The menu may be small, but every item is thoughtfully done and excellent -- quality over quantity. The atmosphere is welcoming, the customer service is outstanding, and the drinks are solid. Consistency keeps us coming back. It's a small spot, so either make reservations or come early to snag a table. Highly recommend if you're in downtown Riverside!

It started with Daniel. He made me a Dealers Choice…read more...... Not only did it taste amazing but, the show that was performed in making it was pure skill. We decided to stay at the bar and just have drinks and appetizers. Tacos, dumplings and cauliflower. Everything was sensational. (Cauliflower was the best of the best) Daniel explained the set up, 3 (or 4) areas that are versatile and classy. I enjoyed the dance area behind us but, was not leaving my seat at the bar. Lol Definitely going back. Can't wait to see what the Dealer makes next time.

What a gem of a place! You wouldn't expect a well decorated interior from the outside streets, but…read moreupon walking in, you'd be pleasantly surprised. 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!

The tacos on the menu for the special was a carne asada taco, a shrimp taco, and a chicken taco. These tacos are on a rotating basis every week. The carne asada was more like shredded beef. Both that one and the chicken taco were good but nothing special. The shrimp one on the hand!!! Now that is one i'd write home about. it came with four shrimp pieces , and the taco shell was fried and perfectly crunchy. I would come back for that one any day! The service for us was interesting. Service was super nice but we weren't helped for a while. i think our seating placement might have been right in the middle of both the servers' territory so there might have been confusion on who was suppose to help us? We were literally in the very center of the half booths lol. Eventually the male server came by and apologied for the wait and was very very attentive to us for the remainder of the time:) alsooooo the taco at The State Redlands are slightly bigger than these so i beleive the Redlands ones are more filling.

I ordered the Bourbon BBQ burger, no complaints, I'd give it a 9/10. The beef was juicy, flavorful tempura onion rings, and generous BBQ sauce. Fries were decent, and plentiful. There was so much food, I had to box up half to eat the next day. Extra thank you to the wonderful staff and accommodating our needs at the last minute.

Lots of space for chilling. Don't be turned away by the entrance, which communicates a small, niche space. 3. If you're expecting a small niche space based on the front entrance, get ready to be surprised by the spaciousness. Trivia: Several breweries claim the spot of first "craft" or "microbrewery." What two breweries, one of which is closed down, start with the letter A claim the title?

I've been here a few times and it never fails to amaze me…read more The owner Gilbert is a great guy super friendly and willing to take time to get to know his customers. They have great doughnuts. My wife loves the cheese cake blueberry one. In fact today leah (forgive me if I spelt your name wrong) made one from scratch after I had said my wife loves them. I'm not even a big doughnut person and I can say they are really good. Better than any run of the mill yum yums or krispy kreme. There aren't many mom & pop stores like this in riverside and it's great to see places like this opening and staying in business like this for over 6 years now. I personally love their coffee! My go to is a caramel macchiato. My wife has worked in countless coffee shops & even she thinks it's great. The espresso they use is amazing. The place is really clean and has a very chic atmosphere. I wish i took pictures but it has a really nice outside patio area. And they even serve alcohol. There is to much to say so i'll stop here.

It has a hot pink sign and has interior and exterior seating options. You can park in parking structures or side streets in order to walk towards this location. On a hot summer day, they were blasting the AC which was super appreciated! We came in to cool off and enjoy a beer, after reading their signs! Of course, we opted for a glazed donut, too. The guy at the front was nice and friendly! Super chill. We took out items and sat towards the side, under their large TV. He switched on the TV and ended up playing the World Cup game!! I had drank a nice and chilled Space Dust IPA from the tap and my partner had a Blue Moon. I was very delighted by their glazed donuts which were massive! For $6, it was bigger than our faces; I'm guessing x3 the size of a regular donut. I enjoyed it because it was sweet, doughy, and perfectly glazed. A twist of a donut shop, but for their variety of drinks, I don't mind it! Loved the experience. Thank you for having us!
