The bouncers hit on you and are mad when you turn them down. Soooo thirsty, I wish the bouncers were more professional. It's honestly annoying and intimidating as a woman going in. We went and it was just us girls, the man outside... Amir, I believe.. He was great and then when we get to that door us girls had to deal with some mean and thirsty bouncers. Who we're even more mean when we turned them down. Like dude you're at work. It's honestly annoying and disrespectful. Specially the bigger thirsty disrespectful one, this was on 07/02/26. We went to pixels instead. Right next door to the right. Waaaaaaay more respectful to women. read more

Club Riv - Dance Clubs Near Me - Riverside, California

I'm from Los Angeles, and I wanted to take my coworkers out for a fun night. I'm so glad we came across this place! The venue is beautiful, the staff is absolutely gorgeous, and the security team was incredibly kind and welcoming. From the moment we walked in, everyone made us feel comfortable DJ was fire!! read more

Bouncer asked me to pay him 20$ Tony Hodges to let me go back upstairs after coming down to use the restroom for a min. Even after showing him proof I was already upstairs. That's foul no point in spending money on alcohol here if they just ruin the vibes read more

Do not come here if you are a postpartum woman. I recently came here with a friend of mine. We both recently had kids and were looking for a night out. I went to the bathroom once because if you know you know you can't hold it anymore after you have kids so had to go to the bathroom again. Was barely getting to the door and a security guard stopped me and my friend told us we are done and to follow him. We explained we're just trying to go to the bathroom. He told us it doesn't matter. Follow me you guys are done and left us in an alley. Luckily, we weren't drunk only had a few drinks. And were able to call a friend still inside who was our ride. I will never recommend this place and I will not be returning. The bathroom that I went into downstairs also did not lock so I had to hold while going, and someone tried to walk in. You would think since this place looks so nice the bathrooms would at least lock considering they have a worker in there who turns on the water for you and gives you a napkin to dry your hands after you wash them. But some places don't care about you and this is one of them don't waste your money here. Drinks are overpriced too. About $40 for two drinks. read more

Club Riv is a great spot, the sense of community is real, met the friendliest and chillest people here, it's a good crowd. I love that they do a Y2K night, more places need to do that, but I would also like some 2010s music in there, give us some Ke$ha and Rihanna! Drinks were good and strong! Bathroom was nice and pretty clean. read more

This place is a 1. Only because I came give any less. From a retired bottle girl, they are the bottom or the barrel. Come once and never again. Security???? A joke. Disrespectful. I worked the club scene before my career, and I'm safe to say it's trash now. I asked for cups, and she stayed there and only received 2 cups after an hour. If you come, go to the bar, avoid tables. Save it to where it's worth it, VEGAS. read more

Club Riv - Dance Clubs Near Me - Riverside, California

First of all, big shoutout to Bully for always showing up! Security is top tier, just come correct. I'm slowly getting to see the bartenders bc pregaming but the ones I've encountered, amazing! I'd give all my money if I could. The double rooms + outside (upstairs) is such a vibe. You got your mix of everything!!! Been coming here like 6 months & I will be returning! Come dance, come chat, come relax, it's your oyster. read more

Great classes and amazing music! However, I'm knocking off one star because the social dance doesn't begin until 10:30 PM. It's a bit of a wait if you're there for the early classes, but the vibes are excellent once it gets going. read more

The music is amazing and the bouncers are super friendly!! Would totally recommend coming here!! The customer service is amazing and the two stories is very unique!! read more

So apparently this establishment refuses patronage for having tattoos in certain paces not others.... Can you believe that? People inside dancing having a good time covered in tattoos yet if they are on the wrong part of your body your money is no good there... what's even funnier is it is the doormen deciding who's money is worth spending at the establishment not the owner. Wish I had more hands to give them 4 thumbs down... read more

Club Riv - These are the people deciding where tattoos are allowed on your body in order to enter... - Dance Clubs Near Me - Riverside, California

Had a very mediocre experience here! Went with a friend last weekend only to stand in line and find out there was a $15 cover charge! I inquired what the club was about that would make it worth paying the $15. The lady working answered me that there were three dance floors in addition to an upstairs area. We were about to leave, as I live in LA and have never in my life paid a cover charge and I've been to some of the hottest clubs in LA and Vegas! Then, the manager came up to me and my friend and offered us to come in for free, so we decided to check it out. The ambiance was fun and all but there was a huge wait to even get upstairs and while I enjoyed the music, it wasn't the best set I've seen. I definitely would not pay the cover charge to go here, but I would go again with free entry. The lighting was nice as well and we didn't try the drinks as all the lines were just too long! read more

worst experience EVER shitty workers .. left immediately and walked to DTE. Manger or promoter won't let you in just if they see you having a good time they think you're drunk. read more

The best most handsome photographer helped us have the best experience ever. I love him so much. Def will be coming back again especially if he's here in the building. read more

Genuinely the worst club I've ever been too. A line outside the door just to get into another line to go upstairs? Came on a Friday night early June and the line inside to go upstairs didn't move all night. They just kept people waiting with no intention of actually letting them in just to make it look like a "high demand club". Once upstairs, it's just a regular club. Genuinely nothing special and nothing worth waiting in line for. Don't waste your time. Fullerton, Pomona, and even other clubs around Riverside I've been to have been 10x times better than this one. Don't waste a Friday or Saturday night on this club read more

I actually had an amazing time!! The bouncers were super nice and didn't treat the men with the girls and I poorly. The drinks were made very well too and definitely kept the vibe going. DJ could've been a little better but I do like that he was playing a variety of music from reggaeton to hip hop. read more

Bully is my fav he always is so welcome and treats us so professional and always having a good vibe towards everyone thank you bully

Staff is nice. Bully, the promoter is very friendly. The music is great and the prices are great for the amount

Super fun and great for a night out !!! The staff are very helpful especially bully ! Very nice and helpful !!

