Midtown Gastrobar - Sacramento, California

Gabriela Cadena

Food was ok. Service was above average. Atmosphere is 2 because there was a potential predator outside that started following my husband and I when we left at 4:30 pm. We think person 1 came in to buy a shot n case the joint to tell person 2. Please be aware of your surroundings, trust your gut and don't overdo it.. Will not return.

I have two reviews here. This first paragraph was from three years ago when I gave this place five stars.

Okay so let’s see here... Sick Rooftop? Check. Fires on rooftop? Check. City view? Check. On site brewery with fresh beer? Check. Top level burgers and fries? Check... I mean do I need to keep going? Or are you already putting these coordinates in your phone.

This is my review from a few weeks ago :

My buddy and I went in there for lunch expecting what I remembered over the years of coming here and got something completely different. I didn’t want a hamburger just a simple grilled cheese and tomato soup and my buddy got a turkey club and it took them almost an hour and a half to make our food despite us being one the only few people there. when I got my tomato soup, it was lukewarm and it also was basically ketchup with a bit of spice in it. I have a picture of ketchup and the soup side-by-side, and they literally tasted the same. Tomato soup is a fairly easy dish to make and I love a good tomato soup and this was ketchup.

Edit: I had to update my review because this last time I came in, the experience was completely different.

When I came in, none of the bartenders smiled, greeted me, or acknowledged me, even though they saw me walk in and sit at the bar. They weren't busy, just chatting with one another. After several minutes of sitting there, a woman, Laura, finally approached me. She didn't give any food or drink recommendations, or offer a menu, so I had to ask.

When I asked about the wifi, she gave me the wrong password the first time. Of course, I had to wait a couple of minutes to get her attention before asking again, and then she gave me the correct password.

From the cocktail menu, I ordered the Lemon Drop, but it had salt on the rim (which ruined it for me). Every place I've ordered a Lemon Drop, they first ask if I want salt on the rim. I wanted to order food, but I was ignored and walked by several times. She had no problem giving other customers attention and chatting with them.

Several minutes go by, and I finally get to order the BBQ Cheeseburger. I asked for no cheese and BBQ sauce, but when it arrived, Laura gave me BBQ sauce anyway. She didn't offer any condiments, so I had to wait a couple more minutes to get her attention just to ask for some ketchup and ranch.

Once I finished my meal, I had to sit there for a whole 10 minutes before she noticed I was done. I was friendly the whole time, but I definitely lost my patience once I was done eating and waiting forever for the check.

A lot of time wasted with poor service. The drink was good, minus the salt. The burger was decent. The fries, while good, didn't have seasoning on it like the last time I visited. The pricing was reasonable, though.

Good food. Good beer. Fun and friendly workers. I really liked the place!
*The picture with the burger and fries with ketchup, and the picture with the beer and water are from my first visit*

Was unfortunate that the hours for the brewery were incorrect and it wasn't open when we showed up in the AM. The burger place was open so we went to the roof and enjoyed a couple of beers while we waited though. Great rooftop atmosphere. Downstairs was chilly but understandable since the brewery tanks are down there too. Probably feels really good on a hot day. The beers are tasty and easy to drink. We didn't eat but everything coming out of the restaurant looked phenomenal. Love the games in the brewery and the magnet wall. Private tables upstairs with family-style downstairs.

We stopped on on Saturday afternoon before the place got busy. Roof top was closed, but they let me up for pictures. Enjoyed a few beers and back to the car before the meter ran out. Overall good choice 👌

Live music was a dj with way too loud of music and bass. It hurt my ears. The outdoor seating was uncovered from the weather so it was wet. 2 different servers asked if I had been helped before my food was ready.

If you like FRESH brewed beer, this place is awesome. Their Tap Menu they have posted online does not match what's actually on tap. I love Vienna Lagers and saw that they had a Vienna Munchner (IPA) posted on their online tap list.... unfortunately it was not available. But don't worry, they had plenty of varieties to choose from! I had the "Strawberry Mango Stein Dry Fruited Blonde" and the "Set Phatos to Stun IPA"...loved them both! I think my bartender was excited about the beer as I was, which I enjoy. I travel a lot and sharing a beer with someone who is as excited to serve it as I am to drink it is always a joy.
