Honey and The Trapcat

Man, a little hidden gem in Old Sac. Definitely a dive bar with some sticky floors and weird lighting but dang if that burger wasn’t one of the best things I ever ate in Sacramento! Got the spicy guac burger with Negra Modelo. Highly recommend. Patty was cooked to perfection. Charred edges without the whole patty being burnt. Healthy portion of guac. Definitely did not skimp on burger portions. Sooo delicious. Fries were great too. The bartender taking orders was great too. Shoutout to the bearded guy in the Raiders hat. Wish I got his name but he was hustling like crazy but was on top of it. Awesome service! Overall definitely recommend this spot! It might be surrounded by touristy shops but this is a truly good spot!

Hey maybe the food could be slightly better but damn was it good for us after the concert we saw with little to no fuel! This place has an absolutely wonderful vibe and the bartender was insanely quick & kind. I really wish I could remember her name after a few weeks, I should have left the review sooner I'm so sorry about that but you have great staff please cherish them!!! Gin, no chaser! 😉

this place was awesome , yesterday my company party was scheduled on the site and sip cruise for 75 employees . the boat had an error so that was cancelled . we were just standing around for quite some time .while management was trying to figure out what to do a few of us walked over to get some drinks while we wait . within minutes they were able to accommodate all 75 of us with no notice . they were really working hard with such a huge crowd out of nowhere they rocked it .good vibe, good food and friendly staff . thank you so much for your hard work . the innovage crew . we appreciate you

If you're thinking of going to old sac - I definitely recommend stopping by Honey and The Trapcat for an adult beverage. We were on a road trip with small dogs and this was an excellent spot. The outdoor patio is nice - with our two pups and two pints :) We were only there for a drink but I would grab a bit next time. It's a fun, quirky, slightly hidden bar with decent prices, good service - A Great Spot!

My wife and I were in town for training for the week. We went in twice. The first night for drinks. We sat at the bar. The bartender, Michael was awesome. He made very good drinks, talked to us the entire time we were there and made sure we were taken care of. The place is big and very clean. The place is very cool and has an awesome vibe. We enjoyed the first night so we decided to go back again. Josh, was our bartender. He was awesome. It was a bit busy but he was able to take care of things and kept people happy. We decided to eat and ordered the spicy guacamole burger….. OMG it was delicious. Both my wife and I commented that it was one of, if not the best burgers we’ve ever had. The place is not a fine dining and bright lights, big city experience. It’s a cool vibe, great drinks, hometown bar experience. If you don’t mind that, you’ll love the place. If that’s not for you move on. Also, if you plan to have drinks and food. Remember good food and drinks take time to make. Be patient….. It’s worth the wait. Thanks for a great experience. Highly recommend.

This spot is such an underrated gem! I'd been here half a dozen times and always had a great experience with the staff, good food, great drinks, nice vibes. Pool tables for a fun activity, tons of indoor and outdoor seating, and the patio is cozy and gorgeous in nice weather. Recently I hosted a party here and it was a totally smooth and easy experience. No contracts or rental fees - I was able to decorate and save space for about 40 on the patio. The back bar was opened for easy ordering, everyone could order independently rather than trying to split a check, and they even made me a signature cocktail with a cute lil sign! Of all my guests only a handful had ever been before and everyone had a fabulous time. Couldn't recommend any higher 🥰

I was recommended here by my hotel receptionist. Emily served me and she was just amazing! Loved the vibe there great throwback songs and Emily treated me great. The food was also top tier and the drinks SO GOOD! This is my first time in Sacramento and I will definitely come back to this place if I visit Sacramento again. Thank you Emily !!

Honey and The Trapcat: A cozy, charming cafe known for its warm ambiance and delicious comfort food. They serve a variety of well-crafted breakfast and brunch options, with fresh ingredients and flavorful dishes. The coffee is strong and well-prepared, making it a favorite spot for morning meetups. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Ideal for relaxed gatherings or a quiet meal, Honey and The Trapcat offers good value and a comfortable vibe.

I love the atmosphere. Very rustic vibes and ample amount of seating. They have outdoor seating with heaters outside, but we chose to sit inside. Their menu and drinks are posted on the wall by the main bar. You order at the bar first and then you choose to sit whereever you'd like. They give you a number to place on the table and they deliver your food to the table. For appetizers, we ordered the Asparagus Fries and the Rolled Tacos. Both were good but the asparagus fries were my favorite. The Rolled tacos were a little plain, but when you dipped it in the sauce, it tasted much better. I ordered the Hot Mess Hot Chicken Sandwich. It comes with a side of fries. There wasn't anything special about the fries, but the chicken sandwich was delicious. It actually had a spicy kick to it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the buffalo sauce they used was very good! I would definitely order again.

