Sacramento Halal Travel Guide

Sacramento is the oldest incorporated city in California, settled between the confluences of the Sacramento and American rivers. It was established in 1849, and there are many reminders of the history of the city including Sutter's Fort, Old Sacramento, and remnants of the original ground level of Sacramento. It experienced explosive growth when Gold was discovered in 1848 in nearby Coloma (California)|Coloma, and the Gold rush that followed was one of the largest human migrations in history. It has a population of 500,000 in the city and over 2.1 million in the metropolitan area (2022).

The pace of life is somewhat slower than in other large Californian cities, and the people are generally warm and friendly. According to Time magazine, Sacramento is the most diverse city in the USA. The city used to be an affordable place, but it suffered from the San Francisco Bay Area's dot com rise and fall, and real estate went from undervalued to overvalued. The market is correcting itself, so property values in most neighborhoods have leveled off while others are dropping to more reasonable valuations.

Sacramento is known among local residents as the "City of Trees", and it has a higher density of shade trees than any other major city of the US, so that walking the city streets sometimes feels like walking through a park.

Nightlife in Sacramento is vibrant if you know where to look. Stay in Downtown or Midtown. This is where most Muslims are anyway. The upscale clubs and lounges tend to be on or near J Street. Directly across from the Capitol grounds is the Park which is the premiere Sacramento nightclub. The dress code and cover charges tend to be stiff.

Just around the junction is the Capitol Garage which typically has guest DJ's on Saturday and a $5 cover in a laid back atmosphere. On K Street, you'll find Marilyn's, a really cool underground bar in the heart of downtown which showcases local live music talent.

Nearby is the Crest Theater, an independent historic movie theater that boasts art deco design. In the summer you can catch the French Film Festival here as well as the Trash Film Orgy, an all-night spectacle of old B movie flicks where local residents gather in their cheesiest costumes.

On most days of the year, however and the Crest is the place to catch foreign and independent films as well as traveling stand-up comedy and music acts. On 16th and R Street. you'll find the popular bar R15. This is a trendy bar/restaurant (Cafe Bernardo is attached) that has an urban industrial feel. Despite being trendy the prices are very affordable with $2 Pabst on tap and $1 swimmingpool tables. They also boast couches and big screens where you can play Xbox for free with a couple of friends.

R Street corridor offers Shady Lady Saloon, R15 Bar, and restaurants.

Another popular club is Mix Downtown with stiff cover charges and dress code as well, but Mix attracts an older crowd than District 30 and less pretentious crowd than the Park. On 10th and South Street, you'll find the popular indie-rock venue Old Ironsides. Local and traveling indie-rock talent showcase their music here. Every Tuesday you can catch Lipstick, a popular indie-rock dance party where you'll find mostly hip Midtown local residents. Every first Saturday of the month you can catch After Dark which is like Lipstick only on a Saturday so it attracts a more varied metropolitan crowd.

The Press Club on 21st and P Street is popular with the college crowd with its $5 cover charges and affordable $3 24oz. of Pabst. It's known for playing 80s dance music and the best nights to go are Wednesdays or Thursdays as it is a small club and, on weekends, gets unbearably overcrowded.

  • The Depot - corner of K and 20th downtown. -friendly video bar, two coin-op swimmingpool tables, covered smoking area.
  • Faces | Corner of K and 20th - Faces is a popular friendly club. Pricey cover, but the good strong drinks can quickly make up the difference. Faces has now doubled in size with an upstairs and a swimming swimmingpool in the back. Plays R&B on video floor and House on other dance floor.
  • The Merc | 20th & L Street - This is a friendly bar to go to get your night started—cheap, big, strong drinks!
  • Club 21 | On 21st, between K and L streets A friendly establishment. It is 18+ Wednesday nights, which happens to be the only male night. Same owner as Faces, however generally plays upbeat, dance tunes. Other nights are predominantly woke nights.
  • Sac Badlands - corner of K and 20th downtown. - This a friendly club and is an offshoot of Badlands in San Francisco. It has three stories and an outdoor patio.
  • Benny's - Q Street Bar | 21st and Q across from the Sacramento Bee. - Casual and often-crowded dive not far from midtown. Large back area provides extra room. On busy nights, a bartender will operate in back as well. Great Muslim Friendly place for drinks, and the Mexican food next door is a popular after-the-bar stopoff.
  • Streets of London | 18th and J - Trendy "upscale dive" right in the heart of Sac's midtown nightlife. Not really big enough to compensate for its popularity anymore. Drinks are average range. Quieter with a more laid-back vibe on weeknights. Worth a stop, but not exactly an institution.
  • Pine Cove | 29th and E - Classic dive, possibly the best in Sacramento. Has gotten massively popular on weekends, but manages not to become unpleasant or lose its "divey" feel. Decently priced. Darts and pitchers make for a laid-back time. Avoid the popcorn machine; rumors abound about its level of sanitation. Karaoke two nights a week draws quite a crowd.
  • Blue Cue | 27th and J - Terrific bar with an upscale sports-bar feel mismatched with its unbeatable prices on food and fruit drinks; nightly specials keep savvy local residents coming back. Billiard tables rented hourly. Most major sporting events will be played (or and the staff is laid-back enough that they will change the channel upon request). The food, made in the kitchen of the delicious downstairs restaurant, is leagues away from typical "bar food". Drink prices are average, but the specials can and will yield incredible deals.

Stay Safe

Downtown has a lot of one-way streets which can be confusing and are not always well marked so look at the direction in which cars are parked.

Sacramento is generally a safe place to visit. As with any other urban area, no matter where you are, stay safe. Be aware of your surroundings, lock your vehicle doors, don't carry a large amount of cash, and don't wear flashy clothing or jewelry.

As with other large metropolitan areas and there are neighborhoods that deserve more caution than others at night. Be cautious while in the following areas:

Central District—especially at night. Most of the businesses close up early, though the late night restaurants there can draw crowds and those looking for trouble especially after too much to drink.

South Sacramento Area—especially at night. It has been cleaned up but there are still rough patches especially around Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard, Fruitridge Road, Franklin Boulevard, Mack Road, and Meadowview Road.

North Highlands—at night, prostitutes are usually strolling Watt Avenue between Roseville Road and I-80. The motels at Longview Drive and I-80 are some of the worst in the north Sacramento area. Avoid them if at all feasible.

Del Paso Heights used to be of the worst crime infested areas in the Sacramento Region, but has attracted numerous galleries, boutiques and restaurants. Stay safe, but there's no reason to avoid it.
