If zero stars were possible i would give it, i've been to my fair share of bars and this place takes the cake for under pouring drinks nasty bathrooms gross tables rude staff. please keep your money and go somewhere else it's not worth the possible diseases!!! read more

Chris is the manager and Matt is great. All the ladies are great. Atmosphere is great. This place is on point. I am from the east bay and would always come back. read more

A really awful place. I've been only 3 times in the last 2 years I've lived in Chico and it's never by choice. Whenever I'm in the bar I'm always uncomfortable at the stares some of bartenders give me. The service is really poor. Takes about 20 minutes to get a drink. Not to mention the owner could care less about the wellbeing of his staff and more cares more about money. People claim it's a racist bar and I 100% agree. read more

Kelseyville is the best bartender and manager!!!!!! Deserves raise!!!!!!! Thank you!!!

Hi, I have called this establishment now 15 times and the phone was not once answered, so naturally I have decided to give up on that form of communication. I lost something very valuable to me at this club and just simply want to know if there is some form of a lost and found. If a manager or owner sees this please feel free to respond- thank you. read more

Mal and KT need to be in the front bar because they're hot and have soo much energy! they are the sweetest!!

Every time I come to Chico I have to come here AT LEAST once! Pros: Good country music Mechanical bull Huge dance floor Pool Tables Cute country boys Lots of tables Cons: Cover charge Weak drinks I'm not from Chico so a cover charge doesn't bother me one bit but everyone seems to whine and moan about it. Come on, it's not a big deal, pay the few bucks and get over it! Another thing, their drinks aren't that great BUT there's an easy way to get around that, GET A BEER! Country and Beer are like peanut butter and jelly. Do yourself a favor and come check it out, you will have a blast! I love the Crazy Horse!!! read more

The place has the nerve to charge a cover in Chico, where there are 10 other no cover bars within 2 blocks. I have never had any of the bartenders be remotely nice or pleasant to me. On top of that, they pour VERY conservatively on all their drinks. An as one final screw you, the drinks are the most expensive I've seen in Chico. $15 for a pitcher of coors light?! I LOVE country music and I refuse to go this place even though it's the only country bar in town. Do yourself a favor and save your money and go to ANY other bar. read more

A poorly run bar due to poor ownership. Employee turnover is high. Drinks are on a metered pour system that is notorious for glitching out. A $20 minimum to use a credit card. There are better bars in Chico read more

HA. this place is a joke. The only night that's worth coming is Wednesday, and by "worth", i mean a cheap date or for the "drink because it's wednesday!" alcoholic. If you get there before 9-10pm, there is no cover, but if you miss it, they charge you 3 drinks worth to get it. hardly seems worth the cover, huh? One time, i made the mistake of ordering a drink between 9-10pm to get a buzz before the crowd (because the owner is obviously to cheap to hire enough staff) and the old guy behind the bar charged me $8.50 for a SINGLE vodka diet. Also, i don't suggest you go when it's raining, or when it's too hot outside. This is because it will either smell like dripping wet cowboy "bros" or ... well, dripping sweaty wet cowboy "bros" because there is no appropriate ventilation in that place. who does that! And try not to burn or be burned by the drunk guy flailing his cigarette on their "porch". read more

Stumbled into this place on Saturday night. It's been a couple of years since I was last in here. Now I'm by no means a cowboy so when me and my posse walk into this place we always make an entrance. Nothing like walking up to the bar and get the rounds of shots flowing and making your way out onto the dance floor and showing them how to get down. Top it off with a shot in the barber chair at the bar and a ride on the bull to cap the night off. Everyone had a blast. The only argument I have is on the pour. They've got an electronic device that goes on the bottle to make sure it's a single shot pour. I get it from the business owners standpoint but from the consumers view it looks like you're getting shorted. read more

I LOVE crazy HORSE!!! I've only been there once, but it was the best place i went to in Chico thus far There is dancing, there is singing, there is dancing, there is BULL RIDING!! there are shots, there is pretty much everything you could ask for and i absolutely adore it. This is by far my favorite place in Chico and I'm definitely going back. If you haven't gone to Crazy horse, go now! and if you have, i'll join you there. Yee Haw! read more

