the saddle rack

This is a fun place to go in Fremont for country music, a good dance floor, and drinks. It brings in good live country bands at times. Its a fun place to go.

We attended on Thursday, swing dance night. The band was excellent. There are two separate wooden dance floors which we, as dancers appreciate. There was a very modest entrance fee and the libations were fairly priced. The wait staff were friendly and the bathrooms were large and very clean. On the same trip, we want back a second time.

The older dancers arrive early to 2 step, and west coast swing. There is a small food kitchen if you need a quick microwaved sandwich. The younger crowd arrives later in the night to line dance, and the entire place gets packed. We love this place.

Well, let's just say, if you are looking for Country Flavor, customers that would fight to be on an X factor for country music, look no further. The place was a spectacle, an enigma. I felt as though I wasn't in San Francisco, or either Northern California anymore. I wonder if they would have karaoke night? There were so many attractive woman in one place, It's almost a suburban version of Ultra Music Festival. So saddle up, bring those Aldo Boots, and Giddy'on down to Saddle Rack.

My group of friends had a blast : mid-week - dancing, drinking, and yes...mechanical bull riding. For only $5.00 cover, they have dance lessons with a DJ, then live band. Everyone was friendly, and helpful when we struggled though some of the dance steps. You don't have to have a dance partner = line dances, and instructor has you rotate partners during the couple dance lessons. Huge warehouse space with lots of parking - Full bar, 3 different dance floors, and a mechanical bull for those brave enough. Country western and swing dancing. Check web page for schedule. They have a hotel and shuttle deals for the weekends. Couple of hotels and restaurants within 6 blocks. In between San Jose and Oakland, easy access from the freeway.

Apre alle sette di sera e poi si riempie in un paio d'ore di centinaia di persone di ogni età che ballano il country in linea o ciascuno a modo suo. Il locale è proprio bello, arredato in perfetto stile West, dove si può bere e mangiare qualche piatto veloce seduti ad uno degli innumerevoli tavoli e dove vigono alcuni divieti: gli uomini non possono usare infradito, portare una canottiera senza maniche e neppure, senti senti, entrare con le armi.Imperdibile.
