I have had a good time here before but had a bad experience this past weekend with the guys working to door. Before entering they were patting everyone down which is fine but my dad, who was with me, happened to have a pocket knife that was a gift to him from his dad who has since passed away. It had a lot of value to him. He carries it every day and it slipped his mind that he even had it with him when we went out. The guy at the door kept the knife and told my dad he could get it back from him when we went to leave. When we went back to get the pocket knife he refused to give it back unless we have him some money. I couldn't believe this. After several heated exchanges he finally did give the knife back but I can't imagine how many people they do this too. They are crooks and I won't be returning after that experience and will be advising all friends and family that come to town not to go as well. read more

Seems to be a neat sports bar/ night club. I stopped in with a group on a Thursday night around 9pm and we were only people in bar for an hour or so. Good points .... They have a bull!!! Mechanical bull and big bar/dance floor. read more

Chris, Maddison, Phillip, Carrie, Kristen, Hayley and Laura are awesome. You will have a great time!

Good spot, although service can be slow at times. If they're busy, I'd skip it. Good atmosphere.

Awful!!!! You go to a country bar to hear country music--- WRONG! Ghetto dance music blasted most of the night. On Veterans Day ladies were allowed in free- Disabled vets and active military had to pay entry--DISGUSTING! Head bartender screamed for security when I questioned price of beer $6 ultra. I was thrown onto THUG Street ... I will NEVER return! read more

The worst place I've ever been in my life. We were vacationing with another couple walking in cute heels on the cobblestone roads from Savannah Smiles (which we enjoyed thoroughly) when we were told we were too "wasted" to get in! Yes we had a hard time walking on the horrible uneven roads but not because we were too intoxicated. I'm a mom of two looking for a good time but not anywhere wasted (had 2 beers from Smiles). I laughed thinking bouncer lil guy was joking and realized he was serious. So I stood on one leg and said I would pass a dui test and asked a cop to confirm which he did. They refused entry and I was beyond disgusted. We've been looking forward to enjoying a night there in a country bar to find out they were absolutely rude jerks. We had a blast elsewhere and got free drinks after we had a good laugh at the ignorance of Saddlebags. Other bars in the area said they enjoy trying to have power but I'm just disgusted they would treat a mother this way. Still in shock and never been denied entry ever. Wow read more

The bartenders were FABULOUS! We were being the tourist walking the river and walked in on Friday evening. Typcially we would have been dressed to hang at a bar but we stayed and enjoyed a great local country band and the drinks were wonderful. The guy at the door, though a CA Angels fan was nice to us even though we are die hard Texas Rangers fans. We had such a great time we stopped in our last night in town. We were greeted with a smile, yes there was a cover, but if you like country music and a bar that has more room than most in the are, this is the place to be. We had a great time and would recommend it read more

I was so excited to go to Saddlebags! My experience became dissatisfying very quickly. Laura, the "manager", brought my friend the wrong drink. Seriously no big deal. She corrected the issue but did it with clear frustration. I then ordered a beer, specifically asking for a bottle (this is standard for me). I almost always get sick with draft beer so I always specify bottled. I think it's important at this point to mention that I was 2 beers in (not highly intoxicated AT ALL). When Laura brought back a draft Michelob Ultra, I patiently waited for her to return so I could ask for the bottled beer I had ordered. When she was near I said "hey girl, I asked for a bottle". She responded with "no you didn't". I said "yes I did, I always ask for bottle". Her response was "you definitely didn't but fine". Coming from a customer service background, I was extremely frustrated. I understand that bartending in a busy environment can be stressful. Looking back I shouldn't have said anything but I did tell her "there really is no reason to be rude". Laura kicked me out after that. I would NEVER talk to a customer that way. Unfortunately, Laura was just as rude to me as she was to every other customer around me. I am so disappointed in my experience. I definitely recommend spending your money in a place that offers not only a good time but also good customer service. Saddle Bags unfortunately isn't the place for it. read more

My review is only about one thing and just to give people a heads up. I left my credit card at the bar on Friday night (July 11) and came back and got it on Saturday. By Monday there were 3 fraudulent charges on my card from Texas. It could be a complete coincidence, but it seems likely that two things were related. I'm not blaming management or criticizing the bar as a whole. You can't watch all your employees all the time and these things happen. I tried to get in touch with management but there is no email address and I haven't had time to call. I'd just be careful about leaving a card there. Otherwise the bar was fine. Has anyone else had this happen here? read more

Fun place over by the river. Drinks are not overpriced and the bartender was nice. Line dancing galore. Fun times!

I've visited many times to this place and most times its was very fun. But on a not so crowded day on Saturday Mar 15th we were there watching the mechanical bull. A women in her 50s was attempting to ride. She was small and struggled to get in the bull. A friend of mine attempted to help and was warned "ONLY ONE PERSON CAN BE IN THE BULL!" the whole crowd and even the frustrated women asked for her to be assisted up! after about 3-4 minutes of her attempting and failing to get on the bull she was nearly in tears and as she gave up I tried to give reassurance not to let it bother her that the staff was rude. That is the point she told me she was dying of cancer and didn't have much time left. I immediately confronted the operator who didn't care. I asked to speak to a manager and he refused to find one. People in the crowd were in tears, many going up and telling him how horrible it was! I then went to 2 other employees to find assistance who neither cared nor found me a manager. This is an absolute disgrace and its disgusting!!!!! Im ashamed to ever of spent my money at this establishment! read more

There were a few times at Saddle Bags where I was convinced that I'd lost it. But there were other times, I thought I was main-lining the secret truth of the universe. read more

We walk into the bar just after 5 pm and the bartender says that they are closed and they don't open till 6 pm even though online it said 4 pm and she said that was wrong. We came back just after 6 pm and she said they still aren't open ( even though her friend was in there drinking) but we could sit down all the while she is rolling her eyes at us and making horrible faces. I normally like this bar but after tonight and how horrible we were treated I would consider not coming back.. read more

From Macon, Ga and we were looking forward to a little Southern food and fun. Not sure how this place stays open....was NOT an enjoyable experience and will never go back read more

My husband is in the army and we go to saddlebags often. Tonight as we were trying to close out our tab a bartender told us that we had already closed out and someone had signed for our card. We waited and said neither of us had signed for our tab our received our card. The waitress was adamant and said that in all of her years of working she had never had this situation happen where she was in the wrong. As we stood there a few minutes later she came back with our card and said someone had signed for it. As my husband tried to clarify things and get our "customer receipt," we were yelled at by security and other staff of the bar about how they had difficulty understanding what it was my husband wanted. The head of security said everyone at the bar had had a long day and just wanted to go home and made it out to seem that my husband was asking something unreasonable. It had been a "long week" for everyone evolved, including my husband who is in the army and had come home after 2 weeks of training and myself who works in education our youth in the savannah area. As the wife of an army husband as well as a teacher I was horrified and beyond frustrated a5 the way my husband and I were treated. He serves our country and I work to serve our children. We are not ones to call attention to ourselves our cause drama but I was pushed to my limits after seeing how a soldier was treated after serving our country. Everyone faces days that are long and trying and want to go home but how many of us can say those long days contribute to the freedom of the American people. I am highly disgusted at the staff of Saddlebags in Savannah, GA. read more
