I wanted to really like this place but unfortunately they don’t have many vegetarian options. I ended up ordering the cheese enchiladas and they tasted like a typical microwave meal and sadly the beans and rice were just nasty. However, my friend ordered the burger and she said it was good. The fries were decent and the drinks were the only reason to stay. If I decide to go back it would definitely be for the drinks alone. Customer service was great so that’s also a plus.
Our server, Allison, was friendly, on point with her service, and made our time enjoyable! Our huevos rancheros were phenomenal and freaking delicious! I must say the BEST I have ever had! We also enjoyed the fried calamari and our mimosas! I highly and definitely recommend!!! We arrived at 11 am for brunch and so many delicious options. For my first time at this restaurant, Im very happy with my experience. We will be returning to Dukes soon maybe for Wings Wednesday.
I have been going to Dukes for years, food is good but had stopped, due to lack of security/safety BUT ever since security MIB is there now, Im definitely feeling much safer. Im very familiar with MIB & I love their professionalism & their duty to protect the guest every where they work. Dukes has become my chill spot again! Thanks to MIB! Also, the people that work at Dukes! :)
I went with my friends a couple of times last month. Archie our waitress and the great Bartender were amazing. They made us the enjoyable meal and crazy conversation. You will love the atmosphere.
Vibe: The vibe of this place is interesting. I was there from 3-6 and it was the happy hour portion so it had a decent amount of people enjoying drinks with friends. Be careful, this place is like a labyrinth so you might get lost.Food: the food felt microwaved, but the good kind of microwaved where it was on point, every single item we ordered was delicious. The pizza was the best because it was cheesy and packed with flavor.Service: It was my first time at Duke’s and I must say I was mostly impressed with the service. It is a place where anyone feels welcomed, where everyone is attentive despite regulars showing up. That I appreciate a lot.
Service is always great Friday night fish fry is well worth trying and on Saturday they have a fantastic prime rib great place to visit and spend the evening
Dukes is always good, I go there to watch boxing matches, food is decent, service excellent and atmosphere is really good. Nice spot to watch a sports event.
After being gone for 10 yrs and seeing the transformation inside really makes Dukes a great place for all your entertainment desires. I luv that they still have karaoke 6 days a week. Looking forward to returning soon to belt out some tunes very soon.
Love this place. Every staff member we have talked to is so nice and helpful. The only thing I don’t understand is why do you pat down all the guys but you don’t pat down the girls? What, girls can’t carry weapons too?
This is a cool place. Ive never been before. Theyve got food, drinks, TVs, music, plenty of indoor seating & a patio. We started off sitting near the front then moved to a table in the back & our bar tender kept our tab open & constantly came by to check on us. I wish I could remember his name, but alcohol was involved 😂🍻
Dukes is bar far one of my favorite spots. I regularly visit this bar and have grown very fond of it. The regulars are nice. Whether youre into the nightclub scene or simply singing some songs, Dukes definitely has you covered. Oh and not to mention the excellent bar food, they have an awesome kitchen that cooks up everything from nachos to steaks!
Cozy spot for an afternoon cocktail and lunch. Foods great and so is the service. Enjoyed my lunch here.
Havent been here in years. mainly came here b/ c its one of few places that has an outside patios..... pleural. and you can vape/smoke outside while having a drink after work to decompress. Close to the freeway so after traffic dies down during rush hour you can jump right back on the freeway to your destination. Drinks are great! A little pricey, but w/ a little extra liquor, it makes it worth the priceWent on a Wednesday around 5pm. Missed happy hour from 2-5pm which isnt great. Most places have it til 6 or 7. Food is so so. Could use some freshening up. Variety of music being played. I would come for drinks and all the outside patio areas.
Service was a bit slow, flavors great, value just fine. Parking fair.
Vary nice place to eat and enjoy live music I be back soon
Super fun and chill place for karaoke lovers!! Shout out to my girl, Shawna a.k.a Juicy the KJ for keeping the atmosphere lit!It was my first time, but will DEFINITELY be back! 😍
I love this bar. Two halves with different feels! The front bar has a chill, almost dive bar feel, while the back transforms into a nightclub on the weekend. Super comfy and relaxed. The bartenders are amazing, and the staff/regulars are like family.Both outdoor areas are now covered with plenty of TVs and seating. Karaoke every single night - every genre you can think of, with no judgement. Taco Tuesdays and trivia, karaoke contests, paint n sip nights, theyve always got something going on.Security is great and always makes me feel safe. Every time Ive had a problem or felt unsafe, it was dealt with immediatly.Not many vegan/vegetarian options, but Ive heard that their burgers are out of this world. I hope more vegan/veg options pop up on the menu sometime soon! (The large nachos can feed like 6 people. Totally worth it!)The womens bathroom is a bit of a pain, but what can ya do. No one is perfect!
