Best Dive Bars

You'll be greeted by a friendly face and a cold beer at one of these fine Sacramento dive bars. Enjoy a game on the big screen or a game on shuffleboard. There's even one bar that's run by big Steelers fans.

Club 2-Me

4738 J St, Sacramento, California 95819
(916) 451-6834

Walk into this so-called 'dive bar' and be greeted with happy faces from the bar staff and the patrons. Pool, shuffleboard and darts are just some of the games that are featured at this East Sacramento establishment. With nine beers on tap to keep customers happy, no one will ever go home thirsty.  The night before Thanksgiving as well as St. Patrick's Day are huge events for this bar, so expect big crowds and lots of good times.  And if you ever become a regular, be sure to ask about how you could join their softball team to work off those good times you've had there!

Chargin's Bar & Grill

4900 J St
Sacramento, CA 95819
(916) 454-1524

If there is a "Cheers" like bar in Sacramento, then this is it. Literally, everyone knows your name if you frequent this hot spot enough.  The drinks are cheap, the bartenders are friendly (and will remember your drink order), there is always parking, and there is a great juke box that plays all the hits. Chargin's Bar & Grill has also been featured in CBS13's "Best Brunch List", after ranking among the greats for their "Frank's Fried Rice" dish.  So, party the night away and come back in the morning for a spectacular brunch with friends!

Zebra Club

The Zebra Club, or better known as the "Z", is among Midtown Sacramento resident's favorite watering holes.   The drinks are cheap, the bar eats are amazing, and they have a great outside patio to hang with friends.   If you're feeling really adventurous, try a "Dr. Pepper."  It's a concoction that tastes just like the soda pop, but has a lot more of a kick.  There have also been rave reviews about their "Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches." So stop in, sit down and enjoy!

Cheaters

3221 Folsom Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95816
(916) 736-0563

This bar is known to be a place where Pittsburgh Steelers fans can go and cheer, but regardless of your team preference, this place is known to be a great time! There are games to play, a jukebox, cheap drinks, great bartenders and good people.   The inside of the bar is long and narrow, with lots of stools to sit down on. Check it out!
