Judy's Wild Wrangler Saloon is a true gem nestled beyond the city bustle, exuding the authentic spirit of an old honky-tonk bar. Stepping inside feels like a journey back to the days my grandfather vividly recounted. This place is a sanctuary where the heart of country music thrives, away from the glitz and glamor, inviting those seeking genuine moments over selfies and trendy drinks. As the lyrics perfectly encapsulate, it's "out in the country past the city limits sign," where this honky-tonk near the county line comes alive. The atmosphere ignites as the sun dips, welcoming a vibrant mix of whiskey, women, music, and that characteristic haze of smoke. It's the hub where cowboy folk gather for the boot-scootin' boogie, preserving the essence of a bygone era. Judy's is where hardworking souls, just like myself, find solace after a day's toil. When the clock strikes quitting time, there's an unspoken pull to this haven. The lyrics resonate--firing up the pickup truck, feeling the freedom on that highway, racing toward that hideaway nestled among the woods. It's where the boot-scootin' boogie thrives, where stories unravel, and where memories are etched into the very fabric of this time-honored establishment. Judy's Wild Wrangler Saloon isn't just a bar; it's a living, breathing testament to authenticity, embodying the roots of country music and the cowboy way of life. If you're yearning for a genuine honky-tonk experience, look no further--Judy's is the place where tradition meets the timeless allure of the boot-scootin' boogie. So come on down to this honky tonk. You buy me a shot of whiskey and I'll buy you a beer! read more

My favorite place. Love playing darts and having a blast. Great safe place! Great drinks and lots of fun.

We were traveling down Midway Road when we happened upon this place. I'd been here many years ago. I was happy to find it again! What we encountered inside was less than stellar. The place was clean, however the lady bartender obviously didn't enjoy her job or wish to be working on a Saturday. Not one smile or a bit of kindness. It seemed like we were a burden to her. I asked her where the ladies room was. No answer. That's fine. I'll find it in my own... In this day and age where jobs are hard to come by, you'd think she'd have put a bit more effort into hers. Oh well. read more

Bartenders are great specially at night, small outside back patio for smoking and gatherings with their large parking lot available for overnight car storage to get home safe. Shots are good for the price you pay. Always a good crowd and easy to leave right off 505 or I-80. A remote bar on the outskirts of Vacaville with nothing but great ambiance open 365 days of the year that never closes. Accepting of anyone and everyone. If you're looking for a fun bar Judy's wild wrangler saloon is the place to be! (PSA: No Kitchen) read more

Judy's Wild Wrangler Saloon - a man and woman posing for a picture - Dive Bars Near Me - Vacaville, California

Moved to the area recently and I've been looking for a good dive bar, this joint definitely fit the bill! They got billiards, shuffleboard, darts, and karaoke to boot. Bartenders are attentive and quick. Social interaction takes precedence over atmosphere. Good times. Some of the negative reviewers must be really self-conscious about their own appearance or something. Yes it's mostly a "country" crowd, but they aren't gonna bite you. I am a hippie type and my wife is Hispanic. Everyone we talked to was cool to us. Just drink your juice and chill out, this isn't high school with cliques and stuff. read more

September 10,2022 @ 12:30. As a Service Connected Disabled Veteran I have a service dog. Both my dog (wearing the proper ID & vest) and myself have federal identification acknowledging the "Full Access Service Animal" I've been stopping here for years, when I'm in the area with no issues. **Until yesterday, the female bartender refused to serve me, she refused to acknowledge the ID's, very rude stating "I don't care and not going to serve you until you take the dog out!" She also refused to call the owner or management. I then requested she call the S.O. or Vacaville PD which she again refused! Clear and blatant ADA violations. Not to mention the disrespect for a veteran. Still trying to contact the owner or management but no luck. One more attempt before filing an ADA complaint. read more

We came here to support a friend's dad's band that was playing. So, how would I describe this place... Let's start by saying that we were the one car in the lot that wasn't a big ass truck. The crowd lacked... umm... diversity. Definitely saw a few red hats. Inside, the place has a large "hall" type setup - area for the bands to play, dancing, pool tables, a shuffle board setup. Bar at the other end. Bar is cash only. The dancing was... something. Old guy in cowboy hat / boots getting low, drunk ladies yelling "pants off dance off!" at the band, some line dancing (with about 2-3 people in the line). The place was excited when "Sweet Home Alabama" was played, or the latest Jason Aldean song. The bartenders were kind of rude - basically didn't want to serve anyone. I got dirty looks and an attitude when I got the drinks, but at least they were cheap? Really not my scene. It reminded me of the film "Road House", and not in a fun way. Two stars are for the band, otherwise I'd avoid this place. read more

Wonderful divebar (classic), good clientele, good staff, especially Shannon and Tracy. Nice safe bar, will take care of you and watch out for you. People are friendly and will talk to you. Again your classic dive bar. Looking for old school this is the place. read more

A fun place to go. The bands are usually good too. I think they need another or even 2 extra bartenders on band nights though. You get your drinks but it takes a long time. Otherwise it's great read more

Worn down, crappy drinks and not the friendliest staff. Not prepared for groups. A rough looking group of people here and reports of females being treated badly if alone. read more

