The same guys that brought us Midtown’s most popular beer hall, LowBrau, are finally opening their new joint, Block Butcher Bar, located directly next to LB in the MARRS Building. Block is set to open to the public on Monday, Feb. 24, 2014. According to an email from the owners,…

Most prominently featured around Mardi Gras, Jambalaya is a true representation of indulgence before fasting. Fat Tuesday celebrates the immoderation of rich foods and sinful activities before enduring the long season of Lent, so Jambalaya’s goodness was presented in excess to prepare those for the solemn six weeks ahead of…

Device Brewing Company’s Ken Anthony Shows Passion in Every Pint When I meet up with Device Brewing Company owner Ken Anthony, he’s visibly exhausted and endearingly blunt. “I can’t really keep up with much but my beer. I don’t really care about press and that sort of stuff. I just…

Sampino’s Comida del Pueblo 1605 F Street • Sacramento It has been said that some of the best food can be found in “hole-in-the-wall” spots that offer little more than, well, the food itself. These low-key dining establishments typically boast bare-bones interiors and a penchant for serving up dishes that…

The Art of Beer Invitational isn’t your average beer tasting event. On Jan. 24, 2014, 33 breweries will come together at the Aerospace Museum of California to support Ales for Autism and Stanford’s Youth Solutions’ Art Therapy Program. A $50 ticket (link for purchase and more information available at ArtOfBeerInvitational.com)…

I’ve always thought that The Blue Lamp is slightly underrated in the local music community. Sure, it’s dark inside, a little grimy (we’ve heard rumors it used to be a strip club back in the day) and it’s sort of on the fringe of Midtown (located at 1400 Alhambra, Sacramento),…