Went here for my friend's birthday, we've been a couple times now. This place is always hit or miss depending on the crowd and overall vibe. This time it was definitely more poppin', but unfortunately, I just wasn't feeling great and wasn't vibing with the scene. That said, shoutout to the female bartender near the outside bar, super sweet and made a great drink. The better energy was outside for sure. We ended up ordering some food (gotta soak up that alcohol somehow), and I have to say, it was actually pretty good for a little bar kitchen. The location is cool, right in downtown Old Sacramento. There are two entrances: the upper level one takes you downstairs, and then there's the back entrance that leads through a good-sized outdoor patio, which is a fun spot to hang out too. I'll be back at some point, I'm sure. So if you're looking for a solid bar with different areas to chill in, plenty of space, and that laid back dive bar feel, Honey and the Trapcat is worth checking out.

The food was really good and their bartenders are super awesome! Pricing is very reasonable. They have a lot of indoor and outdoor space, but the outdoor space was a lot more comfortable. Inside had a dark wood, dim vibe. More open space for standing than for seating. My only complaint is the cleanliness. Their bathroom really needs attention. Also, their business is downstairs. I don't know if they have an elevator, but you can enter through their back / outdoor entrance too. I think I prefer that entrance more!

I finally tried this place out today after always hearing about them. The ambiance is like a nice underground bar/pub. The service was friendly at the bar but it took what felt like a long time to receive my food when they weren't busy at all. I got their spicy guac burger which was really good while my relative got one of their chicken sandwiches. We both enjoyed the entrees and fries we got. We were disappointed in the rolled tacos we got which tasted like delimex frozen taquitos you buy in grocery stores and Costco. I'll have to give them another try and order a drink after seeing frozen beverages as well as a decent cocktail menu. I'd personally stay away from some of their appetizers and only get a sandwich or burger if you're hungry though.

This was my first time coming here i had walked by several times but never stopped in, but looked at their menu outside of the establishment and the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries caught my eye so i decided to go in. I was greeted by Joshua a very polite friendly bartender, he was very knowledgeable of the menu and drinks i happened to by chance come in at their happy hour got a tecate he rimmed it with tajin and a lime it was so good and refreshing. I didn't have to wait very long for my meal it was so delicious I will be back to try their famous carne asada fries they marinate the meat its made from scratch im here for that. The place is huge three different bars with different seating areas even an outside patio the decor is awesome and inviting if you're in the area stop by also they stay open until 2am thats something we need in old sac for sure.

A vibe!!! I've been here a few times and love this dive bar in old sac! You go in and go downstairs which I think is unique! They have pool tables, good music and two different bars! They also serve food.. although I've never eaten here! They have a huge outdoor patio in the back! Most recently I tried the spicy marg! Made perfectly! This place is like a trendy cute dive bar!

What a hidden gem! This place is HUGE and has a lot going on, from pool to shuffleboard to a lovely outside patio. There are multiple bars and a full service kitchen, and each room kinda has a different vibe to it. Joshua was our mixologist when we were there, and he KILLED it. We didn't have a cocktail menu but he was able to expertly make everything we asked for, and did the same for other customers. I had one of the best Bees Knees ever, in addition a lovely White Linen and expertly crafted Old Fashioned. The food was delicious, classic american. The smokey pesto chicken sandwich was a highlight, but my wife enjoyed the spicy guac burger as well. We'll definitely be back here to try out new cocktails and food!

Came here with a late night burger craving.. was pleasantly surprised with it. This place looks a bit like a divey pub and I've found hit and miss food at places like that, but the burger here actually was solid. I got the bacon guac one. Lots of bacon and guac to add a ton of savory flavor and the beef was pretty meaty and cooked well. Only thing I thought could be improved was the bun. Fries were okay. Staff and other patrons were quite friendly. I brought my dog and was able to sit out on the patio with him.

Went for new years. Waited 30 minutes for a drink, it's fine it's new years. Bartender was rude about making the drinks, so decided to leave no tip. Guess who decided to give themselves their own tip. The bartenders at this bar give themselves their own tips from your cards even if you decided not to. Never going back.

Emily and Pedro are amazing! Let's go to a bar that had great music and great vibes! Come check out Honey !

In search of a revolving signature drink menu, custom cocktails or late-night bites, Honey comes in clutch every time! I love the underground layout, and how there are different rooms and 3 bars to settle up at, as well as the pool tables and the effort they make in occasionally catering to local event crowds with themed drinks and playlists. The stars are the staff as well as the drinks, made with creative ingredients and at a reasonable price point. A must-try is the breakfast burger. They serve food till 2 a.m. too, which is hard to find in Sac (at a bar at least). Cheers!

