Diners drive ins and dives weekend. Trying new places on the map. Located right at the entrance to the greens. Initially we visited to play some pool but when we walked in we didn't see a pool table anymore but we did see a squirrel trying to get a nut lol. The place was packed. Great to see guys having guy time with their best buds. Open air bar with lots of tables and chairs under the covered patio. No frills, straight and to the point kinda place. Service was friendly upon arriving. Enjoy some golf or the driving range on those perfect days.

Loved it here! Good vibes and the owner is AMAZING! Definitely looking forward to becoming a regular here. Great place for chilling and enjoying yourself care free.

Stopped by and grabbed a tall boy. It was a friendly nice crowd. The bartender was sweet and the atmosphere was chill. You could drink inside or go out on the porch area and enjoy the day. You also get to watch all the golfers attempt at hitting little ball... I would come again but I like more of the hard stuff

A great place to relax after a round of golf, or to simply hang out. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. Drinks and snack food served throughout the day. Staff is awesome and many locals are there regularly. It's right next to an executive 9-hole golf course.

To much fun with all the board games and giant Jenga! The driving range is there if you would like or just enjoy the 2 for $10 24 oz beers. Their menu is basic but it will give you enough to choose from to help you enjoy your beer. It is not fancy just fun! We coming back for sure!

Good bar to grab a snack and a few cold ones when at the driving range. I have only been here during COVID19 so I haven't had the full experience here (they have dart boards, pool table on the patio, inside looks cool) when COVID19 is over and the bar opens completely up I will update my review. But good spot.

Owner is amazingly friendly and accommodating! My wife and I requested to host a party and they allowed us to take over the patio area and bring our own food in. We purchased drinks at the bar all night, had music, played pool and of course played golf! We were there for 7 hours and had a blast. I thinks we had people coming and going for 7 hours! Bartender Harmony was friendly, kind, and wonderful! We will come again! It's a cool spot to hang out and chill. Definitely come check it out. We had fun and I'm sure you will too! We appreciate you! Thanks again for letting our family take over :) read more

Notice that all the positive reviews of this place are from 5+ years ago. I'd like to hope it was once more affordable for what it is, but for the quality of beer, food, and golf... I'm shocked this place calls itself an executive club and tries to charge what it does! The American flag right upfront is also ripped up, honestly disgraceful and disrespectful. Do better if you're gonna charge ppl like a nice golf club. read more

One of my favorite hole in the wall watering holes! Yes it's a smaller bar but I prefer smaller places such as this because it create a more welcoming environment and Brooks Bar does just that. They have plenty of outdoor seating which is a plus in my book. You can't beat the prices. The staff and regulars are always kind and accommodating. If you're looking for somewhere to spend an afternoon on the weekend or somewhere to go after work Brooks Bar creates the perfect atmosphere to have a good time. What's better than being able to sit outside with an affordable beer? :) read more

This place was pretty cool. More of a high school vibe but it was still great. Majority of the beers were all cans which would've been great if they had it in tap. I would've gave this place a five star if the beers weren't all cans, and if they had food available. Other than that, I still enjoyed my time there with my girlfriend. I would visit again. ! read more

Brooks bar is a great after work special! I work at UTC down the way and this place was a great find. Usually hit this place on Thursday or Friday night with some coworkers and it is a great little bar. Beer is reasonably priced, free pool, and karaoke whenever the boys are feeling a little chatty. I would recommend this place to anyone to come down and check it or yourself. Peaceful place that doesn't get too many of the meat heads coming around stirring trouble. read more

This place is trash!!! The bartenders are always drunk they never know what's going on. Yesterday I stopped in to buy tall can to take out on the golf course I gave the bartender my card she swiped it and as soon as the payment went through she decided to turn off the iPad I'm guessing she was drunk off her ass. So I was charged the $7 and never got my beer last time going to this dump. read more

A hidden gem in Riverside! Lived here for 47 years and now, after I move out of state, I come back for a visit and find this sweet little bar that I've never been to before. What it lacks in ambiance, it makes up for in their bartender, Shelley. I don't know how she keeps up with all the drinks but she's a great combination of bartender and a night at a comedy club. Not only will you enjoy the service, you get her quick-witted comebacks to smartasses and she's got a laugh that's loud and infectious. You'll always leave with a smile on your face -- maybe because you drank enough or maybe just because they've hired a great bartender with a wicked sense of humor. read more

They have a great selection of beer and it's open until 2am 7 days a week. Finally a downtown earth bar in the I.E. Great Job Brooks CHEERS!! read more

The event included multiple vendor popups from food to beauty to health products. Vendors set up in the alley behind the brewery, there was plenty of parking in the front of the business off of Central Ave. There were many picnic style tables and metal tables set up, but as the event started filling up, the tables went pretty quickly. I would suggest getting to this event early. We tried many different foods; Mexican tacos and taquitos and aguas frescas. The Jamaica-Strawbery was delicious! Also had vegan fried sushi topped with fried shrimp and fried tofu. Delicious vegan ribs with Mac n cheese. The ribs were made with jackfruit and mushrooms and covered with delicious barbecue sauce. Then we had fried oyster "chicken" and fried king oyster "fish." The fish looked almost identical to real fish, it was mind blowing. Everything I tried was out-of-this-world delicious. The brewery was taking orders and many people were taking advantage of their offerings of beer and cider. Please visit this event on Sundays, you won't be disappointed. The schedule can be found on the IG page: IE Vegan Sundays.

