About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Thu, Fri, Sat

A 1920s-inspired speakeasy with dog-friendly outdoor seating and craft cocktails. The Shady Lady Saloon opened in 2009 by three longtime friends, aiming to elevate Sacramento's cocktail and food scene. The retro atmosphere is paired with seasonal Southern snacks and a full bar open late every night.

It draws a mixed gay-straight crowd, mostly 20-somethings and 30-somethings, making it a popular after-work spot in Midtown. The best nights are Thursday through Saturday, when drinks flow until 2am. If you're looking for more options, nearby The Mercantile Saloon offers another historic vibe.