Wish they had the Paint-N-Sip event more often than once a month. Every other week would be nice. We had a blast!!!
Karaoke nearly every night, kitchen open late. It can get crowded inside but the outdoor seating area is very big. My husband loves their spicy pig pizza, and their chile Verde fries are freaking amazing.
I love coming here the food is pretty good but the service is the best. Angela is quick, professional, knowledgeable, and kind. It was very busy with the football crowd and she was on it. I definitely recommend coming here to watch the game or just eat and have a drink!
The fish and chips are very good. Thsts all I have tried but zim sure the rest on me u is just as good
Not your average bar food and nothing average about Crystal! Such a really nice person with great service! Shes our go to now when we need a time out.
Y’all need to be really careful when going out I jus went out last night with a few friends and was roofied and someone stole my friend’s phone then when we asked for it back they said someone took theirs it was a male on the other line jus be careful and pay attention to who’s around your drink and don’t leave it unattended and remember if you need help it’s okay to ask for it I never thought this would happen to me be safe
How can I rate this lower because their atmosphere used to be better but now its just great? I havent been here in a long time. The food is still great, the values awesome and the service stupendous. I do however miss the wooden tables at the front bar and the darts at the back bar. That said, I will come here more often.
Dukes.... maybe?Overall the food was fantastic but the service was more than lacking... it was nonexistent. My friend brought me here saying it was the best spot in the town. Even came here after his graduation! If the service problem gets figured out I would be back... if that service is typical then even the great food wouldnt be worth the pain.We ordered our drinks and the drinks got switched. We ordered our app and received it before we ever saw our waitress again. The next time she stopped in we ordered our food and she grabbed us new drinks. Our food came our and we had no silverware so we waited 10 minutes before I asked a passing employee for silverware and our waitress. The forks arrived per same employee and a few minutes later our waitress ran up and asked what we needed. By now we needed more sauce for the wings. 15 minutes later it arrives but no word about the wait, the excuse being they had to make more of the sauce... we ask a random employee for our check but that involves waiting for our waitress to come by. Eventualllly....So anyways great food, hope the customer experience improves.
High quality fresh food, cold beer that aint flat, great staff that are attentive, what more could you want? Stopped in on mothers day. Ended up being the only place anywhere in the inland empire that wasnt crowded. Great outside seating. Lots of TVs inside, a few outside. Archie is a great bartender and waitress. You can smoke on the patio. We will be back and use this place as a stop on our trips from now on. Real close to the freeway.Cool off at Dukes!Been a year now and this place only gets better. Weve been chilling in the back bar lately. The crowd here is amazing. There are some pretty tough bros here, but everybody is somebody at Dukes. So its pretty chill.Go Eagles!
Amazing pulled pork sliders and beef sliders, so good my friend and I went two days in a roa to get same thing. Great servers and owner. Ill always come back when in town!
The food is good & filling. Customer service has been good all the times I have been. The place is clean, spacious , &restrooms are kept clean. They have 2 bar areas, big screen TVs. An outside patio with big TVs.Enjoyed the nightlife there. Def recommend if you are looking for a place to have a few drinks/karaoke/socialize. The atmosphere is relax, unless you want to go out to the patio where the party is at. The DJ plays good music from old school to todays hits. A mix of everything. If you want a place that has different ethnicity’s this is the place. Doesn’t matter if you are 21 or 100 you will enjoy this spot & feel at ease.A lot of nice security. I hate going to places where I feel some b/s is going to happen, not here. You feel safe & welcome.The drinks are a bit over priced for the size servings. Would’ve gave a 5, but inflation is a B lmfao!
Its not really my kind of place, but for the kind of place that I think they want to be, I think theyre doing it perfectly. There were 11 different screens visible from my seat plus seven reflections of those screens. If multiple events were going on someone wanted to keep track of, there were pretty good odds of being able to do that
Great atmosphere - chill and energetic at the same time. Bar was poppin with good talk and service. Great well-rounded menu and saw the food being made fresh to order. Service was fast and friendly. Talked to the chef, dude knows his stuff and cool guy.
Pretty good selection of beer. It has really changed the last few years. The staff is friendly and their pizza is great!
The employees here are always so friendly. Took the family and kids during happy hour and the personal pizza was great.
