A Home to All

Your Cravings

Empress Tavern is a subterranean restaurant located under the historic Crest Theatre on K street in downtown Sacramento. Our food can be best described as unfussy American fare featuring shareable small plates, seasonal salads and hearty entrees. (If you’re curious about our current offerings click the “menu” button above as the menu changes often.)


The Empress bar slings seasonal cocktails with a themed menu celebrating film series hosted by the Crest Theatre upstairs. We have a battery of 8 beers on tap, mostly local and some from afar. Canned beer and wine are also available. 


The space is beautiful (sometimes a bit loud) but perfect for commiserating with your favorite humans.
