The Shady Lady Saloon

9 Bars in the Bay Area for Cocktails | Eater

"Publications from around the country have bestowed love on this Sacramento classic, placing it on national best-of lists for years. Inspired by both the roaring ‘20s and Southern cuisine, plates like mushroom Rockefeller and fried green tomatoes sit nicely next to the Lady’s The Bitter End, made with Zacapa Rum, sweet vermouth, ruby port, ginger syrup, cardamom bitters, and cinnamon smoke for a touch of theatrics. Order it on one of the Lady’s live music nights, where the mix of jazz with cocktails makes it feel like New Orleans a century ago." - Robert Spuhler
