Saddlebags was unlike anything I ever expected. I knew it was a place where people went to line dance, but I really didn't think it was going to be as fun as it was. It was one of my friends birthday and she said she wanted to go out dancing. She has frequented this location by herself on several occasions, so she reassured us it would be fun. So a few of us headed out on a Friday night and after a $10 cover charge, we line danced the rest of the night. None of us had any idea what the heck we were doing, but after a few drinks and shots, we just followed along with the crowd. We had a really great time and all of us can't wait to return soon. The drinks were pretty reasonable and they offered food, I didn't have any but I did notice a booth serving food. I also, thought it was really cool how the security guards got into it and were dancing right along. read more

From a suggestion of a friend I decided to try their wings at the walk up order window that they've established on the side of the building! The wings had a great flavor but they were overcooked to the point that some portions of the meat was dried out and hard! Also, I lost my receipt so I emailed them twice and called to try and get a copy for my expense report but no one answered and no one responded to the email! It's horribly run operation and I wouldn't ever go there again! read more

Cover charge was $5. They have a good booth inside and a food window outside. Security checks ID and bags. White claws are $8. I ordered the peach. High noon they have by the case, black cherry looked popular. They have a mechanical bull and a nice loud music vibe. Great for groups and it's lively. Basic place but fun. read more

While my time spent at Saddle Bags was quick, I loved it! Popped in to line dance for a few minutes and knew the dances to the first 3 songs played. Staff was nice and the $5 cover was reasonable. Seemed like a fun spot to dance and drink! read more

The woman working the door on st pattys day weekend was extremely solicitous and pushy when asking for a tip on an $11 cover. I appreciate all the work food/bev workers (I am also one!) especially those working on holiday weekends of course. But this was just over the top expecting tip and being rude for not leaving extra before stepping in the door. She proceeded to rudely slap my bracelet on my wrist after seeing I didn't go back and put a tip in. Will not come back read more

We went here on a Friday with a bachelorette party around 8pm. It wasn't crowded, but by the time we left around 10pm, the place was rocking. Be aware there may be a line getting in. There was fun music and the DJ does a great job keeping the room going. Brides ride the bull free, but they really need to get a new bull because what they have is not in good shape. read more

Saddle Bags - Bull ride - Southern Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Had a friend from out of town want to go out downtown Savannah. We went to Saddle bags around 11:30. We are both previous bartenders in night clubs for over 14 years, my friend was helping with clearing some cups and bottles that had been left on the bar and put them into a trash can, a security guy came and got up in his face for putting them in the trash can because a few fell on the floor because it was over flowing with trash. He showed up with 4 other security guys too kick him out. Not a good way to treat your customers when he was just trying to help....... read more

It's an ok place to hang out and enjoy some entertainment with friends. Although this turned out to be a nightclub, I thought it was gonna be a country club music scene. read more

Had a blast at Saddle Bags! The door girls were super sweet and welcoming, great first impression. Inside it is high energy with music, a dance floor, and a mechanical bull if you're feeling brave. Drinks were cheap, staff was quick, and the crowd was fun. Great spot if you're looking to dance, laugh, and have a good time in Savannah! read more

