    This is located next to the potato corner and has the side corner of Haven City in the IE. The open space is perfect especially to watch the dodger beat the Yankees 2024! Can't wait for them to sweep. Anyways the staff is super friendly and gives great cocktail and beer suggestions ! Definitely come and celebrate sports game and try all the local beer selections and selective high quality drinks!

    In this photo you can see part of the bar and menu they got.

    I've been told native son has the best palomas around so I decided to see for my self and they're on point. I've been there twice and drinks are always good, however, service not much. Theres this guy that took my orders and both times he was like i didnt derve his service. I didnt know sizes, i asked and he pointed at them on a rude way not even speaking to me. Service is key so I left with no tip. Spot is very neat, so many options. Definitely will go back when I don't see that guy at the register.

    Located inside haven city market. From the main entrance head straight back and turn right. It'll be on the far right wall, next to potato corner. Second visit here, service was great. They have a good selection of brews. Menus posted on large digital screens. They also have a screen to watch the game. Registers have tap to pay easy and convenient. Tables and bar area are for patrons only. Don't mind if we do! We were able to enjoy our lunch while trying out a stout. On a busy day there aren't many tables available in the restaurant row communal seating. So it was nice to have a private table inside. Plenty of free parking available. There's also a large patio area or banquet area both first come first serve. Check out the calendar of events to catch some live bands.

    Blonde
    Linh Y.

    First off, I do not drink alcohol normally. Though I have tried it many many blue moons ago in my early twenties. Nowadays, it's not even on my drink list. Anyway, I was at a recent Yelp event in Haven City Market where Native Son offered a sampling of one of their beers called Blonde. For some reason, my intuition said go for it... you only live once... why not now LOL! I was hesitant because I had to drive home and I wouldn't want to be under the influence. Despite of it all, I went for it and I was amazed that the Blonde was so very light in taste... it was almost as though I was drinking a sparkling beer. It was very refreshing indeed. I had to come back and get another Blonde. I was hooked LOL. I better not get too used to it if you know what I mean LOL. A big cup for $8.00 is not bad at all. For some reason, this time around... my Blonde was a bit heavier in taste. I can taste the slight bitterness in the beer compared to last time. I was still okay to drive though. Will I get the Blonde for a 3rd time? I don't know... maybe once in a while, but not all the time. Gotta watch my belly fat LOL. The lady who poured me the Blonde was very sweet. Great staff and service all around. This bar is located in the perfect spot right in the back corner. It has a very relaxing and laid back ambiance. Nice place to wind down and have some drinks with friends after work. Happy Hour Time!

    High end beer in plastic cups; that is disappointing.
    Erwin M.

    Pretty simple here. Good beer selections from IPAs, reds, stouts, and nitro pours. The price is a little high but when you want a high end beer, you're pretty much at their mercy. The big drawback for me is being served the beer in a plastic cup like I'm at a baseball game. If you're gonna charge high end price for a beer, have the decency to provide the beverage in glass. The tabletop seating is small; not good for groups with lots of food. The barstools are uncomfortable but serve their purpose. Servers behind the bar are quick with their pours in a professional manners. Lots of TVs to view any sporting event you want. Overall, good beer, good service, average seating, high prices, bad presentation, and good TVs.

    one adult smoothie with two straws please

    ADULT SMOOTHIES! That's what we call them. Sunday fun day with any margarita is perfect. Service is quick and seating is limited.

    The tap list!!
    Rae Ann D.

    We love native son! We try to go at least twice a month and try new beers. The list of beers on tap is always so good. Small and larger breweries featured! The bartenders always usually recommended something too, and help to decide from the 20 something beers on tap they have. The vibe inside is awesome because it's in Haven City Market kinda tucked away in the far corner but we live the ambiance for a small quaint little place. I gave 4 stars though because some bartenders are more friendly than others, for instance the bartenders last night (Tuesday night) were super awesome and gave great recommendations!!! Try to at least go to Haven City Market but really go here for Native son! They also have happy hour specials and certain days of the week they have specials too!

    Did I just find my new favorite bar? Yup! Saturday night and I don't want to get dressed up but I want a good drink and yummy food. Found it! First time here, ordered my favorite drink Penicillin and they know how to make it!!!! Yay! Soooo good. My husband ordered an Old Fashioned and he was impressed. He also ordered The Mexican Firing Squad which is great if you love Tequila. They have a Holiday Market today so I'm gonna do some shopping and eat some yummy food here at Haven City. P.S. Bartender is great! They have locations in Santa Ana and L.A.

    The bartenders are very friendly and approachable, which I love whenever I go into a busy location with a bar

    I just got carded lol!!!!  :D.

    I finally made it to their week day Happy Hour, Monday-Friday, 3-6pm on a Thursday late afternoon with some of my Inland Empire buddies. I first learned about 'Native Son,' from attending a former Zoom Yelp Event that Yelp hosted during the beginning part of the Pandemic years. Native Son offer Cocktail drinks at $8 per drink during Happy Hour. The plastic cup came in a pretty good size. When the ice cubes started melting, the drink tasted more like lime juice so wasn't as strong as the beginning several sips of this Margarita I ordered. My friends don't normally know me as a drinker, but I do drink, Only socially as such!!!! Yummmm, especially with a nice crowd of friends. The cashier, per my receipt shown, Jeffrey I came across was friendly and so was the bartender. I didn't catch just the bartender's name though. She was chatty enough answering my questions about their Happy Hour offerings just to double check! My purchase today also came with some beer brand stickers and a drink holder. They don't serve food during Happy Hours (I also double checked with the cashier upon ordering), but the Margarita I ordered was delish!!!! Ok, it's Now time to water down the Margarita!

