Sacramento Magazine

August 2015 issue Page 136. Went to Rudy’s Hideaway to get the lobster roll Shocked to be get something that looks nothing like it. See my posted picture. I showed the waitress and manager the picture and they didn’t recognize it. I can’t fault the restaurant for false advertisement, but I can fault the magazine. The only reason I went to the restaurant is due to the article. Please stop your false advertising. You are only hurting the business. I will be canceling my subscription. I don’t want to waste any more time driving out of town to be handing something I did not expect. The restaurant is great and doesn’t deserve this.

Sacramento Magazine ensures that residents and visitors know what there is to do around the area withou being cliché. Their restaurant picks are great, their article informative. I found the best barre studio owened by a local sac resident! Not one of those big corporate run places. Thank you for your long standing reputation of representing Sacramento as a fun and classy place to live and visit.

I really like this magazine. Always has interesting articles, but my favorite is the Best Of Sacramento issue and the Best Of Party they throw every December. I go with a bunch of friends each year and have too much fun.

The Sacramento Magazine is a great way to find out about Sacramento! The staff is very helpful and always supportive of community events, including the Unilocal party, To Hot to Handle on August 25, 2012. Adam and the entire team were a good addition to the event and thanks to the magazine! Read it today and get a subscription! :)

First off, the photographs all throughout this mag are super duper quality and I always look forward to that :) I understand that midtowners are displaying harsh judgement, but my take is that this is NOT SN&R and we don’t need to compare the two. there’s a time and place for both. for example, the quality Sac Mag covers and showcasing of my FAV eateries are perfect in my waiting room, on my coffee table. this magazine allows me to have a quality looking product, to present to those that may know nothing about Sac. sure, it doesn’t tell you where the free beer-​pong parties are this weekend, and advertises heavily (LOCAL BUSINESS!), but I think Sac Mag is right where it should be. stay classy sac mag ;) do your thing.

Best Magazine ever! I subscribe so I love that I can read it whenever because it’s also on my iPad. So much to read about. I have been a big fan for many years! Love you Sacramento Magazine!

I always enjoy reading Sacramento magazine. I have also attended some of their sponsored events and find them to be cool. They cover so many different events and I look forward to checking out their Snapshots section each issue. Right now I am looking forward to reading the Best Dressed article that has just come out. The other thing I like is that they have a website that keeps me current on goings on about town. Through them I found out about the Too Hot To Handle event coming up this Saturday. I’ll be there

We love this magazine and for someone who actually lives in Sac and has all my life I find it to be a great guide to fun! My husband and I love to flip through the restaurant reviews and find new local places to dine at on the weekends. The Best of Sacramento party that they host every year is SO.MUCH.FUN! Yes it’s heavy on the ads but I guess thats one of my favorite things to look at to get ideas of things to go and eat. Their Wedding Magazine is amazing! Better then any other Northern CA wedding magazine. All my girlfriends have used it while planning their weddings.

They «look» some better after copying Sactown Magazine but the content is still empty & not nearly as well written as the newer magazine. They still write to the local ads & have no national ads!

After years of trying to give this magazine a fair shake, I have to admit that it is pretty bad. The ads fuel everything! They don’t do their research either on the cost of a wedding or on local salaries. They must just collect the quotes and come up with a sum… and done. The society pages are akin to a highschool yearbook. Come on people, step it up… publish some articles with substance. And please, for the love of god… stop giving awards and recognition the usual suspects… its boring!

Is this piece of crap rag still around? Unoriginal, 99.9% ads, crappy photos and art and yawn inducing content… I can’t even use it to line my bird’s cage– he’d be offended.

Great resource for information on the Sacramento area!

Sacramento Magazine is a precious resource for those who are ready to look a little deeper into the happenings in their city. I’ve read the criticisms about too many ads and not enough content (how else do you expect a magazine to survive in the computer age?), and while this may be true, the content is still valuable.
When I initially came to Sactown, I was able to find almost everything I needed in calenders posted in free weeklies and online. But after tiring of the more popular tourist locales I needed something else. Sacmag will give me an in depth scoop on great places to eat, shop and enjoy what the city has to offer.
Best of all, it’s a magazine that maintains a certain standard of glitz and glamour conveyed through beautiful photographs and solid writing. The annual subscription price is inexpensive. Sign up and enjoy!

I think SacMag is a good magazine. I won’t say «great,» mostly due to the excessive advertising, but it certainly is a good publication that does some interesting articles. Does the content get old sometimes, sure, but generally, they do a good job about the events in town and good places to go. They are, after all, a small, local business, and they are successful. They cater to Sacramento in general, and while I will never be a part of the glitzy crowd, I take out of the magazine what is good for me and leave the rest. Over all, I think they’re doing a decent job. I do think they need to venture a little further afield with the «Best of» and focus on local only in that regard, but otherwise, not bad.

When you’re ready to move beyond dive bars and hole-​in-​the-​wall restaurants, Sacramento Magazine is ready for you.
I enjoy reading this magazine and website to find out about nice places to eat, drink and shop in the Sacramento area.
In fact sometimes its a good reminder that Sacramento does have an actual culture beyond gridcentric pub crawls and Second Saturday’s.
Plus, I hear the annual Best of Sacramento party is a blast!

I cancelled this publication after a few years. Too many ads and too much focus on the society crowd. Nothing for just every day Sacramento local folk. The pictures of the Sacramento crowds/​events also lacked the diversity of our city’s rich culture.

Sacramento Magazine is the voice of our region. They are completely invested in the community and work hard to enhance the quality of life for all those who call this home or just come to visit.
I especially like their feature stories on the people and organizations who make the greater Sacramento area the gem of Northern California.

I tried, I really did, reading this magazine. But it’s impossible. So many trees and ink wasted on such futile displays of vanity. If you’ve been subscribing to this rag, you’ve been robbed – of your precious time, money, and intellect – and you deserve it.
One look at the mag’s digs on 56^th Street explains everything.

This magazine is blatantly an overgrown ad monster. None of the reviews have any credibility. It’s obvious that all of the «Best of» awards are merely huge paid advertisments.
I would hate for someone who didn’t know much about Sacramento learn about it from reading this magazine. It’ll probably leave the impression that the ‘best’ thing that Sacramento has to offer is a bunch of chain restaurants.
I would suggest one try the new SacTown Magazine… they seem less biased.

I’m breathing an enormous sigh of relief at the several one-​stars this «magazine» is getting. Thank god. I mean, I know I’m whacky, but at least it’s not just me in this case.
Ok, so how many freaking times can you devote an entire issue of magazine to FOOD. How many times? Well, if you’re Sacramento Magazine, roughly 10 issues a year. «Best Hamburger in Sacramento,» «Top 10 Places for a Romantic Meal.» «Top 14 Restaurants In the South-​Westish Corner of Suburbia Sacramento.» WTF. There’s so much more here than FOOD!
And then they did the wedding issue.
They interviewed several of us who gave more than enough material to write an informational story on getting married in Sacramento. What did they do? Well. They gave that entire section to House of Fashion, which I imagine paid them supremely to do so. And if you really wanna know about House of Fashion, you can see my review on that hellhole, too.
I cancelled my subscription to this magazine about 6 months after starting it. Get a clue, Sacramento Mag. No one gives a damn about yet another «benefit,» and «Who’s Who» around Sacramento. Cripes, I get more info on Sacramento from Unilocal than I do your ad-​ridden pile of paper.
