The Butterscotch Den

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was really good. I seasoned up my steaks seasoned up. My broccolini threw it on the grill and when I tell you those steaks, the best was like velvet. I also had the chocolate martini. My husband had the old-fashioned and he had the IPA beer. He also had the little after dental shot. He said it was OK. I had the peanut butter chocolate cake with ice cream. It was awesome. Just hands down 10 stars. I don’t know how you can get, but it was awesome. It was expensive. Tried a lot of stuff, but they’re the most part so awesome I will say again can’t wait.

Such a fun and unique spot! The vibes here are amazing warm lighting, chill atmosphere, and live music that really brings it all together. Drinks were awesome, great selection of digestifs too, and I love the concept of cooking your own burger or steak right on the grill, different experience. The pretzels from the secret menu were also awesome! Huge shoutout to Jordan, our host, for the great energy and for recommending the “princess shot,” we’ll definitely be trying that next time! If we ever come again, I will bring the homemade amaro. Perfect place for a relaxed night out with friends or date night. Highly recommend!

This place is a pure gem. Service is very friendly, drinks are amazing, especially their holiday season cocktails. Food? Can’t complain about that, I’ve cooked it on the grill in the center of the dining room, right next to live music while sipping on the cocktail. Great vibe 10/10. Also celebrated my birthday there. My favorite spot now.

Pop up Christmas Bar ? Nailed it !! We rolled in as 9 thirsty peeps. Sierra, the bartender made our time here memorable. The Christmas cocktails were fun and the Naughty & Nice shots took our time here over the top🚀 ❤️🎄🎅🎁💝

We had such a great time!! The Butterscotch Den is the place to have a Christmas cocktail! Everything about the place is wonderful! Sierra made the best drinks and welcomed our whole group for a fun night🎄

Stopped in around 4:30 on a Saturday with a party of 6 and no reservation, yet the staff was super accommodating. Jordan took great care of us and kept the drinks flowing. He even surprised our newly engaged friends with a round of shots. The $4 caviar bumps during happy hour are such a fun, bougie-on-a-budget bonus. Irish Hospitality bars are the BEST in Sacramento!

The Butterscotch Den is an intimate, moody, kinda hipster-ish small bar tucked away off broadway. Just driving by you could miss it but try and stop by for a beautiful bar with great vibes. The inside is perfectly decorated, the bar area is gorgeous, and the atmosphere of great for a more chill night out or date night! Came here with a friend as we both hadn’t been here yet and we enjoyed our time. They have various drink options and food, and we could see tables for dinning and an area where it seemed like patrons were cooking their own food! Very cool and their website says it is a “grill your own steakhouse” so I’m interested in trying it next time. The bar was packed on a Thursday night, we did wait a bit for one glass of wine while sitting at the bar but understandable considering how many people were there. Will definitely be back!

Beautiful interior and good drinks. Weird ambience due to the restaurant. Not allowed to sit in the booths on the "restaurant side" if you aren't eating--and that is most of the booths. As a result the bar was 3 people deep and slow on a Friday night. Drinks turned out great and then it's hard to find a place to stand and talk where you aren't in the way/jostling for space. Would be incredible if bar patrons could sit in booths and there was table service. The whole place should be the bar instead of dividing it. Good DJ too.

