The Grand Wine Bar

Walked into this place after reading the sign that it is Sacramento's smallest bar. It lives up to the sign, the bar probably fits about at most 20 people inside, but there's also an outside area too. There was one bartender, who was handling all the drink orders remarkably well. I can't recall her name, but her memory skills were on point! The mixed cocktails were delicious, definitely try the backyard sour. I'm coming back to this place next time I'm downtown.

Absolutely loved spending time at Sacramento smallest bar! I had always passed by this place not realizing it was a beautiful bar but finally got to try it. This is definitely a small bar! The inside has some high top and bar seating and most of the seating is outside. The bar is beautiful, it is intimate, romantic, and perfect for either date night, chill girls night, or a solo date. The manager was great, very friendly and welcoming. He balanced continuing conversation with us as newcomers to the bar and serving those already there. Their menu has a great selection of wines and spirits. I had a glass of the Trefethen and it was great! The wine was perfectly tart and fruity. I’ll definitely be back!

Ryan made us a delightful espresso martini and a what she’s having, the smallest most delicious bar ever! Thanks for the awesome cocktails and service

This place is teeny tiny but bursting with character. I swear the Grand has the most creative cocktail menu in town, and that's saying a LOT. There's always something completely new that I've never had before but fits my tastes perfectly. A friend who has completely opposite tastes feels the same way. It's a highly curated, extremely thoughtful, wholly original menu that changes seasonally. The bartenders are always interesting and full of stories. I don't usually enjoy sitting at the bar, but I ALWAYS try to sit at the bar here and it's always a good time. The only thing that's a bit sketch is to get to the bathroom you have to go up and into a parking garage. Worth it though. Some of my favorite nights on the town in Sacramento have included the Grand.

Small place but great atmosphere. Relaxed yet very nice cocktail bar. Our first time there and the bartender was really great in helping make a drink we'd like 👍

On a recent work trip, I stumbled upon the cutest, coziest, tiniest bar (around 20 seats?) I’ve ever been to, and I love it! For a moment there, I thought I might as well be in a tiny speakeasy bar in NYC! Perfect for a drink or two, after work, happy hour (M-F 5-7p), pre-dinner, & post dinner night cap! The bar program was creative and made me want to try every thing. Wish I had discovered this bar much earlier. Apparently they would change their menus every few months. I had the Jezebel’s Joint which was a mezcal drink. Very well-balanced & flavorful. I highly recommend this bar, if you ever wanted high quality crafty cocktails in Sacramento. The next night, I went back for a different cocktail, Parlay, a pineapple rum with coconut liquor & locally sourced blackberry tincture. So yummy, felt like I was beach side under a cabana ☺️Other than spirits, this bar got great selection of whiskies & interesting lesser-known wines too. Got a cutest patio in front. It's a casual cozy friendly neighborhood bar with quality drinks. Situated next to a big garage and there usually street parkings available. Walking distance from many hotels nearby.

Just because this is the smallest bar in California, doesn’t mean their knowledge is equivalent to their size. If anything, they know more than most bars out there. It’s a very personal one-on-one experience with a professional bartender. The second you walk in, the bartender is able to size you up and make a cocktail on target with your palette. I never have been dissatisfied by this place.

This place is pretty dope and the bartender Ryan is mad dope. Great cocktails but for something special, tell Ryan you were told to ask for something “Hella cute”. You won’t be disappointed. If you are, call him Steve😂

Good drinks in a small but inviting place. Staff makes finding bathroom easy but clunky key is no fun to carry. Will go back but after hours when easier to find a seat.

Great bartender, interesting drink menu! Tiny but fun space. Edit: Ryan made me a fantastic drink tonight

Cool place. Bar manager was very knowledgeable about booze! Very friendly. Definitely will return

Great vibes, music and cocktails!

It's a tiny bar. Like maybe they seat 20 people? But oh what a great place. If you want craft cocktails and a well curated spirit and wine list, come here. Make friends, get comfortable, have fun.

This place has superb interior design, as soon as you walk in from the lighting to the art work is simply amazing. Damion behind the bar is nothing but AMAZING, his drinks are absolutely the best hands down in town ! Thanks so much for making my guests and I feel like family!

My friends were having a birthday drink at the Grand. I joined them and to my surprise if was a small bar on the corner. The service was great and very helpful. I enjoyed the drink very much. When the sun went down the lights that came up were beautiful! Check it out!!

Cute smallest bar in Sacramento. Even cuter bartender who makes a mean Mezcal Negroni!

Ari was amazing! Excellent customer service and amazing conversation! As a female customer Ari made sure we were taken care of and comfortable. Drinks were delicious and the vibes were there! 10/10. Amanda & Cat loved Ari!

Excellent cocktails. Not the gimmicky style (which has its place). The drinks are just great mixology on display. Found this place on a week long work trip and have come 3 times this week so far. I'm digging the Seamus Levin - I would never have thought of scotch with mezcal!

If you like your cocktails served with a shot of pretension, this is the place for you. The drinks are quite good and taste fresh. The place is cute. It’s a good place to bring your drink snob friends, but if you are not one yourself prepare to be publicly shamed by the bartender as he looks down his nose at you. I feel like he was more focused on maintaining his superiority than helping me find a drink I’d like. On the plus side, he said he’d make me a different one if I didn’t like the one I chose. It’s a nice atmosphere for catching up with old friends, not too loud or crowded.

Ok selection of bubbles, wines spirits, and craft drinks. We ordered a bottle of champagne and he delivered it RAW. The bottle was sitting on the table without ice, literally raw. I asked to use restroom and I was coached on how to turn the key since it's finicky...no big deal thank you. What I didn't like was the threat after the "instructions" that if I numbered one outside the bathroom he'd hate to 86'd me. Lol. I'm being threatened now... when the WHITE couple didn't get that spiel. Meh.

After having an awesome dinner at Hyatt Regency, took a walk and went to this place and asked for a beer. The bartender who name is most likely Karen answered she has no beer. Only mix drink asked for a mix drink and said no. Asked for wine and she answered that she is not going to serve me and not going to tell me why. The customers were confused & one told her to serve me & her face became red & just started to shake her head as if she was having a seizure. Went to the bar across the street and was told that they seem to have an issue with men. How can this place still be in business, or has the law changed & now businesses can discriminate against you for your gender? Have attempted to call the owner but just goes to a full mail box. Pretty sure this place has lot of complaints w/the BBB, 🤣 Response to Owner which has phone issues. I was there on April 12, 2025 between 11:15 p.m. - 12:10 a.m., check ur video also the security guards across the street know about her not wanting to serve men & there other customers there that were upset. Your bar is really small. Better check your employee, guy!
