This place is way too cool for me, but I still go. Sorry for bringing down the vibe, but the parking is way too convenient, the servers are way too awesome/kind/attentive, and the cocktails are too delicious! Now they've expanded their food menu, things are improving. they have great non-alcoholic options for those who want that. No kids allowed (learned that the hard way!). read more

2nd time going to this place and what a disappointment. Ordered 2 burgers and the meat was hot but the buns were cold. They did not bother to warm them so when i took a bite the buns fell apart. There were 3 waitresses and had nothing to do because it was early but never came by to see how everything was. We waited a long time to get the check as well and had to take them the bill to them to charge us because they never came by to pick up the payment. What a joke. I would understand it if they were busy, but they were not. read more

Service was friendly and they seemed to help each other out. The paying part was super easy as they digitally have your seat so you can pay separately without a discussion with your group. I got the dear Elenor and it was delicious! It was refreshing and not too sweet (a lot of mocktails tend to be) and it was so good I got two! We sat outside and it was warm with the heaters however at end of evening did get chilly. I recommend bringing a jacket if staying later. Good music but super loud- sometimes hard to hear the person across the table. The deviled eggs weee yummy, not super flavorful but I was ok with that. The Brussel sprouts were a hit! Fun assortment of holiday drinks. they can't make adjustments on some drinks because they are batch made. There are two bathrooms outside and the wait got long for a while but they were still pretty clean considering all the people. The space was beautifully decorated and just a fun place to hang with friends. I had a great time and look forward to trying more food and drinks! read more

"Tuesday night I reorganized my record collection. I often do this at periods of emotional stress. There are some people who would find this a pretty dull way to spend an evening, but I'm not one of them." -Nick Hornby I waltzed into The Overland as the early night became late night. I was clutching my vinyl copy of the song "Closet Freak" by Videeo because it was Tuesday & Tuesday means BYOV night (Bring Your Own Vinyl) at The Overland. Shortly after I walked in, a bartender/waiter named Destiny greeted me & handed me a menu. The bar was fairly packed to fully packed, so I have to give Destiny much credit for touching base with a new random customer. She was obviously bringing out food or drinks for about 6-7 different tables or orders. I definitely appreciated the immediate professionalism from Destiny. Gabriel, a bartender, was running the BYOV, the BYOV sign up sheet, and playing the records people brought in. Gabriel was exceedingly personable. Gabriel handed me the sign up sheet, I filled it out for 10PM, and he took my Videeo record, and added it to the stack of records to be played. Gabriel asked me if I had put in an order yet, and he suggested I try something off the Dry January menu because I mentioned I was not drinking. I ended up ordering a Hot Toddy. The drink lived up to its name. I felt the heat with each sip. A robust nightcap. Other patrons had brought in some funky fresh vinyl indeed. Someone even brought in a copy of Shimmy Ya by ODB, and I recall most of the bar staff and patrons were bobbing their heads. I remember hearing MF Doom, Pink Floyd, Out Hud, Sextile, and Farah too. Gabe got around to playing the single I brought at approx. 10P just like I signed up for. People seemed fairly amused by "Closet Freak" and I found it refreshing to sit in a crowd of people who were curious to hear the variety of tunes people brought in. The BYOV nights have a pleasant cosmopolitan vibe to them. I made sure to snap a few photos as the night went on. I got a few good ones of records people brought, and Chase, another bartender, even had the lights turned down for an extra moment during closing so I could get a picture of the disco ball they have in the center of the bar. I really appreciated the attention to detail & easy-going hospitality that each staff member manifested here. 5 stars is just a minimum at Overland. read more

Came here to check out the cocktails and saw there was a food menu. Ordered the tiny-tini, truffle cheese fries, and the chili verde tacos. Those tacos were delicious. The poblano mole dust on the taco was so delicious. Highly recommend read more

FAVORITE BAR IN REDLANDS. Music is always amazing and the drinks are delicious. Have to get a Pornstar martini every time i'm here, and the servers are always really cool. I've seen the same faces for the last 3 years so you know they enjoy working at this place. read more

What a vibe! From the vinyls being played in the background to the cozy seating. We ordered just about every small plate. All good. Drinks were on point. Great service read more

