Radclyffe's Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

Okay, I've been back a few times. Great local spot. The empanadas colombianas with cheese are the best. When's the last time you saw Scrimshaw bottles on a menu? Amazing. Pumpkin beer (can) tastes like gingersnap cookies. I liked the fruit mezcalita too--not too sweet and made with 400 conejos. Súper nice bartenders. 1st visit: Didn't expect such nice cocktails. The pear rye sour was totally decent. Happy hour beer was $5 or $6--amazing. Quick and attentive service, even as it got busier. Pool table. Show tunes on the wall. Hooray, a good neighborhood gay bar! And the empanadas colombianas look right: Yellow corn masa and crispy. I need to try them next time.

We had a lot of fun here. The staff is really nice and friendly. Had a great vibe. Good music playing. The food was DELICIOUS! We tried most of the menu and none of it disappointed. The quesabirria tacos were amazing! The cubanitos, empanadas, salchipapas, tacos callejeros….all of it. And the wings! I’ll be going back for more food, drinks, and good times.

Such a fun and welcoming spot for a casual drink or bite to eat with friends! The bartenders are super friendly and the newly renovated space is cute and stylish. They do regular weekly drag shows here with local talent as well as other events like karaoke and community gatherings. They have a pool table, a touch tunes jukebox for playing music, and an outside patio with picnic tables.

If you're on the hunt for a spot where you can feel totally at ease and welcomed, even in a world that's a bit unpredictable, this place is just the ticket. The atmosphere is super relaxed and accepting. It's a fantastic hangout for catching up with pals over delicious drinks and grub. Oh, and don't forget to swing by their events page for some unique experiences. Enjoy!

Rude bartender Saturday 4pm Terrible service Not friendly Try other local establishments Not welcoming to non locals. We were there over 15 min No service. Like we were invisible. 5 people in the bar. Bartender was rude! This place is a joke for female friendly. Sorry we chose this spot. We moved on quickly! Much better service at Mojo's around the corner.

EDIT: They removed the "Republicans are welcome here" post after getting eaten alive in the comments, but I stand by the rest of what I said. I was originally going to write a long post lamenting about the many changes in atmosphere since the change in ownership, but the business's own recent decision ("gay Republicans are welcome here") says enough. This used to be a perfectly fine gay dive bar. The new owners painted it pink, got rid of all of the kitschy art, and named it after a fascist sympathizer. Pro-palestine and pro-trans bathroom graffiti gets painted over. NSFW pictures of people are taken and posted on the public Instagram without their consent. The only things that make this bar worth going to are furry night, karaoke, and bartender Patrick.

It’s a very nice Gay Friendly Restaurant / Bar / Nightclub , they should get rid of the pool table it’s taking up too much room , the outdoors seating is only adequate , my champagne glass was only filled about 75% full by one bartender and after it happened 2 times , I decided to wait in another line and it was better , the empanadas were fantastic , very eclectic Crowd , came here on Saturday, they were Pole Dancing , I didn’t really like the lack of good lighting and picnic tables outside were very uncomfortable and had ants all over ., idk if I would come back, maybe but maybe not , it wasn’t bad at all, it was just different, not the best service for the prices you pay.

This place is an absolute GEM! It is newly renovated and from the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and at home. Their happy hour is unbeatable, they also offer such amazing cocktails that are expertly crafted, and have a fantastic selection of beer and liquor. If you're in the mood for food, their quesadilla is hands down the best I’ve ever had, they also have a variety of delicious Latin street food options that never disappoint. Don't miss their great mocktail choices too – perfect for everyone! The vibe is super inviting and it’s a safe space for all to enjoy. I’m also a huge fan of the pink pool table – such a fun touch! The fact that the pool table accept both cash and cards is a bonus. The owners are so lovely which makes every visit extra special knowing that. On top of all that, they host the best drag shows in Sacramento. I can’t recommend this place enough – go check it out, you won’t regret it!

