The Limelight is a cool neighborhood Pub that also has a card room in back. (The Pub area is separate, which I like, as Im not a gamer. ) They have quality beers on tap, excellent food, and a pleasant clientele. Its usually not crazy-crowded, but theres always someone to strike up a conversation or enjoy a ball game with. Law students from nearby Lincoln Law School are regulars - you may see them there with law books, studying.

Friendly staff and a nice place to play poker. I started here when I was very new and the players and staff were very patient and friendly to me. Now I am pretty much addicted to card games ;-). Best place to play cards in Sac, but then again there are only 3 places. haha!!

Lots of wonderful things to say about Limelight, The food is amazing, drinks, & TV’s all over to watch the game. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a good time. I spend most my time in the Cardroom on the poker table (great 1-2 game) it is a very friendly & lively environment.-RealtorAnthony IbarraBig Block Realty

Cool place. Friendly and helpful dealers. Also has drinks big Jenga and connect four.

1/15/19I absolutely got my butt HANDED to me playing three card poker and blackjack. Had really, REALLY bad luck playing here.That being said everything else was a great experience. The staff was friendly, food was good, and drinks cheap.Wish the terrible gambling experience didnt mar my visit! Really seems like a great group of people. Never got up more than $20. :(Update 2/12/19: Returned and same thing happened. Great experience with the staff, but never was up. Guess this place isnt lucky for me. Wont be returning. Otherwise, the people were nice and personable.

Nice place to play poker. Casino was nice. Staff was friendly. Food and drinks were good. Clean place and crowd was nice. I lost the game but still the place was nice.

This was th 1st X I had visited this place,& really had no idea tht food was even served here. Oh my. The service was just so personable. Th gentleman who took our order,was right on whñ he suggested th vegetable beef. I could not of said it was any closer to homemade, if I had not made it myself. This soup was so delectable,just so right on. Ths soup contained not only th vegs, this also had barley in it(which is something I would of added). Th gentleman said yes th soups r homemade. Th atmosphere was casual. Relaxed like feeling.(th casino part was separated by a wall)so tht probably had something to do w tht. Yes theres a wide array of choice on the food menu. Yes alcohol is served.& Yes last but not least,(an area to smóke in) oh my &yes I asked 4 an energy drink&voila I got 1.yeah!

Good food great place for our ol guys track team meetup

Food is good and they have several dart boards and outdoor covered smoking area and happy hour is great.

Just has a drink .. but love the outdoor seating

I love it...but I wish they would organize more hold um.

Great food, fun atmosphere, and all around good fun.

Very clean and most of all NON JUDGEMENTAL towards it players & customers!!!! Super friendly staff especially for a card room. For the first time walking in (and Ive been to many card rooms) it was VERY much welcoming with its friendly staff and atmosphere

What a dump. Poker room is a 3 table joke. Pass on this place

Fun place, good food, good drinks!

Been going for years. Staff is awesome. Owners have done great job on all aspects.

Our server Nick is always awesome

Well like anyone knows its all about money! Yet theres up and down times when you should have thought of not going at all.then if you looking for a night out ,who knows you could be lucky.over all staff is always nice

Laid back atmosphere. Good food and drinks. Friendly employees.

We had our fantasy football draft there. They have a indoor and outdoors patio. The foods good and not expensive. And of course you can gamble.

Great place. Great workers. Great drinks. Food is great and good portions.

Where I learned to play poker! Where else?

Went to play blackjack and had tons of fun everyone there is a blast and zone positive and laid back. Definitely have to come stop in and have some fun also great drinks and lots more.

Excellent service! The employees were always happy and enjoyed their jobs! Being in a wheelchair they were always willing to help out. I will definitely return when I come back to town!

Cool bar, fun n chill gambling atmosphere, good food, friendly staff. 4.5 star for slow midweek poker.

Low key friendly atmosphere

Great place to have a drink with out the coroner dive feel..

Cool little spot to play cards and have a beer. Fantasy draft was going on while I was there, looked like decent food options. Very friendly staff.

Fun place just remodeled. always great food and drinks. staff are first class Dealer stand out is Carm hope i spelled that right, she is such a sweetheart. Very cool player rewards as well. not to mention the 50% discount all casino players get on food.

Absolutely wonderful Service Great blackjack tables had a blast

Fun place, especially for brunch. Sometimes inconsistent kitchen.

The food was excellent but the waiter service was awful I think he thinks people are going to ask him and not to buy it, he was the waiter who has a big mustache, rude and very sarcastic with customers.Id rather not go back if hes taking care of people.

Nice place for brunch. Good food, not too pricey.

Love this place. Great staff, crazy action for $1/2 NLHE.

This is one of the best places to gamble in northern california, if you play cards. Blackjack tables (usually just 1 or 2) have profitable bonus (try the red bet!) that pay out more than other sacramento card rooms. The food is great, the drinks are actually from a bar not watered down casino drinks; the setting is very intimate, cozy, unintimidating. great place for a small gathering-they book parties and the patio is small enclosed, weather ready and one of my favorite places to relax. Im not getting anything for this review-often I am stopping by this place, was an everyday staple for me until I moved acroos town :( Think I will go to limelight tonight. they also have 3 card poker and couple tables for poker games that almost always play on hours past the 2AM closing time. Love this place!

Good place to have drinks and play cards. Friendly staff.

Great drinks, food, lots of tvs for sports

Very interesting card room and bar.

Best cardroom in Sac!

Security is awesome

Average quickness for bar service, a bit pricey , card tables always a loss

Slow, expensive, slow and bartenders should treat ALL patrons the same.
