"Sweet" Conversations

We just couldn't wait until December to have more fun with our ballroom window displays. Once the Naughty & Nice list came down, we immediately started planning a new display for Valentine's Day. Cruise by the windows on J Street to see our imagined conversations between celebrities, politicians and the people of Sacramento with a Valentine's Day twist!

Have we forgotten anything or anyone? Let us know - there's still a few candy hearts up for grabs!

Naughty or Nice?

We've made a list and checked it twice, with the help of Santa Claus of course! Stroll by The Citizen Hotel windows on J street to see our naughty and nice list!

We're making this an annual Christmas tradition, so watch your p's and q's in the year 2010 because we'll be right there watching with Santa Claus! Check out this year's list:

We're Becoming Even More Scandalous

Dodging the latest hearsay? Hiding from the press?

With the addition of our Scandal hotline phone, similar to the president’s “red telephone,” we are now linking Scandal patrons directly to a Grange Restaurant server. Keeping with the backroom political deal-making theme, patrons are now able to order from our dinner and bar menu without blowing their cover!

Beginning Monday October 5, 2009, Scandal is open to the public every day at 5:30 p.m. and closes at 11 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, 12 a.m. on Friday through Saturday and 10 p.m. on Sunday. The bar also continues to be available for private events.

Hope to see you at Scandal soon!
