Scarlet's Saloon

This place has such a fun vibe! Neon lights everywhere, including the light up dance floor. Our group got there before they had a cover charge so there weren't a ton of people, but it's one of the few places we went to that had A/C. Our drinks weren't super fancy, but we enjoyed them.

Thursday night. Not terribly busy by a long stretch. Bartender continually skips over me. I wait forever while I'm skipped over despite trying to be assertive. Eventually, I leave to the next bar over because I've waited so long in a very *not* crowded bar. Later in the night, I go back to the bar because there's no one there. The bartender proceeds to poor me a drink with a SPLASH of actual alcohol. I know what you're thinking: Clearly, you were very drunk and he was trying to be covertly responsible. I assure you, I was/am *extremely* not drunk. Charged me full price for a literal splash of tequila. Maybe he read my frustration (I said nothing) previously while waiting for a drink. Idk. But it's been a shitty experience. It's not remotely crowded enough for this level of service, and I am the most patient, good-natured customer usually. One of the bartenders was good tho. Shout out to him.

To say that I love this place is an understatement. I LOVE this place because this is a place that cares about their customers. I lost my Apple Watch here for 2 days and when I went to collect it at 10pm on a Tuesday they had it there safe and sound for me. My friend and I had a fantastic time at their New Years event and the life bands are INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend this place for a great experience of partying and dancing! Special notes: Wear closed Toe Shoes! Bring cash! (But they have ATMS) Be nice to the bar tenders, they're very kind. They only have 2 bathrooms -prepare accordingly If you have questions go in person to ask because their phone lines are pretty busy. 10/10

I've been coming here for over 10 years. Joel quickly became my favorite bartender and takes amazing care of me. A friends' husband works security here (Jesse). There's another security guard with a beard and stash whose name I don't remember but he's great as well. There is a newer male bartender with glasses whom I've had two bad interactions with. I was asking to buy a bottle of Vueve and he responded with "This is a bar! Does it look like we have food here?" I let Joel know since he's also the manager. Clearly if anything was said to him it didn't stick bc the next time I went in and he was the only bartender not in training he was very rude to myself and my date. We even said we wanted to be served by the blonde trainee in an effort to not have to deal with him. He either hates women and/or the LGBTQIA+ community as well. Wonder if he's why so many people say this place is homophobic now? He's definitely made me think twice if I want to go there or not. Scarlett's has already had to cut back their days open. Can you really afford to lose what customers you have left because you allow an employee to mistreat regulars?

The Mumm cocktail they served for Sip N Stroll was awesome Joel's cocktail mix was delicious. Great brunch mimosa drink. Joel and Jessie were awesome and so cute in their dressy attire. Great service. Not sure if they will keep it on the menu, but if they do, you should try the Mumm Mimosa Cocktail! Do you serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays?

Great staff, drinks and vibes. Never had a bad time coming here. For drinks, let the bartenders make you something fun. I promise you'll like it!

Stop in at Scarlet's when you're night walking on Sutter street. It's a compact bar but lots of fun and a great place to nurse a beer. Later in the evening, the music comes up and it becomes night club; dance floor, DJ and all. The capable and knowledge bar staff includes Joel; a great bartender who knows his craft and can guide you through the substantial collection spirits on display.

The blonde manager was told by the surrounding bar WE were "too much trouble" to enter. However, we never went the bar they claimed we came from "The hotel". We had a staff member come from "The hotel" come with us to Scarlet's entrance (as seen in photos) to explain we were the "wrongly identified" "from the trouble makers", but the "ridiculously rude" blonde manager took a look at us, and said "they" aren't welcome. I grew up in Folsom and my 21st bday was at Scarlet's and I've never experienced prejudice/ignorance like this before. I looked at the bouncer in disbelief. (Which whom is displayed in the 2nd photo with the beard) then he just laughed at the manger's response! Which then my remark was "FINE, we don't need to spend our money here anyways!" Which the bouncer didn't like....we shortly left... HONESTLY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!! Sutter club was 100000 times better! Scarlets do better!

We popped in for the first time on a Wed night. This place was happening! Great live music venue. We really enjoy ourselves and the drink prices weren't bad. Only qualm is how long it takes to get in the door with the picture, etc, but great once we got in.

I have been going to Scarletts for the past 4 years but I haven't been back since Winter 2021. I debated on posting but feel something needs to be said to warn others not to go. I don't know what happened it used to be great, maybe a change of staff? In just one night here is what happened... 2 of my friends were roofied, 1 ended up in the hospital. When we were leaving the bar, walking down the ramp, one of my friends was pretty intoxicated so she was moving at a slower pace then if she were sober, but we were moving, you could tell we were leaving. Well, the bouncers decided we weren't moving fast enough and decided to start pushing my very intoxicated friend, which after a few pushes led her to falling on the ground. My fiancé at this point stepped in because they never should have pushed her in the first place. Well, 4 bouncers jumped on my fiance and weren't just holding him down, they were ALL punching him. When I tried to pull the bouncers off I got punched and shoved to the ground by the bouncers. The bouncers should be there to make sure everyone is safe but instead they did the exact opposite. The bouncers escalated a situation that should have never even happened. Photo to show one of my bruises from the bouncers. There were a lot more. AVOID THIS BAR. There are many better options in Folsom with bouncers who aren't on a power trip and actually care about your safety.
