The Limelight

Realizing that I left the review of the cardroom on the cafe, I needed to post this here...Limelight is a boutique cardroom that has a good selection of games. No rake fee at all to play.Be sure to sign up for the players card to earn Freeplay, matchplay and meals at the cafe.It's a fun atmosphere. I felt safe visiting here even though I was here less than an hour. Patrols and dealers socialize and are super friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Downtown. You can walk or take a ride share. I imagine this place gets packed during the weekend. Be back soon!

63 years old?!!! OMG! I'm sure it was the "limelight" at a past point in time and now it's just old, dingy and crying for a remodel. Some might call say it has character but with spanking new spots like Sky River, Hard Rock, Thunder Valley and Stones, I won't be returning just based on comfort and taste. Also the area isn't safe anymore with all the homeless around. Saw a guy with a sharp metal object strapped to his belt strap on the street. He could snap at anytime and attack innocent bystanders! Glad there was parking in the tiny lot closest to the entrance or else I would not park on the dangerous streets and walk!I finally peeked in out of curiosity. Had been wondering about this place when I lived dtwn but never had a chance to stop in. Played a few hands and a was joined by a fun group. Fun dealer too, Sonya. And right before, a drunk guy got kicked out for calling the dealer a douche. Think he might represent the majority of patrons there. Personally, not the type I like to be around. They do have a lot of perks for new members like $25 play money and a chance to spin the wheel. Even with all that, I can't see myself returning for the aforementioned reasons.Service was prompt and friendly, I got my drink shortly after taking my seat at the table.

Andrew and his crew went above and beyond.They celebrated my birthday 2 weeks late and were kind, atmosphere is amazing and the staff were incredible.5$ black jack minimum is rare to find where the environment is nice too.One of the oldest gambling halls in Sacramento , it's been around for more than 60 years.Can't recommend this place enough. No idea how people can complain about service or environment. It's just one of those places you have to go in and unwind and have fun. Sacramento is lucky to have this place.Will be back and soon.

Absolutely no parking. Small lot up front maybe 7 spots including like one handicap. Small lot behind after looping around the block twice. Same issue no spots. Maybe same amount 6 or 7 spots in back lot with idiots parked behind main spots. Waited 10 min while an suv tried to back up to park or get out of the lot Finally gave up and left. Maybe 30 min with driving around block 3 times and waiting. Also adjacent lots all business or 1-2 hr parking. With all the homeless around wasnt going to park on the street.

Love this place its a degenerates paradise....Great food I suggest the philly cheese steak with whizzAnd brunch get the chicken fried chicken with gravyThe cardroom was just remodeled and I have a propensity to hit the tables whenever I'm there.Dog friendly patioWell priced drinksMust go for football season brunch

This is not only my favorite place to hangout but my favorite place to grab happy hour tacos..

Great service! I remember used to go there. They have a awesome promotion on texas holdem limit game Buy in 100 and you get 100 extra to play.

This is a cool spot with $5 minimum blackjack as well as other table games l, you even get $25 match play your first time. Awesome spot with cool people and lots of TVs to watch the game.

Sucks worst cardroom I've been to seems like cards are mostly facecards and way to many 'decks' in one game honestly don't trust this place at all

I had heard a lot of goods things about Limelight, but when I went into check out the card room, there wasn't any card playing going on. I was very disappointed, especially when the employees told me that they didn't know when or if they would be bring back Texas Hold Em. I live locally and would consider playing there if they got some poker tables going. They have a nice bar and I hear the food is good, but if this business is listed as a card room, lets play some cards! BRING ON TEXAS HOLD EM AND OMAHA.Thank you, Sergio
