The Cellar

Not just a clever name because it's literally in a cellar. Great bar for a quick nightcap and people watching. The pours here are heavy handed which is a plus and the bartenders are super friendly. The layout is great, a few different seating areas with spacious couches and chairs that allow you to sip and watch the game comfortably. The music is ok if you're a lover of Sublime, Nickleback, and the occasional live rap battle. Seriously, this happened and it was awful. So bad in fact I threw up on my sweater, mom's spaghetti. ** Mic Drop **

The Cellar is pretty solid for being the only bar in Sutter Creek and the only bar in a three-town radius that isn't a complete dive. I've watched this place change from a more traditional bar with pool tables in the back to what it is now, which is sort of a combination of hipster haunt (with preserves decorating the front wall and a great craft beer selection) and weekend club. Seriously, the DJ and the rap battle were not what I was expecting. I'll also give them props for being the only place that serves food past 10 pm in Sutter Creek, even if it is three different fried offerings of a combination of them together. For the most part, the layout is great, the bartenders cheerful, the patrons an interesting mix of regulars and out-of-towners. Even the random DJ'd mix and unintelligible rap freestyle were good conversation pieces.

Very comfy, cool spot to drink and relax. They serve food too, but we just came for drinks. They have a full bar and plenty of beers on tap. They have bar seating as well as couches, soft chairs and tall tables. The staff was friendly and efficient. We left right before the live music started. But they apparently have live bands every Friday and Saturday. We didn't get to experience the upstairs bar/restaurant, but it looked very nice. I'm assuming they have the same menu downstairs for food.

Great drinks, friendly bartenders, and a fun vibe on a Friday night. We were looking for somewhere lively and open late near our hotel (Hanford House) and this did the trick!

This use to be an amazing upscale bar. It had an amazing atmosphere, great drinks, live music and the place to go out in Sutter Creek. The pictures above are not at all representative of what it is rather what it was. It has turned into an expensive dive bar......I'm not sure what the owners are doing? Terribly disappointing on the changes occurring.

Leave your dignity at the door, and head down into the vile pit known as The Cellar. A wonderful collection of local drunks, toasted out-of-towners, and stoners. If you find yourself somehow still coherent in the 1am hour, plan on losing your phone or your underwear or something. +250 exp if you can handle the kamikazes. Don't say I didn't warn you when you wake up half naked with Chad from Fresno.

This is a little bar tucked into he basement of an old building. It's actually really nice and cozy. Nice bar, rock walls, comfortable antique furniture arranged in groups, perfect for having a few drinks and chatting with friends. The weird thing was that they were bumping club music the whole time we were there. Nothing against club music... in the club. But it just felt out of place here in Gold Country.I'll have to check this place out again sometime to get a better feel for it. But it was nice for the short time we were there.

We'd give The Cellar 4 stars but the upstairs bar was the worst margarita we'd ever tasted (basically orange juice, the bartender looked like she'd never mixed a drink before) and when we moved into the dining room the food was over-priced and tasteless. (Mashed potatoes were the highlight. Bruschetta, short ribs, and ravioli were all meh.) The worst kind of tourist-area restaurant.

Cool place (literally) to hangout and chill on a hot night. Good vibes, and Kim makes awesome drinks. Kitchen was closed by the time we got there, so can't rate the food.

We were there last night. Having a great time dancing and singing after our Christmas party until a local boy with a camo hat decided to stick his hand up my sisters skirt! I told him off, and the locals and the big guy bartending kicked us out and protected him. Y'all be careful going in there...especially the ladies...there's a freak in there so be careful. Y'all will see his name in the local paper as we notified the police and reported back to us this morning.
