This Old West-themed steakhouse serves up hearty portions and a thrilling mechanical bull ride, making it a fun spot for a lively night out.
"Sometimes you just have to say “f*ck it,” go to Saddle Ranch, take a Fireball shot, and ride the bull till dawn. We love Saddle Ranch because it knows exactly what it is - a ridiculous disaster of a bar that’s as rowdy as it is cheesy. You’re going to make out with someone with a Monster energy drink tattoo and they’re going to ask for a ride to their parents’ house in the morning, but you’re not even mad. It’s exactly what you signed up for." - brant cox
"If you’re at Saddle Ranch any day before 4pm, just pat yourself on the back—you’re living your best life. This Sunset Strip icon is a kitschy, tourist-clogged mess, and we love every single second of it. Deal: $19.99 bottomless mimosas or Bloody Marys with a purchased entreé. Saturday and Sunday 10am-3pm." - brant cox, nikko duren
"There are nights you go out for a few drinks and there are nights you go all out at Saddle Ranch. The kitchy, over-the-top whiskey apocalypse on the Strip is pure insanity and one of those places where, if you don’t leave with a great story, you know you didn’t do it right. You’re going to take some Fireball shots, ride a mechanical bull in front of strangers, and give your number to a girl from Tucson who has her ex’s name tattooed on her knuckles. Don’t come to Saddle Ranch to judge - because it certainly isn’t judging you." - brant cox
"In an area with ample sloppy brunch spots, Saddle Ranch might just be the messiest of them all. But we suspect if you’re at this (in)famous Western-themed restaurant on The Strip, you probably already know that. Brunch runs Saturday and Sunday until 3pm with a big menu filled with even larger entrees like Texas toast and steak and eggs. Bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys are only $18.99 with a purchase of an entree, and in case you’re wondering, the bull is back up and running." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren
"Going to Saddle Ranch is a lot like taking a shot of Fireball: It’s something you only do when you want to drink like you’re 21 again. It’s also an appropriate analogy, because a stranger will probably hand you a shot of something brown and vaguely cinnamon-y while you’re at this absolute mess of a bar on the Sunset Strip. It’s cheesy, it’s crowded, and it’s absolutely ridiculous (there’s a giant mechanical bull inside) - but it’s also an incredible way to spend a night. You might wake up next to someone who has to get back to class at UC Riverside the next morning, but it’ll still be a great time." - brett keating
