    This place is amazing! Great selection, fantastic tenders, and the atmosphere was on point. This is definitely my new go-to bar.

    Ripped me off! Bar tenders (not all of them) tend to charge for their own drinks on your tab. Bummer!

    Kristy is a great bartender here at ringside…read more @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.

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!

We constantly see people coming in and out, so we finally decided to give it a shot. Our bartender, Mel. Hopefully I spelled her name right, was super friendly and made us feel welcome. I had the Raspberry Mule, and my wife had the MVP. Both drinks were great! I think it's safe to say we found our new watering hole. We'll definitely be back!

It was a lot of people cheering for Norway and everyone seem to be having a good time. Rather loud with all the tvs and light chatter but the cool AC beats sitting in the outdoor patio. Some seats had reservations on them too. Theres a large couch too for large groups that seem fun with friends. We ordered a beer, ginger ale, chicken wrap with fries, and cauliflower. It was a lot of food for two but the average person that comes here probably appreciates the large portion size. The chicken was coated with sauce and had a spinach tortilla. It was so satiable. The servers were all prompt and seem to juggle many roles like bartending and bussing as well. They were quick to take our order and easy to waive down to ask for a side of pickles since they were always moving around even if they were a few. Two single stall bathrooms. One per gender: Place seems very clean and the bar looks well stocked and organized. Floor was a bit sticky near the bathrooms. I would come again.

    I normally prefer leaving positive feedback, but our Father's Day experience was too disappointing…read moreto ignore. I took my family of four for brunch, expecting their standard $20 per person rate. Instead, we were hit with a hidden price hike of nearly $40 per person. There was no clear signage about the holiday pricing, save for a single TV screen flashing ads too quickly to read. I saw the $20 advertisement on Facebook but am not on Instagram and that was the only place I found (two days later) the advertisement for the price for Father's Day. To make matters worse, the food quality was awful. Everything tasted like it had been sitting there for hours burning in the pans heated below by gas warmers. The biscuits were rock hard, the slider buns were completely dried out, and the bacon was burnt. The pancakes were stale and hard and the pasta/macaroni salad had been sitting out in an uncooled bowl with no lid. I couldn't even finish a plate because of the poor quality. Paying $160 for four people to eat a meal of this quality was completely unacceptable. I've had much better food McDonald's than this. Had the food quality at least matched the price, I likely never would have left this review. This ruined our family celebration, and although this was the first time we ever tried this place, we will not be returning to here again.
