Santa Baby Bar at Stolen Saddle

We have been patrons of this holiday restaurant for the past three years and have observed a noticeable decline in food quality despite the unchanged décor. Although some staff members were exceptionally friendly, the onsite photographer displayed rude behavior when we requested a reprint due to the photo's darkness. The photographer insisted the photo was fine, but we had to pay an additional $10 to reprint or take the dark one for $20. After standing firm, she reluctantly provided a brighter photo for $20. Interestingly, a waitress took a better-quality photo of us on our iPhone. Advance booking is necessary due to long wait times, and the food is overpriced for its quality!

Sometimes it's hard to get in, you need a reservation. What a fun place to have a few drinks and celebrate the holidays. The decor is amazing, they have the best around here in Wrigleyville. The drinks were delicious, we all had a wonderful time. We will definitely be back next year.

Santa Baby Bar is a seasonal Bar Pop Up, they require reservations and from my experience it’s best to make reservations. You can dress in Xmas theme and bring the family, I would recommend day time being more appropriate for the children but I also saw children there at night as well. Parking can be tricky, as there is a garage adjacent to the building and also street parking. I’d also recommend the parking garage to be safe. BEWARE OF ATTENDANT AT THE FRONT DOOR WHO WAS CHARGING ANYWHERE FROM $50-$200 CASH TO GET INSIDE IF YOU HAD NO RESERVATIONS, I don’t like that he did that, it had somewhat of confusion standing around the front entrance. Overall it’s an experience and there are also several other themed bars on the same street that are nice as well.

They are strict on their reservations. Charged an additional 4% tax on the bill. Dined in on a slow Friday afternoon to celebrate my b-day and received a lovely birthday card! Food came out super fast and was very good. Loved the soft giant pretzel and pizza, they were my favorite! the holiday sliders were super cute. Don’t get the regular hot chocolate, not worth the $13!! Our waiter was a bit depressing, seemed unhappy to be there but others seemed to be kore lively and happier.

By far, the best Christmas atmosphere one could ever enjoy at/in a bar! I highly recommend!

Attended the Santa Bar with my best friend and we had a good time. Our server Miranda was nice and efficient. We got appetizers, drinks, and our entrees in a timely manner. Once we finished, we walked around and took pictures. The decorations are super pretty, and there are a lot of photo ops. Thanks!

If I could give it zero stars, I would. The man at the entrance as soon as we entered the place took us out in a rude and disrespectful way telling us that we could not enter without a reservation. He was not kind at all, because he could have explained to us how the establishment's service worked, which he did not do. Then we were waiting outside the place and he also told us that we couldn't be there. I would never try to go to this establishment again.

The man at the door was very rude, not professional or friendly, he pushed us out of the place and gave us no options to enter the bar, I wanted to visit this bar for a long time and I was very happy about it but this man completely ruined the experience of being able to enter, I do not recommend it. I do not recommend it at all.

It’s the most disgusting place that asks to go for God’s sake my boyfriend came up with the brilliant idea of going to this place on December 31 the bar opened at 7pm and the entrance was $100 per person it was $200 I entered me and my partner according to them it was because it’s December 31 ok we entered I sat at a table and calm millions of people began to enter that you couldn’t walk for God’s sake or breathe I went to the women’s bathroom and there was a huge line for God’s sake it took me more than 40 minutes in the Row of the bathroom when returning many people were even on the table that the drinks were turned how much the drinks cost $18 each drink ok the security did nothing my partner tells the boys please get off the table they have turned the drinks one of them apologizes and gets off the other takes out his finger and says offensive words which the security guard saw and did nothing because they are racist ok the boy continued offended and the security guard did nothing of so much provocation of the boy my partner begins to argue and comes The security and takes me and my partner out because as they were arguing after the guy got tired of provoking him and the security saw him and did not take measures that we calm at the table and the boys offending in the end who ended up outside ??? We at the table, don’t worry, the security are racist and they’re not fair

It’s not a quiet place, it’s not a safe place, security is not good, don’t go, you won’t be safe, go to other places if you want a quiet and safe environment, my advice
Here I show you the photos where I was at 7pm quiet at my table trying to spend a good New Year’s Eve but they don’t care they didn’t recommend this place

This was such a cute bar experience! I love that they have multi-levels of decorations/photo ops and themes which is perfect for including children. Kudos to our waitress, Tori! She and the greeter were both accommodating, attentive, and absolute dolls! We will definitely be back.

This place is definitely festive! The waitress was really nice. It was odd that she took payment as soon as the food was ordered, but it wasn't a problem. The food was just ok. The drinks tasted watered down so I wouldn't order them again. The most disappointing part was the upstairs, with more decorations/photo ops, was closed and we were not notified beforehand. We traveled quite a distance, and had we known it was closed, we would have came another day for us to get the full experience. The waitress suggested another visit which would be a cover charge or more money on food/drinks. It felt like a bit of a scheme that we did not have access to all of the photo ops after purchasing the overpriced food & drinks.