I am not one to complain nor EVER write a review,but I left this place HAVING to get out of the sketchy environment. I had to leave bawling at what occured with me. Leaving my friends, and getting air was the best decision. Mind you I was responsible, sober drinking redbull or water. I ordered food inside their bar. During this time, two others made orders. I am the only doritos locos order. I spoke with the man taking my order three times and stood very close because a creepy man kept awkwardly cat calling me with no one doing a thing. The restraunt is right beside the womens bathroom. My friend and another woman obviously have a "wtf is going on" look. Out of all the bar top, a grown man was sent to come into the bathroom, and we simply asked what was going on and he did not make eye contact and left quickly and concerningly. We all felt VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. I am still waiting on a doritos...$12 bag..so I can eat on my way home. 20 minutes... I'm waiting literally there. I could not get my order because I did not have my ticket. Somehow..I had all my things but not that ticket. I did not argue with him,but I was baffled. I said I had order 311. Doritos locos. Can't we check the card...MIND YOU THEY HAD 4 OR 5 ORDERS AFTER ME. Not insanely busy, knowing my order has been SITTING. I'd though he'd hand it to me. So I paid for food and was denied, not even offered to review my charges. I could literally show a bank statement from 20 something minutes ago. I was standing there you know thinking he'd hand it to you..I'm literally that close you guys. The reason I write this is because after the situation occured in the bathroom, I felt the need to atleast ask him if he saw it because obviously he had to. Just wanting to help and speak the someone staff wise just in case.. He just said.."He is head of security it's fine." Well when I tried to get simply what I ordered. He proceeded to snap at me for no reason. I already paid for an overpriced bag of chips dude. I'm not going to argue with you. Just let me get my order..so lesson 1. Ladies, be careful. 2. Have your "ticket" for food.. read more

Worst bar I've ever been to. If you want creepy bouncers and weak ass drinks go here.

Bar has potential to be the best bar in Savannah, but the DJ absolutely sucks plays the same playlist every single night and cannot read a room! read more

Great country bar. Nice spot for live music. The bill is a great touch and having two bars at both ends allow for easy drink purchases. The staff was friendly and helpful. Great spot to enjoy country music and dancing. read more

Had a great time here. They do line dancing so so fun to join even if you have no clue what you're doing and stepping on people's feet. No ones judging. The bathroom situation is very strange. The mens room is right off the dance floor. You have to walk all the way around the bar for the womens. And the sign isn't very big. So you could walk into the mens room without noticing. And then I had to ask where the womens room was because try looking for it on your own. Good luck. read more

Nasty and run down. Very bad area surrounding this place too, so be careful. The only positive aspect was the alcohol tasted like it's supposed to. Good luck. read more

They will take your card, say it's lost, and then kick you out. Cash only if you want to avoid their card trap they have going on.

Don't love that the security team was hand-picking women from the line out front to venmo him for discounted entry and cut the line.... I guess that's what you can expect from Saddlebags read more

We had a great time here on a Saturday night from the time we walked in the door--the guy checking IDs was cracking jokes and made us all feel welcomed. $5 to get in and $5 to take your turn on the mechanical bull! I didn't do the bull--none of us did. Maybe next time. They were serving my fave, Angry Orchard on tap, nice and cold and in a big cup. Add a shot of Fireball to it and YUM. They were doing some country line dancing as well as playing some Hip Hop and Pop faves. Had a blast dancing to "Footloose"! Huge dance floor, great music and cold drinks. What more could you ask for?! read more

Pretty big bar on river street! It was on my list to visit as a great country bar. I saw they were having a silent disco night so I stopped by then. This night was not country music at all. Which is fine, I love every genre out there. It was pretty empty -- which I also equate to it being a Sunday. Other than that nice space, cheap drinks! So if you're there for country just double check the events! read more

This was such a fun place to go!!!! We went with a bunch of friends and sadly I didn't get any pictures only because it was so crowed and loud! But I had no idea they had a bull riding ride there!!! You can only go once but some ladies ended up going multiple times which kinda caused problems. Other than that we had a great experience. The bartender did a great job of serving everyone even though she was slammed. The beer was actually reasonably priced compared to other bars. I would recommend this place if you need a new place to hang with your friends. Would go back in a heart beat! read more

Good vibe and good people but $20 cover charge is kind of crazy. I'm from out of state on vacation and a cover like that does not entice me to buy many drinks or let alone stay for long. There is a rooftop club across the street that charges a $10 cover, better view, and more upbeat. Nice square dancing bar but needs to lower the cover. read more

