Savannah’s Old Town Saloon — Restaurant in California

I was going to give this place one star, but the truth is it can be a cool spot, if you aren’t visibly queer or different in ways conservatives find threatening. Unfortunately, that’s not my reality.

I’ve experienced both discrimination and sexual harassment here and I’m not assuming. These were direct, undeniable experiences. Here’s one: I was at the bar with a friend playing pool, and went to grab a drink. I started casually chatting with someone, and out of nowhere, his friend told him to stop talking to me. I already knew it was because they thought I was trans. Whatever, I brushed it off and went back to playing pool.

Later, a man and his group of friends came over and started harassing me and my friend. Before that even happened, he had already been going around the bar telling people, including the bartender, that I was trans. She did nothing. It wasn’t until I made a scene that she finally backed me up and kicked him out.

Also, the doorman, Franky is odd with a sour personality. The owner is creepy as well.

I gave it 2 stars because the place itself is awesome, with a cool setup. It is just unfortunate these small town folks are so closed minded.

The discrimination and lack of safety for queer people here is real. It’s disheartening, but I try to stay strong in myself and not let their ignorance change who.

For the record, I’m not trans, I’m a biological woman, but I don’t tell them that because it doesn’t...

I Love this place!! The staff & patrons here are very welcoming & friendly . Frankie welcomed us with a huge smile & a warm welcome while he was BBQ'ing as we were walking up to the front entrance the back patio area is beautiful it is my favorite place to relax , enjoy the weather and drink an ice cold tall mug of modelo while munching on a some tacos, the inside is very clean, nice & neat. This is my must stop bye & visit saloon when i come into town. We live far from Tehachapi & visit my father in law every two week's who lives across town on tucker road. I'm glad i found this place on my way to P-Dubz. The decorations caught my eye & made me say Hey!! "this looks like my kind of place" & made me wanna pull in & have a looksie. The greetings i received made my day & made...

I was here and someone threatened the staff with a knife. But what I then saw made my jaw drop, instead of the owner restraining the man, he was brutally assaulted by numerous customers and staff, then was hog tied and publicly shamed on the internet, he went to the hospital and had to have his head stapled closed, this was appalling. I couldn't believe my eyes. The shier brutality of those people made me sick. How could one do that to another person who was clearly inebriated, when you could've simply restrained him and waited for authorities. I'm absolutely disgusted and this place needs...
