Pros: Alcohol is affordable Great bartender (Erick) - friendly/ welcoming. Cons: Male cover charge. Restroom - porta potty was a plus, reduced restroom wait time, until it got removed. read more

My friend used this place to supply alcohol and bartender for a host bar for her daughters wedding in the Mitten Building behind it. 1. They had 3 different plans for alcohol and she choose one and the bartender didn't have the alcohol she specified and he had no idea what the plan she ordered was. 2. He was charging everybody including us which one round of Kettle One was $18 for 2 drinks. THIS IS A HOST BAR! My friend found out later and was fuming. He later did not charge...I think he was just pocketing the money. 3. Three people found glass in the drinks. I do not know where the glass was from but the bartender shrugged it off like it was no big deal 4. They ran out of Coronas. 5. Host bar was suppose to be until 8pm but bartender started packing up at 6:45...until my friend gave him the riot act. read more

The bouncer wouldn't let me in because my t-shirt was white, despite wearing a sport coat and dressy boots, I apparently wasn't classy enough for this establishment; though the bouncer chose to display no class at all in the way he informed me that I was not going to be allowed in. No white t shirts? What? read more

On the 23rd of march 2018 my girlfriend, myself and a group of my friends decided to bring a friend here for his birthday. The night was pretty fun here besides how long the line was for the bathroom. When they closed though that was when everything began to go down hill. We were all beimg Forced by these wannabe rent-a-cop security guards that thought they was all that because they had tasers. Our friend was ensuring members of our group made it safely to there cars when one security decided to forcefully move him. When my friend started walking away mad so he yelled at the security and thats when they started pulling tasers out, for no solid reason, and threatened to shoot my friend with it. So I recommend anyone wanting to experience this place be ready to deal with some lame rent-a-cop guards with crappy egos. read more

Seriously, don't even bother. The restroom accommodates one person only, the venue is tiny (you walk in and you can either go straight for a few feet or turn around and head out), the people allowed inside were billigerent drunks and I can keep on going... I'm not looking for an upscale or even a classy bar. BUT I sure wasn't looking forward to people staring each other down or even WANTING to throw down (which I heard a couple of girls say they would do). Ugh. WTF is up with all these young college kids?! Needless to say, I will never go back here. read more

It was an okay experience, but I prefer other places in downtown Redlands. We entered through the outside and I thought it was interesting that it was half outside and half inside. The bar outside said cash only so I went inside to order drinks there. I was with my boyfriend who was driving and didn't want to drink. The bartender said we could only use our card if it was a two drink minimum...what?? So I didn't end up ordering a drink because I was already buzzing and didn't want to walk around with two drinks in my hands. The bartender was pretty rude to us because I told him that my guy was driving and couldn't drink. I feel that a bar establishment should take cards too, makes it way more handy for me not to carry cash around while bar hopping. The bathroom lines were crazy long and the music seemed inconsistent. The bouncers gave one of my girl friends a hard time for someone giving her trouble so we decided to just leave. read more

This place is a hit or miss, and although it's full or bros, bro hos and the like, I still frequent this place. WHY? Cause it's the only place that has a dancefloor that doesn't require me driving out to fullerton or LA for. I've been here when it's super crowded and I've been here when me and my friends were the ONLY ones in the joint besides the bartender.. which is fine by me I have fun where ever I go, and I'll dance regardless if there's people on the dance floor. The bartenders are usually good, drinks are strong, they're cheap, and the guy usually gives me and my friends free shots. Plus he's a cutie face. They play hiphop most days, but I've gone here when NO ONE was here and they were playing some whack music so my friend gave them a CD with songs to play and they did...so we all danced...by our selves.. and we had a drunk good ass time. Of course, there's the occasional fight, the bathroom lines are ridic, and the venue is small, but your expectations should NOT be high when you're still in the the Inland Empire. read more

I eat before in the Restaurant that is located next to this place. The food was good. I have not have the chance to go back there. My life is Different now. I do have tried the Chicken Wings. it was very tasty, I do not know if this restaurant still around but if i am in the area i will tried other things in the menu read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. The boiler room was always my "go-to" spot for a $2 Tuesday until last night. I went out for my birthday and regretted it. The boiler room used to be such a great bar/place to dance and now it is by far the definition of "ratchet." 1. The line to get in was ridiculously long, come on this isn't Vegas. 2. Not one, not two but three fights broke out all before 1am. After the first fight broke out the employees made everyone evacuate. As this was happening, the additional fights broke out. There were gun shots, people running, hiding and compete chaos. There were people driving and speeding out of the parking lot driving recklessly. It was an unsafe environment for everyone and the employees did nothing for all of their customers. I am never going back to The Boiler Room again. read more

