Sunday Funday
Great Sunday hangout. Can't beat prices and decent pours. Retro vids mixed in with some current stuff.
just ok
Visited on a Wednesday night during happy hour. In my opinion was a decent mid of men and women and bartender seemed more interested and willing to serve those she knew at the bar while I waited about 15 minutes.
My #1 hometown spot.
If I have the night off at home, this is where you'll find me. Yes, I hit all the other clubs in the area, but I almost always end up back here by last call.
+ Anyone is welcome and everyone is friendly. I meet the nicest gay & lez folks, straight couples, groups of straight girls, and even a couple of other T-girls now and then.
+ Most nights the music is great, up-to-date high-energy (a few weeknights some guest DJs play some odd stuff, but never on important nights).
+ No cover Sun-Thurs and usually only $6 or $7 on Friday and Saturday.
+ Bartenders know how to mix a drink and the bar is set up to allow them to work efficiently and offer bars pace to hang out.
+ COAT CHECK (downstairs). Seriously, in the winter, this is awesome.
All Flavors
Sang some karaoke, danced in the back, bought several drinks. Lesbian at door was cool, and CLEARLY in-charge. Mixed company, met an awesome local str8 couple out to have a good night. Lots of room. Not pretentious. Pretty good party - even for a Thursday.
good dance spot
Nicely decorated, packed dance floor, good bar, good music. Loved the straight muscle guy simultaneously getting off on the gay attention, while clinging to his girlfriend for dear life. Gogo boys were not bad (could actually move) and are easy access on dancefloor. Surprising (and annoying) number of people just standing on the dancefloor in spite of the good music selection.
Lost a good man Pops
Badlands just recently lost security gaurd"pops" is what all called him. He made a difference and will always be in our hearts. Badland is a great place....meet people and just have fun
Favorite club to visit
Everytime we visit Sacramento we dance until closing at Badlands. The club is spread out over three floors. It has four bars, a patio area and a balcony that overlooks the dance floor and the outside street. The crowd was diverse and friendly. The music and videos were good. Beautiful club that makes the ones in SF look worn and dumpy.