A fried recommended The Butterscotch Den to me as a great date-night spot and she was right! Just a few days before, I made a reservation through Yelp for an early Saturday evening at 4:45pm. The Butterscotch Den is a great place for drinks, food, and a unique atmosphere. Right when you walk in it feels like you traveled back to the 60s and are entering a dimly lit upscale bar - very mid-century modern in the best ways. Pretty immediately we were friendly greeted and taken to our booth right across from the community grill. There were only a few people at the bar and one other diner when we got there but after 5pm is when more people started showing up. We appreciated the fun vintage menu design and ordered 2 of their Le Freak, C'est Chic drinks to start - by recommendation of one of the staff that seated us. Their food menu is really simple but all the ingredients were high quality. We shared their ribeye (why not, it was date-night!), a hot dog, a baked potato with all the toppings, and a veggie side. The ribeye steak was delicious, juicy, and you can season it yourself with different options available at the community grill located at the center of the dining room. The hot dog was an all-beef hot dog that tasted way better than your average hot dog and it was a decent size. The baked potato was just as you'd expect a yummy high-quality baked potato to be - fluffy and steamy as you peel back the foil wrapping to top it with chives, butter, shredded cheddar cheese, and real bits of juicy bacon. Lastly, the veggies were asparagus, chopped zucchini, and chopped yellow squash wrapped in foil for the grill. We didn't season the veggies but would in the future and would also leave them on the grill a bit longer - still they were tasty and fresh with a nice crunch. The Le Freak, C'est Chic drink was so yummy and easy to drink, we finished it in minutes and were on to some other cocktails that are no longer on the menu, but were all delicious! The service was great - everyone was friendly and it was nice that all the employees were serving every table so you didn't have to wait for a single server. We'll definitely be back and maybe even on a night when they have jazz (Tues/Thurs nights) or the vinyl DJ (2nd Friday nights).

So cute during Christmas! We had a much needed GNO on Sunday, 12/15 and the place was pretty busy. We planned on eating dinner but there were no available tables when we arrived. We opted to sit in the corner near the bar towards the back of the restaurant for a round of drinks. There is a small counter-ish area with 2-3 bar stools, it worked for the 4 of us! The drinks were very creative and cute. I was DD so I asked the bartender to make me a minty, fruity mocktail. She wasn't the friendliest but I get it. A table opened up temporarily and they sat us until the next reservation at 8pm. We had about 50 minutes to grab another round of drinks and appetizers. We got the shrimp cocktail and 2 pretzels. Both nothing too extraordinary but paired perfectly with our drinks. Our server here was nice. We saw that dinner was available, a grill-yourself type of steak dinner concept where you cook your meat and potato at an indoor bbq grill station, which was quite interesting. We weren't really into that at the time so we decided to go elsewhere for our main meal. We ended our Butterscotch Deb experience with two slices of pie, which were delicious (from the real pie company). Overall, cool and fun ambience and great place to hang.

Been meaning to try this place out after it was recommended by an old manager, but after this first visit I probably should've done more research. When I first walked in I loved the vibe: low warm light with a kinda speakeasy feel. I was there for a small get together for a friend so wasn't sure how many of us there were, but it ended up being eight. We were sat at two small corner booths which did not fit us very comfortably. Luckily they were still connected by one center booth so we just took up that space too to be a little spread out. The server that came to help us did not come off as friendly initially. Little eye contact and not much regard to me ordering, which I believe factored into a mixup with my drink. I ordered the burger to split with my husband since we ate before we came, and to my surprise it came uncooked. I feel that I just missed that detail somewhere, but it made the grill in the middle of the room make a lot more sense. The trimmings, especially the lettuce, didn't look all that appetizing. The cooking might've been more enjoyable if I was prepared and if I knew how to properly cook a burger (I don't grill ever). It ended up being what looked like medium rare to rare, which was hard to even tell because of the lack of light and was not to my liking since I prefer medium. I thought it was cooked enough but I guess this is a lesson learned. I'm sure I would've enjoyed my experience more if circumstances were different (i.e. smaller party, ordering actual alcohol, not ordering food that requires cooking), but this time just wasn't it. Our server warmed up towards the end of our meal, and the second server helping us was very attentive and friendly. The guests in the table across from us were even conversing with us a bit too, so this place seems to attract the right crowd. Maybe I'll give it another go in the future.

First time here. We went with friends and were able to get in on some happy hour deals too. We had the cheeseburger, hot dog and 2 different types of steaks. The food was good and the experience. I didn't care for the side veggies. The drinks were good but there's a bit too much ice in there in my opinion. The service was good and attentive. The hostess who seated us had such a great positive attitude it was a nice greeting! The ambiance had a speak easy vibe to it and had cool pictures on the wall. Overall it was a great time and experience. They also provide you a post card you can mail out and they will take care of the postage so that's fun!!