LoVe Judy's!! It's a great place to go and feel safe!! Bartenders are AWESOME making yummy affordable drinks!! The bouncers are also AMAZING!! Everyone their Makes you feel like a friend! Friday night Karaoke is a personal favorite!! read more

Just off the 505 a few miles down the road from the big Budweiser plant, the Mariana fruit packer (formerly of San Jose) and the fancy new Genetech bio-tech campus is Judy's Wild Wrangler Saloon. This place is a hold out of the wild west saloons of yesteryear. I went in fully expecting the biker scene out of Pee-Wee Herman's movie, but alas it was a tamer crowd. The bar tender is loud and friendly. My guess is that she's Judy and owns the place! read more

Judy's Wild Wrangler Saloon - Last of the Wild West Saloons - Dive Bars Near Me - Vacaville, California

I'm not a drinker and don't go to bars except for events. Coming to this one was no exception but was an exception. It's very well set up with a good sized dance floor and stage with a couple of pool tables a huge outdoor area and the staff at the bar were friendly. I came for an event of 60+ people and there was still a lot of room on the patio for everyone though it did get loud. The place was cleaner then most of the bars i have been in before. read more

What can I say The women working there are nice..the band was cool . I went last weekend for my birthday my girlfriend and I decided to play pool this very inebriated drunk who stunk like vomit came up to me and said would you like to be humiliated which has many horrible meanings.. he tossed almost $200 on the table one of the women that work there picked it up and stuck in her bra and split it with everyone..They kick the guy out momentarily but then let him back in all I have to say is God bless the fact that my friends are all former military weren't there I wouldn't have not been pretty... I do have to say I've been to many dive bars I'm 55 and I even work on site inside a prison hooking up death row inmates.. and I've been treated better than this.. If I were the owner of the bar or the management I would profusely apologize and make good of it obviously no one did read more

This is a good bar. There is clearly a "regular" crowd. It does have a country atmosphere to it. The beer selection is average-to-above-average, I'd say. I would warn that Midway Road is treacherous where it crosses 505--be careful around the off ramps. Visibility is poor and many of the drivers drive very fast. There's pool and other game activities. This place is loud so if that's an issue for you, be forewarned. So I won't be a "regular" here but I will return from time to time. read more

These bartenders are rude! If you aren't a local, they refuse to talk to you. They over pour every drink and the bar is losing money! I've literally never seen such rude bartenders. Lots of lineman from the RV park, and they make it know we aren't welcome. Too bad, linemen like to drink beer and tip well! They are missing out on some good tips! read more

I like Judys. Especially on Friday nights. There is kareoke with a dj. They also have well drinks at affordable prices.

Don't come here expecting the Ritz-Carlton Bar experience. It's a Dive Bar with the Vibe and drink prices of one. Bartenders are nice if you get to know them. Don't be rude and tip them well as the drinks are poured strong. The patrons are a mix of normal people stopping by after work to a Sons of Anarchy biker bar. So check your attitude at the door and have a fun time shooting some pool while having a few drinks. read more

I have been visiting Judy's since the 90's...several..more than 40+ times in the past.. of course over many years.. Lately, I have notice a different crowd of folk that are not as "FRIENDLY" .. Nov 17th, 2018 ..Michelle Rockdaschel .. A cocktail waitress instigated an incident, which witnesses agree, asking for a glass of water resulted in getting my fingers broken and an attempted choking out by her 30 something year old friend, including concussion and face rubbed in ground!! read more

Went here after a friends engagement party to continue the celebration. First off it's located in the middle of nowhere! This added to the "country" feel as we were transported back in time. We were definitely "outsiders" as a lot of locals were at the bar looking at us often. There was one bartender who would disappear and reappear randomly. It's a large place with pool tables, a shuffle board and darts to play. However, shuffle board and darts weren't available because it was 5pm and a band was coming on at 9pm what?!! read more

This is a great bar to come to we accept everybody that comes in. But don't expect us to take no crap. You get what you give. We are a staff that will be your best friend. But if you give a s*** don't expect us to be nice. we don't water down any of our alcohol like some have said on here. The staff did not instigate fight like some people have said on here. We are a country bar who loves people to come out and enjoy themselves. But if you come out to cause a problem will be on your ass read more

I'm guessing you'd have to be a local to appreciate this place,.... from its eclectic clientele , to its 1970s rustic decor. This is the kind of place Toby Keith sings about. It definitely has a roadhouse kinda vibe. The bartenders can seem a bit stern, if you don't know them, but they are always on top of their game, no matter how busy they get. I love em all! When Terry Sheets performs there on a Saturday night, that place gets jumpin'! They get a range of great "Country Music talent on most Saturdays. "I Love This Bar"...... read more

Check out their live bands! You wouldn't expect a bar out in the middle of nowhere to get such talent, but they do! Stiff drinks, friendly people, in a dive bar= fun times for adventuresome people! They need a website to list the bands playing! read more

I can unequivocally confirm that they fill the Grey Goose bottle with whatever the cheapest vodka on earth is. Really, what is this place doing even pretending to serve Grey Goose in the first place? When I asked my friend to taste how bad the vodka and cranberry was, some toothless, inbred drunk grabbed it, slurped out of it and said, "yep, that definitely tastes more like vodka and asshole!" I shouldn't have expected anything less, coming here because we thought it was going to be funny. read more
