Our Story

Where Sacramento meets the sky
and the soil beneath it.

Darling Aviary is a rooftop bar and restaurant at 712 K Street in downtown Sacramento, above DoCo and a short walk from Golden 1 Center. Come up after work for happy hour, Monday through Friday until 6 PM, with cocktails from $9. Brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 11 AM to 3 PM with the skyline in view. When you have a birthday, a promotion or a long-overdue reunion to celebrate, the rooftop is ready for it.

Our menus follow Sacramento's farm-to-fork tradition. The kitchen cooks nose to tail and the bar works root to fruit, so every part of what our growers bring us ends up on a plate or in a glass.

Come for the views. Stay for the drinks. Leave with a story worth telling.

What people say
after a night up here.

Amazing rooftop spot in Downtown Sacramento. Very relaxing and upbeat atmosphere that’s a great hangout spot with friends to have a good time along with good drinks/food. Service was friendly and the music was great.

Perfect Bourbon hot toddy, not too sweet, and slightly spicy. Loaded with clove And a touch of honey. My friends each had three espresso martinis in an hour so I guess those rocked too!

Went up to the rooftop and omg it was so beautiful! The atmosphere was very tropical. The DJ was a 1000 out of 10 cause he played throwbacks.

Always an adventure! This is a picturesque spot, both in the downstairs bar and the rooftop terrace. Drinks are creative, well made, and delicious. We have had personable service every time.

Their Guava drink was so healing after a long day's work. Their servers are such sweethearts and the Thursday DJ really brings the rooftop bar to life. Darling Aviary will definitely see me again the next time I'm in town.

It’s really cool place. Went here for a brunch, would recommend making a reservation if you have a big party. They have live music, and the foods and drinks are delicious. You get to have a fantastic view.

One of the best spots in downtown. Always friendly staff, great vibe, solid drinks and bites, and a playlist that always hits.

Stopped here for my 21st Birthday, I had amazing service experiences and beautiful scenery. I just grabbed a couple drinks which were yummy! I will have to come back and try some food!
Kianna C.Google review
Have been here twice in the last 2 weeks, great spot in DOCO overlooking the outdoor ice skating rink. Bartenders were friendly and make delicious drinks. The heaters are key especially when it gets windy!
