I had just arrived in town for a business trip. It was a little before midnight and I wanted to walk the strip. The first place I felt comfortable enough to walk into was this place. The place seemed really nice. It was late so I walked toward the door to see what else Green Bay had to offer. And a gentleman asked me if I was okay. I thought that was so sweet of him. I told him I was fine and that I was just exploring. After walking out, I realized there wasn't much more I could explore so I walked back in to get a quick drink and that same gentleman wouldn't let me back in. I thought he was joking. I asked him why and he replied, "Because you're not right in the head tonight, you're spacey." I still thought he was joking. I didn't realize he was the bouncer. He wasn't standing at the entrance. I had made it in a ways. I thought he was some local that frequented the bar and was just playing a joke on me. I looked around to the people standing behind him. A female playing darts said, "You must be high on shrooms or something." My heart sank. I was excited to be in a new city. I was just happy to find a cool little bar. That is not something anyone has ever accused me of. I look back at the guy and he echos the girl. He is asking me to leave because he thinks I'm high. Listen, I get that entrance to places like this are at the discretion of the staff. But, the way that whole scenario played out really hurt my feelings. The joy was knocked out of me for the night. I walked back to my hotel in tears. It's late, I had 2 flights get delayed today. I was just happy to...
Read moreJust wanted to apologize for my last time here. I came in with some friends around 1:40am and heard last call. We spent some time at other bars before so I was a little tipsy walking in (not that it's an excuse for my behavior). Hearing last call that early (closed at 2am) made me a little upset so I kept turning to me friends and saying "Don't worry they're the ones losing money". The bouncer at the time, who won't be named, said I was getting annoying and that really hit me. I didn't intend on being annoying or frustrating anyone here, so hearing that kind of hurt (as it should). The bouncer (a larger, younger man with a beard) did a very good job for the time we were there. He set me straight as I needed it, and did a very good job of keeping an eye on the bar while we were there. If possible please tell this bouncer he is doing a great job and that a customer (Matthew) is sorry for their actions towards him. Great bar and great environment. Bouncer took his job very seriously (in a good way). 100% recommend this bar to anyone...
Read moreI am giving 1 star to service because, occasionally, I enjoy Black Saddle during the week. I would give it another star for service, but after hearing a conversation tonight that had absolutely nothing to do her where I quoted an old vine video of a pastor who made a church rap to the gentleman I was talking to (yes maybe I should not have used exact wording) The Bartender decided to broadcast the fact that I said it to everyone that was sitting at bar. Not that she should have been announcing other people's conversations, but she very clearly said it loud enough for me to hear and to other people who did not belong nor understood the context of the conversation. I was not very happy about everyone at the bar hearing my mistake, much less having people at the bar trying to pick an argument with me. I'll still go to Saddle with friends and for the live music, but I am very uncomfortable and unhappy to be embarrassed like that. this is just a warning about unprofessionalism at this establishment (No, not every bartender is like...
