With nine beers on tap to keep customers happy, no one will ever go home thirsty.  The night before Thanksgiving as well as St. Patrick's Day are huge events for this bar, so expect big crowds and lots of good times.  And if you ever become a regular, be sure to ask about how you could join their softball team to work off those good times you've had there!

If there is a "Cheers" like bar in Sacramento, then this is it.

Chargin's Bar & Grill has also been featured in CBS13's "Best Brunch List", after ranking among the greats for their "Frank's Fried Rice" dish.  So, party the night away and come back in the morning for a spectacular brunch with friends!

The Zebra Club, or better known as the "Z", is among Midtown Sacramento resident's favorite watering holes.   The drinks are cheap, the bar eats are amazing, and they have a great outside patio to hang with friends.   If you're feeling really adventurous, try a "Dr. Pepper."  It's a concoction that tastes just like the soda pop, but has a lot more of a kick.  There have also been rave reviews about their "Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches." So stop in, sit down and enjoy!