Honey and the Trapcat serves your classic bar food, but we genuinely enjoyed everything we ordered. We went around 5 p.m., and it was still pretty quiet--seems like the after-work crowd rolls in later. The place is spacious, divided into three sections, with music playing in the background. It definitely has a fun, laid-back vibe. I ordered a turkey burger, and honestly, it was one of the best I've had. Turkey burgers can sometimes taste too much like turkey and not enough like a burger, but this one nailed the balance. I also got a fried vegetable--can't remember which one--but it mostly just tasted like fried breading with a hint of veggie. My friends liked their meals too. I'd absolutely go back.

Thanks Chef Bentley and the bar/ staff. Stopped in for a burger. My little guy is super picky and they accommodated that special order on a burger. Really enjoyed the Hot Mess Hot Chicken sandwich. Fries and everything was fresh and tasty!!!!

Super chill energy here. Everyone I talked to was friendly without doing too much, and the vibe was a mix of laid-back and intentional. Didn't buy anything big, but I appreciated how patient and genuine the staff were. Definitely a good spot to stop by if you're in the area.

Get the Paloma, Michelada , and any food. Highly recommended . This is my spot to go on my weekends

The ambiance was cute and the bartenders were nice and accommodating. I would come back again and have drinks with my friends!

My very first time and at Honey And The Trapcat my first impressions was aww it's a cool spot. It wasn't too busy at the bar, I Evan considered ordering an appetizer that is until I used the restroom it was so filthy, completely trashed. I thought if the restroom is this disgusting I can only imagine the kitchen. I left probably will never go back again.

Really dark and dim basement type bar in old sac. They have a vast bar menu and decent food selection. The carne asada fries were a nice mid-drinking snack that filled me up and tasted pretty good. They make a decent gin and tonic as well. If you're in the area and looking for a cocktail and a snack this is an alright place to have those.

I stopped here for dinner after a day at Sacramento Comic Con. I found this place, so decided to give it a try. The staff was very friendly and answered all my questions about the menu. The fries themselves were quite good. The cheese was nice and melted, and the fries were nice and crispy. The meat, which I think was made from hamburger patty, had an amazing taste.

Cool spot in the alley in Old Sac. Causal Bar seating, tables and outside seating. They have happy hour. You order food at the bar counter. The drinks are good and the bar food is delicious.

Came here for lunch. A bit pricey, but tasty, we'll made, and decent amount of food. Spent $100 for a party of four. Menu was mainly bar grub. We got the double cheeseburgers , chicken sandwich, asada fries, and four drinks. Food were fresh and juicy hot. During our visit, there was no one else in line and service was pleasant and quick. Food came in about 20 minutes from the time we ordered. We ate outside on the patio area located to the rear of the establishment adjacent to an alley way. It would've been a better experience if the city workers weren't pressure washing near by as it filled the air with a plethora of scents that weren't entirely pleasant. Overall, not a bad experience, just need to go there when the city aren't blasting away crud in the alley.

4.5/5. The bartenders are great and the selection of food is decent. They have lots of different seating as well as some TVs mounted. Theres also some games available even though we didn't play. It would probably be a completely different experience at a different time but I enjoyed the quiet vibes around 9pm. Only loosing points because the bathroom was disgusting.

Wandering through midtown looking for eats at 1am and was referred here. Super laid back vibe with a full menu of options. Bar had tons of options. They were spinning old school hip hop. I loved that the menu had a decent variety of options. I ordered mozzarella sticks and two pieces of bacon. They took a long time to come out, and it wasn't that crowded, but they were decent. I head a lot of the regulars order variations of the guac burger. Can't speak to parking because we ubered in. The bar tender Emily had the best energy.

Strolled in on the late night on a bicycle ride with a group of friends. And we needed some food and drinks. Service was kind of slow but it was served at the bar so expected. The food took a little bit longer than expected to come out but when it did everything was super tasty and made to order. I would recommend this place. I like the patio and all the space that is inside.

I've visited here twice. Once a few years back in the middle of the pandemic, when going out was still somewhat taboo; and once recently when I was in the area and had extra time to kill. First visit was with a few friends, I suggested this place because of the outdoor patio. Old Sacramento is a fun place to take out of towners. It was hot that day and the H&TC was crowded but the lower back bar (nearest the patio) was open and had super quick service despite the crowd that weekend. Last visit was mid-week 8/3 just after happy hour ended, less crowded but still busy. Noticed a lot of families with young children this time. Seems like a great place for parents to have an early evening relaxing with friends. The weather has been so mild, I could have sat on this patio for hours. Love the water fountains. Highly suggest the $10 slushies for a boozy and wallet friendly drink. The fries were really good too.

