What People Are Saying About Saucebox Cafe & Bar

Citysearch
Out-of-towners, well-heeled professionals and bar hoppers in skinny jeans and heels convene at this established cocktail destination in the heart of downtown. With a colorful drink in hand, they scan the room, checking out the sultry, minimalist decor and Seussian wall mural--and the handsome creatives in the corner booth. Next door, in the heavenly white dining room, a white-jacketed wait staff serves artful Pan Asian dishes of roasted Javanese salmon and pupu platters to upscale, moneyed clientele.

Happy Hour
by SuzeC
I'd give 1/2 a star off for having a hard time finding parking yesterday, but not an option in rating system here. Everything else was easy and great. Hard to find a better deal in town. My favorite happy hour in town. Bartenders are very nice. Fun to sit at the bar and watch drinks get made.
- Pros: food, fun, prices
- Cons: parking

Packed!
by JillianS
I have never seen so many people packed into a bar! I went with a couple of friends, the dj was playing 80's music, the drinks were interesting and delicious. I love the tropical cosmo with guava in it. It became harder and harder to get a drink as the place kept getting busier and harder to get to the bar. Generally a memorable night but it would have helped to have a second bar or something on such a busy night. I really liked the place otherwise. I'll definitely be back.
- Pros: DJ and Tropical Drinks

Great Sunday Night Out!
by miller063
It was a sleepy, rainy Sunday night, but the room, food and drinks made us forget about the gloom outside. I had the salmon which was perfect and my girlfriend, a light eater, had a couple of appetizers. She loved the tapioca dumplings. Just a great place to have open on a Sunday night. It is hard to find anything outside of a hotel that is open downtown on Sundays.
- Pros: Food and Drinks
