The Saddle Room Bar

Best bar ever! Been coming here ever since I turned 21. Tuesday Thursday and Saturday is Sammy night. Best bartender ever #sammy

Great and reasonably priced drinks, friendly bartenders and a welcoming crowd. Can’t ask much more of a local bar.

This place is great for an after work beer and some tunes. Bartender and crowd is friendly too :)

Local watering hole. It’s a dive bar. Set expectations accordingly.
The crowd morphs throughout the day. Working crowd during happy hour and the younger crowd after 10. Has a back patio on asphalt that has a few tvs. Plenty of tvs inside and out. Probably the cheapest mixed drinks in the zip code.
People are laid back with little attitude. Bar is relatively small and maybe holds 20ish.

The bartender, Sam, was über awesome… I loved him. Bob, my neighbor at the bar was super fantastic as well!

Bartender A+. Well dressed and good customer service. Well done sir!!!

For those who are new to this place, be ready for the drinks!!! Not your typical little splash of vodka and cranberry. They know people are there to drink, so they will make sure to take away that thirst your craving. Picture this, your at a bar downtown and get vodka/​cranberry. At Saddle Room you will get double the liquor for half price. If you tired of hitting the clubs and just want to enjoy good drinks with friends, this is the place to be. It is all cash, hence why prices are cheaper. With 15 – 20 bucks you will need a ride. Cheers

Awesome bar! I finally decided to give this neighborhood bar a shot. It is within walking distance to my house and I really didn’t know what to expect. I came on Friday night and it was fabulous. The inside bar is smaller and it was pretty packed, but the bartenders are quick and nice. I was able to get a drink quickly. The prices are cheap (well drink was 3.75). The outside patio really made this place awesome. There are multiple TVs, heaters, and it is covered. Overall, this place was perfect for a night out with my friends. I will definitely return and I would recommend it to anyone.
P.S Cash only bar!!!

I went here to watch the CAA basketball championship as it is close to my class after. It has a great vibe and the bartender and crowd were exceptionally kind and welcoming. I live an hour away but am looking for excuses to return!

Ok I love it here. We get drinks and they are ON it. Mike filled the propane in the outside heater BEFORE it totally died. Great bar tenders great prices

Well this is a local joint that has been there for like a hundred years. I am not always thrilled to go here, but it’s the closest place to my house so I find myself there. I miss San Francisco Livin! But this will do for a cold draft and chat with some bar mates. Dartboard and Jut box and BTW you can get rid of Sammy ASAP

I don’t know about all the bad reviews. It’s your typical dive bar! Great drinks at great prices! Sure, some of the people are weird, but nice and tolerant of outsiders!

Ridiculously strong drinks at more than ridiculously low prices and friendly local crowd that welcomes people from out of town. Good find, I’ll be back!

When I need to meet a friend or two to talk and drink, this is one of my top spots. Low cost, high proof, easy in/​out, not too loud. Especially like bringing people who haven’t been here before. Like many other reviewers, I’ve run up & down Woodside road for decades and never noticed the place until my Unilocal search. Kinda like another favorite, Mervyn’s Lounge, for those of you in Mt. View.
Now couple the Saddle Room with another winner, Chuck’s Donuts, down the road and we have a happy couple!

Hmm… I love a good dive just like the next person, but for some reason I get more of a sketch vibe from The Saddle Room as opposed to a fun loving laid back atmosphere I generally associate with dives.
Not sure if this was because the last time I was here I rolled in with 4 of my cutest girl friends (no dudes, ie: loads of boozers and creepers staring without reservation), or if I’ve just grown up in the area and always have viewed the saddle room as being extra seedy. Either way, I’m not opposed to dropping in again for a drink… maybe next time with the bf in tow!

…Crickets! That’s about all you’re gonna get around here!
Haha, it can get pretty bad at times, a lot of drunks during the day but by night it occasionally turns into a chill spot to get some cheap drinks. Bartenders are chill and friendly (Sam & Bob) and look out after the best for all in the bar. Everyone is friendly and knows each other somewhat.
Setting: Indoor and outdoor. The latter includes a heater as well as additional benches for patrons to take a seat at. Also, a second bar outside although I can’t remember the last time it was open, honestly.
Out of towners usually get a weird vibe because it appears to be an avg dive bar but it can be chill at times. If it’s your first time check it out with a few friends, guys and girls because chances are if you roll deep with women you’ll get hit on and guys will try to pick up who are mostly in their 30−40s.
Welp, Enjoy!

Sam makes a mean Scooby Snack in a jiffy!!! Definetely has neighborhood bar appeal without the ‘hood…
Friendly patrons and drama free environment for all age groups.

Stiff, cheap drinks?! Hell yeah, I’m there!
I would have never discovered Saddle Room if it wasn’t for my friend who is a local Redwood City resident. $ 3 for a stiff Kettle Tonics? How can I turn that down. I just wish the bar accepted card.
My friends and I always end up coming here for a «couple» drinks (of course, a couple always turn into 5 or 6). At the end of the night you’ll catch us singing and dancing to our favorite songs on the jukebox. Compared to most other divebars in the area, the crowd is a little younger.

I’ve been coming to the Saddle Room for probably 16 years. It’s your usual neighborhood dive but its more than that. They have two electronic dart boards and an internet juke box. The drinks are stiff and cheap, they have a great big patio in the back for smoking and hanging out. I think some nights during the week they have $ 5 dinners and they’re always doing dart tournaments or something else cool. I love Sammy, even though he’s always an ass to me (because he loves me), Bobby I’ve known for years and gives the greatest bear hugs ever, Chris the owner is awesome and we go way back. I’ll keep coming here as long as I can keep drinking LOL. It’s just a short walk from my house so its perfect.

OK I’m bumping this review up to five stars. This has become a favorite spot for me and my hubby to go to, now that we’ve discovered they have dice cups and Liars Dice has officially replaced our obsession with UNO: D. We went in last night and bartender Bob wasn’t working, but he was there and actually helped bring us an extra chair so me and my husband could sit together. That was so sweet of him. A few weeks ago when he was bartending, he gave us a bunch of tips on how to properly play the game (apparently we’d been doing it wrong!). We also really like Sam a lot. And I’ve become a fan of Ellie the barback, who was working last night and had to tell a bunch of chicks you can’t hog the bathroom and lock other people out. You go, girl.
One thing I love about this place is, I think they could probably give less of a shit if I’m writing this review or not. They LIKE being a dive bar, and the less people that come in and review ‘em, the better. But I just had to put my two cents in. If you get Sam or Bob, please tip ‘em well, they’re hard working guys who deserve it.
