The Republic, Featuring Drewski's

908 15th Street
Sacramento, CA 95814

If you've been lucky enough to try out the mobile food truck, Drewski's Hot Rod Kitchen than you know how good their decadent sandwiches and addictive tots are. Well, you have a new place to get your fix.

They took over a huge place on 15th near the Torch Club that used to be a douchy lounge of some sort. Now it's a spacious, multi-use bar with all your Drewski's favorites and a few more. Full bar, pool tables, lounge area, skee ball (that was broken), and lots of high boy tables means you can always make yourselves at home no matter what kind of night you're looking for.

The Drewski's dog was by far the best food item. Spiced, wrapped in crisp bacon and delicious. The Chicken & waffles was a dissapointment with Eggo waffles and kind of dry chicken. Actually, avoid all the chicken, it's not what they do best. The Totchos (nachos & tater tots), was very good in concept but the tots were a little undercooked so just sort of fell apart in the basket. If they were just cooked a little more crispy, it would be fabulous!

The well drinks are served in plastic glasses which was sort of weird at first, but you get over that quickly. Also, only one of the five doors that face the streeet allow you inside. (head to the far right!). It's frustrating to get in, but once you are you can watch everyone else try every door which is sort of entertaining!
