In comparing to other options in Sac, Mix seqms to be an older more sophisticated crowd.... the only issue is the rediculous long lines outside when it isnt packed inside....
I have went to The Mix 3 times and every time had a great experience. First time went with my brother and two friends all were dressed well, second time with my fiancé and third as a group celebrating best friends engagement. Pricey spent about $900 on bottle service, overall crowd is okay we prefer strict dress code venues because the crowd is usually more comfortable to be around. I understand the bad reviews on dress code but this place is a private business and will let in the people that are good for business. Recommended
The vibe is upscale and you can tell it’s a boujee crowd but we always have a great time with my bf. The bartenders are always attentive and have great customer service.
Very clean, upbeat, fancy, nice generous customer service. Not a party person or drinker but this place def made me one :)) I had a blast drinking and dancing there.. only problem there was no appetizers or food when it opened at 9:50pm
We love sitting outside near the bar. At the early beginning of the party. When it is calm and quiet. They finally started to make Aperol Spritz
I’ll keep it simple... if you’re a guy and you’re not wearing a button up, jeans, and a pair of Clark’s they probably won’t let you in. To be honest my girl and I were wearing very clean subtle Nike sneakers and were denied access.... meanwhile I saw other groups walk on by with converse, vans, etc. Hard to believe the rejection is simply based off shoe code. If so, it’s stupid and needs to change. Suppression of expression is real.
As long as you go before about 7:00-8:00 there should not be any issues. After that they start enforcing the bogus dress code which as other reviewers mentioned, does not apply to everybody. But hey, at least they do not turn you away for tattoos like Dive Bar does! They have good drinks & food.
My husband and I met with a group of friends after work fir birthday celebrations. Loved the comfortable outdoor seating, nice variety of wines and well-drinks . Really loved the brandy chicken wings and shrimp rolls. Delicious food with wonderful friends made a great evening. Will definitely go there again. #MiX #buzzybooth
Who ever hires their bartender thank you for getting me removed from your club, much joy and happiness here but your tenders need to do 110% better on checking for bracelets for minors and not give my shots away to them to them to have me removed. Security manager Reese could do a better part on his part before accusing us offering drinks for minora..why offer them into bar when knowing you offer alchohol smh..
It wasnt bad, but not the greatest.PROS:Music was eclectic, truly a mix and it was fun.Ambiance was cool, the outdoor firepits and VIP sections looked great.We got in for free since the hotel gave us free entrance cards.Womens bathroom was clean and attended to by a nice lady. Slight Con: only 4 stalls.CONS:It was so packed, you could barely move. Honestly, didnt seem safe. A few bouncers were a little abrupt in telling us to move out of the way since we were blocking the walkway, but it felt like we just had to keep going and wedge ourselves somewhere.There was no AC where the most people were, which was the dance floor. If there was it was weak.Its on the second floor, up a lot of stairs, which I dont understand why clubs continue to do this to very drunk people, some of which are in heels. Obviously not something they can change or improve, but just be warned.Facts:Not sure if thus fluctuates, but VIP booths, we were told were $400. For a bottle of booze and the right to sit.
This place is becoming trash. There are a few people that have no class that work here that are at the door. Been coming here for years but recently got into it with some staff over an incident that was handled unprofessionally and the staff handled it very poorly. clean up your staff and take care of your regulars.
Good time with good people. Nice atmosphere with good drinks
Very nice place awesome music and professional staff
3 different dance floors when we went. Hip hop, Latin, and techno. Super fun for any gender and orientation.
The worst club in Sacramento. I do not recommend parties to go, especially for booths. I have gone multiple times showed up at 9:30-10 and the customer service is the worse from bottle service to the front door. The employees are very disrespectful to guest and to the ones who are paying for the booths. Waste of money if you are trying to have a good night. Also they referred me to a club down the street multiple times which was better than the few times I have attended this club.
Cool vibe great bartenders
It’s always a great time at Mix!
By far the best club to go to. Manager came over to thank us just before last call. The bartenders were entertaining and pleasant. My friends from Europe and I had an amazing spur of the moment night. If you are looking for a upscale great time without the rowdy atmosphere and super expensive LA price, then you should definitely come here.
I was following my friends that were females, the security thought I was a stranger following them and choked me out the club without a chance to explain myself.. I was then tossed out the mix and kicked out.