This is a nice bar with affordable drinks and food! Any meat you will grill yourself. The ambiance was relaxed with dim lighting and oldies music. The bar was pretty warm, likely because of the grill. We arrived at 4:15pm on Wednesday and there was plenty of seating available. The grilling station was clean and well stocked with a variety seasonings and sauces. The servers were quick and checked on us regularly. The bathroom was clean. The baked potato was delicious, and the rest of my family loved their burgers! You can't beat a $3 hot dog during happy hour!

Cool place to come to with a date (or not ) , reminds me of old school steakhouses, dim lighting , nice music and cool atmosphere. A bit pricey since you're cooking your own steak but that's part of the allure . We will definitely be back !! Thanks for going above and beyond with the service Kalea !

This is a koo bar with good live music and drinks. They offer food service but YOU have to cook it yourself. I'm not into that when I go out. But it can be cost savings and fun if you're into that. The service is fast and friendly and the atmosphere has a koo vibe. I'll be back for the drinks and live music.

Made my first visit to The Butterscotch Den during the Miracle Popup. The place was DECKED OUT with holiday decor! I was obsessed. They had a holiday cocktail menu with so much variety of flavors to choose from. I ended up getting the Rudolph's Replacement, similar to an espresso martini. It was so tasty! It tasted like a vanilla frappuccino. They also had live jazz playing on the Tuesday night we went. They were fantastic and really set the holiday, cozy vibe. The prices were pretty fair. They have steak, burger, and hot dog options for you to choose. BEWARE: you will be cooking the meet yourself lol. I didn't know this going in but it was honestly so much fun. It definitely added to the experience. It was fun chatting with other guests at the stovetop and giving each other tips. My friends and I are already planning to visit again!

Truly a hidden gem of Sacramento. Tucked away in Oak Park they have a great cocktail selection. I especially enjoy their holiday pop-up during the winter months.

I recently attended a fantastic holiday pop-up organized by fellow Yelper Aileen, and it was an absolute blast! That truly got me into the festive spirit. And yes, for all the skeptics out there, "Die Hard" is definitely a Christmas movie! The place was decked out in holiday charm, with decorations that made it feel like a winter wonderland. We sat in a cozy booth, which was perfect for our group. The drinks were served in festive cups, adding an extra touch of holiday cheer to the experience. One of the highlights was the communal cooking center in the middle of the seating area. It was so fun to watch the cooking process. While there is limited street parking, don't worry - there's a lot in the back. Overall, it was a memorable night filled with holiday joy, thanks to Aileen's wonderful planning and the charming atmosphere of the bar. Highly recommend

Review for the Miracle Pop Up: Wow! What a fun little spot in Oak Park! Such a great retro vibe- can't wait to come back and see it again after the Holidays! But this review is for their Miracle Holiday Pop Up: what fun! Every inch is decorated for the holidays. With so many fun cocktails in festive mugs (that you can purchase to take home) and what wonderful service. We have come several times, as it was so much fun. My fave drink: the Santa slide (like a chocolate martini, big better. Enjoy the holiday fun while it lasts!

This place is so bitchin. No, I need a more retro word. This place is boss. Urban Dictionary says I can call it "ginchy". So yeah, it's totally ginchy here. In the best way possible. From the low lighting to the vintage deco to the old school cigarette machine to the top notch cocktails... the vine is super authentic retro and it slaps. Add to that the fact that you can stand around with your friends and cook a quick steak or a bangin hot dog and you've got yourself the recipe for a completely good time! This place is a solid ten thumbs up from me.

Really unique dining and bar experience! I came during their holiday pop-up and it was so fun! The holiday drink menu for the Miracle pop-up is always great. The inside was decorated from floor to ceiling which put us in the holiday mood! We waited about an hour for a table of four, so I would recommend making a reservation. It was packed and there was a live singer so it was pretty loud inside. The service was a little slow, but we understood it was very busy. The burger was awesome and it's fun to cook it yourself on the grill. My friend got the steak and it seemed the grill wasn't ideal for cooking it - it took almost 15 minutes to get it where it wasn't completely raw but that in turn made the outside overcooked. I would probably stick to the burgers or sausages. Overall, it was a super fun experience that's worth a visit!