Taco Tuesday is great cant go wrong with there 99 cent tacos
1st time visit. The bar looked well stocked. The food was pretty good. I had the bacon avocado burger and my friend had the fish and chips. They seemed a bit short staffed as the bartender also served as our main waitress. She seemed to be working really hard tough so idk if that delayed anything too much. There are plenty of TVs to watch MMA, football or other sports.
The food is good and watching football on Sunday is good as well BUT just a reminder if your bill is over $100 they add a 18% gratuity to your bill.. Apparently it says on the receipt after you get the bill. Let the customers know that. I dont mind tipping BUT your servers also need to do there jobs and STOP catering to your favorite customers or to people you know.. I will be letting friends and family that go here to be aware of this.. And hopefully this will reach to other customers that might go here. I will take my business along with friends and family and go elsewhere.. I can find better places to give my money too that deserve my time...#RIPOFF
Update: still love this bar. The locals are welcoming, the new folks are welcomed. We really only go during the day, and the bartenders are all great. We occasionally stay into the evening/night transition, and the later shift bartenders are also fabulous. Even though many of the suppliers/vendors changed and many of the standard menu items have adapted (as is the case with EVERY establishment through COVID), the food is still great. Service is still stellar. And the establishment is still solid.Love this bar. Bartenders are always nice, friendly, good looking. Specials daily for each shift. Pretty good food (for a bar, its great. Even the salads are a good choice).
Dukes is great, ample indoor and outdoor seating and great staff. The Spicy Pig pizza they offer is fantastic, very spicy if you are into the burn like me. Drinks are good, bartenders are fun. Overall a great vibe.
Our experience with this bar has always been a great one. Today it was made 100 times better by the wonderful, sweet and ever so attentive Ali. She is not only an amazing bartender for us, but mananges to keep a full bar satisfied and happy! No waiting for your drink! An excellent attitude! Just wonderful! Get job Ali!
Dukes is always the place to go! Great bar tenders and food! Afro beats last night did a great job! The music was on point, made the crowd vibe like no other! Can’t wait to see you again at dukes!
Nice place to go to party, but no one really to talk to with substance. Also the patio foot was so sticky and packed. I could burly dance I just felt people rub up against my arms and feet. But if you say by the bar or the front you’ll be okay. I’ve only been once so good luck.
Yeah, I dont get the over the top excitement from some others here. The food is perfectly fine, but entirely unimpressive, and a touch on the pricey side for what you get. Lots of seating, and decent beer selection - again, nothing incredible, but decent. Service was OK - about on par for most bar & grills. All that said, the place seemed rather dirty - the tables were sticky like something had been spilled and not actually cleaned.
We went there at 9:30 on a Sunday morning to watch a hockey game. Newly remodeled with very nice interior. The food was freshly prepared and very good. The service was very friendly and efficient. The prices were very fair. Nick was very hospitable and a nice gentleman. We will definitely be back.
Dukes was a great bar to meet up and drink. The vibe was right and the games were on all the TVsDrinks were nice and stiff and the bartenders were friendly and fast. If youre in the area and looking for a place to have a drink I would definitely come here.
This place is awesome, perfect sportsbar! food was delicious as well as cocktails, my bloody marys were solid. sat in patio, only one server for 8 tables, she did fantastic and had a great attitude was also very attentive!! will come back!
The place is cool but the security service not , very disappointed ..towards the end a girl got into an argument with my sis and one of the security guard pushed her hard and started tasing her in the face several times when we saw that obviously we were not gonna let that happen so we tried to stop him and he pushed me to the grown and tased me as well in the neck and other parts of my body that was not necessary! Never going again
Best food Ive ever had at a bar. Great drinks. Amazing bartenders and servers. Oh, and karaoke night every night except Monday and Thursday (for now) plus a dance area outdoors with a separate dj Thursday - Saturday. Honestly the best place to go for a lot of reasons.
Dukes has great food and drinks and the employees are amazing! I was invited Thursday night and the DJ from Afro Beats was on point the whole night. The vibe was good and I will definitely go back.
We went here for Taco Tuesday and trivia in the back bar. Its a friendly crowd - the regulars know one another - and everyone tries to win, kinda. We enjoyed it.The drinks are good - happy hour prices end at 7, so get there early to save some money on food. It was really busy in the back and my order took a long time and came out wrong, but it was tasty anyway, and the server was busting her butt, so no worries.Plenty of parking, and not the spiffiest part of Riverside, but safe and clean.
Its looks like a dive bar but is actually very clean and spacious. The bar has always been run by the sweetest folk. The food has always been delicious for breakfast minus the Bisquits and gravy.
