Crazy Horse Saloon — Restaurant in Chico

If you are visiting from out of state, DO NOT come here. I grew up in Chico and always wanted to check out what the Crazy Horse was all about. After recently moving back down from Oregon, my cousin and I decided to go check it out for her 32th birthday. We waited in line for over an hour in the cold assuming that it was a popular night and that there was a reason for the long wait. We come to find out from the person ahead of us that it is a new bouncer that was causing a hold up. By the time we got to the front of the line, the bouncer compares my ID to the pamphlet since he isnt familiarized with Oregon IDs. He seemed confused and had his coworker who was passing by glanced at it, stratch at my face on the ID and then said "no." In shock, I asked if they could just scan the barcode on my ID since I have never had my ID refused. I also have done bartending for over 5 years, reviewing many state liscences and am competent to weed out fake ones from real ones. They response was extremely rude and left a bitter vibe. I was willing to spend big at the Crazy Horse for my cousin's birthday but will unfortunately not be coming back due to incompetence...

I love the Crazy Horse Saloon! I've been coming to this place since I was 16 back when it was called The Temple. It has changed a lot over the years. My parents, relatives and siblings have frequented the Crazy Horse Saloon well over 20 years making memories, enjoying dancing and good drinks. I came back to town and came down with my sister. It was a Friday night and maybe a dozen people. My husband and I came back a few months later to bring our daughter who just recently turned 21. We had hoped to show her the exciting place where we used to go together but instead they were not playing country music and there were only three other people on a Saturday. I have been by a couple more times and I'm not seeing the crowds I used to. The staff is friendly and the drinks compared to other bars are not unreasonable or bad. I do think the old place needs a good cleaning or a little update here an there. My younger sister's don't want to come here with me because they have had the same dead experience in the recent years. I'll be back again later this year. I truly hope to see the Hey Dayz...

My fiancé (28 years old) tried to get into Crazy Horse last night for his brother’s 30th birthday celebration. Not only was he denied entry, but the bouncer physically destroyed the back of his valid ID while aggressively claiming it was fake. This was completely uncalled for and unprofessional.

When he asked to speak with the manager, instead of correcting the situation, the manager doubled down and also accused him of having a fake ID—with zero proof. No apology, no explanation, just pure dismissal.

This incident ruined what was supposed to be a special night, and now his government-issued ID is damaged beyond use. Absolutely unacceptable behavior from staff who should be trained better in both customer service and ID verification.

We won’t be returning—and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a respectful or responsible...
