A Midtown favorite, the Golden Bear did not disappoint during a recent lunch visit. Great food, good drink selection, and an eclectic display of local art. I think the walls and floors were still pulsing from the dance party the night before!

Amusing drinking and dining spot-popular with university students but as a foursome of 30-40 somethings, we held down a table and enjoyed a meal and drinks to end a fun day in Sac. My favorite dish was the Kimchi Fried Rice. We tried some pizzas...Read More

If I could give them 10 stars I would!! The owner was personable and down to earth. It might not look like much from the outside but 100% worth it. It has a layed back downtown feel. We order the Waffle Sando and a pizza...Read More

Stopped by due to an online recommendation. We were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is a little sparse but the food makes up for it. The chef takes great pride in his work. The turnip soup was amazing.

Small, neighborhood bar that makes fantastic food. The bar is usually pretty busy on weekend nights and they even get busy for brunch during the typically busy hours.

This is a total Hometown type of place. The owner was our waiter and our bartender. We had great conversation, great food, strong drinks, and just a wonderful time. Love this place! The pesto pasta/chicken/musbroom/bacon was AWESOME! Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I love this place. The staff and clientele are friendly and helpful, and despite it having a very mellow, low-key bar feeling, the food is as good, if not better, than most of the fancier places in Sac. Great vegetarian and carnivore options. Price per person $20–30 Food:...Read More

The burger is delicous! The burrito looks a bit unappetizing but tastes great. However, the food is priced fairly high. (I blame the economy) The bar stools could use an update. The service is fantastic and the drinks are excellent! More