This place has great food and its a fun place to go to watch the games. The outside seating where I like to sit when Im here. You can smoke outside, and on the left outdoor area they will have karaoke and music sometimes. Theres a lot of sketchy things that happen here 😅 but you cant blame the place for that. Its always busy, which I think is telling of what a fun dive sports bar it is
Statistically speaking I will probably never come back here again ( since it was a fluke ) but Archie was an awesome bartender that I could tell was a genuinely solid puzzle piece to a fun neighborhood bar community vibe. Im glad a came through on my trip back to Phoenix. @ Coachbricewilliams
I love Dukes..great place to hang out for happy hour, lunch, holidays. Food is good, service is good, the staff is friendly and they are very popular but not over packed. Try the Riverside sandwich it is delicious. They have Taco Tuesday specials and Wing specials on Wednesday. Full bars and music and an outdoor patio.
First visit to Dukes and the food was pretty good. I felt that the prices did not match the portions. The appetizers were ok but even at happy hour prices were unfair. The fish and chips was good, portion was good, although the coleslaw portion was very small... I mean really??? Coleslaw is just cabbage so increase the portion a bit. A friend had the Philly cheese steak sandwich and for the price was completely unfair. The roll was tiny, the portion was as a commercial once said; WHERES THE BEEF?. I personally have been to places that for the same money the bread is twice the size and the meat is triple-plus the amount. I really wish the consumers will one day wake up and take a stand against establishments that cheat the consumer in this manner.
Hadnt been to this place in years and my friend suggested it because it was close by and free and we didnt have to get all dressed up lol well it was close and no dress code, but it was a fee of 5 bucks (not bad)...So it was a Saturday night around 10pm and there was lots of people and pretty diverse crowd...They had plenty of seating inside and outside. We mostly hung out outside were the DJ was on point with the music playing hip hop to Latin to old school...a great mix! They have a full bar and waitresses to attend to your needs. They were also walking around giving sample shots which was a very nice surprise! Everyone was chilling, relaxing, and having a good time. No drama. The average age group was 25-40 in my opinion which was great. I would definitely recommend this place for a fun night out with the girls or even celebrating a birthday! I know I will definitely be back for sure!
My sister Julie brought us to this place for my nephews birthday. Waitress on point super efficient and friendly. Snacks were prepared well..Loved all the different angles they hit. Thanks for a nice night out..
Great spot to kick back and enjoy a drink. Security is pretty standard. Drinks taste great. Perfect place to find the college crowd if thas what youre looking for. Also a good spot to host events. Parking is really rough though, definitely not enough spots for all patrons to park. There are outings to park nearby and walk a short distance so I guess that isnt too bad
Had an amazing time the food was okay but the music was great. The live DJ gets there at 9 oclock and plays any music you request so that made the night even more fun. The waitress were always pretty awesome. I would go again anytime no drama at all.
Went there on a Wednesday night. It was fun. The waitress was great and the karaoke was fun! Great crowd overall!
Great bar in the Riverside area. Has two bars in 2 rooms. They also have a ton of seating outside. TVs are on almost every wall so you can’t miss a game. The bartender was nice and attentive. Will definitely come back to try other food options. The bars atmosphere is comfortable.
Fathers Day was busy everywhere else. Weve been yo Dukes before so we decided to go celebrate there. As busy as they were we were served very quickly. Unknown to us they have karaoke night on Sundays. We had soooo much fun we want to go back next weekend!
1st time going on Saturday. It was awesome. Staff is welcoming and attentive. It was a fight night so it was pretty busy but i thought they did managed it well. It doesnt look like it, but there were a couple places within the bar to watch the fight and spread out. I loved that they had a huge outside area with a big screen set up to watch the fight. The food was great!! Only downside. I think they have only one bathroom with two stalls, that arent spacious at all. Wasnt too much of a problem for me but that was the only flaw I encountered. Loved it will be back!!!
They have the best chicken wings buy the crowd on Saturday is very young and they have yet experience the wonders of deodorant. Just be warned ⚠️
Great food, decent prices for the portions. Lots of food options and variations. We found this place accidentally, looking for a place to eat for 2 hours and a restroom, lol.They have pitchers, buckets or glasses of beer.Because of the pandemic you have to eat on the patio which isnt bad but I dont smoke and it seemed everybody was smoking around me which takes the experience down a notch.They have 2 patios, but only one has heaters which worked very well.Would like to come back but sit in the dinning room.
