3 reviews for The Hub
Well this is my first review, so I figured I might as well give it to a place that no one had commented on yet.
The Hub is a beer bar tucked in the back of a run-down strip mall on 47th Avenue, midway down on the south side of Sacramento. Heard about it for awhile, so I thought I'd pop in for a beer on what I hoped would be a quiet Wednesday afternoon.
Wrong. The place was mostly full around 2:30, and more people kept rolling in. One pool table, couple of televisions, cold-ass bottles of domestics (and probably Corona too), and the working-class crowd that South Sac is known for. No jukebox that I saw, they had tunes piped in on the house stereo. Oh yeah, they got a beat-down smoker's patio in the back with a HORSESHOE PIT!! I love that. Friendly older guy working the bar, and the patrons seemed cool as well.
I'll have to come back here at night to see what the crowd is like after the sun goes down.
The Hub is the nickname for Boston...short for "Hub of the Universe". The Hub is the fictional name of the cafe on That 70's Show. The Hub is also a smokey neighborhood bar in South Sacramento...Love the name...The Hub.
The bar...not so much. It's bright! Not a lot of signage or dive bar kitsch on the walls. It's also a smoking bar which is always a disappointment for me. The smell of old staIe cigarette smoke mixed with fresh cigarete smoke isn't exactly a mood enhancer. I also have to dig out the K-Tel lung scraper. Lots of smoking bars for dive bar night these days. I even went outside for some fresh air and then all of a sudden everybody who was inside smoking came outside to smoke. What?!
The Hub needs more kitsch a cool jukey and less smoke.
I give the Hub 2 carcenigenic stars.
The Hub is just a good old neighborhood bar in South Sacramento,coldest beer in town
and you can't beat 25 cent pool
