I WAS AGGRESSIVELY, KICKED (SHOVED) OUT OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT, AND WAS NOT GIVEN ANY REASON WHY!!! This was my first time coming to Borderline. Everyone was line dancing to every song, even the pop/ hip hop songs they played had a line dance to go with it. I stayed on the outskirts of the dance floor, and attempted to learn one of the line dances. After just 1 song, I decided to get off the dance floor and get a drink. Before I made it to the bar, a bouncer aggressively got in my face and told me I had to leave! I was shocked, I didnt do anything wrong. I asked the bouncer, "Why, what did I do?" Thats when he puffed out his chest, and physically started pushing me. Once we got out the front door, I turned to the bouncer and calmly asked again, "why are you kicking me out, what did I do wrong?" Again, he would not answer me. He told me to get off the property or hed call the police. I had only been in the establishment for 15 minutes or so, I had only 1 drink, and I danced to 1 song. I cant believe what they did to me. It was wrong on so many levels. After reading some of the other reviews here, it sems like this kind of thing happens pretty often. Thats why they only have 2.5 stars. I have never been kicked out of a bar in my life, and I still have no idea why I was kicked out of this one. I wish I would have thought to grab my cell phone camera to record what had happened. THIS PLACE WRONGED ME ON SO MANY LEVELS, AND ALL I CAN DO IS GIVE THEM AN HONEST REVIEW. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

This place has gone way way way way downhill. The bathrooms are out of toilet paper by 10 pm, the bathroom doors are all broken and the last time I was there , 2 puddles of vomit were never cleaned up in the bathroom so if you had to use a toliet, you had to straddle the vomit. The carpet smells like mold and on wednesday nights there are so many people on the dance floor you cant even move but you can get shoved and pushed into by sweaty drunk people. This used to be a place for great line dancing, now the people that go dont even know how to line dance - its become a dirty neglected bar.

I am concerned about my safety and friends safety at this place. First they openly serve minors alcohol. I have managed bars and was amazed to see this. Second the bathroom had human feces on the ground. I went back later and not cleaned up. That is a major health code violation. Next they allow too many people in causing fire safety issues. The manager is clearly only concerned about getting as many cover charges as possible. Dont go there. Take your money somewhere where your safety is cared about.

Last night we had our daughters Sweet 16 Birthday Party at Borderline. It was absolutely wonderful!! Our daughter and her friends didnt stop dancing - and when they did, it was only to eat or play pool! Noel was awesome, making all the arrangements and being the DJ. Mark could not do enough for us regarding the food and our ice cream bar!! We left Borderline very, very happy!! Thank you, thank you!! Our girl will have the happiest of memories!

I went one night to dance. I played my entrance fee at the door and they change they gave me was fake money. I tried using the cash from there the next day to buy food and the restaurant wouldnt take it because it was a forged bill. I tried to call Borderline to fix this issue and they have ignored all of my calls and messages. Very shady and shows they have no concern for their customer.

Visited this place for the Adam Carrolla live Podcast place was OK I enjoyed the show but the staff was very bored and not attentive. Kitchen closed at 10pm I made line like 15 minutes before that only to be told that kitchen was closed. Wont blame the place for the staff but they can at least serve you with a smile. Would not visit again unless theres is another event.

This place rules. Excellent food, good vibe, lots of room and the staff couldnt have been friendlier. Theyre already dominating out in Thousand Oaks so its good to have them here now. The mac and cheese was great as was the fried chicken bucket. Good selection of beers as well. One of the bartenders is English so everything he says sounds wonderful. Check it!

The food was okay but the BBQ sauce was delicious. I enjoyed the different drinks. I feel like it needs to be a bit more exciting for the young crowd like have some Vegas style dancers to get people on the dance floor who tend to be shy.

Great western-inspired bar with live music and a sizeable dance floor. They may charge a cover on weekends, and dont expect to get a beer for less than $5, even if its just a Coors Light.

Theres really nothing else like Borderline around here. Even if youre not into country music, its a fun place to spend an evening. Tip: Once it gets busy, order beverages two at a time.

Amazing country bar with large dance floor. Did not eat here, but drinks were well priced and staff was very friendly. Pool tables. But people come here to dance.

This was my old stomping grounds. It was great to be back. Not much has changed. So glad for that. Remember that the new/pop country isnt "real" country.

Elijah Mason

Cheap drinks. Live music. On the smaller side but thats a positive for this bar. Recommend this spot to just kick back with a beer and dodge some yuppies.

Seriously the best time here. The bar was great. Food was a bit pricey when you look at how much you get but thats nitpicking to find something wrong.

I saw a punk show at this cowboy bar. Big, clean, open space... Had a cowboy saddle made into a disco ball... Friendly staff.