Not NOT Impressed......Country Bar with not really much Country music?? Charging at door to gain entrance into a halfass bar?? Very messy and disorganized plus door entry personal less than professional or cordial....we had a large work group and they couldn't get our orders right and for some reason they couldn't combine any food orders with liquor tab?? That's odd...?? Anyways we left since they couldn't accommodate us and we went elsewhere for fun etc... then mistakenly a few of us came back bcuz someone wanted to ride the bull...."lame" then the final call came and the lights were abruptly turned on full brights!! Then the unthinkable and unbelievable happened....the door bouncers (2 Came Onto The Floor) Screaming and Yelling "Get Out" ..."Get The F*ck Out" repeatedly at the top of their lungs to the masses of paying patron's?? Totally Unprofessional and Ridiculous!! I mean...this is on River Street and a main tourist destination?? What a damn Joke! I'm NOT a Country fan at all but hot damn this is plain shameful as a establishment! I'll Never-Ever go back to this place even if I had a gift card or paid for invitation!! I'll take a long "Passsssssssss"!!! read more

!!!!! STAFF ASSAULTS WOMEN !!!! I was standing in a corner taking a video of my friend dancing when a man who worked here groped me (a big grab and squeeze) and proceeded to say 'you backed into my hand' when I turned around - THIS WAS NO ACCIDENT. A completely random person next to me saw the whole thing and stood up for me as well. Despite having a video of it happening and a stranger witness it - the staff didn't care / didn't believe me and kicked our entire bachelorette party out. Pathetic and disgusting. Wish I could get my money back. At the very least, be careful here ladies. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Came highly recommended. Except for the racist bartender in the back who was not only drunk while working, but also racist and called our friends rude names. My black friend had to "pay" for girls drinks and assumed that we were with them. We were not. Do not go to this bar if you want a nice, civil experience.Thoroughly disappointed in the racist staff and I hope this changes peoples' minds who support this bar. read more

Absolutely wild the short manager yelled at me for not wanting to hug her. She tried to hug me when we were outside and she what seemed to be intoxicated and got upset at the fact I was not comfortable with that interaction. Do not go read more

Probably the worst country bar I've ever been to, the DJ is a creep. Calls girls out on the dance floor, just gross. And after 10 they only play hip hop. Don't come here to two step or swing. People spill their drinks everywhere. Worst place in the area. I'd rather dance in my living room. read more

Fun bar tucked away at the end of river street. This place i want to say is 18+ which is nice especially when soldiers are looking for a place to hang after hours. They have a pool table, you can ride a mechanical bull and then there's also a dance floor. They serve drinks as well as your typical bar food. Staff is friendly and this is a fun place for a good night out. read more

I've been dancing for 12 years now, and worked at a country bar for 4 years and this bar overall was good. The Bar The bar staff was quick with making drinks and remembered what I ordered every time so it made it go by faster. Music They played and overall good mix of music. So even if country isn't your thing give it time and a song you like may come on. Dance floor Good size dance floor BUTTTT people who don't dance linger on the dance floor and for people who drove 3 hours (me and my dance partner) to dance they most definitely get in the way! The bar should not allow people to just stand on the dance floor!!!!! I do have one HUGEEE CON about this place!! THEY ALLOW DRINKS ON THE DANCE FLOOR! It ruins the floor, ruins dancers boots and most importantly it's dangerous to fellow dancers. read more

We never got to make it through the door. I went to hand the bouncer my very real ID bc im 21 about to be 22 next month. I'm from Michigan so as soon as he saw my ID he goes "5'08? yeah this is a fake ID" LMAOOOOOO like thats my height but alright. He goes to "show someone my ID for approval" bur when he came back i was denied. My step sisters try to show him their ID's since they also have their height on it and the bouncer just goes "sorry darlin" LMAOO. Coulda went worse but tbh I was not about to fight w a man who clearly has ego problems since he didnt let any of us in, just for our height LMAOOO. I wasnt pressed about missing out on some dusty bull, but was definitely annoyed since that was the first place in Savannah to deny me like that. read more

