The Long Shot

Located on Arden & Eastern.
I know some regulars.
It's a small bar with a mixed crowd.. but I assume it's a mixed crowd of the locale, the young and older of Arden-Arcade. There's a familiarity amongst regulars like everyone knows Sir Richard in the tiger shirt that always sings Secret Agent Man on karaoke nights or Brian the guy that runs karaoke nights there..

It's just a regular bar. Not slummin' it or trying too hard.

I dig it!!  I love a good dive bar.  I only visit on Fridays or Saturdays because there is karaoke those nights with the best KJ in Sacramento and the crowd is pretty cool.  The crowd is very diverse in every aspect and is very chill.  The prices are just a couple quarters more then other dive bars I frequent, so you're not breaking your bank to go have a good time.  It's very clean, the bathroom is always stocked, and you don't feel like you're going to catch something by being in there.  The staff is pleasant and friendly.  A couple times I've been there it seemed like they should have had two people behind the bar instead of one because they were so busy.  However it's worth the little wait for the respect and attention you get.  The bartenders and owner are very personable and take care of their customers which in my book is a 10.  If you're a beer drinker (specifically draft beer) then this place my not work for you because they don't have a wide selection on tap.  Oh yes and come prepared with cash because they don't take cards.  The reason it got 4 stars from me is because 2 weeks in a row now they have ran out of Sierra Nevada which they have on tap and they don't carry it in the bottle.  So if you're a Pale Ale drinker be prepared.

Let's just call this place "Cheers, where everybody knows your name and their always glad you came." Great bar, great people, great drinks! Anyone and everyone would have a great time here!
