The Mercantile Saloon - Gay bar in Sacramento - 1928 L St, USA

Super fun and super busy on a Friday night. The crowd was a great mix of people. With the packed house though expect drink service delays, even though the tender staff was super fast and support efficient, so order appropriately.

The Mac and cheese was so good.. Good drinks and am awesome mix of people

Most condescending bartender I've come across. Made people feel like they were a waste of his time. I'll never go back. Been a long time Sacramentan, and this place should shut its doors or hire people who like to make money. Obviously, they don't need jobs at this place. Otherwise they'd treat people like humans. Don't waste your money here.

Bar tender Chris is the absolute best! Loved this place and the energy! Very friendly service and guests.

While enjoying a night out in Sacramento we found Mercantile Saloon in a quick search for gay bars. At first we weren't sure if we were in the right place with armed security at the door. After a quick pat down we entered the bar. It was a cash only bar. The drinks were decent but more expensive then I would have expected for any bar let alone a local bar like the Mercantile.

The place I used to be at, there where great bartender's now just waiting, but the one busman that was rude and condensing and why!?? Confused... Should not help the public is bothered, here's his pic... Think twice about coming to this place.t he one standing... Dude Why be RUDE,!!?????

Once upon a time this place was really fun! I will not be going back. The last few times I tried “again” to give it another chance, it was a bad experience. The bartender is so rude and catty. The patrons are rude and catty af! I enjoy a good hair flip and some sassy attitude ok BUT this is downright annoying, especially when I spend money freely to have a great time! My last experience? Some punks ripped off my phone right in front of me and denied it when I questioned them. I tried telling the bartender and all he said was “hold on to your stuff!” …and walked away. I understand that but c’mon. A person can’t set their phone down for a minute for a friendly game if pool? The sheriff payed them a visit the next morning and I got my phone back. Who steals iPhones? Ugh! So there it is. The only positive- strong drinks if you wanna pre-game but, I wouldn’t give my evening to that place ever again. There’s two great bars right across the way I’d rather go to. Sorry-not sorry at all.

Perfect place for cheap strong drinks and great conversation. Crowd is usually always great and jukebox plays in the background. It does get crowded and the patio can get pretty smokey which is great for the tobacco smokers but does have non smoking indoors and plenty fresh air for a non smoker to hang on the outdoor covered and heated patio!! Love this place