Stopped by Overland in Redlands and had a really good experience. The place has a nice atmosphere and feels like a great spot to sit down and enjoy a meal. The food was flavorful and everything tasted fresh, and the drinks were also really good. It's a solid place to go with friends or for a relaxed dinner in downtown Redlands. Service was friendly and the overall vibe made it an enjoyable visit. Definitely a place I'd come back to again. read more

Pretty good if you're going just for drinks, the menu is super extensive. I loved the Christmas decor they had doing on as well, smart use of the pillars outside as candy canes. We didn't really like the food, and the servers seemed busy most of the time. It was hard finding decent parking as well that didn't have warnings about getting towed. Wouldn't return, but it was decent. read more

Every time I come to Overland, there's always something new - which I love! The ambiance is awesome, especially if you want to chill at a bar with friends with chill jazz bar music in the background. Drinks are insanely good and unique (my favorite being No Bad Trips). A little pricey but it's expected for a cocktail at any bar nowadays. They recently updated their drinks menu and added a lot more variety. There was a bit of a mix up with my receipt where all our orders were inputted twice, but it was fixed promptly after I contacted them. Also - I recently got the miso lava cake and it was sooooo bitter, I could only eat the ice cream. I don't really recommend it especially when a small cake costs $16 but the rest of their new menu seems promising. read more

Sorry this place is not the vibe. Poor service, treated poorly here and I don't recommend. The host was actually kinda rude. Definitely was planning to spend a good amount money here since it was our first date night out in a while, but unfortunately won't be returning. read more

Second time being here, and it just gets worse. GO ELSEWHERE. Server spilled a drink all over me, my shoes, my legs, my phone and says nothing. We had to ask for napkins to which she sends someone else over who continually apologized (she was great). She wouldn't come to our table once the entirety of our time there. Some other male server helped us once we asked if we could order (no, she wasn't on break, just completely ignoring, wouldn't make eye contact and refused to say anything). We had to ask for the check. Never once were we asked about another round, food, nothing. Did not offer or provide any comp for my one drink, absolutely nothing. This was an awful experience, we will NEVER be back. read more

Came in tonight, waitress with glasses completely ignored me, a party of eight came in seven minutes after me, waitress attended them and still ignored me. Then about 25 minutes later, a guy who was really sweet and attentive when the waitress wasn't, came to help me. But the food was done by then, so I was ignored by the waitress, and because of her negligence, didn't get food. I will give credit to the young man who actually tried to help me. But that was audacious of her and incredibly discouraging to even stay there the extra twenty five minutes to be told that food was done when I went there in time. Also, she threw my water down, and refused to say a word to me. Not sure if this was macro-aggressive behavior, she was a blonde white lady with short hair, and she went out of her way to be not help at all. I have been here before and had excellent service, but please, talk to your employees about common courtesy and customer service. read more

We have been waiting to try this place and finally made it. Sadly we were disappointed My cocktail was good i had the north country spritz but my husband's was all ice he ordered the scarlet entrance. I ordered steak cooked medium and the left half of the steak was well done and the right half was medium. I was happy that it was seasoned well but i am surprised chef or expeditor thought it was good enough to serve. I will say the fries were delicious and perfectly cooked read more

Girlfriend date with my girl. My drink was actually pretty strong. I usually go for the sweet drinks but I was a big girl and took it like a champ lol The vibe was immaculate. It was giving 1908s and 1990s with the decor. Love the plants inside and the atmosphere. Will definitely return and check out snacks and potential foods as well as other drinks. Music was a bit loud for my liking but place is small so private conversations are probably out the question lol Once it isn't so hot I'd like to check out the outdoor sitting as well (: read more

I went by with just my wife for dinner as last time we went with kids and didn't realize it was adults only - makes sense though as it is primarily a bar. We didn't really sample any of the alcoholic drinks, but the two we got that were alcohol free were quite tasty - their version of ginger beer and a yuzu drink. Their menu had alot of veggie options we noticed. We ended up having the fried bake which came with delicious butter and a panzanella salad and arancini which were so so. Then for mains, we had a mushroom dish along a jerk chicken - both were good. Unfortunately there was no dessert offered. I think their menu changes based on the photos I see, so will be back eventually to sample other items. I think the aesthetic is beautiful and a welcome addition to Redlands. read more