I went here for my bday party with my friend (no names needed) I had a blast but my concern is the bartender are cranky it takes forever to get a drink and they told use only a 40 dollar limit for 5 people WOW really rode the bull that was fun set in chair that was fun but the drinks are a little lame there are more fruity then alcohol I got whiskey and coke that was okay dancing is fun and even with the customers waiting for ever there was still a lot of happiness read more

I came from out of town this weekend to Chico. We were in town for Oktoberfest and headed over to the Crazy Horse to "after party" it..The atmosphere was a lot of fun and we had a great time. My only complaint is that we left our bag with the guy up front with all of our Oktoberfest beer mugs and a Sierra Nevada shirt. After much drinking we obviousy forgot the bag. This was Friday night, went back up Sunday to retrieve the bag and we were given the bag with our four mugs but someone elses shirt. My assumption is that it obviously wasn't a customer who traded shirts, but it was appartently an employee who decided they wanted our Sierra Nevada shirt. My only complaint....just don't take anything with you that you don't want the staff taking ownership of without your consent.... but if you want someones stinky undershirt read more

Abhorrent bar service, hot bartenders, half decent music. If you're drunk enough, you won't care read more

Great bar for college students Love the activities run before bar night gets crazy, like the swing dancing! The bathrooms and sitting areas good be kept up a little bit nicer but overall good bar. Does get a little crowded 11 p.m. on the weekends with college students. read more

If you love paying a cover for racism and juice, this is the bar for you! The Crazy Horse is probably the worst bar in Chico. Meters on the bottles so their drinks are weak. High $$$ covers on most nights, and the music isn't good. Really big issue with racism both with the employees and clientele. Not to mention their extremely racist recent post calling the pandemic of Covid-19 the China flu and fake news. Yikes. Don't waste your time or money and support literally any of the other bars in Chico. read more

I've only been here really drunk but it was fun! There is a cover, and the riding the bull does cost money. But the environment is great! There's a shot chair and it the name says it all. The bar is one of a kind in chico and it makes me feel like i'm in the movie coyote ugly. read more

Pretty scummy place. Rude employees and ruder customers. I've had almost exclusively negative experiences every time I've come here.

Wednesday is the only night to come. I have been on other nights and it's just not worth it. Wednesday is buck night. Buck as in one dollar. There is no cover from 9p-10p so if you get there early enough you can have a real good time for a real good price! There are always tons of people and dancing going on. If buck night was every night, I would spend my life here. I guess I can settle for one night a week. read more

Ive been going here for years and I'm friends with the bartenders but one night I asked where Kevin was and apparently they fired him because of one stupid little thing that wasn't really his fault. This place isn't good to their employees . Kevin was the only decent person there and was fun robe around unlike others who have no facial expressions and are rude. I'm never going here again until he's back. read more

Went to this bar during my stay in Chico. It's a classic college bar. There's a mechanical bull and a big dance floor and organized dances. I was there the week that school had got out so there wasn't too many people there, but it wasn't empty, either. A couple people in my party left items there (sunglasses and an ID) and it the management at Crazy Horse Saloon was very helpful in getting the items returned. I was a little buzzed when I was there so this next part might not be totally accurate, but I was kind of annoyed that the bartender skipped over me while I was waiting to order drinks. Oh well, still a great bar. That mechanical bull is no joke! read more

I always felt uncomfortable in here. And now I know why. Please don't visit this place. Take your money elsewhere. No apologies from the manager about their disgusting post on Facebook. How sad. read more

