The Golden Bear

Dope DJ, has two different bars/dance floors. First room is more chill, hang out. The back rooms is where you go to the twerked on.

Super deceiving reviews. Wanted food and beverages and a place to meet someone. By the time my party arrived, I was ready to leave. Walking into this place.. It turns out it's just a dive bar with its regulars. I walked up to the bar expecting to order a drink, but the bar tender just glanced at me and went on his way. Keep in mind their was 1 table seated and then only 3 people at the tiny uncomfortable bar area. Looking around, I saw their drink menus on the tables and food options on the wall. Being as how I was not acknowledged at the bar, I sat at a table. 20 minutes later, after servicing the table next to me 6 times, the bartender comes over and tells me it is casual. I have to order at the bar. I didn't waste the time ordering. This place is not disabled friendly or friendly in general. The staff made me feel like a burden, just wanting to be a patron. I informed my guests we could find better service and atmosphere elsewhere. I'm not feeling like a crony bar fly.

Two djs in 2 different rooms each with its own bar and a $4 cover. Young lively crowd on a Friday night. I enjoyed the scene

I went here for the October vegan challenge, cool place reminds me of a dive bar in the inside, but cooler. Lol the fried appetizers were good but very salty. The pasta was ok little too 🔥 for me but maybe not for others.

Amusing drinking and dining spot-popular with university students but as a foursome of 30-40 somethings, we held down a table and enjoyed a meal and drinks to end a fun day in Sac. My favorite dish was the Kimchi Fried Rice. We tried some pizzas as well. Excellent bartending - he was so busy but kept all the orders straight and got the drinks out fast! The Bánh mì is still on the menu along with a few others from the episode of DinersDriveInsDives-but it seems the menu is way smaller and the focus is more on the fun bar and music venue part of the business. Solid bar/dining experience.

Awesome food, nice cocktails & beer options!

Would describe this spot as eccentric chill (in the best way lol)

Had “Bell the Cat” cocktail which reminded me of sour patch kids- sweet/sour and delicious.

Mushroom pizza & Salad were soo tasty, downed quickly before a second round of drinks (cider & pale ale).

10/10 wanna come back ASAP.

A Midtown favorite, the Golden Bear did not disappoint during a recent lunch visit. Great food, good drink selection, and an eclectic display of local art. I think the walls and floors were still pulsing from the dance party the night before!

Stopped by due to an online recommendation. We were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is a little sparse but the food makes up for it. The chef takes great pride in his work. The turnip soup was amazing.