Nice bar. Huge space with two inside bars and two outdoor areas. Several tables and TVs all over. The staff is nice and friendly. The food is pretty good offering a good variety of choices. Nice and chill during the week, good spot to watch sports. Crowded but fun on the weekends.
Love the dancefloor area being kind of separate. Karaoke is great and the hosts are SUPER nice.The bartenders here put some work in and are pleasant.I havent eaten the food here but for nightlife you wont be disappointed.
My absolute favorite place to go dancing!!! The Dj is great. The bartenders and servers are friendly and fun. The drinks are yummy and priced fairly. If you live karaoke, Chris is the guy to see for your song. Seriously this place is the place to go to have fun. The vibe can not be beat.
Food was okay. I ordered hard shell but got soft shell tacos. The jagerbombs were served in a cup meant for munchkins from the land of Oz. Also. the KJ made me stand there for about three minutes as she ignored me so she could look a song up on her phone. I have been a KJ for 16 years. I always put my customers first, not my phone . Btw, it was my bday. Not the greatest experience.
First time visiting and we enjoyed ourselves. Our server was named Alex a military veteran and he gave us excellent service. The food was exceptionally good for a bar and grill. My girl and I will definitely be back.
Gotta give this place 5 stars. I tried going here once before but they dont have pool tables so we went elsewhere.I was there for Thursday night football. They had good specials, lots of TVs and cold beer. The wings were good and the girls working were very nice.Its a great place to catch a game.
I went with my sister, brother, and his wife. We originally only went to sing some karaoke. I am really shy so considering that, I thought it was amazing I got up and sang multiple times. The DJ was really nice and had almost every song we requested.I tried multiple drinks and my favorite one has to be one called a Peach Ring. If you go, you must try it! We also tried the potato skins and wings. They were delicious. Those wings are the best wing I have EVER had which was totally unexpected.They have an outdoor patio with seating areas, but we didnt sit out there. I wish we would have checked it out. The room we were in is the first room you walk into. It was a pretty nice atmosphere. There was also a back room where they were playing music. It is darker than the first room, but I loved that they had a second bar back there.The service was pretty good. One of the girls seemed to forget about us a bit, but it was quite busy that night so I dont blame her. Other than that, everyone there was really sweet. I would defiantly go back.
Food is extremely good, a bit pricey for what it is, but still good. I knocked off one star because the waitress told me she would bring me out a few samplers of the ipa beers she had but she forgot. I did not bother to remind her because i did not wish to seem like i was nagging her. Also, a plus, no masks. 🙂
Is a cool place to hangout like after work which I did a couple of times BUT it gets overwhelming when you witness fights between women & drags?? Nothing against the community 🌈 just making it clear. But I just wanna have some drinks & good time that’s all.
The food is good--the pizza in particular is satisfying without being greasy and heavy--and theres a good assortment of beers. It can get a little loud with the karaoke, but if thats your thing, it works. Great outdoor patio areas, good variety of sports on the TVs, and friendly staff!
Dukes bar and grill. Where do I start. Waking in I felt the vibe right off the bat. They had security on the door checking ppl. Safety is a top priority as we saw. They checked ID. The atmosphere was super chill. People are very very friendly and welcoming. Everyone employed there had a smile on their face which is a good sign that they love there job which also means we were going to have a good night there. We ordered the nachos supreme which was off the hook and fed a group of 6 with a bunch leftovers. Our waitress was Natalie and she was super sweet to all of us. She told us all the deals that they had that night and the specials they had going. To be honest we drank a lot and ate a lot and for a group of 6 we hardly paid anything. Prices were right. Not like other places charging way too much. Not here they actually have real good prices. I would definitely highly recommend this place to my friends and family and to everyone on google who are looking for a local family owned bar & grill this is a place definitely worth visiting. They have great music in every room. Lots of places to chill and walk around. Place is very clean. Definitely going back
The pizza here is really good and if you get the right bartender they make the drinks stiff. The KJ is a cool guy and a lot of fun if youre into Karaoke. The only thing I dont like about this bar is it attracts a bad crowd most nights and people like to start drama and be nasty for no reason when youre minding your own business.
Wow!! Fantastic food, lively atmosphere, quick and courteous service. Courtey (GM) was friendly and welcoming. Gotta try the Vodka Penne Chicken next. Had the Enchiladas platter, pretty good. Everything was hot and melty. The salsa had a smokey depth with the roasted poblanos. Delicious with a kick! Guacamole was creamy and flavorful. I will be returning. Thanks Dukes!
