"Right off the blue and gold tram lines and between Midtown and Downtown Sacramento is this speakeasy-style bar with live music five nights a week. The bar goes heavy on the Prohibition vibes—flocked wallpaper, velvet sofas, dark leather banquettes, candelabras, pressed-tin ceiling—but although it’s a little kitsch, it works, as do the cocktails. The not-unpleasantly-medicinal Judas is a potent mix of vermouth, rye whiskey, honey, lemon and bitters." - Sophie Friedman
