Our Favorite Places in Sacramento
Midtown Farmers Market
The best place to visit on a Saturday morning when visiting the Farm-to-Fork Capitol! In addition to fresh produce from local farms, enjoy live music, local artisans, and food trucks. Grab breakfast and coffee here or at a nearby midtown restaurant!
SacYard Community Tap House
A great neighborhood meeting spot for beer and wine on a nice day. They have rotating draft beers from several craft breweries. They often have food trucks as well!
Urban Roots Brewery & Smokehouse
This is one of Spencer's favorite restaurants and breweries! They have delicious barbecue and great beer!
Kupros Craft House
Where we had our first date and and many more after (including a surprise engagement party!). They have a great upstairs patio for warm summer nights and serve the best chicken strips in town.
Bawk! by Urban Roots
This sister restaurant of Urban Roots has some of the best chicken in town! There is a speakeasy inside the restaurant-- ask how to get into The Roost!
Federalist PIZZA
Don't be fooled by the fact this place is in an alley-- this small restaurant built out of shipping containers makes some of our favorite pizza and sangria. They also have a bocce ball court!
Gunther's
An iconic Sacramento ice cream spot. You can't go wrong with a scoop of ice cream or trying Alyssa and Spencer's favorite-- an orange freeze!
Scorpio Coffee
Spencer's favorite coffee shop in Midtown. Word on the street is that some of his favorite King's players are often spotted grabbing coffee here as well!
Crocker Art Museum
This is the first public art museum founded in the Western United States! The Crocker Art Museum is still one of the leading art museums in California today and one of Spencer and Alyssa's favorite museums.
California State Capitol
The capitol park is a great place to walk around and see the sites-- including all of the native trees planted in the park. The capitol museum offers tours of the historic State Capitol building, which gives visitors a glimpse into California's history!
McKinley Park Rose Garden
McKinley Park is a beautiful city park that offers a serene place to relax. It features a rose garden with over 1,200 roses of different varieties, a children's playground, a library, a swimming pool, and tennis courts. This is where Spencer popped the question!
The Green Room
One of our favorite spots close to home for cocktails and light bites!
Pizzasaurus Rex
We love grabbing slices from this Detroit-style pizza place! It is delicious and open late!
The Butterscotch Den
This restaurant and bar serves delicious cocktails and grill your own steaks! It is one of a kind.
Nitty's Cider
A great spot for our gluten-free friends and family! This cidery has delicious ciders and a nice space to enjoy the nice weather.
Drake's: The Barn
This is a great brewery to sit outside on a nice day! They also have great pizza!
Old Sacramento
This is National Historic Landmark District and State Historic Park that lives in homage to California's beginning with the Gold Rush of 1849. Located along the Sacramento River, you will find historical attractions and museums set within the time of the California Gold Rush and the Transcontinental Railroad. Grab a cocktail on the Delta King on the water or walk around on the wooden sidewalks for a glimpse into 19h-century life. Don't miss a visit to Howard at the Sacramento History Museum, who became famous on Tiktok for his printing press demonstrations!
