Sacramento Nightlife

Along with the surge in development around downtown Sacramento, countless bars, lounges and music venues have also sprung up in town. No matter what your idea of a good time is, you're bound to find a version of it here.

A wide range of music can be enjoyed in Sacramento, and in close vicinity. Arco Arena gets the standard huge acts on tour, while smaller clubs and lounges like the Torch Club feature everything from blues to techno. In nearby Davis, the Robert Mondavi Center gets classics like Yo-Yo Ma and Aretha Franklin.

The Mondavi Center and other venues also have a wide range of theater and dance performances, and Broadway shows even tour through from time to time. Community theater performances go on regularly as well. Or consider catching the latest independent film at one of the area's small movie theaters, like the Crest, which shows the latest indies but also has days focused on different genres and periods in film history.

Not surprisingly given the proximity of Sacramento to wine country, some of the nicest bars in town are wine bars. You can find everything from small and cozy little joints to huge and sleek modern places to taste. Either way, the servers and sommeliers here really know their stuff, so be sure to ask what the best local wines are to get the best of Northern California flavors.

For brews, pop into one of the many fun and unique pubs around Midtown, Downtown, and Old Sac, like the Fox & Goose or the Streets of London. There are a couple of microbreweries around the area as well, like the River City Brewing Company located in Midtown. Visit a brewery, or just try a couple of their best brews at a ball game - the Kings play at the Arco Arena, or you can enjoy the weather at the Rivercats (minor league baseball) stadium.
