The blonde girl that was there for Halloween.... didn't event give me a second thought before asking if I needed anything after 20 mins. I let her know that I was a bartender and server for the past 10 years. She offered me a free drink from her negligence, and I accepted it. After I was leaving, she told a bundle of peeps that I was leaving without paying!
This, of course embarrassed me and made me come back in as people started stepping in front of me, preventing me from leaving.
She made me pay for the drink she insulted me with. I payed. She let me know that no matter how I was in there at The Sadler Rznch... I was nothing but a consumer.
I am upset about that, because I was out there to enjoy Halloween. I work 3 jobs. I made time to get this night off to enjoy one of my favorite holidays. I am hispanic and I was the only one that wasn't my race.
I am not saying that...that was the reason... but I can talk to other organizations about this, since I have video footage.

Been to some concerts at this establishment and it’s always a good time. We also have been around to Local’s which is also attached many times. Great time place with great staff and awesome environment. Highly recommend.

BEWARE!!!
My wife and I were down for the Memorial Day weekend visiting some friend that live on the island, Sadler Ranch was supposed to have some line dance lessons so we went over, thought it would be fun, we hadn’t been line dancing in year but do a lot back in 90s. We called prior to confirm. We hung out for a hour or so to wait to find they were NOT doing any lessons. So we decided to leave, no problem until I tried to pay the bill. I had started a tab thinking we would be there for a bit but had only had 2 beers and 2 mixed drinks but they took my AMEX to keep behind bar. When the bar tender gave me the bill, she had already run my card and didn’t provide an itemized receipt. I knew it wasn’t right and asked for an itemized receipt. They finally gave me one, but she immediately started involving who I assumed was the manager. They had in fact charged me for quite a few more drinks. The manager did say he would take them off. I again asked for an itemized receipt and he became combative. Said he took the drinks off , threw my AMEX back on the bar and told me to “get the Fu$& out of his bar”, he then came out behind the counter with a couple other thugs and escorted my wife, my friend’s wife and 2 United State Army Veterans out of the bar like we had done something wrong. (9:30) PM. We had had one drink each so none of us were out of line. Memorial Day Weekend. DON’T go there. BTW: I am 62 and have never been asked to leave any place for any reason. I think these guys are just thieves and this is probably their mode of operation. The more I thought about this it seems apparent that the manager must be in on the overcharging of drinks on client’s tabs. I really wish I had video taped this incident but of course I didn't think about it at the moment.

I didn't think this place could go more down hill than it was when we moved here a few years ago but ever since a shift in ownership it's really struggling. We were going for line dancing and two step but now it's a toss up if there's gonna be dancing at all or if there is it's really late and a lot of us come from a decent distance to attend. They can't keep staff, DJ or instructor, lost all the staff that had a loyal following that would show up on the regular. The bathroom they can't even be bothered to refill the soap, paper towels, or toilet paper. If you're looking for line dancing I'd recommend elsewhere unfortunately.

When we came across Sadler Ranch they were struggling to recover from the COVID restrictions but we could see the potential for it being a good regular country dancing place. The staff at the time were personable and the floor was well maintained. We had hoped to see it revive as everyone started relaxing a bit more. Sadly changes in upper management and staff have made it not worth our time to drive out there anymore. The staff has swapped out to less personable beings, social media is confusing as to whether or not there will be line dancing that one single Saturday night. And now I'm really glad we didn't do a lot of concerts because of people having issues getting refunds. The floor has also gotten quite sticky and gross because of improper care. Sad to say but we have to look elsewhere to go dancing down here.
I bought tickets for a concert (Ryan Montgomery) the show was canceled after many calls and emails I can not seem to get a refund .So don't buy tickets ahead !
Spent a great night here and saw Struggle Jennings. The atmosphere was great and the sound was good There was plenty of

I love this place! I look forward to every Saturday. The culture here is different... it's not people looking to get sloshed and hookup. People come here to genuinely have a good time and dance the night away. Mostly the 20-30s crowd but there are older folks that come and have a great time too. I love that Bethany teaches line dances the first couple hours. And I really do appreciate the rules- no drinks on the dance floor and if you're not dancing don't just stand around on the dance floor. Other places I've been it was a nasty hazard and nuisance. Here it's always clean - even the bathrooms. And no cover charge! And they have the best lemon drop shot I've ordered ? Overall a super fun place to spend your Saturday night. Family. ❤️

My wife and I visited this venue for a concert of a band we love here! We arrived when the doors opened and were promptly led inside by friendly hostesses. It was a very quick ticket scan for entry. This place is modern with a backwoods kinda vibe! The layout in front isn’t what I would call ideal, but there is plenty of space for the pool tables and dart boards in addition to there being high ceilings so you don’t feel like you’re being suffocated. In the concert area where the main bar is located the floors open up and there is plenty of space! There is a large enough dance floor and plenty of outdoor bench seating for the smokers, which is fairly quiet. The drinks weren’t overly priced, and they were satisfying pours. The sound system seemed to be clear and crisp for the band as well. Great venue

Good free line dance lessons
My husband and I went here with my brother and my sister-in-law for the first time a couple of weeks ago and we had so much fun! I hadn't had that much fun in a very long time we will be returning.
