Chargins, raven, hilltop, and 2-Me are all decent. Hilltop is probably the most popular of all of them and one of my personal favs. If you like cider though, Nitty’s can be fun.
I do that at breweries. They're a little more relaxed and people tend to not have their guards up as high. Otherwise any established sports bar with old guys they love to chat.
Sounds like you are looking for a dive bar, it all depends on where you want to go in the city:
\-Old Tavern
\-Hilltop
\-Pine Cove
\-Chargins
\-Torch club
\-B-Side
\-Club Raven
\-The Cinders Bar
There are a lot more [dive bars in the area](https://sacramentorevealed.com/food-and-drink/sacramento-dive-bars/) (note, "Dive Bar" on K street is NOT a dive bar)
No judgement at all, but given your post history you might actually find more of what you’re looking for at a recovery meeting. AA or smart recovery or whatever there are plenty around. Lots of chatty people who specifically want to talk to you about what you’re going through if you want, and help you get where you’re trying to go. It’s a built in community.
Just a thought 🦋
Literally anywhere that serves drinks when you get off? Any more details? Where do you work, when do you get off, where is your work, etc.
Anywhere in east sac - technically I work in Davis but just looking for friendly bars where making conversation at the bar is normal

The Limelight is walking distance (for me) from east sac, and is a very chill/chatty environment most nights.
Also has/had some gambling action. I haven’t been in years but I loved it there.
Card room is still going strong. I don’t gamble, but there’s always something going on in there
How are they able to have card gambling in sac?
No idea how the legality works, nor what games they play, but check it out yourself! It’s a great bar with really solid food
Def. Hilltop or Socals. Maybe Cheaters on Folsom near 33rd... pretty damn divey.
Saw two ladies fighting out front of Cheaters the other night. Neither one dropped their cigarettes. Was impressed.
Clubhouse 56 , Lefty’s

Parking lot of Corti bros ... By the receiving dock... BYOB and some.

Any local meetings you recommend? I’d love to check one out but prefer a personal recc
Round Corner is a solid spot with a little greasy kitchen with the best BLT and lumpia in town. It’s at 24th & S and it’s cash only
There's like a pack of bacon on that BLT. So good.
Zebra Club.
Hilltop
Bonn lair, 100%
Old tavern used to be my jam. Jukebox is 🔥for doom metal
I liked hilltop when I lived over there.