Music was kind of anticlimactic for dancing, maybe its not my style. There was a variety of people there, respectful in general. The ambience was very cool but I cant say anything about drinks. Its an ok place to dance if you like the style, and since youre not actually paying for it.
They asked us for a tip “A good tip” to get in because my friend had shoes they did not like”Only today they did not like them”. He wanted a $50 . Anyways, not a second went by, he let in people I would not let in my restaurant. Currupted business!!!
Always loved this place. Amazing food, take advantage of happy hour for and drinks. Good dance floor, great outdoor area for mingling, just overall great place to hang out. Cover charge a bit high otherwise would get 5 stars.
Great outside patio area. Im a state worker, and this is a good spot to unwind and have a happy hour cocktail. Bouncers are a bit toolish, but what lounge doesnt have that? As far as the racist comments, I am multi cultural and I have never experienced or seen anything of such nature. Its simple, follow the dress code and you will have no problems!
Adorable little lounge with a second story outdoor patio. LOVE taco tuesdays!!! Nice place to celebrate a birthday.
Every night is different. Wednesday nights are a little older crowd, surprisingly. Friday nights are hit or miss. There are people who frequent Mix a lot. So youll see familiar faces even when you take an extended break from Mix. I enjoy Mix because its the only dance club I still feel comfortable at in my 40s.
Mikey the bartender was very professional and personable. Out of town from Tahoe and he treated my brother and I with 5 star service. Being in the fine dining and bartending business for over 21 years this guy is what makes places special and worth returning. Definitely would recommend the happy hour and the atmosphere if your down down Sac. Great house beats too.
I thoroughly enjoy coming here to dance. Every time has been fun music to dance to with a good DJ who knows how to mix. The weekend starts on Thursday downtown so the clubs really start going Thursday through Saturday. Avoid Wednesday nights as that seems to be when all the douches come out to dance. Come early for happy hour and enjoy Taco Tuesdays or all night happy hour on Thursdays.
Very different feel and set up from other clubs I’ve visited in Sacramento. The mix was more open as far as space and still a diverse group of people. Just be prepared to pay more for your drinks.
Definitely one of the hotspots in Sacramento
Read several reviews posted about this place after attempting to go; saying its racist....Im half of an interracial cpl that tried going exactly at midnight on Thursday 03/21/19 the door man wouldnt let us in claiming they dont let anyone in after last call....last call? At midnight? WTH? We turned to walk away looked back as we were going into the pizza joint next door and door man let a white cpl enter??? Yeah Im thinking racist!
Great place to Hangout
Went on a Wednesday night with some girlfriends hoping to have some fun. The bartenders were pushy and intimidating. As a woman I want to feel comfortable to ask them specifically about any drinks and whats in them. I was told not to worry about that and just enjoy. Music was just ok but the overwhelming smell in the place was disgusting. Both inside and outside smelt like the bathrooms and old garbage. We paid for a booth to get our own space only to fine garbage and sticky residue all over the seats. It looked like the booth had never been cleaned. Needless to say the night was a total bust. I wont be going to the mix ever again, and to the women that do please be careful and always be safe.
I love a good outdoor spot for drinks with friends, and Mix with its second-story location and largely open-air rooftop space has outdoor spot for drinks nailed. Love the relaxed vibe and small plates during happy hour. Its a really mixed crowd during happy hour, too--Capitol staffers, downtown and midtown residents, the after-work crowd. One of my favorites downtown.
If this was the last place to club on earth i would not club. The music is censored for some reason. The bouncers are racist. Speaking good English puts them in their place. I never returned here after they showed their true color.
Have never been but Im blown away by the comments that have been posted on here. I really hope the management team looks at these because this is HORRIBLE for business. Its not going to be easy but they better turn this place around or you are going to go out of business. By the looks of theses posts it doesnt appear to be a concern. Good luck
Have been to the Mix many times. It is the best place to go in Sacramento. Recently went on a Thursday for Happy Hour. We had such a great time. Loved it so much we went back the next night for Happy Hearts Day. I always have fun when I go on Saturdays but hadnt been on a Friday. Had an amazing time! The service was excellent starting from the door guys to the bartenders all the way up to management. The food is delicious and menu offers healthy and light options. The music was perfect; good variety for a wide age range to enjoy. The decor is elegant but still cozy during HH and fun and exciting during club hours. I will def be returning to the Mix.
