3 Best Nightlife in Sacramento and the Gold Country, California

Flavorful, colorful, fruity cocktails are the specialty of this bar and restaurant whose equally rich-hued decor and corrugated-metal ceiling intentionally evoke spots throughout Mexico. While sipping sangria, a cerveza, or the house margarita in several flavors, you can nibble on street tacos, posole, elote (corn on a stick), and other small plates.

This restaurant and entertainment complex offers bowling, billiards, karaoke, Giant Jenga, pinball, Skee-Ball, and other diversions. After you've worked up an appetite, dine on updated pub grub and sip well-chosen craft beers, wine, specialty cocktails, or boozeless beverages.

Concrete walls and black-metal beams and railings reinforce the post-industrial mood at this two-level bar, which draws a youngish crowd for craft cocktails, zesty small bites and larger plates, and often live music.