**** Four stars for the drinks, food, the fun atmosphere, the nice back bar and dancing area, for the drinks specials, and the karaoke.*** Three stars for their cover charge after 9pm Friday/Saturday. I dont mind paying 10 dollars , but at least give me a wristband. NO STAMP. No IN AND OUTS AFTER 9pm.
Food seems to have gone downhill. Used to be delicious but now under-whelming. Staff is fantastic! Breakfast is good.
I have mixed feelings about dukes. Sometimes they’re good sometimes they’re really bad. For instance, I know to never order well drinks on Friday and Saturday nights because they’ll most likely be watered down.The service here really depends on the staffs mood. Sometimes the staff is in a good mood so they’ll treat you nice, sometimes they’re not in a bad mood so they’ll take it out on you.The bouncers at night are pretty chill too, they’re just the right amount of “a**hole” necessary to be a bouncer.Also, not a big fan of entree fees
It’s a chill spot to grab a few drinks and watch a game or fight on TV. I just didn’t like it once when I asked for a specific boxing match to watch and they straight up said no and I left. I hope they fixed all the fights they used to have in the parking lot.
The food is good, theres a solid selection of beer (especially local ones), and the other bar drinks are good. The seating outside is great for enjoying SoCal weather, and inside is great if you want to listen to or participate in karaoke. The service is sometimes a little slow, but not too bad.
Best Buffalo wings Ive ever had. And there Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich is off the hook tasty. This is a definite place to go for great good and great drinks. Check it out if you have not been.
Great service, good beer selection, excellent food. You can enjoy a cigar outside in the patio equipped with lots of space heaters for cool evenings. A large screen TV monitor makes this an ideal place to watch your favorite sporting event while soaking up an IPA (or whatever) and enjoying a smoke. Now a favorite place for our pipe band which includes minors. Everyone has been attentive, polite and the atmosphere is welcoming for minors. They may have a late night cut off for kids, so ask when you enter if you are planning on staying late with your family.
The food looked great, wish I had waited and eaten there. Vast selection of beers which were steep in price as well. $17 for a mixed drink and a draft beer was surprising. Plenty of TVs for watching a game, disappointed with the KJ, should find one who knows how to do his job as well as he took a generous tip. Come to think about it he didnt acknowledge that either! The food did look great
Whether you want to dress semi-casual or throw on some heels, the atmosphere is comfortable. The music is above average. The alcohol isnt watered down like some of the other bars. The only issue I really have is how they shutdown at closing. Its totally unsafe how they herd everyone out. Only a matter of time before a major incident happens.
Great atmosphere . Scottty is great and makes a good drink.
This is a great place for karaoke. Karaoke days are on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Also the steaks are great and there is prime rib and Fridays and Saturdays.
Food was pretty amazing. Got the beef and pulled pork sliders, which were just about perfect. But those onion rings, thats where the money was at. Also got a couple beers plus the cucumber mule which was refreshing as can be on a late Saturday night in the middle of June and it did its job to say the least. I would have given Dukes five stars but I wasnt too fond of the $5 per person cover charge for the live entertainment, which was karaoke. Almost too loud inside to place orders for drinks and foodAnd way too loud to actually socialize inside. On the bright the outside was comfortable and had the outdoor heaters in case it got chilly. Plus the entire staff was friend and had a smile.
It may be called a bar and grill but this place has the best morning buffet for a great price in Hawaii. It’s 18 dollars. Great servers always attending to you and the food is absolutely delicious. I love the fresh omelettes , it definitely worth trying out. One more thing. It’s right on the beach. Awesome
Talk about the perfect place to wrap up a busy day, or kick off a fun night...Dukes definitely has something for everyone. The food and drink are fantastic and the service is personal and friendly. Definitely a great go-to for any day of the week, any time of the year.
It’s St. Paddy’s, so I called in a to go order of corned beef and cabbage. The line wrapped around the building, more so for entertainment purposes, but none the less they let me through. The staff, while ABSOLUTELY slammed, was friendly and attentive. My point...the food. It was unbearably salty (and I like salt). I get it, this is an audible menu item for a holiday that who’s to say anyone was prepared to celebrate and your staff may not be properly equipped or educated on how to prepare. However, after 2 bites of everything it goes in the trash. I’m talking meat, veggies, potato’s, and oh did I mention the salt? I’ll certainly give the regular menu a shot in the near future, but I HOPE maybe they sample the food they prepare before serving?!
I dont know what this place has that Im obsessed with. I dont know if its the cold beer, the good food, the great service, the patio, but every time I go there I enjoy it so much. Definitely 100% my favorite.