Pros: Great Ambiance, Great Service- servers remember your name, Great mix of ages, and types of people. A High class place. Food was great. Most people were nice and having fun.Cons: Lots of macho security men with little ear pieces walking around gave a bad vibe. Drinks are expensive and poured with little alcohol. A little attitude going around.
Change DJ please. Nice place, lot of good people. But nobody is dancing
This place use to be a very nice place to be, but Yes I have to agree with everyone who says this place is Racist. I cant say all the workers r but most of them are at the front door, and whom ever tells the DJ what to play.Example Front door: Told my friend he could not get in with his dress boots. Thankfully he lived on 15min away but I was left waiting for him inside the club while watching MANY Whites, and Asians walked around with Tennis Shoes, Chuck Taylors, and Boots which were not near as dressy.Example DJ: Will not play any Hip-Hop or R&B until the night is basically over. Mainly High Energy and Techno until after midnight. Ive asked on 3 different nights and have gotten the same answer every time. I will play hip-hop later....I gave it 2 Stars because again NOT everyone of them are racist. The ones who are not are VERY cool genuine people.
Was deliberately overcharged by bartender when ordering a single beer closed tab. She put other patrons drinks on my bill. Politely pointed out the mistake on the spot and was assured sorry, charge will be reversed on your CC statement in a day or two. That never happened. Had to take up issue with CC company. Take your hard-earned $ elsewhere.
Great looking spot to go out for the night and good drinks and service at the bar, but I don’t believe it’s right for security at the place to come up to my friend and I at the bar and say, “can I see your ID” to my guy friend and without even saying a reason why he needs it. Mind you my friend gives his ID to them and just minding his business calmly waiting talking to me, they instantly then push him to the ground after viewing his ID and three men get on top of him and wrestle him down, then I asked them what is the reason why they are doing this and they were ‘accusing him of touching a girls butt that work there’. They walked him out with his hands on his head and with there arms locked in his arms. Him and I both left the building and I just don’t believe it’s right how they approached him, they could have been like “hey the girl that works here said he touched her ass” and just tell us we need to leave and we would have left. I can tell by the way the Bouncer approached us that he was acting like a hotshot.Most bars and clubs I have been to, I witness security to just ask you to leave the first time and tell you why you need to without being that aggressive like these security did that night.My stand here is that the security could have approached it differently because it was unnecessary the way they approached it.
The bouncers who are absolute racist tools. Literally, by every sense of the word. Tools. The dress code only applies if you hit them on a good day. These are the guys you hope never become more than pathetic bouncers. If you show up with girls in tow, anything flies. Great for business? Sure. Unfortunate enough to arrive moments later than your entourage then prepare to walk away. Its one of those places thats easy to forget so when you get inside all those memories come back and you remember why you hated it in the first place.Seriously, the bouncers? Lol
First time to Mix Downtown last night. My buddies and I celebrated our birthdays with the full complete table service~
I got a table, paid $300 for a bottle of alcohol. I drank a sip and went dancing, came back but the bottle was empty. I asked the waitress why they dont watch the tables since i paid so much, she said that they dont watch tables. Not woth getting a table cuz its not being watched. I called the manager saturday, today is monday, no phone call from the manager. This club doesn’t care about their clients.
A great outdoor lounge with good service fun drinks and creative food
This is the place for the older crowd great music and great environment
Nice place. Good mix of people. Wish the door guys would apply dress codes to everyone not just certain people. Seems racist
MIX is a trendy ultra-lounge nightclub environment that offers booth and bottle service at night. A few days a week MIX offers happy hour.
Very disrespectful staff, waste of time to go here.
We were in line for two hours. The bouncers told us that they would let people in once people left (“one in one out”). They didn’t let people in from the waiting line, only from the “bottle service line”. Keep in mind there wasn’t a guest list. When a group of people would leave they would let groups of girls in or their personal friends. It was the biggest waste of time. They even tried to tell people to go to the park and gave out “free entry tickets”. Never going to this place again.
I came from Florida on vacation and this was the worst experience I have ever had in a night club. My Fiance reserved a booth for our group a whole week in advance and when we got there we ordered more bottles.Our total tab was over $1300.00 and the bottle waitress had the nerve to tell my fiance and his friends to tuck their chains inside their shirts. This was total discrimination because they were big black men that had nice jewelry. They also put Police officers to stand right next to our booth to watch us. My group was not loud or obnoxious everyone carried themselves with class but due to the color of our skin our money was not good there.I never knew nice chains were offensive or bothering anyone but I guess when you are BLACK at MIX it is. HORRIBLE experience never will go again.