What can I say... This is the worst bar to go to. So gross and security is a joke. I was talking to a guy name Devind who is security there and he gave me something that wont go away now. The drinks are weak and all the play is ghetto music. If you like that then this is your spot. People spit on the dance floor which isn't even big If any women are reading this I would stay away from that security guard Devind unless you want to catch something. He works there on the weekends so if you need him he is there or if you want to confront him just show up. He is a good looking security but he thinks he can do whatever he wants and get away with it. Just be careful when you go there it isn't safe. Never go to the bathroom alone!!! The entrance is in an alley now that isn't safe at all. Never go to your car alone and once it is pass 2a the security kicks you out of there parking lot even when you are waiting for an uber or Lyft. Be careful especially if you are a women. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A SHOOTING OUT THERE IN REDLANDS. GOOGLE IT NOT SAFE!!! read more

I used to go here all the time before I took my brother in, but I was suddenly raising a teenager 7 years younger than myself. Now, with him out on his own and the Covid crisis subsiding, I'm 29... I thought I'd go back for nostalgia, convincing my friend to come with. This could have been a 5-star for real. ^_^' But it was waaaay different. First up, they frisk you now. I thought, okay, things change right? Whatever... So the girl is patting me down, squeezing my pockets, sees my nervousness I guess, and starts trying to escalate an argument... "So you feel weird being searched?" .. "Umm yeah I guess a bit" ... "Why do you find it weird? Many places do it rn. so why?" ... "Wait wha?" ... "I'm asking you a question." .. "Huh... well we just came from The Vault. They weren't doing it. I used to come here all the time back in the day. This is new to me." ... "You're acting weird. "... "Well, I mean... Do you want to check me again? I don't understand" ... "No but you're acting like this isn't normal".. "Well yeah! I'm just trying to comply and you're like.." ... "I'm what? huh?".... "I complied with you and you're just flexing at me" This went on for a few more exchanges before I realized I was getting agitated, but I didn't want to take the bait. I walked in, it was dead for a Saturday.. so was The Vault tonight, but I think it just disturbed me. To be felt up for a legitimate reason was weird enough.. but even more so getting frisked by a young kid flaunting her authority on people. Many of others I'm sure deal with the public the same as they do. (I used to clerk a liquor store. I get it).. but when you're just looking to escape the workday and get a drink, especially after a grueling pandemic shutdown.... It was that jarring. tl;dr.. I don't think I'll return, and I'll recommend somewhere else to my friends from now on. Love my memories from The Boiler Room, but it's just not the same. I just feel violated. read more

This place is the definition of ratchet. Guys have to pay $5 and I don't even think that's worth it. You have a security guy by restroom, who was knocking on the door to tell me to hurry up, literally 30 seconds after I walked in, yet there's no security to watch the "dance floor" There was a guy FINGERING a girl in the middle of the dance floor as she was trying to pull his hand away, that's when I decided to leave and tell security, who laughed when I told him. Drinks are over priced, not much space to dance. Unless you're 23 yrs old or younger don't even bother with this place. Two starts cause I feel bad leaving just one. read more

Great place to just hang out, drink and be goofy with friends. We always have a lot of fun here. The staff is friendly and the bartenders are awesome! Music is good, people are nice, it's a cool spot for lots of locals. Last time I was there, they also had a taco lady there, although I didn't get a chance to try the tacos they smelled really tantalizing. read more

They dont accept anything other than drivers liscense and passports!!! WTF!! Some guy even told me they wont accept military ID, why? They served our country and deserve to drink and have a good time too. Anyway we all went as a group and one person in our group has a mexican ID cuz someone stole her drivers liscense a couple days ago. So they refused to let her in, well we went to royal falconers and vault martini bar instead much better places to go instead!! read more

