It's just off one of the Main Street. I haven't spent anytime in this city so everything was all new to me. We found street parking right out front but did noticed when we got inside that they had a parking lot out back. The place isn't that big. A dive bar of sort but was quite nice. One side is the bar and counter while the other side host three pool tables. There's also a couple of hi top table in the middle. They did offer happy hour everyday from 4-8 pm with free pool. And free pool Tuesday Thursday and Sunday all day. Drinks specials offered as well. We only popped in for a drink which was glad to know that happy hour was happening. The bartender behind was sweet. It wasn't that busy when we walked in. Bartender and a couple people utilizing the pool table. It was pretty chill but I'm sure it can get busy later on in the evening. Drinks specials offered were quite nice for the price. We also tried their spicy margaritas which was great. Bartender knows his skills. Also, a quick round of pool. The vibe was mellow and chill. Don't know if the music changes often but it was somewhat metal that was going on when we walked in. Crowd was great as they were all there for the same reason. Drinks and pool. Overall, it was a cool place for a pint and pool. Somewhere people meet up for drinks.

The…read morevibe/ambiance was great, drink selection is good (beer and hard a), the people/customers/staff are great, and they have karaoke for all the singers out there. Instead of buying a shot or two, you can buy whole bottles here. The only downside (if you can call it that) is the noise level, the karoake/music is very loud. It was very hard for my buddies and me to hear each other from just across a normal-sized dining table. We have to yell at each other to talk. Whenever I want to stay local, hangout and drink, I'll be back here.

I like this place because of its prime SGV location, and it's clean for a bar scene. For a night out in SGV it's a cute place. A lot of good food and drink. This is a good place to throw a party for 100+ people. The prices were reasonable. They decorated so nicely, the music was good, and the people were nice and sociable. I've been coming here about once or twice a week... clearly I like this place. And their tasty soda xi muoi drink makes me keep on coming back. :)

For a Friday night, it wasn't overly busy. There was about ten people there. It's outdoors with tables and chairs. Also a jute box with mostly "banda" music. It's cash only. They only offer beer. I got Modelo Negra. $4 each. There was a regular here named Gina that was really friendly. She came to our table to say hi and said she confused us for friends of hers. She ended dancing with my friend and later danced with me. She mentioned that the bar is "gay" friendly and nobody cares. I felt the same way about the place. All the people in the bar where middle aged Hispanic people. I did like that they didn't really stop people from dancing. I miss dancing a lot. Overall I plan on coming back.

I asked for an order of elote fries and she completely ignored me and walked away. Our drinks and food came out, but no fries. I went up to the bar where she and an Asian guy were making drinks. I stood there for a couple minutes waiting to be helped and both of them walked by me without saying a word. When I finally asked about the fries, she told me nobody placed the order. I told her I literally asked her for the fries at the table and she ignored me. Instead of apologizing, she just said "okay" and walked away. Making a mistake is one thing. Acting like you don't care and refusing to take any responsibility is another. Nobody apologized, nobody tried to make it right, and the attitude was awful the entire time. Definitely won't be back.

Two weeks before my event, I texted Danny to confirm that everything was good and to go over final details. He completely ghosted me--day after day--until Sunday the week before my event. That's when he finally responded and told me he had double-booked my date. He then tried to blame a "booking agent," even though I booked with him directly and paid him directly. To make it worse, he tried to send me to a different location 20 minutes away. After being ignored for weeks and having to chase him down myself, I had zero confidence trusting him again. The worst part? He still has not returned my deposit. Despite canceling on me, he has refused to give my money back, leaving me with no choice but to pursue legal action just to recover what I'm owed. This was extremely unprofessional, stressful, and costly. If you're planning an event, be very careful. Based on my experience, this business cannot be trusted to honor bookings or communicate responsibly.

This past year we stopped coming as often as the drink prices have gone up and the pours given have gone down. It doesnt make sense to buy cocktails here anymore when we can go to other nearby establishments that charge the same if not less than what Dos Rios charges now. I understand you have to make a profit, but your clientele doesnt want to pay top dollar for a drink with barely any alcohol in it. Or buy a beer for the same price we can get one at a nice bar or restaurant in uptown Whitter or at a nearby brewery. The ONLY reason we support Dos Rios now is because of Sean. He has been awesome all of these years. It sucks because we really used to love coming to this place. I hope things change.
