Kristy is a great bartender here at ringside @sassysocaligrl28 shealways makes sure to acknowledge everyone at the bar and get everyone taken care of. While understaffed I have to start by saying that some of the other reviews just aren't factual and don't explain the full situation at times. Some nights there just isnt enough coverage nights like last friday where there was 50 customers in the bar and Krisrty was literally the only bartender on the floor (one of only two total). She was covering the entire bar by herself -- serving drinks, taking orders, running tabs -- and still doing her absolute best to take care of everyone. Including the birthday party that came in. People need to stop using this platform to tear down hardworking people who are clearly doing everything they can in tough situations. Every customer service business has days where they're short-staffed due to call-outs, sickness, or family emergencies. That's real life. What matters is how the staff handles it -- and she handled it with professionalism, hustle, and a great attitude. I watched her stay calm, keep things moving, and make sure everyone was acknowledged. No one was ignored. She worked nonstop. On top of that, the entire team stepped up. I even saw kitchen staff come out and deliver food orders to help keep things flowing. That says a lot about the kind of team this place has. I've been to Ringside Bar multiple times, and they consistently go above and beyond to take care of their customers and make sure things are done right. One tough night due to being understaffed doesn't define a business -- how they show up during that tough night does. Huge respect to that bartender and the entire team. Hardworking people deserve recognition, not criticism, when they're doing everything they can. Let's make sure that we are showing love to literally a bar that was built to be a spot for the local community great food, drinks and atmosphere. read more

Went on a Sunday night and what a chill bar to be at!! Security is great and actually take care of you and your car outside! Drinks were awesome, our bartender over charged us accidentally so always make sure to double check, but he was super super cool about it. Food was pretty good for a bar, it was actually GOOD for a bar. My hubby got carne asada fries and they were super packed and flavorful. Maybe missing a little extra sauce so salsa but that's because I like it saucy but still super good! read more

Just left this bar. Hispanic chick at the bar has a nasty attitude and doesn't know how to engage. I ordered 10 wings. She brings out 5 wings in one flavor and 1 wing in the other flavor. When I asked her where the other 4 were she immediately got an attitude and said I had an attitude. Will not be back! It's giving insecure!!! read more

Ringside Bar & Grill - Well vodka, pineapple and cranberry. Tall Pacifico - Sports Bars Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

Had to finally sit down and write this one up, and I'm glad I am doing it now. As a special events bartender, the demand with work has been hectic lately, with having to travel around, and I wish I could have made it here sooner to soak in more of the vibe during my visit. We rolled into town on Thursday, October 2nd, 2025, just in time for Thursday Night Football. What a game! Rams versus 49ers, and the energy in this place was to the top. Even though I'm not from around here, I felt right at home with the good drinks, great atmosphere, and the game blowing up the screens. Everyone was on the edge of their seats, and you could tell the mood was just right. I was in town from the San Fernando Valley, yikes! , for a wedding I was bartending at the next day. Our AirBnB was nearby, and since I was working that Friday, I figured I'd swing by a day early to avoid the traffic and get a feel for the local scene. Honestly, stumbling into this place was a win. The interior is spacious, decked out with boxing and fighting memorabilia that totally spoke to my love for the sport. You don't see many bars dressed up like this, so I'd say it's pretty much one of a kind. TRUST! The vibe at the bar was super chill, and Vanessa, the bartender, was just the right mix of friendly and attentive. She kept everything flowing smoothly, and the drinks hit the spot. The setup at the bar top feels like you're sitting ringside, which is a clever touch. Also, security was on point, so just have your ID ready. What really caught my eye was all the sports stuff around, like a Kobe Bryant poster behind one of the doors. It's clear this place is all about celebrating the game, and I dig that. It's a spot I'd definitely come back to when I'm in the area again. Glad I got to experience it, and I'm already looking forward to returning. Cheers! read more

5-stars for Kristin! @www.instagram.com/krissstiinx84 She is a true professional. The bar was packed, yet she was quick, attentive, and made fantastic drinks. She has a great personality and manages to make every guest feel seen, even during a rush. Her attention to detail is unmatched." read more

The server did not acknowledge us at all. I had to go to the bar to order. She was either on her phone or talking to guys at the bar. I did not the service today. read more

Kristy the bartender at ringside truly goes above and beyond every time I visit. She isn't just bartending -- she's also serving, waitressing, and basically running the whole floor without missing a beat. Her attitude stays positive, her service is fast and friendly, and she keeps everything moving smoothly even when it's clearly a lot for one person to handle. I'm honestly amazed she hasn't burned out with how many hats she's wearing at once. She deserves real recognition for her work ethic and professionalism. Management should definitely consider adding more staff to support her -- she's doing an incredible job, but no one should have to carry that much alone. Highly recommend coming in and experiencing her great service. read more

The blonde bartender w/ uneven hair extensions was RUDE AF! I understand they were kinda busy but she told us to hurry up and order because she was busy which it's understandable but when she left she was all talking to a man at the bar and all happy wasting time! Like girl if you didn't want to take my order because we were girls you could've just told us! and that's exactly why you didn't get a tip! read more

Me and my husband went for dinner, started off great. Ordered our appetizers and drinks. Drinks strong but good, not complaining. Lol appetizers great! Ordered the Philly cheese steak and it was crazy salty. Had to flag down the waitress a few times, even though there were only 6 people in there. Came for happy hour and got over charged. Love the decor, great music, just wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You wont get the service you deserve. read more

Ringside Bar & Grill is definitely worth a visit if you have not already stopped by! It's so hard to find genuinely nice people these days. I have been by here on a couple of occasions and the staff all seem to be both humble and welcoming. This vibe seems to be contagious because a fellow patron made this very comment on my last visit. The food has come out quickly and was also very delicious. My Canelo burger was bomb; I would surely recommend and would definitely order again! I will have to say, the very thing that impressed me the most, is not something someone would generally notice or probably ever mention. I can't stress enough, how much I really appreciated the emphasis on safety for us ladies!!! Multiple male staff members asked our crew if we were okay throughout our stay when some guys were lingering and getting a "little closer" in proximity. It just goes to show they are paying attention and are concerned. John was a true gentleman and even walked me to my car at the end of the night to ensure my safety. Thank you, Ringside for another wonderful experience. read more

This place was has a nice new look and feel. I don't drink alcohol and just went for the burger. It was good but the price was high.

I want to take a moment here and recognize Johnny for his amazing work. Love this place, has good vibe and food, but Johnny is what makes a difference at this place. He's always very welcoming and definitely makes us feel safe. Very genuine person and funny! I know any time I'm there I will always be taken care of. He's no one to mess with lol but it takes very stupid people to push his buttons. Thank you Johnny for all you do not only for Ringside but for us the customers. Keep kicking butt! read more

It's very modern and have the best Onion Rings I've had in a long time. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are great. I miss the pool tables the former bar had, they could put a couple in one section because there aren't a lot of bars with pool tables around here maybe the VFW or the Moose Lodge do, but you have to be a member or be invited by one to go in. read more
