We've been wanting to hit up Block for an official Thursday since they opened, but the place is cozy small with mostly large booth that you can cram about 6 people into if your friends don't have cooties, and only one large community table. Since they don't take reservations, it was always a tough one for us.

Enter Twitter. One tweet with a side of friendliness with one of the owners and Thursday Drunks had the large table reserved for us! Wow, did we feel fancy! We crammed 12 drunks into our special table for some really amazing cocktails. Guy on a Buffalo and the Hemingway were the big winners that night.

The laundry list of dried and cured meats is incredible and may I suggest ordering anything you haven't heard of before. It works out well when we do it. Also, priority on what they make or cure in house. It's a real treat to have some great talent like this in Sacramento. It's also cool to see the giant butcher block, whole pigs and heads in the back. They aren't fucking around!

For the not meat-at-heart, their cheese selection is good, their sandwiches are delicious and their salads are top-notch. Overall, check this place out. It's perfect for sharing, a small bite or full meal. I'm working my way through their menu. A delicious job.
