We tried to go here for a birthday party on Saturday night. 30 of us came out from SF. We had all had maybe 1-3 beers before, so no one was drunk. The door staff was rude from the second we got there. We had arranged a 10 dollar cover for the group prior to arrival, but we had to get there by 9. We were there at 9:07 and they were completely unreasonable and wanted us to pay $20.00 a person. Really, the kicker was that after about 7 minutes of chatting they declared we couldnt go in at all. Two girls from our group had left their IDs with the bouncer, gone to use the ladies, and a manager on the inside was upset they hadnt paid (although they had permission to go in) The guys on the outside said they had a right to refuse anyone and they were refusing us. There were no loud words, no fighting, no drunkedness. Just some dudes in Fremont acting like jerks because they could. Perhaps they dont like city yuppies in their bar? Ultimately, I am a bay area local, and I have been excited to visit this place. I would never recommend anyone planning their party here. Skip the bull. It is not worth it. They really ruined our night. And we are a really fun loving respectful group. (They mentioned being worried we would leave the place to go drink on the bus- um, we only had booze on the bus to get to the bar and we all have JOBS and are in our late twenties.... we can afford a drink inside thank you)

The security guards wouldnt let me or a friend in based on race. We got out of an Uber (not a party bus) and were denied entrance as soon as we came up. We even followed the dress code on their website (no hoodies, no track suits, no low hanging jeans, no sleeveless tees, etc). The gals came in knee length modest country western dress, the guys came with jeans and a collard shirt. We were treated like thugs. The security cursed us out and threatened to call the police. We had to call another Uber and wait at the street corner while they kept harassing us. One of them even followed us to the street corner, continuing to curse us out. He picked on my black friend and threatened him. The security guard said my friend came with an open container. He explained that it was an empty solo cup and he had disposed of it across the street respectfully before approaching The Saddle Rack. I told my friend to keep his head cool and snapped a few pictures as we left, bewildered that we had been treated that way. Two gave me their names but one of them pointed to his chest and said "S-E-C-U-R-I-T-Y is all you need to know. Thats my name b----". Everyone in our group was sober. Clearly the security guards there were not.

Went to the saddle rack on a Saturday night, security guards( so they claimed to be, there were 10 of them)were standing outside drinking and we saw one guy relieving himself on a car. We were told it was a private event but we could get in if we paid them $1000. We said we didnt have that much cash and they told us if we had drugs to give them we could get in. Didnt have that either and they told us to leave or they would call the cops. As we started to leave they tried to box us in and a guy w/ a baseball bat came up to the car and acted like he was going to swing it at our car. We took off and called the cops but didnt stick around to see what happened.

Not a country fan at all. If youre not either, this might not be somewhere youd want to visit. We came here for a friends birthday outing and everyone had a pretty good time. The drinks were good and there was a good amount of space for dancing. The biggest downside was the $20 cover that none of us were expecting to have to pay. There was a mechanical bull and barber chair for drinks. Food was a bit price for what you were getting ($4 for some basic fries that werent good), nothing super fancy at all. Would consider coming back here again for someones party, but the country scene isnt my thing.

This is such a fun nighttime hangout place for friends, especially if you like Country Two Step or line dancing. Its very chill for all types of people, and its the perfect place to let loose. Saddle Rack has several bars, a mechanical bull, 2 stages for dancing, live music, and a dance cage (for those who are into that). Its a huge place. Every who comes is here to have fun. Lots of bachelorette parties are held here. There are even some old dancers who completely rock the dance floors. Overall, its tons of fun for groups.

I used to come here a while ago. I choose to come today since I havent been here for a while. After my first drink I found myself getting escorted out while being yelled and sweared at for being a "dirty jew" by the security staff. This place hires only white racist people as security and Im no the only one complaint I suggest you read other feedbacks to learn for yourself. Give you hardworking money to another place of business, one who isnt discriminate based on race. Thanks Dean

This place was great and the staff was great. A little pricey with there drinks, but the main thing is after 10pm you cant dance around the floor because all the people dancing in one spot. If your there to dance country, keep the floor moving and dont allow the people to stand in one place with drinks on the floor, that messes up good dance boots when people spill drinks on the floor. Bouncers need to keep that from happening, its a country western bar, not a rave!

As a Texan in California, I was looking for a place like this, and it is amazing every time. Its a country music bar with a big dance floor and live music on a raised stage, a mechanical bull, a dancing cage, etc. Its barn-like lit up with Christmas lights; its a basic beer place. The crowd is somehow authentically country - people totally seriously wearing cowboy hats and boots and knowing more line dance moves than Ive ever seen. A slightly out of the way gem.

A hidden gem in Fremont! A great place for a Friday night out. The live band is super talented and sings your favorite country hkts and top 40 songs :) They have line dancing throughout the night - of you have never done it before they have lessons from 7:30-9 pm. We had a blast trying to learn the moves ! Combine the dentist chair with the mechanical bull and youve got yourself an entertaining night for sure

We took a party bus to SaddleRack Saturday night from SF. We got there at 9:10 and the bouncers were extremely rude and turned us away saying, all buses have to be there before 9. It wasnt the enforcement of the policy (even though I would think 10 minutes to welcome 15 people would be ok) it was the extreme rudeness and disrespect that came from the Saddlerack employees.

Came over on friday night, didnt realized that this place does not let you in with a plain white t-shirt, the bouncer was extremely rude treating me as i was a criminal! In went and purchase the 15$ t-shirt as the bouncer escorted me to make sure im not doing anything stupid. absolutely ridiculous been to this place multiple time but this bouncer must be replaced!
