our history

Billed as "Sacramento's Premier Gay Nightclub," we are the largest and most established gay venue in Sacramento since 1985. We feature numerous bars and dance floors that attract different segments of Sacramento's gay community.

We are unique in Sacramento's gay bar scene, in that we offer a variety of different dance rooms: a hip hop/R&B room in the rear of the club, circuit music (and before 11:00pm on weekends, country and line dancing) in the middle bar, and a techno/house dance floor in the newest expansion area (now the dance floor at the front of Faces). Other additions include an upper patio that overlooks a pool, and a bar station reserved just for martini orders, located upstairs.

Faces, along with Badlands across the street, we have helped transform the intersection of 20th and K into THE night spot to be for Midtown and reach a wide spectrum of customers. Despite being a gay bar, straight couples have increasingly become a common sight, especially on Friday nights. This is not to say Faces is becoming 'heterosexualized' as it still promotes itself as and is perceived to be primarily a gay establishment.
