but were aren't regulars. It was one of my dad's favorite. Recently he passed away & it was his birthday. So I came to have his favorite meal & a beer in his honor. I was the 1st one in when they opened. I picked a seat at the bar. I assume the owner gave me a great welcome & thanked me for coming in. The bartender was very sweet & fun. I ordered the fish & chips. It was fresh & crispy yet light & delicious! The fries were great & a lot. A couple of guys came in, clearly regulars on business lunch. The "owner" asked them if they wanted a shot on him & he looked at me & said, "what about you?" I said yes. He said "woohoo alright!" On a day where I was sad, they put a smile on my face & made me feel like it was meant to be! This will be my tradition to celebrate him from now on!
