First time here meeting a friend on a Thursday after work. I was impressed by the friendliness of the patrons. Even got my second drink«on the house» as a patron, Bobby bought the bar a round. Played pool(no charge). Only charge is if you drop the stick on the ground, I did. Get charged a buck for upkeep of the gratis pool sticks. Way worth it. Great time!

I was only there about a hour at closing picking up a friend. it looks like as much fun as you want to make it.

The male bartender was awesome for my first trip into the bar. My friends and I were enjoying ourselves for being first timers, we new it was karaōke night but at the time nobody was singing so we asked to play different music. The dj quote on quote said«you can turn around and get the fuck out» to my female friend. At this point we realized he was being serious and being absolutely disrespectful to my female friend. I wish the bartender saved it for us but I will definitely be asking if I ever return who the dj is for the night. Good luck for first timers and wishing to make a connection to the bartenders and«dj»

Remember when I came here for Halloween and you threw me out? Remember when we WEREOFFERED A DAYOLDPUPPYOUTOF A HOMELESSMANSPOCKETATYOURBAR?!! Remember when that same homeless man lived in your parking lot FOR A WEEK?!! Remember when we came to your bar numerous times, even after that, happily spending money? Remember how shitty your bartender Kim is? Remember how she’s a two faced asshole? Well I do, and I am honestly disappointed. Sad, very sad.

Not only is Megan the worst bartender i have ever met but they sure know how ruin your night if your not a local went to celebrate my birthday there and got kicked out for being drunk(I thought that’s what your supposed to do at a bar I’m not a fighter and I’m not loud so I don’t know what I did so wrong) so you might wanna learn how to make a few drop shots and be a little more friendly I’m from a small town I know how the country bars are with locals but I have never been treated in such a horrible way.

I’m from reno and have never been cut off from drinking(because I know when to stop) not only did they stop serving me once they heard I was from reno but once o decided I wanted to leave they followed me out and said I was to intoxicated to drive so my drunker friend was forced to drive down the street to just leave the damn place. I’ve been pretty damn drunk before and never have I been followed out to a car by a bartender claiming she served me more drinks than I know I drank which was 2 in 3 to 4 hours I was going to order one more but got cut off I wasn’t acting crazy or anything just do you know to. So if you feel like watching drunk locals sober this is the place to go if not I suggest you go somewhere else

My boyfriend and I went back to The Wrangler last night about 9:30 to have a beer and just get out for a moment since we are homebodies. Luckily my bf is a local cowboy and knows most in the area, so we were not asked to pay the $ 6 cover. We only planned on staying for 1 beer, anyways. We were served right away and proceeded to people watch and check out the place, being I haven’t been there in some time. The first thing I noticed was all the writing/graffiti over all the pine siding and ceilings. I know its a country bar, but that was just tacky. The stripper pole, and lame«V.I.P.» lounge has been removed(thank God!). Apparently, this place is under new ownership and hopefully gets its act together to bring back the crowds. Ok people… this is Elk Grove/Wilton/Sheldon. The females in this area are NOT hot, have NO fashion sense. They shop at the local feed store for their clothing and think rhinestone belts and turquoise and silver concho jewelry never go out of fashion, and oh, manure is the scent of the day. Men, if you are coming here to try to find your soul-mate, I seriously caution you that this is a place for a different type of woman. If you are just looking for an easy lay… knock yourself out. The girls in this town have lived here their whole lives and have been passed around so many times, you have most of your work cut out for you. And you better have deep pockets and NOT be wearing designer jeans. Women, if you like cowboys… this is a good place for you, but beware, there is always a crazy ex of theirs lurking around the corner. Oh and nevermind the females who sit in their cliques and glare angrily at you all night. They rarely often get to see another female who wears clothes not purchase at The Boot Barn. But hey… some guys think that is all hot. Oh how I wish this place was more fun. It has potential. I used to love to stop by after work on my way home for a cold one. It is usually pretty dead anymore, but it can be hit or miss. The area is in serious need of a great hangout without all the overpriced hoopla. The writing all over the walls just shows the age of people who are patronizing, though. I’m 43… I had nothing to contribute because well… Who does that? I read in a previous post that the owner was supposed to be painting over it. Good call. Make it black and start advertising more, buddy. He also might try picking up nostalgic wall hangings and references. People love history and a distraction.

Cute country bar. This bar was ok! I loved the fact that they let everyone write on the walls but the bartender told me they just got new owners and the new owners are painting over it this week! Shots were 5 dollars, love the band and there’s a stripper pole?! 5 dollar cover. Bartenders all nice and friendly. The only reason I didn’t give this bar 5 stars was because the people that were there that night weren’t very nice! I felt out of place. If I go back, I’ll come back on a Friday night! They say its better Friday nights.

Ok spot I guess. First time there and not my typical place to hangout. I went on a Thursday and it was pretty empty. Close to the house though and not a lot of traffic.

I can’t believe I’m in California right now, it feels like I’m deep in Nevada or Texas! Great drinks and the bartender Mike is awesome!