Best family owned bar and grill around. Uf you have the pleasure of meeting John an Gloria and the huge amount if regulars, you will embrace the hospitality and want to be back! There is a conversation for everyone, dont be afraid to spark on up!
There were 7 of us for lunch and a perfect day to sit outside. I really enjoyed my burger and shoestring fries from the lunch menu. It was really pricey for another that didnt order from the lunch menu. One ordered the Tuna sandwich and didnt like it at all.
Such a neat space! Get here early if you want a table or place to sit. Three levels. Its pretty dark inside. You really cant go wrong with any of their drinks, either (big menu! I hope you like rum!). The entrance from the street is pretty hidden so just look for the line of people or a bouncer at the door!
I came to order some food. The food was great! However, the waitress didnt asked how we where paying and asked for a card to hold a tab (just for some wings) no alcoholic drinks where ordered. She didnt asked other people for a method of payment. That was rude and very unprofessional. If you are going to ask one person for a debit card you need to ask everyone else for one too, or ask how are you paying?Horrible customer service!
We had Cocanut shrimp then fish and Chips we visited from Las Vegas,NV and the food was superior ourvserver was really great took good care of us the whole time. I give it 10 out of 10
Worst place around. Worst food around. Servers cant get order right. Bartenders cant get order right. If you want overpriced drinks overpriced trash food then come to Dukes bar and grill. Ask for Melanie / Melody. Theyll know who youre asking for. Gross customer service. Never wash their hands dont wear masks.
Not a bad place, very roomy and great service. The area is sketchy (got my truck broken into in their parking lot and I hear it happens a lot) but its not really their fault so I wont hold that against them. The bartender Aly is the best ever. Fast, funny and made our night. Next time im in the area and shes there, im definitely stop by.
This was my first trip here and I enjoyed it. The drinks and food were better than expected along with the service. Plus, they have karaoke 🙂
Ok get out and get away. A great place to go. Ive been coming here forever. I love this place. You feel like family as you walk in. The regulars are amazing the staff is extrodinary. Just a great place to be to get away. Have fun. If you are scared of covid dont come. A Hugh section of out door seating in 3 different sections allows this bar to have customers. So you will see people. But it is kept up to do what they can do to allow you some great food, good drinks, friends, and away time...
Had a great time with friends tonight. People inside and on outside patio. Patio was covered with heaters, & full size tvs. Wait staff was friendly and quick. Drinks strong and food decent for a dive bar. Great local place.
I always have a nice time here
Great place for drinks and Karaoke any night of the week. I love the hot wings they go from mild to very hot and the hot is no punk🔥🔥. Now Tuesdays they have really good tacos ...it goes great with a margarita. But on Friday night (my fave) they have a Dj. I like to go and dance on the back patio. They even have bottle service. Ive been to a couple good parties there. I cant wait to finally attend the St Patricks day event this year at Dukes. I heard it was epic!
Dukes is the new hangout place during this plandemic! Staff is professional and show their appreciation for the customers! First time coming here , 8/28/2020. Whatever they did, Im proud of them for being open for business because there is plenty of places that are closed right now. Thank you and I will come again! Thank you Kyle and Sierra for helping us out!
At night the restaurant turns into a night club lol. The DJ is great, fun atmosphere, people and staff are awesome, and the food and drinks are good. Would give it 5 stars but it gets so packed at nights on the weekends that one can barely breath or move around. The atmosphere makes up for it, but imagine how much more people can fit if you had more space LOL.
Good vibes. Didnt have an issue while celebrating St Patricks day. If Im ever in the area, I will stop by again.
Best place for kareoke. Food is good and the drinks are great. They have two outside areas and two different vibes going on. You can stay inside for kareoke and jam out with everyone or you can go out back and step into a completely different world of club music and lights. This place is definitely great. Like being in two places at once.
Waitress was a little to flirty with the men I was with. Can you please make sure to have the girls cover their tatas with some polo-shirts? If the guys cant show some skin then the girls can cover. Clean environment.
Saturday night around 11pm and it was POPPIN’. I tried to bail on my friends but they forced me out and I had a blast! All of the staff were very friendly and did there dog gone job! Felt like I was at a club... that had karaoke. DJ played a variety of music that kept me twerking into the new year like I’m bout to own it. Didn’t try their food but the alcohol... hunny! I highly recommend this place. Great crowd! Sorry, forgot to take pics 🤦♀️😂
Dukes is a fun spot. Right by the fwy. Plenty of parking space. Has Security at the door. They charge $10 after 9p Thurs-Sat. Has 1st bar with plenty of tables to watch a game and they have a Karaoke area next to the 1st set of restrooms. Big front patio. As you walk towards the back second set of restrooms that seriously need an upgrade. The 2nd bar area is roomy with the 2nd patio area where the dj sets up playing top 40, hip hop and latin A fun time most times gone.
