Round Corner



Ok so this bar might take some getting used to if you haven't been there before. Oh and if you're taking a girl out for a drink it might not be the best option. But the round corner has a few things going for it. First the drink prices are always low, and even lower during happy hour (5-7pm) when everything is $1 off. A premium beer normally runs around $3 so that means a Guinness runs a mere $2 during happy hour. And their mixed drinks are just as cheap. Secondly it's the only stand alone unionized bar in Sacramento. (a few of the hotel bars are unionized but as far as a straight up bar goes.. this is the only union one)
The crowd is made up of mostly blue collar types representing every age race and creed... definitely not he pretty people crowd but these people are real.
Also, if you're into playing pool and don't want to go to the Blue Cue or some other crap hole douchie hang out then this is your place. But watch out for sharks.. there are a couple old timers there that'll take your money fast as you can put it down.

The Good: Cheap drinks during a happy hour that runs 7 days a week. Plus two pool tables.

The Bad: You probably wont meet prince charming here.. or a lady with all of her teeth.

The Ugly: Don't go into the bathroom. No seriously..do not go in to the bathroom!!