The ambiance is well created with the dim lights, lit bar, and sounds of ice being shaken. My fiancé and I were seated right at the middle of the bar upon opening, and our bartender named Chris (?) was extremely welcoming with a sense of humor. He gave us an ample of amount of time to review the menus. We first got an IPA and the Love me Knot. For food, we ordered some Cajun fries and the party wings with red chimichurri sauce. The wings were fantastic! The fries were very crunchy, and I wish they were a tad bit softer. For our next round of drinks, we got the Old Fashioned and the Bee's Knees. The drinks were right on par. We left after a few hours and found ourselves quite satisfied. It was a fun experience and the monthly change of words above the liquor wall is always a conversation starter. Needless to say, we'll be back!

I've gone here a couple of times for multiple occasions and holidays.. regardless of the occasion - service and food have been spectacular. The restaurant is offers ample seating and has a full service bar. The decor is modern and makes you feel like you walked into a very upscale location. I have tried multiple dishes here and my standouts are the following: Cajun shrimp, poke nachos, ribeyes and prime rib(if you're lucky). This is a hidden gem for Riverside and I cannot wait for our next visit!

We started off with spinach and artichoke dip. We also got fettuccine Alfredo with blackened chicken and a steak sandwich with fries. We came on a Friday at 5 without reservations and were able to have a table without any problems. We had to street park since they close off their parking lot and make it valet.

Ancho's is one of those places I honestly don't know if it's considered a hidden gem or not, but…read moreafter living in Riverside for the past 3-4 years, I can't believe I've never been here until now. I found out about it through my cousin, who's a UCR alum, and I'm really glad I finally got to try it. The staff were super nice and attentive, constantly coming by our table to check if we needed more water, tortillas, or anything else we might want. Even with how busy it was, they still made sure everyone was taken care of, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was packed, and it actually surprised me because I don't usually see that many people at restaurants in Riverside. The energy inside felt lively but still comfortable. One of my favorite parts was the fresh tortillas. They come out hot and fresh from the oven, and you can literally watch them being made right in front of you, which made it even better. And the best part is they're free. We ordered the carne fajitas and chile relleno. The fajitas were incredible, the meat was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, with that perfect smoky sear that comes from being cooked fresh on a hot skillet. Everything came out sizzling and stayed flavorful with every bite. The chile relleno was also really good, with a nice balance of savory and slightly creamy filling that paired well with the sauce. It was actually my first time trying fajitas, and I can confidently say I'll be ordering them again the next time I come back. I definitely plan on returning while I'm still at UCR to make up for all the years I didn't know this place existed.

If I could rate separately for service I would give it a 5…read more This place is not lacking any help in the waiter and waitress department. We have not been here since the 90's and I have to say, it was much better back then. All in all, there is just no flavor. The salsa tasted like watery tomatoes, our waitress gave us a little side of habanero salsa to incorporate with it but that heat is the extreme for me. We ordered the Mesquite chicken and steak fajitas which were less than average. Not sure if it was just a bad day, but the taste of the protein did not match up to the wonderful smell of BBQ outside the restaurant. The tortillas were just ok, first batch was not even warm. My Michelada was good though. Bummer visit after being away for so long. Looks like the interior could stand a makeover.

They use jumbo shrimp, so you may want to order a little extra if you're really hungry since one pound may not be as much as you expect. I definitely recommend the Luxe Dinner for Two. It comes with an appetizer, two drinks, three pounds of seafood, and dessert for around $90. If you're in the area and love seafood, you have to check this place out!

The food was excellent. Perfectly spiced not too salty and loaded with garlic, just how we love it…read more The service was ok. A larger group who was seated after us was served before us, they even hadn't taken our food order yet. That was disappointing, but sadly even in these days, not unexpected. Later in the service our server was attentive. The ambiance as nice. Overall, the experience was pleasant. Going back to get some more of their delicious food. Hopefully that service experience was an anomaly.

The craft beer flight is a must here as they rotate them out weekly. The service is always great, every time we come in we get friendly smiles and helpful menu suggestions. The atmosphere is relaxing especially their outside dining area. They always have events so check their calendar!

Everything about this place is a green flag!…read more Food: Quality is top tier. Everything is good but my favorite is anything with their fried chicken and their hot mess sauce - my goto is their hot mess mac and cheese with all the extra sauces. I am obsessed with their homemade sauces.. hot mess ofcourse, garlic aioli, white bbq, and their house ranch are my faves.. don't ask me to only choose one. I don't really drink so I haven't tried their craft beers but they have a wide selection, flights, and togo inventory. I have no pictures because I couldn't help myself. Service: Again, quality is top tier. The staff is fabulous, consistently kind and they are why the place feels warm but exciting. Environment: Love the atmosphere here! They have fun events like movie night, crafting activities, and games (board and group). The most available seating is upstairs and the patio but they also have some seating on the first floor where you order. Parking is good. The establishment is a unit out of a larger building so parking is shared with other businesses but I have never had an issue with parking and I have come here many times at various times. Overall 15/10. Just come here and eat their yummy food and be happy that you listened to this review. Thank you Thompson Brewing, I hope you reign forever.

Ive come here multiple times at night and it has a great atmosphere. You feel welcomed and being able to drink outside is very refreshing. The bartenders are nice. They do go off and talk to acquaintances, but if they see you at the bar they'll come right away. Haven't had any food there yet because the food area closes earlier in the day, but it looks worth it with chips and candies available. They even have an assortment or board games and Viant Janga to play while you hangout. Jukebox is also available and plays the music both inside and outside on speakers. I plan on going back again soon. :) read more

I haven't been here in about 10 years since I don't eat pork & my options are extremely limited. We got a light lunch & I had actually forgotten how much I liked their schnitzel. My kids loved the Nutella crepe, too. Not too dazzled with the cheese spaetzle, maybe if it was melted more. Anyway, the sides & bread were good. Service was a bit too slow considering how empty it was. Our waitress was nice, though. read more