A fantastic bar in old town. Walk downstairs to this huge establishment, with pool tables, digital jukebox, outside seating, food, two separate bars, and more. No matter what drink I get here-paloma, lemon drop, long island, porn star martini-they nail it every time. They also have my favorite beer, blue moon, on tap! Bartenders are attentive. They don't rush your drink, they take their time to make the perfect cocktail. There's several water dispensers around, so you don't have to ask (my friends and I tend to get pretty sloshy here, so that's very helpful). Food here is great too, I love the carne asada fries.

One of my favorite neighborhood gems. Whatever you what they'll make. Just tell them what you like. I love that they also have a great wine selection and it's two glasses an order (half a bottle) so it's actually a steal. Molly is my favorite bartender! She's so nice and knows her craft! Food is good I love the booth burger, and the egg rolls. The patio is typically where I go to chill with a drink.

Great service and the food was delicious Love the atmosphere and very chill vibes The staff was super nice!

This place was a massive let down on Labor Day weekend. The one thing they have going for them is that the space is big and seems fun when full and their outdoor space was also really nice but overall they did not impress at all. The wait for drinks was absolutely insane at a very empty bar. I could not believe how slow the woman behind the bar was moving on the night of 5/26. I have never waited this long for drinks even at a completely slammed and packed bar. We didn't even order food because drinks took so long and she immediately moved on from us and was clearly moving on to other people and didn't want to further help us. We just completely gave up. The drinks were okay but they ran out of everything but still left specials up so that was disappointing. Overall not worth the insane wait unfortunately!

Good great , service fast . Didn't get a chance to experience the bar or drinks but the line was pretty lengthy so I'm sure the drinks are good. -But as soon as we sat down , we left because we looked above us and it had n*gg^r written on the ceiling by the tables. You ain't gotta tell me twice an establishment ain't for me

Seek out this little hidey-hole and dive right in! Tasty affordable food and bar snacks, creative drinks, and a fun and friendly staff. This place is an Old Town Sac winner!

If you don't have enough employees to actually feed people stop lying and advertising theirs food until 2am. The bartender is so overwhelmed he addressed nobody for 20 minutes and by the time he gets to you you'll be eating next week at the earliest. Avoid this place if you have a lunch shorter than 2 hours.

We were walking by and saw the drink menu, I have never been there before and wasn't sure what to expect being it's down some stairs. I had an awesome Paloma! It's on the all day drink specials menu. If you like Paloma's that was tasty. We also had a Michelada a little spicy, I would order both again. The bartenders we attentive, even if one wasn't sure what we were ordering when I said a blood beer :)

I visited Honey and The Tract while in the area with a group and in search of a place to get food and drinks. Located in the middle of Old Town and on the basement level of Front Street, you'll walk downstairs to find a few large rooms with a bar, some seating, and an outdoor patio around back. If you enter from the alley from around back, you can walk in on the bar level to avoid the stairs in the front entrance, if accessibility is a concern. The bartender was great, he was super friendly and handled a crazy busy bar all on his own with no assistance. They have a good selection of drinks, and when I asked the bartender for a spicy margarita, he asked how spicy and how sweet, which I really liked! It was a great margarita! I ordered the smokey pesto sandwich for dinner, which was very good. The food came out pretty quickly, too. I had a good time sitting out on the patio on a nice night, and would definitely return.

Really cool place, we didn't eat but the food looked great! my whole group enjoyed the drinks, it was very chill on a Sunday afternoon. I was able to ask the bartender for something sour apple and yummy since it wasn't busy, and what he gave me was perfect! it was fun to play pool also! Great time and we will be coming back!

My colleague and I came here for a late-night bite. We were diverted here by a lovely bartender at Finnegan's since their kitchen closes early and Honey and The Trapcat's kitchen stayed open. This place is in a basement. The music was chill hiphop, which I love. Wayyyy better than those establishments that just blast EDM the whole time as if they were a Vegas club. They also didn't turn it up too loud so we were still able to hear each other. The pool table is $10/hr. We opted out since we were tired from walking around downtown all day. We ordered fried zucchini fries which comes with a side of ranch. It didn't take too long to come out. Great quantity, definitely shareable. Not burnt or soggy, fried to perfection. This is a great place to have a seat and hang out. I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

Best bar and restaurant in Old Sac, hands down. Food is good and not too expensive, vibes are great, music adds to the feels, drinks are stellar and the staff is super cool. I come here every time I'm in old town. If you haven't been, definitely recommend this place!