Honestly guys a $3 cover charge really isn't that much... if $3 is gonna break the bank you shouldn't be out partying anyways. A group of friends and I headed here after going to three other bars (two of which charged a cover, soooo YES there are other bars in Chico that charge covers) We gladly paid our cover- the birthday girl got her special bracelet (redeemed for a free drink) and we headed upstairs to have ourselves a good time! I noticed that the bartenders are really not able to pour a stronger drink... they have measuring devices on the bottles that charge for EXACTLY one shot... no way of getting around it because they are wired to the register... so don't be bitchy to the bartenders because the owner is the one who is regulating the shots not them. Also noticed the place is loaded with security cameras... pointed AT the staff, hanging over the chair where they pour shots, pointed at the registers, etc. etc. etc. the girls dressed in chaps and a shirt tied under their boobs had to walk around peddling shots- I guess I was entirely too sober and way more observant than their average customer but I really felt bad for the employees- it is terrible to work in a place where the owner/manager clearly does not trust his staff nor does he make an effort to help them enjoy their job. The music was good, dancing was fun, the others in my group seemed to enjoy their drinks, I didn't step in puddles of vomit, my feet weren't sticking to the dance floor, and there weren't hoards of creepy old dudes which is RARE for a Chico bar- or any bar for that matter. Maybe we just got lucky and came on a good night, I dunno. Honestly we would have had a great time wherever we went, but I was glad to have gone to the Crazy Horse. read more

Only reason I'm giving two stars is because I really enjoy dancing here, I also have enjoyed watching my friends get thrown off the bull. So, why the awful rating? Prices and service. Minus the Dj, Dj was awesome. I've always heard rumors of them being cheap. I mean you hear that ALL the time at places like these, so I didn't think anything of it. Well I witness a bar tender make a drink and literally put a few DROPS of liquor into this "cocktail". Uhm, what? I will NOT be buying booze from here again. Staff is not friendly, haven't had many experiences with the crazy horse girls though, they may be nice, I don't know! But the bar staff, not so much. Want a bit cheaper booze and actually GET the booze your buying? Go to the bear(Madison Bear Garden). Insanely busy, but, it's got all the dancing and more(yummy food and unique drinks) And I've never been slighted nor ever seen someone get gipped either. Hoping I can come back with a different review that's stellar next time I swing through this place. But we shall see! If you don't want to drink, just wanna dance, or ride a bull? Definitely come here, awesome for that!! read more

I only recommend you go to the Crazy Horse if you enjoy being ripped off. The drinks are not only the weakest in town, but DOUBLE the price of the other places downtown. My friends have told me they have ordered Red Bull and were given an off-brand. When asked, the bartender said he was instructed by the owner to say it is Red Bull or he could look for a job elsewhere. If you are going to serve a knock off don't say it's Red Bull and charge the high price. There are laws that make this illegal but fraud and misleading advertising does not seem to bother this business owner. Don't bet the reason for the cover charge is because they have live entertainment. You will lose the bet. The place looks old and dumpy and badly needs a face lift., Even if you ask, as I did, if the place was busy upstairs, they won't give you an answer. So, you have to pay to find out you don't want to be there. I should have been smarter and read between the lines. No one hides the fact when they have a good crowd. So, if you climb the stairs, see the place deserted and climb back down, know you said "adios, tchau, sayonara and goodbye" to your money in less than 30 seconds. The old adage that one happy customer tells 3 friends and 1 unhappy customer tells 100 is true; hence, this post. The old manager was a friendly guy and made you feel welcomed. Now the owner, an older guy that is perfect caricature of an older guy trying to look young and hip, (and failing) plays the music and talks into the mike. He is clueless when it comes to customer service skills. The fact that people want him to shut up does not phase him at all. Perhaps he should go to another bar where he can get a stiff drink, mellow out a bit and realize that there is a right way and a wrong way to treat a patron. read more

This bar is typically an okay place to go on Wednesday nights. I went for buck night last night, and was having a decent time. I decided I needed some water, and waited in line at the bar. I waited about 20 minutes and when the bartender came up, he said, "there's water at the end of the bar." So we went and the water jug was empty. We waited in line again, and they didn't get to me. So I went to ANOTHER side of the bar, and asked the women for water, tried explaining what happened, and asked for the bartenders name who was rude at first and didn't give me water after waiting. She was VERY rude mumbled something about "being drunk" and then didn't say his name. So I asked again, and she just yelled "MATT." Don't know if that's his actual name, but I know what he looked like and know he should have just given me the water. I am disappointed with how rude both bartenders were. read more