Came here twice so far this year 2019 and both times I've had some wild experiences! From security at the door to people in-between and bar tenders all great encounters both at random times on a Saturday night ... first off security is not your typical uptight meat heads with you at all. act like an asshole and you'll get that from them when needed lol all the way from big Johnson securing the restroom thots and in between with the boss ass male female guards at the entrance. even left my id and cc one night & had no problem retrieving it the very next day Sunday from Eric 1&2 and Richard read more

Devon and Richard (whoever worked,Th the 12th), made sure that we had a great time. They were attentive and so friendly. All our drinks were properly made and they made sure to check on us everytime we came to the bar. Definitely would recommend 100%. will be back the next time we hit up Redlands. read more

This place is getting way too crowded nowadays and too many idiots are being let in and in turn causing too much drama. In one night, I have had 3 drinks spilled on me resulting in a wet foot/shoe and a total wet back and witnessed 2 fights. One of those fights resulted me receiving a cigarette burn to my hand accidentally because a friend was pulling me to avoid getting trampled on. The only upside was being with good company and the semi-good music. read more

There are a couple good things and a couple bad things about this place. So, let's start with the bad... As a previous reviewer wrote, this place is full of bros and bro hos, but that is to be expected of all the nightlife in Redlands. This is the hardest bar downtown to get a drink if you're not a girl. I just don't have the breasts to get good service I guess. The bouncers often think they are some sort of important authoritative figure as if no one liked them when they were younger and now they have a little bit of rejection power. Oh yea, the drinks are expensive. The good? Well, they have a DJ and it's like a many club so, if you like to dance or are wondering where there is a more equal ration of women to men then it's a good place to be. I for one think the bad out weighs the good and would rather go somewhere else. read more

Worst bar ever! It has a great idea of indoor and outdoor, but it's basically dead before 12 and then the music is so so. I saw some dude out kicked out for no reason and he went quietly but still bothered me. Everything is up to the bouncers, and trust me they are on a power trip. Also bartender was super rude so I didn't tip him. read more

The Boiler Room has boiled over. I've been a few times and it has gone from a pretty cool local bar to a sh*t hole that thinks Redlands is the new Hollywood. Newsflash Hollywood is and will always be the only Hollywood. The last time I was there they had some douchebag bouncers (bouncers?) That just had everyone standing in line for no reason. I'm not one for standing in line, especially here. When I saw them let more guys than girls.... actually they turned away girls, I was like I'm over it and left. Id rather go to the dirty bird. read more

Okay, about a year ago I hated this place. It use to be a bad place to be but it's changed. It has better staff, better drinks and better music. The dance floor is nice and the fire pit os good for the cool night. Honestly, it's a pretty good spot to end the night at. read more

The Boiler Room - edm night flyer - Bars Near Me - Redlands, California

Went here for a Saturday night. All I can say is RUDE and INCONSIDERATE. The staff, especially the security, are very unwelcoming. They are clearly not trained to handle customers. By 1:30 they turned the lights on and yelled at everyone to get out. Did I forget to mention they only have one bathroom per gender? And the men's toilet was clogged. The entire aisle leading to the bathrooms was wet (back flush from the toilet aka urine). DISGUSTING. And the bouncer at the bathroom kept making unnecessary remarks about people. BTW, he was wearing this tiny bulletproof vest. I found that hilarious. Anyways, I'd avoid this place like the plague if I were you. PS. Be careful when you are leaving this spot late at night. Police are waiting for you right outside so chill in the parking lot until you are sober or head to Denny's down the street. read more

This place has only 1 bathroom for EVERYONE to use! Good luck trying to pee! It'll take you about 20 min just to use the bathroom!!!!!! Don't recommend read more

This place probably has THE WORST bouncers ever! Saying that they were extremely rude is an understatement. They literally take the drinks from your hands and fling them to the side with no care if they hit bystanders. They also grab you, shove you and yell at your face if you're not leaving the place as fast as they want you to. They also THREATEN YOU! One bouncer was yelling at my friend that if he doesn't get going then he's gonna bring other bouncers to "take care of him". My friend was literally just waiting for another friend to catch up with the group. He wasn't drinking or yelling, just standing to the side. Super uncalled for. I should have reported it to the police but it was just so chaotic at the time. There's bouncers by the bathroom and they stopped letting people in at 1:00am!!! What kind of club closes their bathrooms so early?! Oh another thing, they won't only kick you out of the place but also out of the parking lot. My friends and I were waiting for our Uber to pick us up in the parking lot when 2 bouncers came and started pushing us out and they made us go to another lot. And, it's supposed to close at 2am but they started kicking everyone out at 1:20am. The only nice people there were the bartenders. I wish I got his name but the tall guy with a beard was very friendly and helpful with drink recommendations so props to him for being the only person there with common decency. NEVER EVER GO HERE. Unless you want to be treated horribly. If I could give less than one star rating I would because it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a club. read more