This is a really cool spot! The ambiance is great, I love the eclectic vibes, the service was excellent, the drinks and food are great! Note that it is a grill your own food place! Also note that they give you around a 2 hour seating slot, so plan ahead if you're going to attend a jazz night :)

Oh my gosh we did not expect an experience when we made our reservations. This restaurant is so unique. We picked our meat and sides and they bring you a cut of meat that you season and cook yourself. My husband loved it. It was great for me because I have new food sensitivities that I am navigating. We don't drink alcohol but had the best mock-tails. The prices were decent and the service was excellent. They have live music and wish we could have stayed for the band but it was quiet and decorated beautifully. We will return when in town again!

The best Christmas pop up in sac by far! They do such a good job decorating, it really looks like Christmas exploded in there. Cooking our own food was also really fun, highly recommend.

One of my favorite places to go to! I could go on and on about this place. The service is always amazing-- even when they are super busy, the staff members make sure to check up on us and bring us everything we need. They're super friendly and talkative. The drinks are always made well and are unforgettable. I love the food and being able to grill up my own steak or hot dog. Every year, they go all out on the Christmas decorations and spread holiday cheer. Thank you butterscotch den for being so awesome!

This place has been on my Yelp list for a while and I'm disappointed that I didn't visit sooner because this place is the ultimate experience!!! Went on a Friday night and there was a live performance so being able to not only enjoy the experience of grilling my food I was able to enjoy my meal with a lovely performance :) Also, the cocktails are SO delicious!! The bartenders really not what they are doing. All in all, if you're still reading this, just stop reading and make a reservation right now!

OK, B.D. is listed as a steakhouse, but I am a vegetarian.... although, I should be honest, my partner and I came here for cocktails specifically. But.... here's my top 10 list of words to describe Butterscotch DEN... Moody... Romantic... Dark Ambiance... Diverse crowd... Hidden in plain sight (entrance wise)... Local 'hood favorite... Classy... LGBT Friendly Vibes... Full Bar... Indulgent... Bookmark this spot and visit when you can! We can't wait to return!

This place is great for a date or a social event with friends. All dishes come raw and need to be grilled and seasoned yourself. Instructions are given based on how you want your meat cooked. Personally, I find it more cost-effective to just get an 8 oz sirloin with baked potatoes and another side of your choice, along with a cocktail. My go-to is their off-menu daisy cosmo that the waitress kindly recommended - so yummy!! I'll definitely be back, either for a special occasion or just to have a fun time. This place aims to provide an overall experience; it's not a Michelin-grade food restaurant. I love the service and ambiance. Thank you, Butterscotch Den!

We had so much fun this holiday season going to the Miracle Bar pop up! We arrived for our reservation time and were seated within about 10 minutes. We got a drink in the bar while we waited so that felt like we got to extend our time in the restaurant. We enjoyed the special Christmas cocktails as well as the Freezer Martini! We ordered dinners of steak and baked potatoes, and in my case the steamed shrimp and garlic bread. All of which we grilled ourselves on the huge grill in the center of the restaurant. It's part of the fun of Butterscotch Den! I hope to come back before next December, but one thing is for sure I want to make the Miracle Bar part of my holiday tradition so I hope they continue to do it! Wish I would have taken more pics!

Such a great place. One of our favorite places to come. We sat at the bar. Ordered the usual daddy cool andold fashioned. Met Trevor, who introduced us to a new drink called Too Soon. It's a must try! I will be getting it next time. Trevor was fun and spoiled us. Everybody there is so great, the ambience is great, and the drinks are great. If you haven't gone, you need to try it. Also on the first Friday of each month they have an amazing singer, Coco...you will be leaving wanting to come back.

Awful popular place for no reason. Nice people. Fun atmosphere. But crazy busy and just a bar. But we really enjoyed it and will be back!