I LOVE this place. First of all, it's huuuuuuuge! Granted they are like the only place with a cover in Chico, but it was $2 AND we got a free shot when we walked in. Well worth the $2. They have a big stage and dancing area, a mechanical bull, a hot seat where they can pour drinks in your mouth, and bartenders in chaps! We line danced all night and had a blast. I mean, you really don't get any better than this. The wild west Crazy Horse cowboy theme is amazing and if I'm ever back in Chico again, I will definitely hit up this bar. read more

You don't have the right to take someone's ID, without authorization, and scan it with a machine that uploads it to a database. I gave my ID to your bouncer to CHECK IT, not scan it. read more

This bar is disgusting, rivaled in nastiness only possible by the La Salle's bathroom. I've been to cleaner establishments in Tijuana. I'm not sure what the allure of the Horse is, maybe its the dancers, but its certainly not a place you want to go unless your mission is to get blackout drunk. Walking through the building around midnight and the floors will be sticky from spilled drinks and vomit. Taking a wiz and you use a horse troff. This pretty much sums up how you're viewed as a customer. Granted, you'll meet some really attractive women here, but not the kind you'd want to wake up to and have a conversation with. I've seen alcoholics, and then I've seen Crazy Horse regulars. Certain nights they play country music, but mostly its top 40 crap. The only thing country about it on those nights are the cowboy hats. This might explain why The Tackle Box was a much needed addition to Chico. Visit at your own peril, wait in ridiculous lines, get watered down drinks, smell of cigarettes and cheap tequila. Its worth the experience a few times I guess. But Chico regulars avoid that place like the plague. read more

Out off all the bars down town this was by far the worst! Not only did we all have to pay 5 bucks to get in, the drinks were super expensive! Also beware of using your debit card, they charge a fee and tax that they fail to mention before they take your card! They told me that 2 drinks and 2 shots were $20, but when I signed for my card it was $24, which they said was for the tax and the card charge! Plus the bartenders were not friendly!! It was just a really awkward experience and my friends and I will not be back! read more

Bad, bad experience, period. Last night was my friend's 25th birthday party and we went to several different bars. She was pretty set on riding the bull and dancing to some good country, so we headed over. The bull and the atmosphere are the only reasons why this place even gets 1 star-- the bar, the bartenders and staff, and the drinks were all really bad. It was not the exact date of her birthday, the actual date is on a Monday, but we were all able to celebrate last night, a Saturday night, so for our purposes it was last night. Because we were not there on her exact birthday they didn't give her free drinks. They did not let her ride the bull for free. They did not give her the birthday experience that so many bars like this usually do. I went to college in Santa Barbara and I have NEVER had an experience at the college bars there like this one-- they need to step it up a notch if Crazy Horse is going to remain in the bar scene here in Chico. Definitely not going back here again. I will end with an example: I brought her up to the bar, happy and excited that it's her big 2-5, I said "it's her birthday tonight, AND it's the big 2-5!" The female bartender looked at us dully and said "is it her birthday tonight?" We said no.. bla bla bla, but we're celebrating it tonight. She then said that her manager had to confirm it and we waited so long for the manager that it was awkward and I pulled out my credit card and was like here just get her a shot of jack on me. It's not a big deal. Apparently she thought I was being bitchy. She brought back a shot glass with literally 1/3 of a shot in it. Then she said it's a 20 dollar minimum on your credit card. WHAT?! Bad, bad experience. I said this is ridiculous! We are actually locals and you should never treat locals like this. I told her I'm not going to buy this 1/3 of a shot, especially if I ordered more for my other friends and they looked like this. So, my best friend and I turned around and walked away. Later on we had to order drinks from this girl again (she worked the far left side of the big bar, closest to the stairs out) and she had the audacity to say "I feel bad about that, but next time you should tell your friend to be nicer." So, to sum it up, bad service, bad drinks, and really really bad bar tenders. The guy bartenders were pretty rude, too. But, like others have said, if you're drunk enough you won't even care. read more

Eh... Well if you can get over the cover (for women), it is worth it to see drunkards falling from the electric bull. Sadly, that the drinks are a bit watered down. If that doesn't bother you, cool, just giving y'all the heads up. read more