I've gone here a couple of times with my man and his friends that grew up in Redlands. Apparently, it's a total high school reunion for them, even though they graduated 10 years ago. That's kinda sad. Maybe it's just not what I'm used to or maybe I'm too bougie but it's just super ghetto here. It's super casual almost like a back yard party. It's crazy hot inside, the drinks are tiny, and the bathroom is disgustingly dirty. I saw one girl go in the bathroom with like 5 guys...ewww! Fear for your safety too. I've seen fights here a few times. The only bonus is that the music is good, hip hop and top-40. I can't believe I'm actually admitting that I've been here. It's sad. read more

Walked and immediately was aggressively confronted by a young security guard.... was very rude and looked ready to fight.... I am an adult and probably twice his age.... I felt completely disrespected and walked.... goodbye Boiler Room read more

Wow! I'm really surprised by the low ratings on this place, but whatever! I went last sunday after checking out from a wedding next door and i really enjoyed it. The drinks were cheap and strong, which is pretty much the most important thing for me when i go out. Music was cool (Top 40). But what I really liked was the huge space outside. Smokers should appreciate this. I don't smoke but i like the air; i really like drinking outdoors. Cheap, strong drinks and fresh AIR! Like i said I went late Sunday evening so there really wasn't a crowd there. I talked to a couple people and they said on friday and saturday the night the place is over crowded and hard to move around. read more

I'm going to recreated my experience at "the boiler room" in my house. Have a long line outside of my house.( with one or two bouncer a course) Have 90 heads in my garage.(everybody else in the backyard) pull out my laptop load up virtual DJ (that right top 40 to night) have a line in my hallway to go to the bathroom(seriously I'm a guy 15min to go to the bathroom) buy a keg and mix some drinks in my kitchen (the alcohol is the only redeeming thing here) Who down to party!!!! read more

This is a nice looking bar with an outside patio in front, a big bar, plenty of seats and a dance floor. However... it's just not my thing. The music is wack, the crowd is mixed, and there is only one bathroom (one for each gender). The bathroom line can be long, with about 10-15 people sometimes! I guess the upsides could be that the drinks are seemingly cheap (well, I've only had a Ciroc shot there which costs $8), nice area, and no cover. But with the overall vibe, it is just a weird place for me... and not my kind of deal. When it comes to DTR bars, I prefer the Vault. read more

The Boiler Room - room full of beauties... -_- - Bars Near Me - Redlands, California

See all

Another local hangout, good when your with groups of friends otherwise it can feel dead because of the mosh pit that this becomes. If you know the bartenders the service is pretty good otherwise you'll need to practice your magic tricks to get noticed. semi-high bro factor - 0.5 star semi-high reunion factor - 0.5 star bathroom lines can suck.. if your a girl, guys there are plenty of bushes just outside the entrance. read more

There is a reason this bar is quite literally wedged between the Mitten building and the end of the filthy alley way behind the "The Bird" ... because it sucks! They play their crappy music too loud and charge way too much for their booze. The only people that go there are either too drunk to know better or are the retards that think their cool because they're hanging out in a bar that is located in an alley. There are lots of choices on the Redlands Crawl and this place should be the last, if at all. Burn in Hell Boiler Room! read more

I've been to the boiler room several times. I love it, I can't believe this place doesn't have that many good reviews but oh well - The DJ here is MAD DOPE! I live in L.A. and have been to several clubs and rarely do I ever hear a good DJ playing good music. I love this place just because of the DJ - I don't know how much are the drinks because I've never paid here - My sister always pays :) but I really really love this place. read more

This is my favorite spot to go to with my friends 1 because even though its usually pretty busy we always get fast service and 2 because there isn't just a regular bartender there but one that does all these cool flips and tricks with bottles and he makes the best drinks there.... its a nice change from all the other bars out here we go to and better service read more

It was ok drinks were pretty good and not watered down so that's a plus. They do keep the doors open so it gets cold