Found them while searching for steaks in Sacramento. It's easily more of a dive bar than a steakhouse. They do have the liquor worthy for a steakhouse, but the beer and wine selections run very short. There was a lot of parking available a block away by 34th St on a Saturday at 5 pm. A short walk to the establishment's unassuming marked door, and we were finally inside this 21+ only resto-bar after being on our sights for months now. The den was only serving two tables and a couple at the bar when we arrived, but we still got checked-in via our reservations. We were sat by our host and server in a corner booth with views of this hole in the wall's two sections. The first upon entering is the bar with a couple of tables, and the second partition is where the grill, stage & more tables. I now see why they're always packed. The cocktails we got were whatever was on the menu. I chose my usual Old Fashioned while my wife got an Espresso Martini. Both A1. As we were ordering for food, our server asked if we knew how food was done here. After acknowledging that we did research, we got our uncooked items wrapped in paper for the steaks and aluminum foil for the vegetables and bread as short while after. Now, I love steak, and I grilled at home with an indoor cooker, but I don't really have the confidence to do it on a hot grill. Our friendly server tipped us to do 5 minutes for each side for the ribeye and 4 minutes on each side for the top sirloin. Our deed, however, was 4 minutes for both on the first side and 3 minutes on the other side, and that got us perfect medium cooking for both slabs of beef. Struggled to season and grill our raw items for 7 minutes, plated our dishes, and proceeded to our table to feast on our accomplishment. I didn't ask for the chimichurri (you should!), and we should've spiced up more (using BD's own seasoning), but the steaks and side dishes turned up good anyway. We capped our dinner with a Pink Squirrel, which was an excellent option for dessert. They don't offer the Bourbon Butterscotch pudding anymore, and that was a bummer. We loved the experience and the struggles of taking photos in the dimly lit amber atmosphere that is Butterscotch Den. Snagged us a couple of wrapped hard candy when we left. Thought they were mints in the dark, but guess what. They were butterscotch. Insert mind blown emoji here. Unapologetically different printed on their souvenir postcard. No argument here.

Khalia, Kameron, and Emily made our night! we arrived as a large group late in the night, and they did their best to welcome and accommodate us, even including special shots for the entire group and the guest of honor, our friend who was getting married in three months. Their outstanding service made our visit what it was. We are incredibly grateful for everything that they made possible for us as a group.

Came for the Miracle on Broadway pop-up Christmas bar in December. This was my first visit to the Den, I tried to go once before when they first opened but it was a long wait for a table. I was so glad to discover that they were taking Yelp reservations for the Miracle pop-up and will continue to take reservations going forward! The entire bar/restaurant area was completely decked out for the holidays. Lots of gold streamers, Christmas trees, movie portraits and tons more little cheerful pieces of decor. It was super adorable! I have attended a few of the other miracle bar pop-ups over the years. This was one of the best I've been to. The specialty cocktails are all batched, so no substitutions are allowed. It made me venture out and try a gin drink (Marshmallows and Unicorns) I wouldn't have tried otherwise - it was amazing! The holiday mugs and glassware are really unique, most were also available to purchase. The food was so good. If you aren't in the know, this is a cook-it-yourself spot with a large shared grill in the main dining room. Don't let this dissuade you, the ventilation system is amazing: there was no smell or smokiness throughout my visit. The grill was hot with plenty of cool spots too. The food prices are very reasonable, I got the flank steak, baked potato and veggie packet. I'll be back to try their freezer door martinis soon. The staff was fun and friendly, very attentive!

Let's see, how do I say this.... THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC. Good steaks, at a fair price, you cook em' how you like em', servers are super nice, drinks are great, happy hour is amazing, vibe is positive, music is perfect. Just go, and have a great time, ok?

