Shady Lady & Emily's Birthday

1409 R St #101
Sacramento, CA 95811
(916) 231-9121

Emily had a birthday and she picked on of our favorite places! We took over a large booth and were oozing out of it with quite a few of us just blocking the walkway with our cocktails. Oh well! We do tip well, so you know.

We took shifts eating and drinking at the table and exploring their very large specialty cocktail menu. All of them are good. I've never had a mediocre drink here. Nicely done Emily. You are a keeper.

Taka's Sushi for Anna's Birthday

11773 Fair Oaks Blvd
Fair Oaks, CA 95628
(916) 961-2118

She broke her arm in fine style so what does she do for her birthday? Flies to Vegas for a concert and flies back just in time for her birthday Thursday at Taka's Sushi in Fair Oaks. She's so fancy!

The food is great in this well established sushi joint. They do rolls well and also really nail the traditional basics. Definitely a place to check out if you live in the area!

The birthday breaky-army girl!

Hot Italian for RobotGoBen's Birthday

1627 16th St
Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 444-3000

Ben picked Hot Italian for his birthday and he even got a nice little Spongebob Squarepants crabby patty from one of the youngest drunks! We dined on amazing pizzas and carafes of cocktails, beer and wine. Oh, and if you can get that nice big round table in the back - that's just the tops.

Pangaea Two Brews Cafe for John's Birthday

2743 Franklin Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95818
(916) 454-4942

For John's birthday, he picked Pangaea which is just the excuse we needed to trek back to one of our favorite places that we just don't get back to often enough. We showed up a week before their kitchen remodel was done (they have a new fancy chef!) so we'll have to come back again soon to test out the upgraded menu. As always, the beer selection is diverse and sometimes esoteric but they can always steer you in the right direction to suit your tastes.
