    I love The Craft Lounge! It has a fun vibe. We go to Monday Trivia Night. Jimmy always has a nice variety of beers on tap. You feel welcomed and important! Go, you'll like it! Lots of opportunities to meet folks and try new beer. Creative event nights to enjoy, too! There's something for everyone!

    Had a good time!! The beer was cold and the environment was very inviting. I highly recommend stopping by for a quick beer

    Came out here after a wedding reception and loved the atmosphere and the guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. Cool spot.

    Went to 2 other places in downtown Riverside and walked out service was no good and tables where dirty (River Ranch). Not to mention the rudeness. Came to Craft lounge they know the meaning of customer service. Food is delicious and bartenders and staff are great. Love this place over anyplace.

    Nice outdoor patio. Decent music coming out the speakers. Indoor seating. Too dark during the day for me but I guess bars can be like that. Decent selection. I tried the trail mix speedway. Very full bodied. Only imperial stout at the time. I'm spoiled from Austin breweries.

    Came on a Monday night for trivia with 3 others. They have plenty of beers on tap plus a large selection of bottled and cans. Many are from local breweries. You can order a pint between 7.25-9.75. You can also order 8oz for 4/5.25. Order/pay at the counter and take it to your table. No servers. I had #2 which was pleasant like a mild Sam Adams. My son-in-law had #10. He thought it was good. They didn't have any sodas as they ran out due to a St. Patrick Days weekend. My wife brought her own soda so we were lucky there. We came for trivia night which is on Mondays. Bring some multigenerational friends/relatives so you have a bigger knowledge base. We parked on the street next door but you can park behind the brewery in their lot. We ate before we came but I recommend getting g food at the tent on the sidewalk. It has polished concrete floors and low and high tables. There are many games to take to your table by the front window to play. That would be fun! It's not a huge place nor is it small. There are many tv's to watch your sporting event. There are 2 clean unisex bathrooms. Definitely come! I highly recommend it.

    The Craft Lounge issoooooo littt!! Jimmy and Chris the photographer makes it sooo much fun . Annnnnnd Allly, gives the best hugs ever

    This place is a great place to chill except for the flies. The front door does not stay closed all the way, and there is no fan to keep flies from coming in. Flies landing on me and the table and around my drink. Nasty.

    Sour is delicious!

    This place is clean and modern. The beer and the sours are delicious. The service was great.

    Great place for a great selections of beers and to watch the football games on Sunday. Has NFL ticket and not so crowded only 4 TVs but well worth it to come here as they will do their best to put on the game you want to watch. They do not serve food but it's ok to bring your own or order delivery to here. There is Tucanos Pizza about a half block to walk and pick up an order to go from here.

    Beer on tap with a couple tall cans from their fridge and we filled up our growler!

    This place was perfect!! The customer service and atmosphere (even with covid)!! We walked in and saw endless amounts of different types of canned beer and we were able to taste whatever was on tap! We filled a growler with a double hazy ipa, grabbed a couple tall cans of German Pilsner and then asked to have a 6 pack of their Pilsner canned! It was perfect!! All the beer was delicious and gone by the end of the night. We can't wait to go back and stock up! Even with not too many options to choose from in the area, the quality of beer and flavor was great! I have been to Austin, Temecula, San Diego where craft beer is everywhere and this place can compete!! We will be going back today to stock up!

    Food- they don't offer it, but you can bring in your own! There's a pizza place close by. Drinks- all sort of beers and they have some available to purchase for home as well. I thought that was pretty awesome. Ambience- Very chill and sporty. They have different sports playing on their TVs. Service- Amazing, the guys were friendly and patient when offering their selections.

    This place used to be a lot better before the rebrand. The old setup had more personality, and the…read morenewer look feels a little more generic. It's not bad, it just lost some of what made it stand out. The food is still really solid though, which is why I keep coming back. The aguachile is one of the best things on the menu, super fresh with a good kick, and the tacos are consistently done right. Simple, clean, and you know what you're getting every time. It's a nice sit-down restaurant if you want to actually relax and eat instead of rushing through a meal. Service is usually solid even when it's busy. Fair warning, it gets packed after church and the wait can build up quick, so timing matters if you don't want to sit around. Not the same as it used to be, but still worth it for the food.

    Tacos & Beer has definitely changed, and not for the better. The service was mediocre -- the person…read moretaking our order was very soft-spoken, hard to hear, and pretty short with us. The food was honestly a hard 5 out of 10. The beans and chips were very good, but that was the highlight. It was just my husband and me: I got one shredded beef taco with a side of beans, he got three tacos, and we had two drinks total. The bill came out to $33 and some change, which just didn't feel worth it for the quality. I really wish it lived up to the Tacos & Beer I remember. Even the ambiance wasn't as vibrant as it used to be.

It was big and I thought I couldn't finish it but it was so good that I did. I also loved that they were pet friendly so I got my dog 2 patties (each $4) and she enjoyed it Ambience: there's indoor seating and outdoor patio seating which overlooks the street and lake behind. I really enjoyed sitting outside. Service: was A1. I should've got my servers number but he had glasses and a beard, I think medical and tall with dark hair. He was awesome. Very friendly and attentive. I was also contemplating between 2 beers so he brought out both for me to sample out. This def heightened my experience here I was actually craving a burger so I yelped for 30 min and bookmarked 4 places and kept going back and forth indecisive of where to go, but finally decided to come here and so glad I did. Overall I really enjoyed everything here today for lunch. So much that I recommended it to my friend who has a cabin here. And will recommend to other friends who visit big bear. I will definitely come back.

Their French decor is modern and chic. We were there last night for the first time, and it will not be our last! Anytime you try a pre-fixe menu, you never know what you'll be served but dish after dish, we were impressed by the beautiful presentations and well balanced dishes. Loved and appreciated the chef's creativity of combining French and Asian flavors into every dish. I also chose a wine pairing option for drinks, and was introduced to a beautiful Sauvignon Blanc and Rose. Overall, it was a memorable evening with great food and service, and we are looking forward to visiting them again when they change their next season's menu with our friends. (They change their pre-fixe menu three times a year, according to our waiter) Highly recommend it! Cheers to their chef!

The variety was exciting, complex and elegant; my boyfriend and I shared the duck confit, beef tartare, brioche loaf, French loaf, Japanese Caesar salad, beet&passion fruit salad, and for dessert the affogato and cake&cream. Every single thing was the best flavor I've ever had I ordered the house wine flight and let the bartender create an experience that was full of natural, harmonious flavors. My boyfriend ordered some of the cocktails (brandy old fashioned, thee Aegean) which he shared with me, and they were some of the most creative, immersive flavors I've ever had in a drink.
