Cedar Room

Great little hole-in-the-wall.  No pool tables, but a great place to get drinks and chill.  Mixed crowd, cool bartenders and security.  Close to American River College and I think Thursday is college night.

It's dark and dank with plenty of locals. There's the drunk guy with the NASCAR get-up. The old man in the crumply shirt who tells unsolicited obscene jokes to the ladies. Lots of characters in the bar. A good selection of beer to go along with the free stale popcorn. It's the ultimate Carmichael Dive Bar. Wood paneling aplenty.

Terrible location for cops to spot your car, right off Madison Avenue and just scary area to begin with.  Stopped here to meet a friend on our way to dinner and we will not be going back anytime soon.  This place is obviously a regulars place and they didn't seem to take to kindly to fact we were new and had all our teeth.  JUnkies, oldies, and creepies are what fill this place in the evening.  Got offered a couple of drinks by a man that looked like he was in his 80's and when we politely declined because we were heading out, he mumbled some rude comment about us probably being lesbians.  I would gladly consider lesbianism before even contemplating giving him a sliver of a chance.  GROSS!!!

The place was dark and left me feeling uneasy.  If it wasn't for my friends suggestion of meeting there, I would not have ventured in and next time I will be choosing the place we meet for pre dinner cocktails.  Trust me, it won't be the Cedar room.
