Great Sacramento Buildings: Old Ironsides

On the corner of 10th and S Streets, just off the R Street Corridor, sits the fabulous and historic tavern and former bottle shop - Old Ironsides. 

Framed by a great neon sign, the building is a classic urban, mixed use brick building. 

Old Ironsides has that great prominence and pride - it is inviting, interesting and the building is a declaration of time and place.  This is a landmark building in architecture and a landmark in the geography of The Big Tomato.

Yes, it is a drinking establishment and the business has developed into one of Sacramento's hippest nightspots.  Old Ironsides serves lunch with or without a PBR.

I performed here a few times doing stand up comedy during open mic nights in the early 1990s and am more than pleased it was before the advent of YouTube...

See you around for a pint maybe?
