Old Ironsides, Sacramento

Kitsch to the max! This place is decorated like an old ship, high, beamed ceilings, dark wood paneling, port holes. It's a decent place to have a drink, which are moderately priced, and the bartender's aren't stingy with the alcohol. This is a dark, hole-in-the-wall style bar, and is not for those looking for the neon lights and mirrored counter tops. Tuesday nights they host a great club, Lipstick. The DJs throw down an assortment of tunes from brit-pop, indie rock and electro. 3$ cover saves you money for drinks later, and you'll rub elbows with the local midtown-hipster scene, with the dyed black hair, piecrcings, tatoos, high-fashion kids. It's central location makes it an easy walk /bike ride from anywhere in midtown/downtown.
