Recently I was in Sacramento on a business trip. And like any other business trip I always try to make time to check out the local eats and see what it is that makes that town or city stand out from the rest. That night I was looking for a place to shoot some pool with a fellow worker. I Unilocaled cool dive bars and one stood out. It’s was called R Spot. When entering R Spot the first thing I noticed were the peanut shells on the floor. I saw this once before at a bar in Seattle and thought how cool, you can eat free peanuts and not have to worry about where to dispose of it. Easily amused right?. There are so many positive things I can say about R Spot. Things like how the bartender Natalie, a white girl made the best pico de gallo. It’s a place where everyone is comfortable in their own skin and allows you to be in yours. Give it a shot, what do you have to lose.

Just moved to the area. Found this bar and it’s pretty awesome. Great drink specials, especially on football Sunday! Definitely a pro Raider atmosphere which I love, but if you wanna watch your team they are happy to oblige. Totally recommended if you like the little dive bar feel.

Friend of mine went in there to get me to try one more time swearing it’s a good place to go. He goes in the restroom almost got into a fight this guy offers him meth and checks him out while he is peeing. Then someone smells like they took a big shit in there pants at the bar. Time to go disgusting place never go back they rip you off. It smells and there is nothing but trash and gangsters. Hope it closes soon. GO to Louis there nice friendly people and the drinks are cheap and it’s clean there.

Hmmm… there’s a few one star reviews here, and I really can’t say this place deserves that. I’m *not* a regular, and I’m *not* some sort of god that everyone is going to flock to the minute I walk in… but I was politely welcomed, and had no problem striking up conversations with others. It’s not a huge place, and yeah… I’ve seen it busy enough that seating becomes an issue, but I’ll take that over a place with 50 empty bar stools where all you hear is crickets any day. It’s a dive bar, folks… and a good one at that.

Just a shit hole place all together. If you have a credit card that is not yours it’s a great place to go! They don’t check the Ids to compare names and ifs it’s not your credit card they will let you use it anyway. Glad they will be out the money my bank will be refunding me!

Well — I can say that I was looking for a nice hole in the wall to hide out at every once in awhile, one that was off my regular beaten path. I had spied«R Spot» and thought I would check it out. Bellied up to the bar, got a fat drink for a great price. liked the décor… dug into my Sacramento Bee, and was joined at the bar by two nice young ladies, early 20’s.good so far. then local hood rat sleezed in and made his way to the bar. hey live and let live. I continued to read the funnies and listened to the offer made to the two ladies to go to his car and try his shit. they agreed and off they went, returning 20 min or so later reeking of weed and giggling like two year olds.hey.found it interesting that hood rat did not return with them, nor did he buy a drink for himself or the girls when he came in. make your own assumptions. the activity does not keep me away as it is a place on one thinks to look for me. I just won’t bring my lady here. keep in mind that this visit was sometime ago.

If you appreciate GREAT drinks LOW prices and a fun Cheers style atmosphere you will LOVE this bar! Rspot was the first bar I ever went to when I turned 21 I have been to plenty more over the past few years, but there still isnt one to beat R Spot… There are two pool tables games are cheap only a buck a piece and there are free pool nights!!! great music and an environment for everyone if you dont have a problem stepping out of your shell a bit this is the place for you… I can say the people there become like family everytime you go everyone knows your name its a great fun loving place… The only thing missing is our great friend and owner of the bar who just recently passed RIP Todd we love you and we love the awesome bar you brought to rancho =)

My grandparents met in this bar the year it first opened, not as R Spot of course, in 1964…40 years later I was lucky enough to come in when Todd, who is an awesome friend and great man(by the way to all of the previous reviews who tried to bash the owner/bartender), had taken over nd turned it in R Spot. I was reconnected with old friends, made tons of new friends nd got to be a part of some amazing times. I’m no longer a regular, but some of my friends still are nd my life wouldn’t be the same had I never met Todd. This is a great place to hang out or hold a celebration, they have great drinks for great prices nd the staff, although can be «harsh» at times, are great people! Four thumbs up!

Hi, Jonathan here, I am a true R Spot local, I started going there the first day it opened as the R-Spot. It is within walking distance from my house. The bar shares the same building as the Rancho Cordova Police and Community Services offices so the fact that people are saying that drug dealing and usage is going on in the bar is NOT true, I know its not true. Its a dive bar in the middle of Rancho Cordova not a club in Roseville. The drinks are the cheapest in the area by far! The beer is always ice cold, there is a good selection of micro beer on tap as well as bottled. Sad news though, on August 6, the owner Todd J. Stahl passed away in a motorcycle accident. He was a great friend and person he will be missed by everyone. The bar is still open and will continue to be ran by the bar tenders and Todd’s family. Some things will change and some will stay the same. Come by and see for yourself ITIS a great little bar, and if you see me mention this review and your drinks on me!

You know what, this is a cool neighborhood bar. Thursday night and it was packed(mostly with neighborhood folks, I’m guessing.) There was a good variety of Rancho Cordova folks in there, but at no point did I feel like anything shady was going on. Place was clean, including the restrooms, for a bar. Bartender and owner Todd obviously cares about his place and works hard to make new faces feel welcome. I paid just over ten bucks for 4 large Shock Top beers off the tap. You can’t beat that with a stick! I would echo some of the other sentiments here, don’t go here if you’re a stuck up prude, but if you’re a regular bar-hopper there’s nothing to fear here.

I love this bar!!! It’s a dive bar right smack in the middle of Rancho. If you want some nice salty nuts to snack on(who doesn’t), a stiff drink to wet your whistle(I like to taste my alcohol), good music on the juke box(you know you chose a good one when the big man behind the bar turns it up) then this is the bar for you! The last guy who wrote a review needs to loosen his tie a little and leave his loafers at home(with his girlfriend). The owner/bartender, Todd, is the best. He is a loud mouth and that’s one of the many reasons why I love him. As far as «dirty» ummm, he’s mistaken. He must have been focused on the peanut shells that decorate the bar floor, because Todd keeps his bar, tables and bathrooms clean. One thing I love love love is how clean the bathroom ALWAYS is. As far as the jack ass saying there’s no entertainment except a juke box… now he’s just pulling shit out of his ass. Aside from the jukebox, there’s tv’s with games on(but who goes into a dive to watch a game), and pool tables. If you are being«stalked» like Mr. Rogers claimed in his review and can’t handle it on your own… tell Todd he’ll make sure nothing happens and his patrons are safe inside, out front and out back. I’ve seen a lot go down in his bar from him kicking people out and calling the cops on them, to birthday celebrations. I’m throwing a bachelorette party for my best friend and that’s where we want to start the night, so that has to tell you something good right!

This place sucks rotten eggs compared to other neighborhood bars I have been too. The owner is a rude loud mouth jerk, most of the patrons are either thugs, druggies, or just look like losers, its always too loud, its dirty, and their seems to be a lot of suspicious activity going on(drug dealing). It’s small so there is limited seating, no entertainment except for a jukebox, and the crowd just isnt attractive. My girlfriend and her pals got stalked by a patron that followed them to my house. She was wierd, as if she escaped from some mental hospital and so, if that is the crowd that they attract, I do not ever want to go back. Plus the couple of times I have hung out there(only a couple), I did notice how loud and obnoxious the regulars behave. Not cool or inviting. I dont like going to places where a few people dominate the atmosphere. I wouldn’t waste my time or my money here, there are better places in the area to hang out.
