Ernie's Interlude Cocktail Lounge has been Sacramento's divey cornerstone since 1959, a windowless, dimly-lit sanctuary at 2926 Eastern Avenue where a horseshoe bar and embedded golf-tag tables preserve perfectly authentic neighborhood character. Strong, well-priced cocktails arrive in a space adorned with vintage mirrored walls, while karaoke ignites Wednesday through Saturday nights at 9 p.m., making this a local institution that refuses to age.
