Riverside needs to step up and support this wonderful collection of unique businesses!!…read more We've came here to see a specific band on purpose, and it was wonderful! We've came here just to introduce friends to the area and then got to listen to bands that we enjoyed, and had some beers on a nice summer night with a cool breeze. Honestly, this is one of the coolest places that Riverside has ever had. They have their own parking lot and so far we've been lucky enough to find a spot, although it can get busy They schedule lots of little swap meet things They play the Dodgers games here They have Karaoke here We got to see a band called the dickies!! If you've never been, you have to come check it out In the very least, get yourself some gelato Or a hamburger, or one of the amazing pizzas There's a Photo booth There's an interesting vending machine with foreign snacks There's a Plant shop There's a record store Please people let's keep this place in business! Guarantee you that the homeless are not an issue at all

Farm House Collective has been open for a little over a year now and I finally made my first visit…read more I wasn't very interested in coming here before because it's in a pretty sketchy area. However, I had friends visiting and met them up here. Surprisingly, it was decent once I pulled into the parking lot - completely different from the sketchy vibes on University. Anyway, the first thing I noticed was how clean it was here. The people that go around cleaning FHC really do a good job. Even the restrooms looked pristine. I do appreciate the dual faucet and dryer at the sink. Farm House Collective offers a handful of counter-style restaurants, similar to what you'd find in an indoor food hall. Places I tried during this visit were: The Taco Stand, Sarap Social, and Benedetto Gelato. They also had a stage with a large screen that showed music videos. I'm assuming they have live bands that play here on certain days. The music video that was played was techno, which probably didn't match the vibe. It's summer so they should play some island reggae or chill country songs IMO. It's still nice with music regardless the genre. They have plenty of tables and seating styles scattered around and they have the grassy area in front of the stage. I suppose you can take a picnic mat or blanket out there to sit. Overall, this is a decent spot that's great for groups because there's a variety of food vendors to choose from. Note: it's summer and there were mosquitos - wear bug repellent and sunscreen. There's no breeze coming through here. I'd love to come back and try the other businesses here.

It's a sports bar set up. I'll break our visit down... Service: Our waitress was nice and helpful, the place wasn't crowded when we got there (arrived at 4:30ish). They seemed pretty short staffed since there was only one waitress/hostess taking orders for the whole place. There was another girl, but she basically just delivered food and misc items to the table. There's also one other guy I saw that was bringing out food, but other than that...it was just the one girl taking orders and tending to the customers (seems like a management issue). This made our wait a little long (not a big deal). Food: Chips and salsa - were they rationing on the chips? Had a lot of salsa for like a sprinkle of tortilla chips - Burgers - see the pics posted - no complaints were made about the burgers and fries, in fact, we loved the food that we ordered. Drinks: Strawberry lemonade - according to my girls, it's one of the best they've had Watermelon Refresher - very refreshing, nothing to complain about Black Walnut Old Fashioned - really smooth and ol'skool Cafe con Agave - Not a fan! I've had a few from other places and this one was NOT it for me! Expresso Martini - It was just "alright"...I've definitely had better! Shots: Mexican candy, Cactus Cooler, White Gummy, & Green tea...it's a hit or miss with shots when they're flavored but these came out good Shakes- we ordered chocolate, cookies and creme, & fruity pebbles, let me tell you, the guy gets down in making milkshakes cus these were really good! Overall - I would recommend the place to anyone looking for a cool spot to grab something to eat, have a few drinks, and just enjoy the vibe of the place. I would recommend you check your receipts, I didn't realize that we were charged for a milkshake that we didn't get. They also gave us the wrong milkshakes to begin with. Lastly, if you're a big party, be sure to remember there's a gratuity, I spaced out and didn't think nothing of it so I tipped on top of the gratuity. I will say $72.71 in tip was NOT what I would've tipped for the overall service and experience, but it is what it is. Happy eating

Insanely friendly service. It was like the bartender really loved his job. Genuinely enjoyed it…read more Things I would want to know: 1. No food, but you're welcome to bring your own. 2. 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?

Entry was a breeze--just $20 combined--and accessing the main room was straightforward. I've been coming to this bar for years, though it's been a while since my last visit, and I have to say, I absolutely love the vibe now! The changes they've made--turning it into an '80s-themed space--are fantastic. We had an amazing time, and the atmosphere was just right. The only downside is that it does get pretty hot in there; better AC would make it even better. Still, I'll definitely be returning for more night adventures! One more thing I did not get a chance to try their drinks since I don't drink alcohol but will definitely ask if they make mocktails.

They were tasty, juicy and a little bit overpriced. Overall worth it. The cocktails were very good as well. On this particular night, we were there to see a David Bowie tribute show and the cocktails were themed after Bowie songs which was a really cute touch. Parking in the area was easy and I luckily found an inexpensive spot to park. The sound quality in the venue was great and I don't think there was a bad seat in the house. I look forward to coming here again someday. The service at the venue was excellent! I had an issue where I lost something and security was so helpful. The ushers were fantastic, friendly, and caring. I could not have asked for a better experience.

**Game Day Perfection at Lake Alice!**…read more If you're searching for the ultimate spot to catch the most important game of your life, look no further than Lake Alice! We recently gathered there to watch the exhilarating finale of the World Cup, and let me tell you, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff rolled out the red carpet for our large group, accommodating us with exceptional hospitality. They helped us rearrange tables to ensure everyone had the best view of the screen, making us feel right at home. Their attentiveness transformed our game day into a truly special event. The atmosphere was electric! Surrounded by fellow fans, cheering and celebrating every thrilling moment, the energy was contagious. The combination of delicious food and refreshing drinks only added to the excitement. But what truly set Lake Alice apart was the outstanding customer service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. It felt as if they were cheering us on right alongside our team! If you're looking for a place that blends great vibes, fantastic service, and an unbeatable atmosphere for your next big game, Lake Alice is the place to be. You won't be disappointed! **Cheers to Lake Alice for making our World Cup finale a game day to remember!**

Hiding your prices from your customers is NOT HOT. What is the point of a drink menu that just…read morelists the drinks and not the price of said drinks????? Why am I not allowed to know how much the drink costs? Why is it not written on the menu. Is it dynamic pricing based on the customer? Is the price of my drink *gasp* negotiable perhaps??? It makes no sense. This bar gets BUSY imagine a customer asking the very busy server the price of every drink on the menu while trying to decide what to order. It's dumb. The vibes of the place are nice and the carne asada tots were very good. Love that! Don't love the sketchy stuff where you aren't transparent with your customer base. Your greed will consume you.