I don’t suppose it’s possible to give zero stars? What a sh*t hole. We came for a fundraiser and you couldn’t pay me to come back. The drinks are crappy, so order something in a bottle. One of the bartenders was in a pissy mood… great way to make tips. Half the light bulbs in this place are burnt out, which is good because it probably makes it look better. Of all the dive bars I’ve been in during my life, this has to be the worst. I would be embarrassed to say I frequent this place on a regular basis. I’d rather buy a sixer of cheap canned beer and sit in my front yard and look like white trash than come to this place again.

I finally made it to the Wrangler on a Wednesday night, which is karaōke night. The karaōke song selection was ENORMOUS — everything from Twinkle Twinkle Little Star(no, seriously) to Missy Elliot(you really should have seen my boyfriend’s sister in law pull this off — hilarious!) to a vast list of country artist from every decade. The karaōke equipment is hit or miss, however. Sometimes the screen pixelates so much you can’t read the words, which means you really better be confident in your song choice because you may not get much help. The KJ is nice though, and she’ll sing with you if you want. She’s actually a pretty good singer, so if you’re not, do us a favor and take her up on it. The crowd was sparse on a Wednesday night. I can’t blame the joint I guess. On a normal night, I would have been in bed already too, but I think it would have been more fun if there had been a bigger crowd. The beer is beer. Cold. In a bottle. Not much to say there. The Coke was $ 4 for like a mouthwash size cup. Kind of a ridiculous way to treat a designated driver, but oh well. It’s a 2-star dive in my book. I might go back if someone asked me to, but it wouldn’t be my idea.

Observations from my visit to the Wrangler… 1) Management has opted for beer caps as opposed to gravel for the front walkway 2) Management really cares about the well being of their patrons as evidenced by the note on the condom machine; «Don’t contract a disease or AIDS in our bar. Always pack a glove– The Wrangler»(No exaggeration needed. This is verbatim as I had to capture this with my camera phone) 3) It appears that livestock are also welcome and the back patio doubles as a horseshoe pit and a corral complete with hay and a watering hole Unless your horses are bar broke. A term I learned while at the Wrangler meaning your precious cargo is docile enough to wait it out in a trailer while you get your drink on 4) Expect all heads to turn when you walk in unless you can point out exactly where you’re from the Sharpie map on the ceiling 5) If you enjoy country, country and nothing but country this is your spot!!! A-OK in my book as I am a voyeur at heart and this my friends is great people watching as long as you’re crafty enough to disguise yourself as one of them

My first visit would’ve been a five-star experience, if it weren’t for some shady goings-on from behind the bar… –The bartender didn’t know how to make several drinks, so we ended up ordering beer and vodka tonics. My friend ordered a vodka Redbull, which tasted like vodka with orange soda. When he asked the bartender if he had put Redbull in it, the bartender said«Yeah, but it’s a knock-off brand.» So you mean, no. –I ordered one bottle of Widmer Hef. I gave the bartender a 20. Then I waited… and waited… and waited for my change. It was 20 minutes and 5 other patrons served before I got my change back. –When my friends went to close out their tabs, the bartender switched the charges on their cards, meaning the drunker one paid $ 30 and the almost sober one paid $ 6.50. Fine, since we were all friends and we could work it out later, but he charged us $ 30 for 3 shots. In a place like this, those shots should’ve cost no more than $ 5. We do not think overcharging the drunk guy was an honest mistake. If you knew how drunk my friend was, you would not disagree either. Both of my friends who’d been there before said that nothing like this had happened to them before, so aside from all the bullshit, music’s good, atmosphere’s friendly, and toes the line between laid-back hangout and local locos(the kind of assholes who death-stare any new face in the bar). Know your role, though. This place is for faded denim and beer guzzling. Not stilettos and Cosmos.

This C/W bar is in the Sheldon neighborhood — pretty close to the town of Wilton, CA— but its got an Elk Grove address. Yet its really close to Rancho Cordova, only 4.7 miles from Sunrise Blvd, perhaps 10 miles south of Highway 50. The Wrangler inhabits the old«Y-Not Club» building. The Y-Not Club was an Elk Grove hangout for over 50 years… originally was named the«Wrangler» prior to 1965, I believe. There are lots of newspaper articles and memorabilia of the old«Y-Not» on the walls of the new club. The new owners have remodeled the old dump to the best of their ability. Due to its historical nature, its difficult to rehab for modern concerns: the loading dock is on the wrong side of the building, the storage room is on the wrong side for the bartenders to keep the bar stocked(bar backs have to cross the dance floor with supplies), the ceiling over the stage area is only 7 feet high – making it nearly impossible to install modern dance lighting of any kind.(3 stars for the building) As for the entertainment… the Wrangler has a weekly lineup of activities scheduled, including Karaōke on Wednesdays, ladies night on Thursdays, DJ on Fridays, and Live Bands on Saturdays. One of the things I noticed, is that they have the most UNATTRACTIVE women I’ve ever seen in all my years as a club DJ… let’s just say they were cosmetically and calorically challenged(I’m being Politically Correct by not saying«Fugly») Not only that, but the owner can’t make up his mind about the Friday Night music format. Booty rap should not be played at a Honky Tonk Bar, and it sends the wrong message to the patrons. Nevertheless, its one of those colorful neighborhood bars that is popular with the Local Yokels.
