Morant's Old Fashioned Sausage

5001 Franklin Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95820

Gemco

2505 Riverside Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95818

Sacramento, CA 95818

Yummy P. writes: Never bought cigars from this joint, but i smoked a bunch from "Lord Mandrake Pendragon the 3rd" and it was good. The cigars from these cubans made me from a 35 year non-smoker into a addicted chain smoking bastard

City Cemetery

1000 Broadway
Sacramento, CA 95818

Randy M. writes: The Old Sacramento Cemetery is one of my favorite places in Sacramento. It's historic, romantic (really!), scenic, and haunted.

HAUNTED?!?!?

Yes, really. The cemetery is haunted. But we'll get to that later. For now, let's talk about the other reasons…

Sacramento Comedy Spot

1716 Broadway
Sacramento, CA 95818

Greg S. writes: The Comedy Spot is more fun than a kick to the man region.  Rather than the predictable stand-up routines that you've become immune to, the Spot offers up improv and sketch comedy from local performers.  Like the Groundlings in LA or Second City in…

Tower Cafe

1518 Broadway
Sacramento, CA 95818

Sacramento, CA 95818

Dane H. writes: 4 Stars now - breathlessly waiting on 5.

"It's like deja-vu all over again"! Great to see this place finally open.

Tower's closing was like cutting off my right arm (I'm a lefty) and it was so depressing driving by there after work each day that I…

Java Lounge

2416 16th St
Sacramento, CA 95818

Crow M. writes: Organic bananas, emotional repression and scary monsters.

There are a ton of good reasons for Yelpers to give this place a visit. For one, it's cool and the coolness will rub off on you every time you visit. Two, their drink sizes are small, medium…

Avid Reader at the Tower

1600 Broadway
Sacramento, CA 95818

Man of Leisure M. writes: I'm really glad another bookstore, and an independent one at that, is doing business in the building formerly occupied by Tower Books.  Avid Reader's Broadway store is in the bright, spartan, open layout vein--while it's not exactly my idear of what…

Angel's Fresh Mex

2101 16th St
Sacramento, CA 95818

Katie T. writes: I'm going to get a fat little taco belly and I don't care.  I live a block away from Angel's and after a conversation with my housemates last night regarding the lack of cheap ethnic food in the area, it was decided that I'd be our Angel's guinea…

Sacramento, CA 95818

At the time there was a jolly older…

Hong Kong Cafe

501 Broadway
Sacramento, CA 95818

Mike R. writes: LOOKS CLOSED, BUT IT'S NOT. It doesn't look like much from the outside. The awnings are always pulled down, so it looks closed most of the time. If it weren't for the one or two cars in the parking lot, you'd think nobody was inside. Once you duck…

Kamon Japanese Restaurant

2210 16th St
Sacramento, CA 95818

monika l. writes: Love the staff! I had my birthday party there New Years Eve with twelve other people and they were so helpful. Lots of restaurants aren't real excited to have big parties last minute on such a big holiday. They were. We ordered full dinners and rolls…

Taste of Thai

1628 Broadway
Sacramento, CA 95818

Serena Q. writes: There are 2 types of people: Taste of Thai people, and Chada Thai people. Chada Thai people are dumb. The two restaurants are next door to each other on Broadway, which is definitely strange, but I have been to both many times because I used to work…

Cafe Marika

2011 J St Ste A
Sacramento, CA 95814

Katie T. writes: While the review on the wall gives more stars for food and docks them for atmosphere, I feel quite the opposite about Marika.  Marika seems to be the place everyone means to go to.  I'd driven past and talked about stopping so many times, that when I…

Back Door Lounge

1112 Firehouse Aly
Sacramento, CA 95814

Cyndi L. writes: One of my favorite bars in town.

The Back Door has a great old 70s lounge vibe, complete most nights with a lounge singer.

The drinks can be a little on the pricey side, but not any more than a chain place, but at least here they are GOOD drinks. They…

The Depot

2001 K St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Serena Q. writes: Being a drunkard means having grand illusions about what drunkenness is and does, and a lot of romanticizing about alcohol and perhaps some of the good times you have had while boozing.

You know what I mean - you think about that cold glass of beer…

Metro Electronics

1831 J St
Sacramento, CA 95814

DeeAnn L. writes: Metro! Not just for the guys, ladies welcomed also.

At many electronic shops (especially chain types like Radio Shack) somehow I turn into "Invisible Girl" and pretty much ignored for the most part, but not at Metro. When I was a PC repair tech I went…

Sacramento, CA 95814

Sakurabana Japanese Restaurant

1907 Capitol Ave
Sacramento, CA 95814

jd d. writes: Oh my god!! Is that what had happened?

Sadly to say, this was my favorite Japanese restuarant since it was operated by Japanese people.  

They had the best price for hand rolled sushi... and the cut of fish was humongous.

LUNCH WAS obviously the best.…

Forever 21

545 Downtown Plz Ste 1111
Sacramento, CA 95814

Katie T. writes: Even though everyone wants to think that they are better than it, I am not ashamed to admit that I love Forever 21.  It's cheap, they have cute reproductions of expensive clothing I could never afford, and their sizes fit me well.

Capitol Ace Hardware

1815 I St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Kintaro Sushi Bar

8355 Elk Grove Boulevard Suite 100
Elk Grove, CA 95758

Rochelle R. writes: Kintaro, in my opinion is better than Mikuni sushi. Since not all sushi is created equal, I like Kintaro much more. The grilled tuna is out of this world, I also recommend the Juicy roll and Elk Grove roll.  Whether it's for the bar, a table or to go…