This intimate spot with comfortable interior and patio seating is worthy of boasting about their handmade cocktails and extensive bar list. The Astral Plane is similar to a classic whiskey sour and is my new favorite drink. The garlic truffle fries were immaculately done. The potato tacos and hamburger with habanero jam are remarkable. This upscale boutique restaurant is a must whether it be for cocktails and appetizers or the full meal. I will definitely be back. read more

Good food and drinks and lofi vibe. my with loves it and great for a date nite. definitely a go to when in downtown redlands

Went on two occasions. Once for a Christmas outing with a friend, then on New Year's Eve for food and drinks with my husband. Both visits were amazing. The food was on point. Yummy. Nice presentation. The drinks were strong and good. Plus, the pricing point was very satisfying. And the ambiance. So cute both visits. Especially for New Year's Eve. And, they do cute off menu Holiday options from a Holiday menu. I recommend this place. read more

Made a reservation for 2 and still said they were behind 25 mins. What's the point of a reservation! Not impressed! There were people leaving and asked if we can take their spot, they said that's for bigger parties. I think management needs to be better at their seatings or make the experience like for 2 hours. Furthermore, we were told that we can order food if we sit out in the patio. So we gave up our reserved seat for patio seating. Then we were told we can't order food. Although management came out and let us order from the taco menu, it was okay. But the fact that I had to complain about it is just not want I wanted to do. Won't be returning. read more

I like the atmosphere inside the restaurant. It's small and intimate. We came here for dinner. We tried four different cocktails and the best two were No Bad Trips and Future Lover. The food menu was pretty limited. I really enjoyed the Fry Bake was my favorite. The texture and tastes of the bread make me want to return for just that item. We also ordered the pork sandwich with fries and it was good. Unfortunately , the Tostada had no flavor and we just ate the mushrooms from it. All in all, I would return for the atmosphere, cocktails, the Fry Bake. read more

YUM! Service! Ambiance! Did I say YUM? We stopped by for a dinner on Saturday, and were pleased to find the staff "had our back" in regards to parking. Apparently there is some hub-ub over neighbor parking getting towy. We were warned, given validation, and recommended to move to the correct lot to save a headache. The vibe was SPECTACULAR!! Difficult to convey in a photo which really, to be honest, made it even more fun! It's like the Grand Canyon, to Feel it you need to be there. Service continued to be amazing throughout the night. Drinks were delicious and such a fun offering. We shared several plates and each was a true delight. We tried the potato tacos, cheese Fries, and the chicken sandwich. Can't wait to get back to Redlands, so I can go again! read more

This was a fun little place my friend and I went to get cocktails. It has a very hip vibe inside and lovely seating outside. Everything was spaced out nicely so you weren't right next to your neighbors. My spritzer was good. Nothing special but it was very refreshing. From my POV, the food looked delicious that other people ordered. read more

Dissatisfied . We went for xmas noone sitting at bar and open tables yet told booked up need reservations Its a shame missing out on making $$ a bar should be open seating to keep money flowing Staff rude what a letdown this place is read more

Great atmosphere during Christmas, although the music is a little too loud; everyone around talking very loud, so we had to do the same. It took 5 full minutes before a greeter, or anyone came over to say hello and then seat us. We were about to leave. Also, we ordered drinks and kettle corn for an appetizer, we finished our drinks and assumed they forgot the kettle corn, which happens, so after our waiter finally came back to check on us, I was about to hand over my card to pay when he brought us the corn. By the way, it was cold, so it's not fresh, which made me think why did it take so long to bring us over a bowl of probably prepackaged kettle corn? read more

Nice chilled atmosphere. Music was nice and pleasant while eating outside. Small establishment, makes it nice for a romantic drink date. Menue is not designed to fill you up with a big meal. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but my experience at The Overland Bar was honestly terrible. Our reservation was for 8:40 PM and we didn't get seated until 9:00. Once we were finally sat, we were ignored for over half an hour--no greeting, no water, not even an acknowledgment. We eventually had to go find a host/server ourselves just to place an order. When the drinks finally came, they were honestly disgusting. For a place that's supposed to be a fun Christmas bar, everything felt overhyped, poorly executed, and not worth the money at all. Overall, such a disappointing experience. Save your time and money there are way better Christmas bars out there! read more

