Located in Sacramento's Lavender Heights at 20th & K Street, this spot serves dinner seven nights a week plus Saturday and Sunday brunch, all while hosting a lively dance floor, video bar, and regular drag shows. They're known for their 'best club burger in town' claim, and the full bar keeps drinks flowing from open to close. Friday and Saturday are the busiest nights, with a 20-something crowd packing the dance floor. The outdoor seating is dog friendly, and happy hour draws an after-work set. If you're bar-hopping, Faces Nightclub is nearby for more dancing.

Walking into Capital Stage, you step into a renovated intimate theatre space that seats you close to the action.

Box office hours run Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 6pm. Beyond mainstage shows, Capital Stage offers apprenticeships, internships, and public classes. The Crocker Art Museum is a nearby partner for some educational programs. Best time to go? Check their season calendar for opening nights — those tend to draw a lively midtown crowd.