I had sooo much fun!! The ambience is so lively and the music is fire. Will be coming back. Thanks again

Charged me 30$ to get upstairs & punk in front in a cheap suit asked my girl for her number security is aggressive for no reason lines are ridiculous NEVER COMING BACK !!!! So unprofessional read more

Waited an hour and a half to go to the second floor, while I watched other groups (who were not in line), go up as soon as they got inside the place. We were offered by a worker to go up there with just us ladies but we were celebrating a male friend's bday therefore he took back his offer. Anyway. read more

Pointless line to go upstairs with such a long wait it's ridiculous, if people were allowed to go upstairs and back down freely the atmosphere would be 10x better and there would be more engagement on the first floor. The drinks are ridiculously expensive for no reason, you're better off going to another club that is actually worth the money to get in. Also there's no AC so be prepared to literally scorch. read more

This club is so fun and I've never had any problems with it. However, theres the ahole bouncer/promoter they have outside. I asked him on an estimate to get to the second floor and he just laughed and told me we weren't getting in. All while continuing to let other people in. I think his name is Mike. read more

This place was lit when they first opened it but they've completely lost the plot. There's two floors of music, but the 2nd floor is what most people anticipate and will sometimes be impossible to get up stairs because security and staff are not fair and will allow cutting, and prioritizing..... tik tokers. *scratches head* The girls are no longer having fun at club riv because it's full of dudes on tables, dudes taking up sections, dudes creeping on women, dudes not dancing and dudes ruining club culture. but what's new? it's also just entirely overhyped, drinks are expensive, music is okay and overplayed, atmosphere is nothing crazy. Bring back free entry for women read more

My friend left her phone AT THE BAR, we walked out of the club at 1:23 am. When we realized we left the phone, security didn't let us back in because they were "closed" at 1:33 am ! Even tho we told them we left our phone at the bar downstairs by the entrance they denied us. So they never let us in, we watched the iphone location leave club riv by 2:05 WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. Second thing is dress code. The African American security dress codes someone in our party, for an all black solid ben davis one weekend. We go in, and see other guys with ben davis's, this weekend we go and someone in our party is wearing a " 99 " MESH JERSEY. A non sports jersey. And security makes us take it off for the second time. Dress coded twice for the same things other guys are wearing in the SAME CLUB. read more

Absolutely one of the best clubs I have been to in a very long time! What a vibe. Better than Hollywood. Drinks were amazing as well. My girlfriends and I got a VIP Bottle service and celebrated a birthday. Definitely will be back! Thank you Club Riv! read more

Club Riv - DJ - Dance Clubs Near Me - Riverside, California

This night club is giving beautiful light colors, screens on the ceiling, red carpet, overall great aesthetic. The bar area was well staffed. Dj's were skilled in music transition and Both floors are equally fun. It did not seem to have a strict dress code at this time. This location definitely elevates the Downtown Riverside night life. I would highly recommend this place! read more

Great atmosphere. Vibe is amazing. Check out RIV when in DTR! The drinks are amazing and they have a rooftop!

Hands down, thee worst "club" I have ever been to! My group and I are so bummed that that is where we spent our 2025 new years eve. $35 entry fee per person which was average to clubs nearby. The DJ was TERRIBLE, awful music and mix. Did not know how to transition songs and would go from one genre to another within 10 seconds and ruined the flow and vibe. My group and I love to dance, we know clubs, this place was seriously awful. Drinks were EXPENSIVE and were basically water if you ordered a mixed drink; $15 for a vodka soda aka water. We started ordering drinks in a can so we knew they weren't watered down. The countdown to 2025 was off by like 7 seconds. The employees walking around in their suits were also rude and tacky, walking by and just shoving you to get by. Literally worst experience ever. Would not return here. read more

I come here maybe 2 times a month I started just going to the bar and tipping them instead of getting robbed by the bottle girls Literally so money hungry and annoying Be carful they never come back with your change lol the bottles never pre chilled always hot And the security in the front checking ID make sure you never reciprocate the energy with him because he will not let you in and embarrass you in front of everybody! He's rude and has the biggest ego And the manager with the black hat in the front instead of listening to the customer, just listens to whatever he says so crazy have literally spent so much money in this club just for some guy having a bad day ruining my night if you're trying to go somewhere that has whack drinks good music in a new place. This is the place. Also tip if you're trying to avoid the long line to go upstairs, just give the security guard 100 bucks and he'll let you up read more

This place is fun and drink are a good price definitely come check it out. This is really fun come check it out in the area if you're ever down here read more

Very childish club. They are very unprofessional when it comes to actually handling issues instead of their own ego issues . I was kicked out for not giving their "full 20%" tip most likely . LOL. When asked why I was being escorted out , you couldn't even tell me ... Who tf cares dude , you already charge $17 for a drink and want me to care ab your half naked chicks ? To give em $5 on top is generous enough . Gtfoooo your revenue is clearly good . But most of these clubs are owned by the same people so , kudos crybaby's read more
