Press Club

We went there for Disco Brunch, but when Veronica called to get information - she was told the event have been canceled. Since Veronica was an awesome host/bartender with a great attitude and very welcoming. We stayed!

We were in the area to go to Morning Fork for breakfast. The line to get in was over 30 minutes long so we walked down the street and ran into the press club offering brunch. We looked at the posted menu and decided to go in. It was nearly empty and dark. It's not the most inviting brunch place I've been too. I had no idea they served food, I though they were just a music club. We didn't want to wait for Morning Fork so we took our chance.We were greeted a the door from the bar and were told we could sit anywhere. We picked a table one row away from the window. Still light from the sunlight. We were given waters and menus immediately. The menu was different than the ones posted in the window. I ordered the eggs Benedict with Brisket and the standard Holliday sauce not the chipotle type. There was a medium wait for our dishes. A little slower than expected due to there was so few people in there. They have a good size dining area. There were 3 other parties when we arrived.I was not served the eggs Benedict with Brisket. I was served the chicken dish with Holliday sauce. It was missing the Brisket and English muffin. It just had poached eggs, holliday sauce, a minimal amount of chicken, and potatoes. I was very disappointed being served the wrong meal, but didn't say anything as I didn't want to wait for them to remake it and didn't notice I had the wrong dish till after I started eating it. I felt it was too late to say something and I didn't want to be that complaining customer and I didn't want to put up a fuss in front of my cousin. My cousin ordered the dish I was served but, with the chipotle Holliday sauce on the side. She was served it with the sauce on top. So they didn't get either order right. My dish was still tasty, but I was hungry and really wanted that brisket and English muffin. Even with the mix up the dish was tasty. The poached egg came out hard, the yoke was soft on one of the eggs and fully cooked on the other.The ambiance lacked the perky brunch feel, you felt like you were in a night club. I would have not eaten there if the Morning Fork didn't have such a long line and we didn't drive so far. If I knew of anther place I would have gone there.The waitress was very professional and perky and checked on us many times. They didn't rush us out of there. The place seemed clean just dark. I'm not sure I'd come back due to the ambiance and the mix up of the orders and the sauce being put on top and not on the side as specified. The waitress did realize there mix up on the sauce and offered to take it back. So that was nice of her.

I finally checked out press club yesterday after wanting to go out and not wait! There's plenty of breakfast spots in Sacramento but they're always busy. I remember yall have brunch and stopped in for a good bite. We were 1 or 2 in the restaurant so it made for a nice quiet brunch. Our waitress lovely and very kind. Loved her tattoos!! We got the breakfast burger to split and the Belgian waffle. Both pretty delicious. Definitely will stop by for wings some day soon and comedy

The only reason you're getting four stars on this Yelp is because we enjoyed the show and the food was fantastic. The only complaint I have is that the first time I walked in there it smelled like pee, and the door was left wide open for the pee, smell to come in if it's a buffet place or a place that serves food the door should remain closed when I brought it to the attention of the lady upfront. She seemed offended as if she owned the place instead of being more professional and apologizing For the smell. I clarified to her that inside of the restaurant I did not smell the pee, however, it would make common sense for you to have a plug-in or something so that customers don't have to smell urine upon entering the establishment and the lady upfront needs some customer service training. With that said, I will return with my friends to enjoy the show and the food. Please invest in some plug-ins near the front door and near the funky reception area. It might help her mood a little bit Siri type this up for me so punctuation and such was not fixed.

Came here for Emo Night. At first (8p) there was maybe 25 people. At about 1030, there was probably 100. It was a blast! I've been to other emo nights and this one was fun even tho there wasn't a live band this time. Drinks weren't as bad as other reviews say. Customer service was cool. There were 2 really clean single person bathrooms. There's a liquor store maybe 200 ft if u need anything.There were lasers, fog, and passionate people. Music was loud. My heart rate was high. But even more, my emo thirst was quenched.