I've been meaning to try The Butterscotch Den for a while now and I'm so glad to have stopped by during their Miracle Christmas Pop-Up event on a Tuesday evening. Despite not having reservations, we were fortunate to have been seated at a table after a short wait. The 1970s vibe is awesome. There are cozy 2- and 4-seat booths, a do-it-yourself grill complete with condiments and grilling utensils, and a huge/long bar where the bartenders make delicious drinks. Of course, there is random vintage decor everywhere with over-the-top gaudy (in a good way) Christmas decor during the pop-up event. We tried their Butterscotch Den burger (Wagyu beef patty, buns, a slice of American cheese, lettuce, red onion, tomato) and veggie packet (cherry tomatoes on a skewer, zuchinni, asparagus in an Italian marinade), Marshmallows and Unicorn cocktail (served in an adorable unicorn mug), and Yipee Ki Yay Mother F******! cocktail (served in a Santa Pants mug). Hubby grilled our patties and buns while I grilled the veggies. I was impressed with the quality of ingredients provided. And every staff who came by our table was outstanding: friendly and helpful, we knew exactly what to expect and how to make our dining experience fun. The burger and veggies were really tasty. There was a live band playing Christmas songs, too, which made our dinner even more enjoyable! The Marshmallows and Unicorn cocktail was a bit herbal-forward tasting for my liking but the Yipee Ki Yay cocktail was soooo good. On the way out, there is a plate of individually-wrapped Butterscotch candies on the vintage cigarette machine. Don't pass by without taking one because it's a great piece of candy!

We ordered from the Happy Hour menu, 2x sirloin, side order of bake potato and portobello, 2x hot dog, and 2x cocktail drinks. First, you cook your own meat and hot dog that was fun, no issues there. Food was fine, you put your own seasoning which they have on the BBQ grill. Drinks was great. Side was also good. The issue is the server didn't say the side was extra. The sides was more than the steak. But it's ok, now we know we will order more steak than sides. But over all it was good. Yes, we will go again for Happy Hour and no sides.

I'm glad places like this exist. It's different and executed well. Amazing friendly service in a quaint nicely appointed bar with great music choices. I'd want to bring family from out of town here. Amazing cocktails and shockingly good food!

Perfect for date night! My husband and I came here on a random evening and I'm so glad we did. The staff members were very welcoming and friendly. The bartenders were attentive, fun, And knowledgeable on drink recommendations. I was super impressed that they had Uncle Nearest whisky :-D The Christmas decorations were over the top.. in the BEST way imaginable!! The environment was super cozy. I loved the vibe, and the people in there. Cooking our own food made date night that much more romantic! Can't wait to go back.

Always wanted to check this place out because of the open grill style they offer. Steak selection is limited but simple. Holiday drink menu was up and the place was busy. Lighting was a little dim but we made it work.

What an experience this was!!! It was such a fun little place to have date night. We had no expectations walking in but we had such an amazing night. The wait for a table was 45 minutes because there are no reservations taken for Fridays and Saturdays--you have to make it in person. The hostess was so nice and told us to enjoy some drinks at the bar and watch the live performance. The drink menu was limited but they were delicious craft cocktails. We listened to the live singer (who was taking song requests) and enjoyed some drinks. The 45 minutes went FAST! It was a little strange to have your food come out raw and you grill it yourself. They had a variety of spices from normal to vegan for your food and shared cooking utensils. I can't express how much we enjoyed Butterscotch Den and can't wait to go back!

Really fun and chill spot. We went as a date night, but lots of people were there in friend groups, so pretty great for everyone. Ambiance is top tier, love the commitment to the classic retro vibes, even down to the vintage looking menus. The music was awesome, and there's free parking around the neighborhood. Checks off all the boxes, highly recommend this place.

Service was okay. Booths were blown out. Place makes cash...people come here for a photo/IG experience with the $16-$20 drinks. Make it make sense. I'm cooking my own food, fine. You charge auto-grat, fine. Fix your interior....its all of the booths btw.

This bar is such a vibe! Love the interior as it takes you back to a different era. Came here during happy hour yesterday and it was such a cool spot to start our little foodie/bar crawl. Didn't order any food but stayed here for more than just one drink will be back to try the food next time. Loved the caviar bumps to complement our tequila shots.

An experience for certain- I wasn't aware it was a going to be a cook your own steak/ meat experience, but my food was delicious and it was fun/funny to cook together. Great for small group or date night.