Great drinks. Food though was an after thought. Felt thrown together possibly microwaved. Wasn't bad if you're drunk but we like great food then have some drinks

The drinks were honestly really good although more on the pricey side. We waited nearly 30-45 min for our food for it to come out cold and not good. I was disappointed especially because of how much you pay to receive lack luster food .

I have visited this location (not this specific business) multiple times throughout the years. I've recalled at least 3 businesses out here and its been tough going but it seems like this location might have finally found a business that could last. We decided to visit this place early on a Saturday. It wasn't busy at first but as the night went on the crowd started to come in. This place defintely gives off a hole in the wall vibe but don't let that turn you off. The staff was great and really out quite bit of care into making our drinks. Very friendly all around and always a key part of any bar. We tried a bunch of their drink specials and liked all our drinks. We also ordered some food on this visit. Decent food all around, nothing to really wow me but paired with drinks it made for a great night with friends. I went with the burger but would definitely go with the Hot Mess Hot Chicken Sandwich next time.

I hadn't paid much attention to this place until last night. Typically, I stop by for a quick drink and then move on to other spots. However, last night, I decided to try the food, and I was pleasantly surprised by how fast and delicious it was. The chef personally brought our dishes, and I regret not getting his name because he truly deserves recognition. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with pepper jack cheese, and it was absolutely delightful. The chicken was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and simply delicious! Shout out to your friendly bartender Julian. He is awesome!

Love the vibe here. Honey and the Trapcat is such a cool hangout in Old Sacramento. My favorite thing about ordering a drink here is that you can choose a spirit and tell them what you like and they will create something original and delicious. They have a huge selection of spirits as well as some drafts on tap. Bartenders and service is friendly and great. They also have a few pool tables and huge space inside for large parties or groups. The outdoor patio is great as well. There is also bar food that is pretty decent and hits just right when you need to soak up some alcohol lol. Whenever I bring visitors to Old Sac, I always make sure this is one of our stops!

Dive bar with good food The ambience won't impress you but the food and service was great

First...it's a dive bar, so review is based on that standard. It's more for drinking and dancing, good service, good drinks, good food...great prices. 4 draft beers, carna asada fries (yummy) and hot mess chicken sandwich (good). 48 bucks, not bad. Good for what it is! Wouldn't say no to going back. Very good dive bar.

Very cool hidden gem in old sac. Great staff. Friendly kind and helpful. Some very decent food at great prices. Very solid selection of craft beers on tap.Full bar with some nice NA offerings. Super open outdoor patio to take in a nice day. Plentiful pool tables. An excellent stop to pregame for events at the golden one center. Just a bit of a walk but it gets you a break from the over priced and crowded reality of DOCO spots. While it's nice to take in the DOCO crowds it's nice IMO to have adjacent option to just post up and chill. Highly endorsed.

The food runner guy had such a welcoming and sweet nature. Very nice. We went there after a Friday night Jack Frost show for Christmas. Had our 12 year old son with us. Loved that the sodas were served in highball glasses (or some other alcoholic glass). Reminded me of going to the bars with my dad when I was a little kid. Place was pretty clean while still rocking a dive vibe. Strange how dark it was with white walls compared to the Willamina's days with red and black. Food: burger looked great, mozzarella sticks basic but hot and crisp, the BLTA was good, would have enjoyed the peculiarly flavored aioli a bit more if the ciabatta bun wasn't so crispy/charred. Not at all burnt and maybe it was the quality of the bun in general but it was kind of tough to eat. Lots of perfectly cooked bacon. Why were the fries so basic but soooo tasty??? Nicely seasoned!! Good job. Patio seems to be a nice work in progress, I wish the place lots of success. Will def go back and try some loaded fries

Food was good and the drinks were ok. My main complaint is how long it took for the food to get out to us on a weeknight that didn't seem very busy.

Bartender JONAH has all the ingredients and decorations for marvelous craft drinks. My friends have different tastes and appetites and he hasn't disappointed them with his requested creations. I love beer and late night food bars and this place fills that space. About 6 beer drafts in addition to bottles. The asparagus spears taste healthy and the chicken fingers has a special sweet onion breaded coating. Friendly staff. Pool tables. 2 bars. In and outdoor seating. Late night space.

Shout out to our awesome bartender for making my new favorite drink - Raspberry Paloma. A paloma was on the drink special for the night but she offered any flavor and we couldn't pass up some raspberry. We collectively tried the carne asada fries, chicken tenders, and hot mess chicken sandwich. Food was bomb, music was poppin', vibe was 10/10. Would definitely stop again! Look forward to trying it out on the weekend when its more active.
