What People Are Saying About Limelight Bar & Cafe Card Room
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – Locals enjoy kicking back in the rear cardroom and latticed-in patio on weekends and lunch hours. A few suits may be scattered in the crowd, but this is definitely a casual bar. The Limelight keeps the mood social with two pool tables, pinball and a golf video game. – – The Crowd – People playing in the cardroom. Law students and nearby employees dropping in for big, inexpensive meals (sandwiches earlier in the day, meatier entrees at dinner). – – Drinks – The drinks are basic. A few beers on tap. The standard run of mixed…

One of the worst bars in Sac!
by Rock916
The negative reviews are far from old or inaccurate. The only people that give this place a positive review are the ones that work there, friends of the employees or the click that hangs out in there. If this place were to rely on new customers or visiting patrons it would finally close down. If you do a little background check on the employee's, (yes even some of the current bouncers) and the practices of the staff you would not be comfortable or safe with your findings. In addition you have some of Sacramento County's Finest ( Sac PD) that hang out there on a regular basis.
Makes you wander.......why is it they never get in trouble for the actions that would get other establishments fined, closed or liquor licence revoked. Now they mix gambling into it even more.
Watch you back in this place,.....it's only a matter of time.
- Pros: One Bartender
- Cons: Everything and Everyone else!
The return of the Slimelight!
by BenDover916
This Bar is rapidly returning to it's status of the 80's when it was affectionately known as known as the "slimelight". A fair portion of the staff is becoming known for unprofessional attitude, disrespectful comments towards women, ethnic slurs etc.... The management is aware of the actions of the staff and blatantly disregard it fallowed by a smirk. The surrounding business's and some of the employers have commented or made reference that the bar commonly has issues. It is also known that a fair number of law enforcement officers frequent the establishment when not on duty, yet the actions still persist! (WOW,...this makes anyone feel safe (right!!!) One patron even stated, "they think they are untouchable because they have cops come in here." So sure if you want to listen to crude and derogatory comments made to women, deal with confrontational bouncers & staff along with management ("Mr.H") that condones & ignores the unprofessional actions, by all means grab a drink there! After all they do make a good cheap drink and have a card room. Heaven forbid you ever expect professionals from this place!!!! The are too many decent places downtown to spend your money at, few of them just around the corner!
- Pros: Good cheap drinks
- Cons: The bouncers, Management and only two good bartenders
