The Shady Lady Saloon

First time there this past Friday. My gf and I loved the atmosphere of the place. It was Jazz night, the music was keeping my attention the whole time. No cover either! Must go to if you love complex, live music! There was a lot of people, diverse environment. Just make sure to bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to loud music. It WILL be loud. The Ace of spades is also on the same , so be wary of traffic! Will go again.!

The Shady Lady is a great place to enjoy a cocktail with some friends. We love the ambience inside the place.We have our favorite appetizer which is the Duck Fats Tots. The flavor is great. The cocktails are hard to choose since they have so many on the menu.There were four of us and it was not too busy but service was a bit slow. One person asked if the bartender could make a drink that used to be on the menu but were told they stick to what's on the menu because there are newer staff who may not have been around previously.The food and cocktails were good and enjoyed the experience.

Fried green tomatoes are so good. Received excellent service from the manager and bartender! The Brussel sprouts were also amazing! I love this place!

Someone else said it, but it's true, this is a sac town staple. It's right on R which is a nice area with a ton of other options, but you should stop here. They have fun, unique drinks and great food! I got their Caesar salad which is huge! I added steak and it was nice and tender. You could definitely share this with a big group. The service is always great, even when they're busy. Always recommend this place when I have friends come into town! Also a great space to stop before going to a concert at Ace of Spades!

Wow! First time coming here and fell in love with this spot. The Thursday music is incredible, with jazz, reggae and latin inspo and the interior design is to die for. Every bit of design is well thought out I caught myself staring at every wall and corner. Nice and spacious but still super intimate. Drinks were delicious and not too expensive ($13/$14) !! Would come here all the time

We came to The Shady Lady Saloon last night for some dinner before a concert. I've been to The Shady Lady for drinks, but never the food so I was excited to finally check it out!We ordered the Pulled Pork Corn Crepes, Duck Confit Tots, Jambalaya Croquettes and the Shrimp Po Boy Sliders. I was a big of the Shrimp Po Boy Sliders (and the fries that came with them), but everything else was okay - I liked different things from each dish, but nothing wowed me. If you like heat though, definitely check out the Jambalaya Croquettes! So spicy!The decor at The Shady Lady is also what makes it unique! With the paintings, red sofa and mood lighting - it's definitely a vibe! It's a great place to have a drink - I recommend the Red Daisy especially if you like tequila! Our server was great and worked his butt off even though it got very busy towards the end. We appreciated that our glasses were never empty!The have a brunch menu that I will definitely be checking out very soon!

One of our favorite spots to grab delicious food and drinks when we're in the area. No matter if you are at the bar or one of their tables always friendly welcoming staff to serve you.

Love this place! Four of us went for a round of drinks during a Sacramento pub crawl. The server was so friendly and fun! She helped us choose the perfect cocktails and then gave us great recommendations for the rest of our crawl. I love the look of this place! Swanky, sexy and fun! And there are a lot of other fun spots very near here. Definitely make Shady Lady one of your Sacramento stops

Such a fun place. The Mac n Cheese is excellent! We had a variety of appetizers and felt full. You have to try the Absinthe, it's a treat and an event!The waitresses are really fun and keep the vibe going. Check it out, especially on 2nd Saturday.

Came here for brunch on a Saturday a few weeks back and service was really slow even though the place was nearly empty.The interior is really moody with deep U shaped booths and lots of red drapes on the walls with a big bar in the middle. I've been here before when it was really busy, I was surprised to see it dead on a Sunday. The food was ok, but the burger was overcooked and we didn't get checked out after our food came to see if we were happy. I got the Flat Iron Steak Salad, it was excellent. Steak cooked perfectly medium rare. I am a dressing control-freak so I got it on the side. It was a strawberry vinaigrette (yum). My friend got the Shady Lady Burger, ordered medium rare but it was well-done. He barely ate it but no one came back to check on us so we called it a loss. My other friend got the Betty's Chilaquiles and said they were good. Drinks:Mimosa - my friend said it wasn't good. Delta Breeze - friend liked it.Manhattan - a classic, very good. Had to go to the bar to request the check as we were done dining for some time. Also had to bring the check back to have our card run. Wish the service had been more attentive, probably a green staff. Not sure if I will be back.
