R15 - Sacramento

Since I used to be a frequent bar hopper back in the day, it is quite a rare occurrence for me to be consuming libations during my busy weekend nights. However, I made an exception during the evening of Saturday 3/12/2022 as I came here with friends for our pre-St. Patrick 's Day festivities. As many of you know, R15 has been a Sacramento staple dating back to around 2006 as it is conveniently located on the corner of R and 15th St 's and only a block away from the Light Rail Station. This is a very popular spot both in the daytime and night. During the morning and afternoon hours, much of the space is utilized by the same owners that own Cafe Bernardo ; a very popular Sacramento brunch spot. During the evening and night hours, a lot of that seating is closed off and the bar is exclusively available for those that wish to partake in beer, wine, and spirits. It is also a great spot to grab a drink before heading over to nearby music venue, Ace of Spades as well as many other eateries all within walking distance. When I came here (which was around 9:30pm on a Saturday night), there was a decent crowd but nothing like how it was 10+ years ago. I am guessing when you factor in inflation, post-pandemic uncertainty, and staffing issues, things are a little out of the ordinary. However, I felt comfortable enjoying a nice evening as our friends enjoyed shots of tequila while I enjoyed an iced cold Stella Artois. Overall service was good but prices were much higher due to shortage of supplies and rising gas/oil prices; a sign of the times. I will say that R15 is an excellent spot if you 're looking for a quick drink, nice atmosphere, TV 's to watch the games, and a couple pool tables in the back. However, it was just average for me as I prefer more of the unique bars that stand out in the crowd. With that said and done, I am giving R15 just an average three-star rating. Not great, not poor, but just right in between.

I'd like to come here if I have to go to a concert in Ace of Spades and kill time. It is connected to a café, so there are food options (but the food is just okay). The bartenders are always very nice and helpful when I look for drinking suggestions. I mainly come here to play pool, there are 4 tables and I've never seen all four full. There are also large TVs and many seating areas.

Food was great, service was fast and friendly. I usually came to the drinks and the bartenders were great. They were friendly and could recommend drinks. Thanks Steve and Tony! I'm back. The Thai Noodle is also amazing! Cool to know, they also have 4 billiard tables!

One of my favorite restaurants in sac. They're super dog friendly which is a major plus In my book. Drinks are always amazing and they change with the seasons. Food also changes with the seasons but sticks to the same dishes, but they change to different seasonal ingredients each season witch gives the menu a comfortable familiarity with new twists to look forward too. The avocado toast is my favorite dish and the salmon burger I also a must try.

Too many flies with manager knowledge. Major health hazard. No changes have been made by employees request...