I went in on Halloween with my girlfriend, shes from the area but I'm living in Sac. There's a door charge but its supposed to be a decent place for dancing and large crowds (Which seems true, they have a good spot in the middle) so she decided I should try it. Wednesday's are supposed to be buck night, and its posted right at the front where you can see from the guy checking ID's. We walked up the stairs and were greeted by the staff dressed like playmates, lingerie and corsets were most of the ladies costumes. Immediately after walking up those stairs and taking a look around you realize this is a bar that is selling the sexy look lol, which we appreciate but definitely sets the tone of the bar. After waiting 20+ minutes for the bartender to take our order, we were told that tonight was not a normal Wednesday because of Halloween and that it wasn't buck night, no Halloween specials and no door charge refund despite it not being posted anywhere. Okay sure understandable I suppose. So we order our drinks, which were terrible lol. They premix their Long Island liquors (Seriously premixed when you have a pouring system installed?) and you get mostly sour and soda. Seriously the worst Long Island I've ever consumed. I asked her what she had made me after seeing her pour what seemed like a single shot into a cup filled to the top with ice and then filling the rest with mixer, they use. She looked at me like an idiot and plainly said a long island. I literally could not taste the alcohol...In a Long Island Iced Tea lol. We found our sticky seats in the back next to the bull and appreciated peoples costumes and lack of costumes. This place is dark and dank. For the price of the liquor and having a door charge this place is pretty gross looking when you take a look around. Old TV's and speakers by the sounds and looks, stains galore and a very "I'm here to get laid" vibe lol. The bartenders and staff are constantly on their phones and taking pictures which isnt a huge deal...unless the place is busy lol. But in the end you're better off going across the street or to the bear, where you can taste the alcohol in your drinks lol. But if you want a run down looking bar with expensive drinks and a decent chance at getting laid lol, this is the place for you. read more

I always take people to CHS that have never been to Chico. Mainly for the mechanical bull and the waitresses/dancers. Usually a very mixed crowd from Cowboys to Guidos.The drinks are a bit steep and I hate paying a cover charge! Can get pretty crowded on weekends, but you can hear crickets chirping on the weekdays. Yee Ha! read more

They were pretty lame about the cover charge, despite us bringing in a big group and offering no sort of wiggle room whatsoever. Come and find out there's a check in offer on Yelp (despite us being told that NOTHING can be done to reduce the cover). Trust Yelp, it'll take care of you better than Crazy Horse. read more

Ugh this place.... Fun the first time we went but last time the drinks were SO watered down and nasty. We were there all night and didn't have the slightest buzz after a ton of drinks when we left. Music/dancing was good and that was about it. Definitely an overhyped college bar for those who don't know better read more

This place is Klassy for Chico...It is always well maintained and the music is always pumping...yeah, the cover charge is not super duper, but for a cleaner well maintained club it is worth it. I have seen many friends fall off the bull here...I am sure you can find a gal here who thinks your tractor is sexy. read more

They have lots of things to draw your attention a dance floor, bull ride, kamikaze chair, pool tables and of course the Crazy Horse dancers. There's a main bar with 4 speed wells, a side bar with 1 speed well and no beer on tap, a bottled beer counter as you walk in, a patio window with 1 speed well and a couple beers on tap, I believe. they even have a couple cocktail waitresses and a kamikaze shot girl walking around so you shouldn't have any problem getting a drink even on the busiest of nights (Wednesdays). I had a bad experience with one of the bartenders (Peter), incorrect change given and a overly intimidating bouncer so I'd recommend going to one of their attractive female bartenders and avoid having any reason to deal with the bouncers. There policy when a manager is asked for might need to get tweaked, it could cause some confusion. The urine trough in the men's bathroom coupled with how narrow it is makes for a very uncomfortable piss, there's no wonder the bathroom floor seems to get covered with it. The patio is nice, if you happen to smoke. I don't so it's kind of a negative when some of it starts to drift inside. It's the only place to be on a Wednesday night and It's defiantly a place to poke your head into on the weekend to see it anything is going on. read more

Really fun!! We rode the bull and had a blast! They even gave a delicious free drink to my friend for her birthday!!
