Maverick Saloon

The MAVERICK SALOON, established in 1963 and celebrating it's 54th Anniversary, is one of the last original, thriving California Hony-Tonk Saloons. Tucked away in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, the Maverick gives locals and visitors a taste of the Old West and makes everyone feel at home. The minute you step on the front porch you will see the... history in the walls constructed from old barns, hear the live music coming from the stage, and feel the spirit of the people who've been welcomed through its doors by the signed dollar bills left on the ceiling - proof they were once lucky enough to have been there! Next time you're in the Santa Ynez Valley come by the Maverick Saloon/Big Tom's Backyard BBQ for a beer, perhaps a line dance or to enjoy the "Best Tri-Tip in the Valley" and become a part of our history. For the past 10 years, the Maverick Saloon has been named "BEST BAR" in the Santa Ynez Valley and in 2014, we are once again ranked No. 1 for "Best Entertainment" featuring concerts with Dierks Bentley, Jeff Bridges, Sugarland, Confederate Railroad, Josh Turner, Wil Ridge, John Corbett, Mark Chestnut and many more. TALES FROM THE TAVERN is an incredible 10-15 concert series appearing exclusively at the Maverick Saloon in the Fall and Spring. It provides the perfect venue for artists and audiences to connect in a creative and exciting way. Presented by Ron Colone and Carole Ann Colone, they have produced shows featuring some of the industries most unique singer/songwriters and exciting artists including Richie Furay, Ryan Bingham, Eliza Gilkyson, Donovan, Paul Thorn, Dave Stamey, Jack Tempchin, Wil Ridge, Janis Ian, Vonda Shephard, John Corbett, Jim Messina, Carlene Carter, Patricia Ahn and JD Souther.Read More