Radclyffe's is everything I didn't know I needed in a bar! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the warmest energy and the most stylish, inclusive atmosphere in Sacramento. The staff are absolute gems--friendly, fast, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The cocktails? Chef's kiss! Perfectly balanced, creative, and consistently delicious. Whether you're into a classic drink or something unique and seasonal, they'll hook you up with something amazing. I also love that they feature local ingredients and put real thought into their menu. The music, the crowd, the vibe--it all feels effortlessly cool. Whether you're out with friends or flying solo, Radclyffe's makes everyone feel welcome and seen. It's a safe, fun space that celebrates community, queerness, and good times. If you haven't been yet, what are you waiting for? Radclyffe's is a Sacramento gem that deserves all the love. The bartender who served me was Jane and she was super sweet, attentive and great!!!! Will definitely be back with my friends to play some pool!!!

I was happy to hear that Radclyffe's would remain LGBTQ+ friendly when they took over Bear Dive. The space is bigger than it looks on the outside and there are indoor and outdoor areas. The drinks are tasty, and fairly priced (we were surprised when we bought a round for ourselves and some friends). They also offer some delicious bites, and serve food late. During our visit they had some special entertainment happening and the place was packed. We found a spot in the corner, by the pool table and realized it was a good spot, but we were about to make friends with the people playing pool as we'd need to keep shifting so they could take certain shots. I ordered the Los Cubanitos ($15.50) which are cuban sandwich sliders that come with fries and they were delicious. These would be a great option at the beginning, or the end of a night. The staff was friendly and there was a good vibe in the place the whole time. We'll definitely be back again.

Was so excited when I first heard about Radclyffe's opening, and have finally gotten to check it out! They are making a conscious effort to help build community and provide a safe fun space for the LGBTQ community to party. Fun drink menu - but the bar set up makes it a challenge to order when it's busy. Have quite a few bites to eat, tried the mulitas and was pleasantly surprised (bar food can really be hit or miss). Nice outdoor patio, and have had great DJs each time I've been. Definitely a new regular spot!

I loved the margaritas! This has to be one of my new favorites because the mescal has the smokiness to it. If it was like the other margaritas it would wash it out. But the smokiness just builds it up and adds another layer of sophisticated flavor. The empanadas were good as well. Albeit, I would have liked some garlic aioli sauce instead of house salsa. But Service was great! Big Ben kept us entertained and told us about all the events they have. The place is small but welcoming. Found this spot on way to convention center waiting for Hamilton to start!

I went in to have a drink and saw they also had food so I ordered the birria tacos and the empanadas. They were both really good. The birria tacos tasted authentic and consomé was great.The chefs even came out to greet us and deliver the food to us. They were really nice. The space is cute and has a pool table and an outside sitting area. Definitely recommend stopping by to have a drink and some food.

My friends and I went to their sapphic love theme night and we had the best time! The DJ was playing all the right songs and the bartenders were so friendly! I had never been to Radclyffe's before, but this was one of the most inclusive, safest bars (gay or otherwise) that I had been to in a looong time. Maybe ever. The whole place was just full of girls, gays and theys and I loved it. No creepy guys hitting on me or my friends, trying to dance up on us- it was just an amazing, freeing, supportive atmosphere . I'm not sure if it's always like this, but if it is this might be my new go-to spot!

Would definitely recommend this place! I went here for the Femme Friday and it was super fun. Drinks were good and a very reasonable price. All the workers were nice and the bartender is a hard worker. I will definitely be going again especially if they have another Femme night. The dancers are so pretty and it's so nice to have some sapphic events in the area.

Good food, great service, and a very cute / welcoming space. Will definitely be back to enjoy their large patio in the summer. Really enjoy their diverse events ranging from dance nights to makers markets. A lot of queer joy to be experienced here. Definitely a safe space.

We love this place! The food and cocktails are on point. It's a bar with real food!!!

Great service, super clean. The drinks are amazing, and the new food is impressive. I love the changes for the better. I would highly recommend you say hi to the new owners. Hard working and down to earth Couple. Caroline's is the face of the bar and watching her interact with the customers was fun to watch.

cyrus did a great job! i had an amazing time, such a safe place for other lesbos!! solid pricing too!