Cozy restaurant. Awesome vibes. Music set a really cool tone. Friendly and professional staff. Excellent sDelicious high quality food. Loved the Brussels sprouts, risotto, steak frites, potato tacos, and fried chicken sandwich. Highly recommend. Limited next to the restaurant. Easier to park in structure with the Tesla chargers. read more

We were so, so impressed by this place. They have an amazing array of drinks (even non alcoholic spritzers), as well as starters, appetizers, main dishes and desserts. We thought the hamburger and fries were excellent as well as the arugula salad. It's a little pricey, but the ambiance is cool. One star taken down because the music was sooooo loud from the vinyls they were playing it was hard to have a conversation. Otherwise, awesome place and I'm planning to go back. The waiters that helped us were attentive and our food came quickly. They were also friendly. Our night here was great. read more

THIS IS NOT A REAL BAR. That is false advertising. To begin, the service was dismal and the staff was rude. We made reservations for the Bartop and specified that online. When we walked in, no one came to seat us or even greeted us for about 4-5 minutes. When an employee finally noticed us, he sauntered over slowly and asked if we had reservations. We explained that we did and that we had requested the bar seating, which appeared full. He told us "oh sorry, that's full right now. I'll have you sit at a table and when seats open up at the bar we can move you." We accepted the offer and sat down at a table. We were not given menus for another five minutes. When we were finally brought menus, we perused them for a bit and then saw that two seats opened up at the bar, which we stopped our server and requested to take. She said she would ask, but did not, so we ended up finding the host and asking him. Two other people who had just walked in walked up and took the two seats at the bar and the host did not stop them or tell them we would be sitting there, but instead turned to us and said "oh sorry it's too late, they got the seats." When it came time to order, my partner ordered an on menu drink and I ordered A SIMPLE NEGRONI. The waitress went to ask the bartender if he could make a Negroni and came back and told me NO. Literally. No to a basic and universal cocktail. WHAT?? Then we were told that ALL DRINKS ARE PRE-MIXED and that we can only order things in the menu as they all come off tap. Or we could do shots. Yes. That's right. Pre-mixed cocktails on tap. I'm disgusted with the whole operation. The drink was a "spirit forward" drink and it was far too sweet. We paid for our one terrible drink and walked out immediately and headed STRAIGHT to oyster cult where I could get real cocktails. The one pro I have to say is the decor. Very cute. The rest is shit. read more

How can you go wrong at The Overland with tons of vinyl records for the background music? The owner, Bryan, has spent a great deal of effort dialing in the acoustics for his customers' listening enjoyment. He'd like his customers to feel as if they were guests at his home. The building is freshly remodeled and everything is brand new, with attention paid to every detail. As with the area around the train depot, there is very little parking - we ride-shared here. But there is the 4 story parking structure within walking distance. Featured in the pics are the 23 taps on the field of avocado colored tile. This isn't just beer. In order to speed up drink delivery he's figured out a way to pour mixed drinks, wine AND beer from those taps. His process ensures that air never touches the beverages before their poured. They have also gone through a process of extracting lime and lemon juices, concentrating them and using this to flavor their drinks. (They also make drinks the old fashioned way, as well.) We started with their signature drinks. They were original and good (I have some pics of the drink menu for your review). Our drinks came out within 3 minutes. We ordered the Fry Bakes, which came out in 8 minutes, to go along with our drinks. This is warmed flat bread sprinkled with salt flakes (see pic) with a side dish of herbed butter. This was an incredible tasty treat. We also had the Plantains, see pic. This is a savory plantain, topped with earthy herbs and placed on "Grandma's sauce". Grandma has a sweet tooth as evidenced by her sweet sauce. This combination worked well. At this point, there are only 4 items for food, see pic of menu, so plan your appetite accordingly. While they have limited seating, we saw several patrons enjoy their outdoor patio. Reservations are highly recommended. read more