This freaking place; where do I begin. Everyone and their mother raves about how this is the most happening spot in midtown but under the same breath complains about 1) the long lines 2) the tools/basics 3) the expensive cover. I personally am not fond of this place, but you have to try it once. Its like a right of passage here. If you want to skip cover charges, just have an early dinner and stay till the floor opens up. I do not recommend suggesting that to a date though, since youll look cheap. I also dont suggest bringing a date here, because theres a high risk of them leaving with someone else
Even at 9:45 pm last night, the dance floor wasnt really busy. Usually a pretty good place!
This is a not a night club use to be. I️ booked booth and work with Mason and Matt the manager and due to poor communicationThey giving us outside booth which is. Dry cold and embraces me in front my guest. I’m susscrsfull business owner that wants nothing for free and willing to pay. Just poor management team.
Do not go. The Mix is full of sleazy older people trying to relive the good life.Wait staff is unprofessional and the capricious nature of thier dress code and admittance policy are legendary.Attend if you want. Not going back.
If I could give zero stars I would! We went to the mix to celebrate my sisters 21st birthday. She got a booth and was already there by the time we arrived. The bouncers were giving me a hard time saying that my ID was fake and showing the other bouncers to try and get them to agree that it was fake it wasnt until they saw that my husband knew one of the workers that they finally let me in. MF as*holes. A couple of weeks later, I saw on fb that the same bouncers got in trouble for being racist. hmmm.... coincidence? think not. anyone I know that ask about a club to go to, I make sure I give them my personal experience. It wasnt even all that inside either. It came off as a wannabe vegas vibe without the class.
Great harpy hour, although the waitress messed up our check. Love the outdoor patio, and the food was good. The dragonberry mojito is so refreshing
The BIGGEST Racist club you will ever go to ..... They will find every fault not to let you in because your black !!!! ... They turning back blacks for the least even sneakers while white people up in the club in shorts and trainers lol .... that is just one of the excuses for not letting black people in the club. I dressed up even in a suit and they wouldnt let me in. 4/13/2016.
Trying to ask questions, went through all the contacts they listed! No replies smh
This used to be the go to club in Sacramento, however the bouncers at the front door lack professionalism and are often rude. We booked a booth for Saturday night. When we went to the entrance of the club, the Doorman ignored us for several minutes before asking us what we wanted. Once we informed him that we had booked a both his tone changed but the damage was already done. The management there should be changed. They dont have a clue on how to treat patrons.
Service was the best. Love the patio. Ill be back for sure.
One of my personal favorite clubs for downtown Sac. You cant beat it.
My husband and I are both professionals in our 40s and were also an interracial couple. We were invited to the mix for a big birthday party Saturday night with about 8 other couples. I can without a doubt tell you old fashioned racial profiling is alive and well at the mix. Our large party starts being let in at 9:30pm although our reservation was for 8pm, but that’s another story. So were all filing in and my husband is stopped in his tracks and told his camel colored suede boots are not “dress code” and that he cannot come in, I of course asked what there dress code was and they say “business casual”. My husband actually left to drive home and change shoes, while this was all happening the hostess was speaking with the manager about making an exception which he finally agreed to do. However, while I waited for my husband’s return I began to notice how other guests were dressed. First I noticed a sloppily dressed white gentleman in faded jeans, faded T-shirt wearing tan loafers? I then noticed a very cute young blonde dressed in basically a men’s wife beater, faded jeans and white converses? I asked her how she got in and with a big wink told me it’s all about who you know. There are so many places to pick from when you go out and want to have a good time and spend some money and unfortunately the mix is NOT one of them.
This place has a nice decor and decent food.Tip: Dont come here without your beer googles.
Jullian is the best..! She gives amazing service and is just a nice person She is the reason I gave this place another chance after a bad experience and glad I did.
Place is garbage like everyone else has stated. If you are reading this prior to going there are many other clubs downtown. Go to any other of them. The door tools with pick and choose who can and who can not come in as has been stated by other reviewers. Crowd is sub-par at best. Music is okay. The VIP tables are just set in between everything or off in the corners. Waste of time and money. Go Somewhere else.!!!
