Firefly Lounge — Restaurant in Sacramento

My friends and I always have the best time at this small party spot. The bartenders, security, and DJ are welcoming and friendly. The music video screens, black lights, twinkle lights, and patio swing make it festive and fun for such a small place. I've never had food here, but the drinks are good. 🍸The only downside is when it's crowded, there is only one toilet each for M & W. My kidneys go into overdrive trying to rid my body of alcohol, so I had to make the potty dance look like I was enjoying the music 🎶, waiting for whoever was taking their sweet time in the women's toilet to vacate. Eventually, I had to decide to either embrace my masculine side and dash into the men's toilet or wet myself. Urinary incontinence, age, and alcohol don't play well together. Maybe make the toilets 🚽 unisex because the men's didn't have a urinal, and both M/W are large enough to be remodeled with 2 toilet stalls, for a total of 4 toilets vs. just 2. If more people go party🎉 and dance💃 here, they might have a bigger budget...

I was there on a Thursday night recently, and it was karaoke night, and the two bartenders weren't even wearing masks or had any around their necks or in pockets. There were only a few people wearing mask like maybe 5 out of 30 people. The KJ plays favorites with the regulars for rotation of singing and is terrible at running the show!! When I was in my car leaving a group of 4 was walking in with 2 not wearing or carrying mask and the other two were putting on mask. Beware of catching Covid-19 in this place, I don't think it's safe even if your vaccinated. No one was 6 feet away from one another and lots of people hugging others that they're not with and don't know and dancing too close to one another. No sanitizing of the micro phone after each use from someone singing nothing. It was a terrible experience and I was in great fear of catching Covid-19. This Bar should be turned in to CDC or authorities and have this place...

They don’t allow hats. Well. They allow hats. But only some hats. And not every night. Actually, you can wear a hat every night of the week there - just not all hats on all nights. You can wear porkpies, trilbies, and stovepipes MWF, berets TThS, Toboggans before Labor Day, fedoras before the 7pm dinner rush, Panamas in autumn, derbies every night even if it has a pin but the pin can’t be political - they can’t risk someone getting the vapors, and tinfoil actually has its own night. But no baseball hats. Not ever. But mostly on Fridays. Quit jacking yourselves off with your inane moratorium on baseball hats. Here’s an idea: if you think somebody is a gang member there to cause a problem, refuse service. My hat didn’t do NUFFIN’! All hats matter.

That being said, it’s an alright spot. Friendly enough people, patrons and staff. Check it out while you do a load of laundry next door....
