Popular Sacramento nightclub Tiger evicted amid bankruptcy proceedings

Tiger Restaurant & Lounge has closed its downtown Sacramento K Street location, just over two months after filing for bankruptcy.

With its entrance secured with a metal chain and lock, a notice on the doors of the popular restaurant and bar shows the eviction order was given March 8.

Attorneys for owner RTB Hospitality, LLC of Roseville filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 7, according to documents registered with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California.

The court filing shows 700 Block Commercial LP, which owns the building, owed $125,000 in past due rent.

A Chapter 11 filing is a reorganization effort used primarily by businesses that allow them to restructure their debts under court supervision.

Tiger’s business phone number was not accepting voicemails Thursday. In an outgoing message, callers were advised that communication would only be done through text message. No one responded to a text directed to Tiger’s business phone number.

The two-story club, which opened in 2018, is known for its proximity to the Golden 1 Center.

In 2025, the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control suspended Tiger’s liquor license for 30 days following an investigation that was launched when a former employee allegedly sold cocaine to an undercover ABC agent, according to the Sacramento Business Journal.
