    Amazing beer, wine and cocktail options! This place is awesome and just right down the street from my house so also convenient for me! I enjoyed the ambiance also nice place, nice bar and places to sit. Plus they have singers and Karaoke on certain nights. Too cool! I noticed they have darts too which looks fun. The service was on point also and the bartender was nice and helpful plus very attentive! Can't wait to stop by again for another night cap. I'll definitely be coming to this little gem again lots of times in the future! Highly recommend!

    My husband and I booked Better Days for our baby shower and it was so perfect! The space was enough for all our guests and the couches were so comfy and cozy for hanging out! We had room for baby shower games and used the dart boards as well! We hired a taco cart for food and they were able to set up out on the balcony with a table inside for all the extras! They allowed us to come early and decorate too. The staff was INCREDIBLE and they had such a great selection of beer, wine, and other fun drinks! The owners made everything so easy and were helpful and communicative every step of the way!

    Live Music at Better Days

    Great desert gem with awesome vibe and ambiance. Fast and friendly service, great adult beverages selection, usually has vendors food trucks right outside for delicious lunch or dinner. Darts, live music most weekends. Definitely one of the top spots to let your hair down on the weekend.

    Great space for tables for food .

    Fantastic place for an event also !!! Had my baby shower here on a Saturday morning just about a month ago. So awesome they offer it during non-business hours. Had the best communication during planning. The best service from Brett and Katie! Clean and a great time. Then all the little things did not go unnoticed by you two , helping during with cleanup, not even letting me try to clean or pull a wagon! They were amazing! If you are looking for a great place for a celebration Better Days is the place.

    Had very pleasant time here. The ambiance and overall look of this lounge is definitely a breath of fresh air (if you live in Apple Valley, or visit often, you know what I mean). I'd definitely recommend and visit again. The owner is very welcoming and friendly and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. I've yet to visit on a weekend, but if the time permits, I will definitely do so!

    Finally, a Stout!

    Long overdue review! Clean. Such a sweet bartender. Feels safe for women here. Calm and mature environment. Not dirty and creepy like most drinking establishments in this area. Probably one of the only places that serve decent stouts in the area. Definitely recommended!

    Super friendly bartender , Brett! The vibe is super chill, perfect for some after work unwinding and fun dart throwing. They had a Paloma Cider that I WILL be coming back for. They also have special events such as trivia and karaoke on certain nights. A must try.

    Still great beer! They always update their stuff. I'm impressed with the selection and they rotate through some great ones. Stop in for a pint!

    Nice and cozy. Warm and inviting. The atmosphere and nice luxurious seating makes is a hidden nook to check out. Games are available for community use and fun with friends. I'll return but only after pregaming to watch my spending. It's a bit pricey for my taste.

    Better Days is by far the top bar in the high desert! Great service, atmosphere, and beer choice! I highly recommend it.

    Between bartenders drinking with friends and another doing shots it was hard to get service. Probably won't come back to this place.

    They're alright but they don't serve food. The ambiance was dull. The service was okay but unless you're a regular they don't really care.

    Do you serve hard alcohol as well, or just beer and wine?

    Beer and wine, although we do have a few fermented spirits we mix with. (Wine based vodka etc)

I have been there quite a bit, I never been disappointed in any of the food items I have ordered. Not to mention the drinks are cold and tasty. The portion sizes are worth the price, and everything looked just as good as it tasted. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was also very clean and had a nice atmosphere, which made the experience even better. It is also family friendly I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and great service."

    If you're anywhere near Hesperia or Oak Hills, Ropers Lounge is an absolute must. The food is…read moreconsistently awesome, and the portions are no joke--you definitely get your money's worth. The drinks are always on point, whether you're keeping it simple or trying something new. What really sets this place apart is the service. The waitresses and bartenders are always friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. It's clear the owners genuinely care about the experience. The vibe is one of the best parts--laid-back, welcoming, and full of locals who give it that true community feel. You'll see a lot of familiar faces from Oak Hills and Hesperia, which just adds to the charm. Juan and Natalie, the owners, are often there themselves, making sure everything runs smoothly and that guests are taken care of. That personal touch goes a long way. The Country Music is always great. Whether it's the regular playlist or a live band, the volume is perfect--you can actually enjoy the music and have a conversation without yelling across the table, which is rare these days. My wife and I go as often as we can, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend Ropers Lounge 100%! -- Moises & Josie Gutierrez
