Cool little hidden speak easy type bar. Excellent craft cocktails and a phenomenal staff! Make a reservation for a smooth entry. Great adult date night vibe, no kids or crying babies! Drinks are spot on and the mixologists put on a great show behind the bar!

The Roost in Sacramento was absolutely worth the visit. Parking was definitely a challenge, but the moment we walked in, we knew it was worth the effort. As whiskey lovers, we were super impressed with their selection, and their Roost Old Fashioned was perfection—smooth, balanced, and crafted with intention. The food was surprisingly amazing too, way better than we expected from a whiskey-focused spot. Add in the great vibes and cozy atmosphere, and it made for a perfect night out. Totally worth the hunt for parking!

I don’t usually gatekeep… but I have a soft spot for speakeasies, and this one is worth sharing. Reservations are definitely recommended. It’s hidden behind Bawk restaurant, tucked between the kitchen, bathrooms, and a storage closet. To get in, squeeze the rooster’s mouth a few times and the storage shelf will swing open.
Inside, you’ll find craft cocktails galore, a tempting tapas menu, and bites like oysters, chicken wings, deviled eggs, fried catfish, and more. Sadly, the charbroiled oysters were out of all their toppings during our visit, but the raw oysters were fresh and sweet. The house Bawk Hot Sauce was a total game-changer—it elevated almost every dish we tried.
The catfish was cooked perfectly light, crispy, and flavorful (though I wouldn’t mind a touch more seasoning). With the hot sauce, it was spot on. My only wish? That they sold wine by the glass instead of only by the bottle.
Atmosphere-wise, it’s a fun yet elegant speakeasy with food that matches the vibe. My Porn Star Martini was perfect—not too sweet, incredibly smooth. While waiting for our reservation, we popped into The Snug across the street, which also had fantastic drinks.
Overall: a hidden gem worth the hunt.

Ooh, a Speakeasy with a secret knock- too fun!
Terrific vibe, attentive service & superb cocktails. Only issue for me was a Cosmo being served in a tall glass full of crushed ice- not for me. However the gimlet & old fashion were spot on (the prices reflect this). Chill music playing in the background. A great date night spot to enjoy a well crafted cocktail & appetizer.

First of all- our bartender Jenny was incredible! She is so talented at what she does! Our drinks were fabulous. We got a you’ll flip your eye out and WOW. The smoked trout dip and chips were also incredible. Loved every bit of it! Just a little loud

Reservation was at 5:30pm. It was awkward just standing there with a lot of people doing the same thing, waiting to get in the Speakeasy room. The drinks and the pair food were excellent , the only downside it gets loud (chicken coop) and at times is hard to have a conversation. It was good to be there and experienced it. But one time was okay with me.

Service was great. Make a reservation or expect to wait 1-2hrs
From refreshing, to spirit forward, to classics, all drinks lean too sweet – and this is after asking the servers and bartenders for less sweet recommendations. This is true for all 5 drinks we tried
The ambiance is nice, but the drink price does not seem to match the quality of the drinks.
The corner table near the bathroom is unfortunately placed, and isn’t a nice place to sit. Fortunately the server was able to move us to another table with better lighting and a nicer view.
I did not try the food.

Make sure you reserve ahead of time!
The drinks and cocktails are absolutely phenomenal, crafted with care and creativity.
It’s a small place, so the staff can be a bit pushy about ordering more drinks, which can be a little annoying, but it makes sense given they need to keep business moving.
Be prepared to pay more than usual, but it’s worth every penny for the quality and experience.
Conversation isn’t the easiest here because of the size and lively atmosphere.
Food options are limited.

This is my favorite speakeasy in Sacramento. Be sure to make a reservation before you go. The atmosphere is amazing. The only downside is the drinks and food may take awhile to get to your table. Other than that, The Roost is fabulous.

The real deal for speakeasy in Sac. They provide the whole experience, including a conspicuous spot, a really hidden entrance, and an amazing area nicely decorated. As for the entrance, go check out, finding how to get in as is part of the fun! The lighting and the decor create a great ambience where one feels is going back in time. The cocktails were delightful. Really well done. The menu has tons of options. I was impressed with the way they split the menu to highlight cocktails from different regions, time in history, and recommendations from the establishment. While they say they welcome walking, my recommendation is for people to make reservations in advance as I believe that will give the patron the opportunity to be there for at least 2 hours, which believe me, is not enough time. Overall, highly recommended. Will definitely be going back.
