The Back Door Lounge is a classic Old Sacramento spot. It's been there as long as I can remember and hasn't changed much in all that time. It always reminded me of an old Rat Pack hangout even before I found it there's a lounge singer on the weekends. Maybe it's the wallpaper, or the wrought iron railings, but I always think of New Orleans when I walk in the door. It's dimly lit, has comfortable seating, a great jukebox, and lots of character. They staff is always friendly and happy to mix up a cocktail, pour beer, or serve a glass of wine. I'm not sure if they've always served food, but there are some hearty breakfast and lunch options on the menu. I can't say I've tried the food, but it sure looks good. Weather you stop in for a drink, or for a meal, you'll like the Back Door Lounge, cause it's the real deal!

You think of Old Sacramento as more a tourist area, but there are a lot of bars that cater mostly to locals. I visited "Back Door Lounge" for some day drinking after watching games at another place nearby. It was slow; but the bartender was hospitable and a good conversationalist. Drink prices were reasonable. The place is too neat to be a true dive bar; but it's got a little grit, just because the building is old.

Some of the best service love the new owners, love Hiers can't wait to go back, defined check them out in the alley of old sac!!

Fun place, great drinks enjoy the jukebox too. Nice casual atmosphere. Hopefully it's still open as we in from out of town and it was closed on a Thursday night.

This would be my second time eating here. For breakfast we got the back door breakfast with bacon. We also got the chicken fried steak with eggs. I've got to say that the chicken fried steak is incredible. So good. The potatoes had a good taste and the bacon was nice and crispy. All around a very good breakfast. I'm surprised more people don't come here for the food. It's a dive bar. Not huge inside but has lot's of tables and places to sit. It's in a alley near firehouse restaurant. The bartender was nice and the cook has skill. Whenever I go back to old sac this is the place I'm eating at or even to just get a drink. I hope more people give this place a try.

An oldie, but goody! Have been coming to this old-style, dark, and great vibe bar for many years, and it's still one of my favorite spots to take family and friends, and/or catch up with my best friend while enjoying whatever we feel like that day. Sometimes it's whiskey, sometimes a dirty martini, either way, we leave this place happy. Next time we're coming back to try their brunch! Their menu looked so yummy.
