Citizen Hotel List Party & Grange

926 J Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 447-2700

The Citizen Hotel did a fun little party to celebrate the unveiling of their local and topical Naughty & Nice list in their display window. Downstairs was the nice area and upstairs at the Scandal Bar was the naughty area. It was a great little set up with lots of people despite the horrendous weather. They has some specialty cocktails, Santa's helpers, a photo booth and snow floating down into the lobby.

We had over a dozen drunks and sometimes drunks dress up fancy and show up for the shindig and eventually sat down for dinner at the Grange. One of the better restaurants in Sacramento, their food is always top-notch. A bit pricey for a Thursday, but what the hell - it was delicious.

There were lovely photos of the party, the fancy drunks and the gorgeous dinner. But they died along with my phone that weekend. Sorry, you just have to imagine how well we clean up.

Drink with Your Family Day 2012

Another year of Drink with Your Family Day! Since it always falls on a Thursday, we encourage the drunks to share their meal photos and drink to make the family easier to handle. Well done drunks. Well done!

Zocalo Roseville

1182 Roseville Parkway
Roseville, CA 95678
(916) 788-0303

Zocalo has expanded to Roseville at the Fountains taking over the old Tres Agaves location. Seems like a good fit since Zocalo is a little more upscale than other Mexican restaurants. I think you pay for the location more than anything since the prices are high. The food is good, but it didn't blow any of the drunks away. For the options around that area, it's nice that it is there but might not make the top of the list. It is, however, a great place to take a pit stop, drink good margaritas and get a snack if you are doing a hard day of mall shopping.

Fox & Goose

1001 R Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 443-8825

Small  group of dedicated drunks this week! Fox & Goose recently took over the space behind them so now they have an event space and fancy new bathrooms with giant underground signage. If you remember the old bathrooms, you know this is a big freaking deal!

This place is an old stand by. Good beers on tap, and expansive menu of traditional pub grub with some nice lighter choices, veggie options and much more. They usually have a small band in the bar area, so if it's not your scene, just get seated in the dining area.

American River Brewing Company

11151 Trade Center Drive, Ste 104
Rancho Cordova, CA 95670

This is one of the newer brewers in the area, but they have opened a tasting room in their brew space located in an industrial area of Rancho Cordova. Some nights they will have a food truck out front but normally it's just some pretzels and cozy space to try their beers.

They have some interesting beers and rotate them out pretty often. The folks are really nice and if this is near your place, you should just go, hang out and have a good beer.

I tried the sampler of all 6 beers on tap and like their blonde and their English version of an IPA the best. The red was also a favorite.

Bottom line, go try it out even though it's in a weird little warehouse building. Totally worth it.