Located adjacent to Native Son, Raffael's is a step into a…read moreSouthwestern vibe where guests can relax with their drinks away from the lively atmosphere of HCM. One of the coolest things about a speakeasy is the transition into the space. Here, there's a walkway and corner, then turn into the candle and subtle lit space. It's a small thing? But that bit of walk helps distance the mind and feel open to the special space. There is a bar with seating, a long high top, and bench & table booth-ish type seating. The colors are warm, reminiscent of sitting in a western sunset. Music plays - jazzy, alternative, happy music. We were greeted and seated by the friendly hostess, then welcomed warmly by the magic maker himself: the bartender! And what delightfully unique, and dare I say daring, concoctions he made! The cocktails each had a spin, an ingredient, something *different* from the norm, making it challenging for my friend and I to narrow down which delights to try! Even the popcorn was unique, with chili and nutritional yeast savoriness that was the perfect complement to our cocktails. My friend felt the Silver Cloud was quite the adult version of a smoothie dessert! She got ideas...I adored my Last Word. It was refreshing with the green chartreuse and incredibly not-put-down-able. Next up, she had the Bandolier. It was a very unique taste to her, pretty puckery, so the bartender - who checked on us regularly for impressions - added a bit more pineapple. That did the trick! My next was the Boulevardier, which was uniquely and deliciously twisted with the coffee and salt. Absolute yum!!! Even though there's a 90 minute limit, on this Thursday night there was plenty of space between imbibers, and we weren't pressured in any way to move along. Thank you, as we were due for a proper catch up. One thing we did notice, is that once there were more folks chatting and laughing, it became a bit echo-y and harder to hear. On a busier night, I imagine the ambience we first experienced- quieter, mellow, chill vibe - likely changes to more robust and lively. Either way, this place is a feels-far-away retreat worth "traveling" to.

The music isn't too loud which was nice as well. My wife and I tried several drinks between the two of us. All of them were very good. The staff were friendly and personable. Be aware that you may want to use the restroom prior to entering. If you have to use the restroom while inside, you'll have to exit outside and walk back into the market space to use one. This is a bar only, so plan accordingly to eat as there are no food items to order inside. 10/10 would recommend and my wife and I were glad we stopped in. This will be our go to local cocktail bar from now on.

We were greeted and seated immediately! Service was very efficient- our waitress brought us water and took our order within 5 minutes of being seated :) Kitchen was quick too, as our "frachos" and sandwich arrived really soon after placing our order Everything was wonderful! My friend said the seasoning on the "frachos" was good, and I said it could be the gochujang sauce. We laughed at the shape of how the potatoes were cut (maybe peeled?), as it was unexpected haha. It had the perfect ratio of fries to beef to toppings (red chili peppers, red onion, cilantro)! My friend got full from half of his sandwich, as it was packed with a lot of protein! Interior is pretty, and I personally enjoyed that the lighting was dim. It was actually really quiet for being/having a bar. Though I will add that the restroom was kinda dirty, and another customer and I joked about how there was no paper towels to dry our hands LOL Overall, nice experience!

We used to get healthy size wings, now they are tiny little wings. On top of that they came out dry and with barely any sauce. We were given extra sauce on the side, but it just didn't hit the spot.

The Lanai is located in the Cravings food court area at The Station shopping center in Eastvale. There is plenty of parking available. We went inside to the Shuck Oyster bar and entered The Lanai from there. It is actually more of a tiki patio than an enclosed tiki bar. However, the tiki décor is great with plenty of bamboo, carved tiki figures, hanging puffer fish, tiki style signs, and many tropical accents. There are overhead fans spaced around in case it is hot outside. We had one round of drinks and several appetizers. The coconut shrimp and lightly battered Shishito peppers were great and the sauces paired well. We have had these appetizers at Stowaway before and they had the same good quality. She ordered the spicy tofu bites. I'm not usually a fan of tofu, but they were surprisingly really good. I had the Adrian's Mistake cocktail which was well balanced and a little on the strong side. She had the Right Of Passage which was good and had a light fruit flavor and you could definitely taste the mango. The one man show Brandon took great care of us. It was slow at this time of day so we got a chance to chat with him quite a bit and service was fast. They have a weekday happy hour from 4pm to 6pm. Although we didn't specifically order off the happy hour menu, three of our items, including both cocktails were part on it. I give it 4.3 stars but rounded up to five stars. I'm sure the ambience is much better in the evening when it more lively and dark outside. They have a good variety of munchies, and the cocktail menu has a good mix of tiki classics and some originals. I don't think there any many tiki bars in this area, so I hope they do well.

No fries, tater tots, sweet potato fries, Brussels sprouts, or even the mozzarella sticks are actually vegetarian-safe because they're all cooked in beef fat--which is just wild for things like cheese sticks and veggies. Yes, they offer Impossible patties, but most people expect to pair a burger with potato sides, and that simply wasn't possible here. Your only real options are pasta, mac and cheese, or salads. I completely respect restaurants having their own cooking style, but it would've been nice to have at least a few genuinely vegetarian-friendly comfort sides available.
