They're not that large so you'll probably have a hard time seeing them, unless you're right on the bar. Pass on this place, especially if you're a local. Oh and I think they even charge a cover. Fml

Not to sound like apologist, but this is common theme in most clubs. Nonetheless, I also want to see this worked on by the staff. Overall, chill bar for drinks or pool on weekday, or rowdy honky tonk on weekend. There's not too many left... After the saddle rack closed, you've noticed many from bay commuting out here to get closer feel what saddle rack gave. I have nothing but respect for what this bar stood for during the pandemic. Of course not everyone will agree, but this place was important symbol nonetheless. I recommend giving this bar a try if you like country music. Just don't get too rowdy till you a regular!

Music was good, maybe a tad loud for the vibe and lighting was too bright for the music. Tone down the lights and bring the sound down a bit might change the crowds mind to loosen up. Then when a dance area starts is when the music can go up. The drinks were ok but they seemed pretty out of everything I was looking for like the dry ice for their most expensive drink on the menu and cherries!! The hit drink I noticed looked spicy and Modelo beers. I asked for an IPA which they only had on tap and was Sierra Nevada. They priced drinks differently so that's kinda more my reason of my lack of stars. I asked for a commonly known drink I used to get back in my fun years...Tokyo tea which is pretty much a Long Island or AMF but with Midori instead. I was priced $10 which is reasonable but the switched shift bartender for the night priced my friend who got the same drink $11. The FB post kind of seems misleading but I can't judge it based on their post. The Friday evening for April 11 had a girl DJ in the background and a name that either a guy or girl would have but it really made me think a girl DJ was gonna be there but I was wrong lol Other people did socialize with us which was nice and I hope they get a lot more attention for the summer coming up. The door guy did say Saturday night and the Sunday day club does get a bit more traffic so I'll make it out to those days in the near future. I've been to this location when it was a different owner/name and the vibe seems the same. I've been bringing friends here and now with the new name I'll still try to bring friends in because music is life and they do bring that in.

Came in here to meet some people and ordered a drink, went to use my card and was told a $2.50 extra charge just to use the card. I'm sorry but I'm not into the cheap nickel and dimeing places and won't be back here and because of the crappy cold atmosphere I would not recommend it either.

Great karaoke show with lots of very diverse ethnically friendly folks all hanging out and having a great time. The karaoke host was very friendly and walked around getting people when he had a chance. There was a super happy vibe throughout the whole place. Nice place to hang out and enjoy some awesome singers! I highly recommend it if you need a new spot to go to. read more

When we were driving down through downtown I saw the new murals so we stopped by for some selfies. We noticed a lot of people walking to this location and decided to check this bar out. Music was on and drinks were affordable. We hung out for a bit but when a guy started talking to us and staying around we left after our cigarette break The bartender was pregnant and that just made me think about when I was also the pregnant bartender at the bar, fun times. I hope they can bring music like a DJ (instead of the music box customers have to pay for) on Saturday nights bring a little more fun to a weekend evening I would definitely like to come by again

I genuinely LOVE this bar, which makes this review even harder to write. The atmosphere, the…read moreregulars, and the employees have always made it a place worth coming back to. Unfortunately, great employees can only do so much when they're working under poor management. Watching a good employee feel forced to leave because of the atmosphere created by management was beyond disappointing. You can have a great bar, great customers, and an amazing staff, but a bad boss can make the environment so uncomfortable that good employees no longer feel they can stay. Being in charge doesn't automatically make someone a good leader. Good managers communicate, respect their employees, recognize the people who actually contribute to the success of the business, and create a positive workplace. I still love this bar and the people who make it what it is. My problem is with the management and the atmosphere they've created. The staff deserves better, and frankly, so does the bar.

There are a couple TV's, pool tables and a DJ/Dance area. They play music on the regular and will typically have a DJ on some weekends. It is 100% a locals type of spot as it is the only dedicated bar in Ripon. The bar staff are typically on point and serve you within a reasonable amount of time. Weekdays are definitely not a problem, but Friday and Saturday nights can be fairly busy. Here is what I found disgusting: if you find yourself to be the designated driver or a non-drinker, the soda gun or bar gun that dispenses the different sodas & water needs to be thoroughly cleaned or changed out. The soda and water taste like it was not just unfiltered, but as if the filter hasn't been changed out in ten years. To me, the water was not consumable at all. This not only tastes bad, but can get people sick also. Aside from that, if you're just looking to get a drink or two at a bar, The Inn will get it done.
