My first time at Drake's Barn was for R&B and Ribs. It was a good time! The environment was perfect for the event, and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I am looking forward to returning for more summer evening vibes.

What a really cool fun place to hang out! Sunday was filled with kids and families. So much open space and tables to choose from and some can even be reserved. Self-service water stations are convenient and frequently replenished. 2 large beer bars to serve the thirsty. I really appreciated the self service beach chairs. Can't wait to take my kid there soon! Pizza 4* Beers 5* Salad 4* Vibe 5*

I love the ambiance and my dog gets to chill with me. Cool spot. Haven't tried the food because I'm not sure about the gluten free options.

Review for Drake’s Brewing – Sacramento We visited on a day that wasn’t particularly busy, but the experience was mixed. We ordered food through the QR code system, and it took a long time to arrive—and unfortunately, it was cold when it finally came. It felt like there wasn’t a manager on duty to keep things running smoothly. That said, the atmosphere is really nice, especially outside. There was a DJ playing during our visit, which added a great vibe to the space. Just be prepared for a line to order at the counter and possibly a line to get in, even when it’s not packed. Also, parking can be a bit of a hassle—it’s paid street parking and not always easy to find. Overall, great vibe and music, but the service and food delivery need improvement.

Food: we ordered bbq chicken plates. Delicious overall. A bit pricey in my opinion Service: honestly, non existent. It's more of a you order at counter, find your own seat type "restaurant" Atmosphere: we didn't get the full experience because it was pouring! But it looks like it would get full on a summer night, the firepits and seating are cute. But overall not sure if it's a restaurant or park with food. Overall: would I come back? Yes during better weather, but even so I don't think the "service" is here if you're looking for sit down experience. But I enjoyed my time with mom and her friend. Head's up: the parking on the street is difficult because it's right next to what looks like a big appartament complex
