Bear & Crown: Reviews & Ratings
Probably the best sticky toffee pudding Ive had anywhere. Perfect match with the Highland Springs cocktail. (it comes as a full glass, I didn't think to take a photo until it was half gone)
Visited March 27th..see receipt. When I am in old Sacramento I try to fit in as much as I can because it's such a fun place to go to! We went to the Bear and Crown because I really wanted a pretzel! Their pretzels are not the typical pretzel you would expect. It was a nice surprise to have a freshly made pretzel with perfect seasoning and served with 2 sauces. My boyfriend had the beer special and I had a glass of wine. It's beautiful inside with oversized seating booths. The outside has more seating and even set up for corn hole. The full bar is nice and the decorations make you feel you are in a British pub! They also sell items next door that remind you of England! Leo was our server and he was very pleasant and attentive! This is a classy yet warm environment!
This is a good place to get food that isn't offered everywhere. The pretzel was soft and I liked the cheese dip. I specifically went on a Sunday to get the prime rib which is only offered once a month. The prime rib was massive and came with salad, potatoes, carrots, and a Yorkshire pudding. The meat was juicy and soft. I also tried the lamb dish and it tasted interesting. The waiter was very kind.
Food and service were great! I came in for lunch after a trip the to train museum with my family on a Sunday. My two kids (5&7 y/o) loved the burgers and fish&chips. My wife and I ordered a pub burgers that were very good. I also tried a side of biscuits and gravy and they were amazing. My mom ordered a salad and enjoyed it. The environment was great and clean, NFL football and soccer were on the televisions, and I got 2 off a outstanding cocktail for having my Sacramento kings hat on during a Kings game day. We will definitely be back - Bear & Crown is definitely worth return visits and local support!
My boyfriend and I had dinner at Bear & Crown while walking my dog in old sac. They have a nice backyard section and gave my dog water :) the food was great. Scotch eggs were delicious; the mustard sauce really highlighted the taste and texture. I ordered the cottage pie, and my boyfriend got the lamb loin. The lamb was so tender I enjoyed the cider too. We will definitely stop by again
Holy smokes! Came in because I was hungry and liked the vibes. Left extremely satisfied! The pretzel has no business being as good as it was, probably the best pub pretzel I've ever had. It was perfectly crunchy on the outside and super warm and soft on the inside. You will not regret getting this. Almost got a 2nd! For my meal, I got the salmon. Dayum, it was good! The only complaint I have was that there needs to be more. Either would've liked a little more salmon and rice (which is what comes out) or a veggie side, maybe asparagus. Besides that... goodness! Great way to end a trip to Old Town! Can't wait to come back!
Service was great and food was excellent. I had the steak and fries. Perfect! For dessert I had the bread pudding with ice cream. Delicious! Great atmosphere.
New British Pub dining restaurant in Old Sacramento. Clean and spacious with an outdoor patio dining option. We tried the scotch eggs and fish n chips. Scotch eggs were very delicious. Not overcooked a nice starter. We shared a fish n chips 2 nice pieces of Cod and fries with yummy minted pea smash. Served hot n fresh was nice. Service friendly and attentive..we would definitely come back again. We saw a delicious looking Mac n cheese dish and a few interesting looking cocktails on their menu. Right on the main street of Old Sacramento don't pass on this spot.
