When it comes to live local music, "Old I" is a Sacramento icon. Many famous bands started here including Cake, Catfish and the Crawdaddies, as well as Mick Martin. Sometimes crowded, sometimes intimate, this bar features historical photos on the wood paneled walls. The stage is in an adjoining room so patrons can usually find a booth in which to talk over the music if they choose. Full bar service is available.
