Is The Golden Bear Still Open? Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Update
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Season 11 Sacramento, California
Current status
As of October 2026, The Golden Bear is listed open on goldenbear916.com, reviewed by our team on September 7, 2026; not yet independently confirmed through direct contact.
What the source shows: The bar's own website, checked 2026-09-08, returned HTTP 200 with a working hours listing, an active online-ordering, loyalty, and gift-card system, and copy stating the business has 'been around for 20 years' since its 2004 founding, consistent with a currently operating business, though the page carried no explicit current-year date to confirm that specific claim.

What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
The Golden Bear appeared on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives in the episode "Pub, Grub and More," which aired on 2011-01-03, when Guy Fieri visited the Sacramento, California bar. According to the bar's own website, it was established in 2004 and sits at 2326 K Street, offering both a kitchen and a full bar with separate posted hours (kitchen Monday-Friday 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m., Saturday-Sunday 10:30 a.m.-9 p.m.; bar Monday-Friday 11:30 a.m.-2 a.m., Saturday-Sunday 10:30 a.m.-2 a.m.). The site, checked 2026-09-08, returned a working page with an active online-ordering, loyalty, and gift-card system alongside a note that the business has "been around for 20 years." That live ordering system and posted operating hours indicate the bar was functioning under current management as of the check date, though the "20 years" line itself was not independently dated and may not reflect the exact current year.
