This is the best cocktail bar in Riverside. The menu design and actual mixology are top notch. All the staff are friendly, but Sarah went above and beyond in making drinks that were equal parts new, engaging, and balanced. I never felt like I was drinking alcohol, instead you get to enjoy flavor and flair in a way that is really hard to match. I hope to try the food next time and am enamoured by the quality and attention to detail all displayed for an accessible price. Many thanks.

Nice cocktails, relaxed atmosphere and soft lighting. Bar bites also part of the menu. Overall great for conversation and a relaxed vibe, located near downtown Riverside with plenty of street parking.

Clean and sleek bar with a relaxed, well kempt vibe and a great staff. We didn't try any of the food, but the drinks were great and the atmosphere was very chill. If you're in the mood for a nice cocktail or a chance to catch up with friends in a cool environment, check this place out.

Had dinner and drinks here. The cocktails are unique and great. Service is attentive. The atmosphere is dim and cozy albeit just a little loud. The food is also pretty good, for example their ketchup tastes like it's made in house rather than out of a typical bottle.

Went out in search of an old fashion. Great reviews lead us here to give it a try. The location is away from the downtown bars. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming. We took a seat at the bar and tried an old fashion. Best we've had in Riverside. We had some delicious beers. We will be back for the food and maybe one of the signature drinks.

It's a cozy bar with relaxing vibe. Good beers and food (meatballs were delicious). Also, bartenders are nice and friendly.

Review based on drinks and ambiance; definitely coming back to try the food. We drove past the place because it's tucked away on a sleepy, poorly lit street but once we found the entrance we were immediately greeted and showed a seat at the bar. Love the chic decor and comfy vibes on a Sunday night. I am really glad I randomly picked this place over any of the dive bars in the area. Who knew the inland empire was stepping it up!? Their cocktail menu is changing soon so make sure you pop in and try the GOOF GRIEF cocktail. Side note: the filtered water is incredible.

I can’t speak for the food as I only had cocktails. The drinks were pretty decent, but nothing extraordinary. What really lacked was the service. It was almost a struggle to order a drink and it wasn’t even busy. Once ordered, it took a considerable amount of time to get the drink. Quite frustrating overall.