How can you not love this place?! The ambiance gives expensive but the prices give affordable. You literally cook your own steaks, burgers, hotdogs. There's a community grill that you share and with a variety of seasonings and cooking utensils. The drinks are on point! And there is even entertainment every 2nd Sat. Make your reservation now!

Hidden Gem - you will think that it's closed and not open by looking on the outside which makes it all that much better when you step inside and see that it's completely packed wall-to-wall and you can also eat here which I had no idea you can make your own steaks and everybody raves that is so good. The weight was about an hour for that so we decided we would just go ahead and enjoy our drinks. They have a list of variety of different Christmas drinks. We wanted a Mojito so we got that in a Christmas glass and it looks so pretty presents all around the wall. This place is a little pricey but definitely a nice place out foradult adults.

We had a great time here. I tried to make reservations here for tonight Tuesday night, but their website said no availability until Sunday. We decided to walk in tonight around 6pm. We're very glad we did. We love the subdued butterscotch lighting. They had several happy hour specials including "freezer martinis with a bump of caviar." At $12. we couldn't go wrong. The drinks were small, but tasty and the caviar was also a special treat. We both had sirloin steaks and salad. My wife had vegetables and I had corn. We split a baked potato. We finished with 2 sundaes. One vanilla and one raspberry swirl. Gunther's ice cream - so good. Everyone was so friendly and we really enjoyed cooking our food on their grill. The price for everything was about $100. very reasonable for such a delicious unique meal.

Ambiance: Think of a 70s vibe lounge/bar venue minus the cigarette smoke and being run by young hipsters. Full bar and separate dining area. Dark inside, which has a perfect date night vibe, however, still fun enough for a friends meet up.. My favorite part was the 70s R&B music playing ( pretty loud, too!) Think Teddy P, Al Green , Earth Wind Fire , Sister Sledge, and more . I noticed a small stage for live performances as well, but apparently not on Saturday evenings, or maybe we were too early.? Food - you order your steak cut -rib eye , NY, or sirloin and even a burger choices. Our sirlion cuts arrived uncooked in butcher paper, which we took to the grill location in the middle of the restaurant. Seasonings and sauces are available to enhance your meat flavor We also ordered garlic bread & corn on the cob, which we grilled as well. We also ordered a garden salad & baked potatoes with all of the fixings. Food was good and very reasonably priced. Service was polite and efficient. Not your everyday steak house, but if you are looking for speak easy type cocktails, yummy food, and a fun atmosphere, this is your spot !

This place is such a vibe! It's funky retro style takes you back into a different era. They serve classic cocktails, and have a great menu with a unique twist - you grill everything yourself. They're a great place to go just for the drinks and socializing at the bar, too. But if you're so inclined, and up for a little challenge, order a little dinner or apps while you're there, too! The drinks and food was great! The servers were attentive and nice. So much fun coming here! We'll definitely be back.

The Butterscotch Den... you sweet little thang~ My husband and I came on the first Friday of the month and we were pleasantly surprised by the live singer! :) We came in around 7pm without a reservation for 2 people and were told that the way it would be 45 minutes. We proceeded to sit at the bar and engage in a conversation with 2 guys standing there too. After a couple of drinks and good conversation with our new friends, we got invited to sit with them when they're seat was called... and obviously we accepted! Lol! The waitress was able to split our table's ticket so we could order drinks and food separately. We each got steaks and sides~ the cooking aspect was really fun and it was awesome watching the singer perform while cooking! My husband ended up becoming friends with a guy at the grill, so that guy eventually found us and bought the boys drinks! Lol!!!!! All I have to say, is that the crowd that this restaurant attracts is pretty amazing~! We had such a pleasant (and loud) time based on all the amazing people we met here. Super a random experience, but it enhanced our time here so much more because of it! Thanks for an awesome night! Oh, I guess I should mention the food. The grill is nice and hot, so the steaks cook quite well! We each enjoyed our meal, the garlic bread and the portobello mushroom. My husband and I ended up getting around six or seven cocktails. Overall, with everything combined (our two steaks, garlic bread and mushroom + 6-7 drinks), our meal came out to about $150 + tip. Not bad.

