Saddle Up Saloon & Dancehall

Some of the most disrespectful people I have ever met. I went to celebrate a friend getting married the next day and have never been met by such rude and disrespectful security at the door. They didn't recognize my out-of-state license, which I understand, but was with a large group where everyone else was also out-of-state and significantly above drinking age. After running my card 3 times and it being fine, then calling over 2 more security guards, they proceeded to vandalize and destroy my license, by pulling the plastic layer off that many states have started to add for protection. It took the color off of my license and ruined the edge of it. A friend made a joke like, "there are other states other than Illinois," meaning nothing by it and the security guard said, "well if your friend is going to mouth off to me, I'm not going to look at it any more, you can leave." Anyways, will never go back and would advise anyone against going if they are going to treat people like that.

Went there wednesday June 22 2022. All good, had a great time. Friday comes around and I'm randomly charged 54$ that night on my debit card.... I was in bed Friday night. I have my card with me, it's always in my wallet. I only used it to open a tab. I tipped but only 20% as you should. That 20% even if it dragged to show up was NOT 54$. PAY WITH CASH!!! and of you don't, please check your bank accounts even days after you leave ...someone here is up to no good

The owner of this restaurant also owns Q Bar and posted this disgusting sign outside the restaurant saying they’re short staffed due to government handouts. How dare you disrespect American workers while you accept over $115k in PPP loans? Maybe you’d have workers if you pay good wages and treat them with kindness.

Not a bad bar, but not a particularly great one either. Not sure why there was a cover charge when the atmosphere of the place has a lot to be desired and it's missing some staples of a country bar. I noticed for a highly diverse community as Aurora, the place seemed exclusively white. Also, they have a sign posted on the door saying "Because of government handouts, no one wants to work anymore." So, it's obvious they also don't use that cash you pay to pay their staff a decent wage either.
