The Bolt

Nice hole in the wall sorta place - definitely non scene,,, just like a neighborhood bar where you can stop in for a drink

Walked in. Stood at the bar to order a drink. Was straight up ignored for 5 minutes by the bartender. Ended walking out as the bartender proceeds to serve others that came in after me.

Very open welcoming environment overall. Non judgmental atmosphere. Fire pit out back music good adult fun. 8/10

Negatives: Been to this bar several times and it’s hard to go as a loner. Although this bar boast inclusiveness. It actually hard to approach other patrons as it seems more than half already have groups and stick together. Weekdays are slow and the few patrons are kind of forced to talk to Each other, which is a good way to get to know some people and make connections. But if you go on alone on busy nights, weekends or theme nights out of curiosity, be prepared to be a loner all night. Unless someone takes interest in you, from either finding you attractive or from a kink perspective, and then strikes up a convo. I really hoped Bolt Bar Sacremento would be different but it is clique/click-ish just more subtlety so. Everyone is welcome of course and bartenders are diverse of different ages and races and body types which was nice to see. it just felt like alot of patrons choose to only see their friends or people they were attracted to. Positives: On a kinkier side I have seen some pretty sexy stuff go down here that was fun to watch. All the bartenders I’ve had have been super friendly, quick to serve and accommodating. If you can’t find someone to talk to there is a Dart machine, a pool table, and multiple TVs (playing atleast 3 different things a couple of different “adult movies” and tv programs. They also have security cams that cover their parking lots, which is cool. Kink events taught here were inclusive, when I went, and where fun and informative. but once the group lesson ended, that inclusive feeling waned quickly and most instructors and seasoned patrons went to their preferred groups. I saw many of new people standing in back corner wishing to be apart of the group with wanting eyes. but don’t fret if you’re hot, or someone finds you hot, or you fit their particular kink you definitely might get an invite to the cool kids table .

Such a delightful, clean and friendly place. It is always a pleasure to stop in here and just relax. A classic beer garden with the right kind of twist. PS: WARNING for straight or whatever you consider yourself in relation to the universe, this is a very Gay Bar. And by that I mean that Everyone is happy and gay here. If you are not happy or feel uncomfortable being yourself around people who are happy being themselves, please find another place to be happy; and best wishes to all in finding there happy place.