Last night my friends and I went for drinks. What made this a 5-star experience was the service. Caleb took such good care of us & the cocktails were delish and classy. The host and servers were so friendly it was very enjoyable. Thanks for the great customer service. We will definitely go back.

First of, congrats Butterscotch Den for being rank one of the best startup cocktail bars in the country by tails of the cocktail! I've been here once, but once I saw them rank one of the best bars the country I had to come back and celebrate! The service alone speak for itself. The server was very attentive and checked in on my group often. I ordered a Phony Negroni. It's a N/A version of a Negroni! This tasted amazing, taste very similar to a Negroni just without alcohol. Love places that have N/A classic cocktails without alcohol. This is a perfect place to catch up with friends grab a drink and grill your own meat! Would I recommend this place? Yes! Cheers!

''Twas a fantastic night tonight! My friends brought me out to this superb intimate dining restaurant. I thought we were just having food and drinks, but tonight had a special guest performer. Her name was Coco Lamar. She did an amazing job covering numerous of songs and her jokes were hilarious too. The Service were very attentive to us and always checked in on us even the bartenders did their rounds. Concept of the restaurant is that you'll order your food and cook it yourself on the grill. Pretty simple and gave us estimate of the time to cook it that way we dnt over cook or undercook. The drinks were pretty good. I ordered something that wasn't on the menu and they were able to make it which is a plus. My friends drink was an old fashion and it was strong. Next time I'll prob order it. Her gf had a couple drinks call the paper plane and martini which is their twist of the original. I'll definitely return again. The price were well priced for food and drinks. Being interactive with the performer was epic. Fun night full of laughs and memories. Thanks to my friends.

Love love love! Amazing steaks.. grill it ya self, smooth cocktails and amazing decor! This place is a sleeper.... Sacramento! This place has vibe, great steaks , solid cocktails and some amazing drink slingers... like the gentle nod to the Turf Club in SD.

I can't tell you how many people have told me to try Butterscotch den. This hot and new spot in Sacramento has already captured attention and love from locals. My husband and I stopped in on a Thursday night at about 8:30pm and we're greeted by friendly staff that took down our name for a table before we went to the bar for a drink while we waited. The vibe in here is so cool. Funky wallpaper, disco balls and more to look at while you're sipping drinks. The lights are low and the music is great. We started with their Den Old Fashioned and the Le Freak, C'est Chic and then once we were sat at our large rounded booth we ordered the top sirloin with Chimichurri, the steamed prawns and the veggie side. It's so fun to grill your own food and you can season it and cook it to your taste. The prawns were our favorite part- until we ordered dessert. Their bourbon butterscotch pudding is a real treat, so flavorful and the perfect end to a great meal. We stayed for a couple more drinks and did some people watching while others were grilling. There were some very interesting grilling techniques being used. Our sever, Sara, was awesome and made sure we were doing well and that our water cups were filled. This spot is an amazing date night spot or even group hang activity. The drinks are great and the quality of the food is up to you (though the raw materials are great quality) Key takeaways: get the Chimichurri for your steak, don't miss out on dessert and DO NOT PUT OIL DIRECTLY ON THE GRILL. (We saw someone pour oil straight on their steak and there were Flames) We already can't wait for our next visit.

I've spent many of nights at this location over the years with friends but had been yet to check out what is now The Butterscotch Den. I went here on Saturday evening with family after explaining to them that there's a large grill in the middle of the room where you could cook your own meal, interest were sparked. The Butterscotch den is more than just a grill in the middle of the room though. This is a spot where you can grab drinks, get cozy in 1 of their booths and enjoy some live music. This a great spot to go out with friends or maybe whatever your version of a date spot is. When I went, it was busy and seemingly standing room only at the bar. Make sure you reserve a booth if you want to sit. The bartenders were very nice and although busy, made effort to make sure everyone was good. If you're looking for something different, I'd recommend checking out the Butterscotch Den. Cook your steak and stay for the show.
