Sacramento happy hour is a grid game: Midtown Italian rooms, downtown taco bars, and East Sac spritzes, all with the dollars printed. The Capitol side runs 3–6 ladders. Midtown runs $6–$8 rails. East Sac runs $5 spritzes. These are the signature sips and bites the venues themselves publish — prices only where the bar printed them.