Please read and respond to join class action law suits against MIX for RIPPING people off I have 4 people so far!!!! PM me if you are victim of this MIX scam !!Wish I can give 0 star because thats what this place deserves. I was there few months back with friend and having few drinks on Sunday every thing is fine. I ran in to friend of mine from work who had table service for him and his friends so as a co worker and a good friend I got them a bottle of Hennessey and gave my card to waiter with specific instruction one bottle and it was $ 300.00 that was quoted by waiter including everything. 45 minutes pass and I am like may I please have my card back because we were leaving and answer was sure waited anther 30 minutes and girl brings check and card back to find that I was charged $ 974.26 by Alyssa so I am right away why am I getting charge this amount and her answer was thats what you ordered so I had waiter confirm with Alyssa that I order only one bottle and was $ 300.00. After arguing back and forth I ask for manager and waited for 30 min and no one came so I ask security for manager and he dispatch through his audio com and waited 45 min. but no manager so I called American Express and explained everything what happen. I did not sign my tab and left for the night comes next few days I called and called for manager but no respond so in the end this people are doing this to lots of people the same way ripping people off. I left message again today morning also but no answers or respond from manage.
Top shelf service! Great staff.
Racist place don’t even try
This place was overall pretty good i just feel it was a little to expensive and small but the food was good.
The drinks are mediocre. The bartenders are rude and look like life has taken its tole on them. They told me $30 for 2 goose and redbulls and charged me 35...
Cool vibe and good drinks.
So after reading these posts. I would have to agree with everyone else BLACK MALES are not welcome at this night club. Kevin Johnson should shut it down before he is out of office I never write any posts or bad reviews but this club here wow racist as hell. Dont go here save your money
Good music and great service.
Awesome place for a late afternoon chill!
Awesome place, good music and good atmosphere
DO NOT GO TO THE MIX!! This is quite possibly the most RACIST establishment in the city (club bar or any kind of that matter) the undefined dress code is the loosely veiled diversion used to keep minorities out black and Hispanic particularly . I watched a group of several white men enter the club with large boot cut jeans and cowboy boots, before being turned away.. I a fitted sweater Ralph Lauren straight cut jeans and a pair of ferragamo dress shoes. This was apparently not compliant with the dress code as the bottoms of the pants were quote to wide at the ankle, and shouldnt cover the back of my shoes WHAT!!! To add insult to injury two more white men with tattered t-shirts and baggy carpenter jeans while I am discussing this dress code infraction with the bouncer. When asked if the ankle of there pants being 5 times the size of mine, another bouncer who I wasnt speaking with said they paid for a table. Then when I said I can pay for a table which I had planned to do, (but obviously at that point I was no longer going to do) They responded with there sold out. Side note the guys with the large pants join the conversation and questioned why couldnt I be let in. I have friends of all ethnicities and religious backgrounds, regardless of where your ancestors are from right is right wrong is wrong.
After paying for a night of bottle service I couldnt use a restroom and was forced to leave. Not a good way to treat customers. I hate leaving bad reviews but this was disrespectful in my book. *edit to clarify* they close the restrooms exactly at 130. Waiting for the hostess to close the bottle service tab I missed my window to use their restroom apparently.
Mix buys positive reviews on Yelp. Fact check it by calling yelp directly. Mix is junk and racist.
Most RACIST place Ive ever been to. Wrong turn to go ! Bouncers just keep ppl outside on the line for no reason just to pretend the place is hot .
This place discriminates against minorities, even if you come dressed in a button up nice fit jeans and clearly acceptable shoes, tried three times three different outfits, they wont recieve any of my business or be recommended
I always have a great time at the Mix! :)
Great venue and staff is friendly.
Hey I want everybody to know they have a white racist security guard that put his hands on my friend for being black and manhandling her to leave the club in front of all his co-workers and supervisor . We ( all my were all different race ) was already leaving the club and he called her a nappy headed b**** Im so disgusted and Im pretty sure theyre not going to fire him smh Ill never go back there again #blacklivesmatter
Racist place. Bouncer are Terrible especially cookie will never go bAck not recommended
Nice place to hang out at
Nice atmosphere for after work networking
Awesome place
The Door people are very rude. Kyle was legit. He always took care of my people.
They made us wait in the line for half hour and later told us they cannot let is in. The whole line had to turn back, it was terrible!
Only went for a birthday party
Rude never going back
No restroom
Racist - stay away
Great ambiance
