San Bernardino Restaurant Guide

The Brandin' Iron is California's longest running Honky Tonk since 1969. The Brandin' Iron is located in the historic 1953 Citrus Bowl building. The brassy and classy authentic saloon interior and 3" thick huge maple dance floor has made us literally world famous.

Visionaries Bob and Bernie Hill started the BI in 1969. The building sat empty from 1987 to 1992 when current saloon keeper Bill Thomas rode into town and brought the Legendary Brandin' Iron back to its glory.

The BI has offered hospitality to generations of Californians and is honored to earn your entertainment business with a 70% repeat guest base. Our mission is to "Offer our guests a clean, safe, comfortable environment to have fun and socialize." We are committed to be the community meeting place for our area. Brandin' Iron staff training policy is centered on this philosophy.

Our goal is for the BI to always be a place where you, your daughter, sister, mom, aunt or grandma can come to have fun, dance, and feel safe. If you are a current BI family member we thank you for the opportunity to strive to offer exceptional hospitality. If you haven't been to the BI yet, please ask for Bill so I can personally welcome you with a big ole Brandin' Iron howdy.