We got charged a 20$ cover because a barely popular country singer was playing. We ordered cran vodkas, and 2 of us got charged $7 for nothing but cranberry juice. I spoke to a bar tender who said "oh the cranberry just flows out like that, we can't fix it." Let me tell you I know what a cran vodka tastes like and this was straight cranberry juice. I told the bar tender my friend had gotten a cran vodka that looked and tasted like it had vodka in it. He ignored me. Would not recommend. This place sucks and over charges you for juice and then denies not having put alcohol in it. A must SKIP! read more

Saturday night, from six until ten, dead, so we left. Music didn't start until after 11. A mechanical bull doesn't jazz this place up. Boring, expensive, and rock music in a country music bar (which I liked, but, huh?). All steak and no sizzle. read more

I came here after another nearby bar had snapped my ID claiming it was "fake." I was visibly upset, and the bouncers went out of their way to make me feel better! Then I went inside and the girl at the front gave me a hug after seeing I was upset. I love when people go out of their way to be good humans, and the staff here went above and beyond! read more

The bouncer with the snake bite lip piercings is entirely unprofessional and rude. He treated our group like criminals for having a legal Tennessee issued ID (mind you we are all 26+ years old). I do understand he has to do his job and ensure the safety of the bar but the way in which he speaks to patrons is completely uncalled for. read more

Definitely a good time. The club next to this was just too much. Saddle Bags atmosphere was amazing, the people, the drinks, the employees, everything was awesome for the experience. An awesome date night location if you want to get away, or just come out and have a good time all night. I definitely recommend read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. The male bartender said the nastiest words ever to me because "I took too long to order". It was only 3 drinks I ordered total. Do not visit unless you want to be yelled at by a misogynistic d-bag. read more

Surprised this place even has three stars. I wish I could give it negative. The dumb biotch of a 'man' checking ID's at the front door took mine and my friends very real ID's. He hardly looked at them before deciding they were fake. After getting them checked by someone else he decided, "oh oopsie these are real", but didn't even apologize. So he gave 2/3 of them back, but not the third, then proceeded to verbally assault and scream at us when we tried to get the third ID back. Sorry you're not great at your job but no need to harass women about it. To top it off, he said that the guy in front of us had a fake or 'invalid' ID, but guess what? HE GAVE IT BACK!! Hmmm maybe he gave it back because he was a man? This bouncer was about 50, had tattoos, gray hair, a rather violent attitude and a pulsing forehead vein when he started yelling. Proceeded with caution and be prepared to feel violated, harassed, and belittled if you're a woman. read more

Some friends and I came here last weekend for a bachelorette party and had a great time! Good music and amazing drinks... Bama, the bartender was the best!! read more

Unprofessional bartenders that like to add to their own tip line. Strongly recommend avoiding this place.

Decent enough place for dancing. Really just a later night type place. A limited number of tables. $5 cover charge is bs considering there was no band. The liquor drinks I had were $7-$9. They violate Visa policy by charging transaction fees (a merchant can't charge fees on debit cards). Filed a complaint with Visa and you should too if they charge this bs fee to you! https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/surcharge-fees.html read more

I find Saddle Bags to be very hit or miss with me. I have had good experiences here, but the nights always seem to end in drama...I'm not sure if there is some ancient Indian high school underneath it's floorboards, exuding vibes best left at an underage party. Enter at your own risk! For all you Southwestern transplants, do not expect to find any two stepping on this dance floor...it's line dancing, to include hip-hop versions like the Cupid Shuffle or the Wobble, and maybe a cowboy or two who knows how to move. The drinks are good...I seem to recall them being fairly priced. The peach tea drink they have is delicious, but super sweet. Now, please allow me to rant for a second. Why, in the name of all that is holy, would you charge a cover for this place? ESPECIALLY for the ladies. Gents, I know, I'm being sexist, but SRSLY?! I think females should never be charged a cover. Don't worry, Saddle Bags, you let the ladies in for free and the fellas will come...they're here for the gentler sex...and booze. Hopefully they'll only have to pay for one of them...but don't make us girls suffer! We're bringing you income! You'll make back my lack of cover in girly drinks...promise! read more