Large variety of music genres... From emo night to tropical nights... Good place to come have fun and drinks. Food as well

Glad To Be Back In This HoodSITREPI've been hitting Press Club since the late 90s (wayyyy back in my pre-Yelp days before 2010). Since I've been yelping, I wrote my last review (2-Stars) back in early 2012, more than six (6) years ago. It was a time of decline in my enjoyment of this venue at the end of a personal run of about 15 years - it was just time to say "goodbye". But as is the way of the world, "Everything Crashes", and sometimes for the better - fresh starts happens, romances are rekindled - and now the last couple of months I've been coming BACK to check out the latest musical offerings on some really fun kick-ass nights.Consequently, to be fair, I've "Blitzed" getting this update finished.THE SETUPThere are some duos of DJs I really enjoy following and, as it turns out, Press Club is the home of their event nights. So I would be remiss in not coming here as long as they are DJs-in-residence, and also in giving Press Club an updated shout-out for recognizing these multitalented folks.In order of Press Club's event-resurgence for me: * "BLITZED" On monthly Thursdays now in Nov and Dec, DJ Dada (aka Michael G.) and DJ Lady Grey (aka Kylie J.) spin the moods & tones, in & out of Post-Punk along with healthy tracks of synth, minimal, new & dark wave along with some mutant disco realms.https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/press-club-sacramento?select=8l11RY6bCPtXSC5yol20pQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w It's the kind of format where while dancing your mind spins along on a transcendental rhythmic plane. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/press-club-sacramento?select=GeKlCzRLQ4mygJgWRxjHRQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w And I love their complementary styles! Dada is an experience, consummate DJ I've known almost as long as I've been in Northern California (32 years - born, raised & graduated high school in D.C. before going Westward) - he brings an indepth knowledge of musicology that is a treat to listen to like a layered dessert. Lady Grey is *BREAKS* the norm, with almost an invigorating youthful brashness, mixing it up, cross formatting, cross-genres. I love their teamwork.* "EVERY THING CRASH" My friend - AND fellow Yelper - DJ Reggaedelic (aka Nina C.) is part of duo bringing some of the best Funk and Reggae on the event night "EVERY THING CRASH!" https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/press-club-sacramento?select=i6kAJB1JpqRwgThaL6OmYw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0wWhat a blast and a half to be swept away by the rhythmic Caribbean vibe!https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/press-club-sacramento?select=98rRyetYqRJUuYdtkhMkoA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w* "BOOGIE A GO GO" And then DJ Reggaedelic makes a REappearance behind the mixing board with her BEST BUDDY DJ Annimal (aka yelper Ann T.) for Boogie A Go Go's ALL VINYL DANCE PARTY! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/press-club-sacramento?select=mptmbnlTh-zhU4fLxE9GsA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w The 2 dynamic ladies "bring it" with their fusion "one-two-*punch*" format, where DJ Annimal kills it with 1960s garage, pop, and bubblegum.https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/press-club-sacramento?select=w5vb68r45_hqj07zdIh09Q&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w And then DJ Reggaedelic knocks it outta the park with her 1960s Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/press-club-sacramento?select=wGB_SfPw5piLKzflN7qbrg&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w It's adorable to see them LUG in their crates of original vinyl - 45s to albums. [In some twisted dreamy beach movie, I see them STILL jumping up and down on one of their beds, playing records on their Scooby Doo player, sharing their 45s like they were in 7th grade.] Like me, these muses are avid Yelpers, and we really bonded over the Yelp Halloween party and so naturally I've been *stalking* their musical gigs since.... :DTHE BARThe drinks are some of the most reasonably priced you can find anywhere in the Downtown Sac arena. So take advantage of them!https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/press-club-sacramento?select=e8fzdTbotLL-EJmrx9wuTw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0wTHE LOWDOWNA venue that has REappeared on my radar and I will enjoy as long as it remains relevant to my music joys and loyal to my favorite DJs. You should too, so make sure to "Boogie (a Go Go)" on over to Press Club!

It's been a while since I've gone out dancing, but my girlfriends knew where to go. We got in before cover charge, and by 11, the space was starting to flow with lots of newcomers. On this given Saturday, I would put the average attendee's age as low- to mid-20s, making me on the higher end of the age range but still fun. The DJ for the night - I think his name was DJ Hawk - did a good job playing top 40 along with what I knew as top 40 a full decade earlier. (Ha!) The sound quality in the club isn't stupendous, but the vibe was pretty chill and fun.The cash only aspect of the bar is a bummer. I know a lot of businesses do this, but it's tough when you might be going out for the night. That being said, it didn't look like the bar had a lot of trouble keeping busy!

The music was on point, all the employees were friendly, and it was full of beautiful people. They should allow leather vests and jackets in however.

Decided to check out the Press Club. If you're college student, then this place is for you. Ambiance is ok, drinks are crap, sticky bar, sticky tables and sticky floors, perfect combination for $5 cover charge after 9pm. Will never go again.