A good place to go to hang out the food were good the drinks needed to be a little bit stronger less ice but overall Ill go back
Waitress was good. Nothing but attitude from the manager. She was completely rude when ask to change the tv in the patio. If you dont like your job, find something else!Food okBig patiosIm never coming back.
The place went under new management and ever since then their product went to crap. The new owner is more worried about saving a buck than having satisfied customers. The fish is tasteless, boneless chicken wings are more like popcorn chicken, the marinera tastes like ketchup, and everything is way too pricey. I dont feel the hospitality of a good restaraunt. The place, thanks to the new management has turned into a joke. Waste of time and money.
After six month being closed. Alot of same servers. Same karaoke guy and food was still good. Its nice to have another option to have a drink again first Friday open again and it was jam-packed
Its a really chilled place to go hangout a party, the employees very nice. Had eaten before I arrived but I must say the FOOD LOOKED AND SMELED DELICIOUS. Great music and crowd NOT costly at all Ill be going again🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
The food is good and the drinks are ice cold. Always a happening please no matter what time you go. Everyone is happy go lucky and always fast to share a smile. Unless if you come in thinking you are better than anyone else... LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
The security guard are not very supported if your not black I got jump by 5 black girls and they kicked me out instead of them and my only explanation is that they know them and they been doing this often to any person that is not black and they aint familiar with them I was knew to this restaurant first time there and had never experienced anything like this I dont recommend anyone here there was no reason for the attack and one of the guard pushed me to the ground for no reason when I was asking for help please anyone reading this stay away if you aint black and first time visiting there.
Every Wednesday Im there from 9:00 to 1:00 at karaoke Chris is the best DJ karaoke ever waitress is all good food is good atmosphere good music is good
Food was great ,they werent very busy but the waiter excuse for not attending to my table was its her friday she keep forgetting simple requests like a fork and napkins, other than id give it another chance
Stopped in real quick for a beer and an app after picking up our superbowl meal. Our server was great and had a good atmosphere
Sen is one of the dopest security I ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is humble respectful and has a sense of humor. dukes is ight as a whole but if you do go...make sure u holla at sen hell point u to a good bartender and dope area to enjoy your self
Best food I’ve had at a bar all the dishes are really good … great friendly environment.
Was not told about $10 fee to get in. The unnecessary cash to get in. And being watched by security for less than par food. If want to drink and watch game, this place is ideal. Beyond that, will not return for any reason. And automatic gratitudity for large parties of 6 is ridiculous if dislike service or poor customer service. If writing down orders, why are you asking did we order something.
My neighborhood bar!! I love this place. Great times, drinks and food. If you are looking for a good place to chill with a group friends, or singing karaoke, or even dance the night away, this is it Riverside! Very diverse and loads of fun!
Some of the bartenders are rude. But some are very nice. I feel the drinks are overpriced for it looking and feeling like a hole in the wall. Good vines though. Older crowd. Kareoke inside. Outside Patios both had tvs. At night they do hiphop dance music gets crowded with younger crowds.
Reopened Jan 31st 2018. This was a nice little spot before and the inside just got a whole new makeover. Super clean feel to your local bar now! Great job on the remodel
Went to watch Sunday Football. It started off great, but then people in the patio started changing the TV to the Raiders game and it was connected to the inside TVs. Not to mention it was on most TVs already. When we told the bartender they had excuses of why the games were changed. Bar has potential if they had more control of thier TVs. I DONT WANT TO WATCH THE RAIDERS GAME ON ALL THE TVs. Lol
It doesnt get much better then this for your local bar. Everyone is amazing. Great staff. Owners are the friendliest people. You feel the love and comfort as soon as you walk in.
This place is probably really great for locals or friends of the management. The bartender was trying but the manager had no clue what was going on. I ordered the carne asada nachos which were soggy. Spent 100$ on drinks and then went to order a dinner at 12:10 to only be ingormed the kitchen closed at 12 am. No where indicated that the kitchen closed early, so I asked to speak with the manager. Bartender left to find him, he returned then took 20 min yup make 2 bloody Maries that the bartended had to correct. I spoke with the manager after I paid my bill and tracked him down. His parents own the place and he has no clue what hes doing. With out a doubt this establishment could do better under proper management. I was traveling for work and needed a night off. I frequently travel to this area but will not return to the establishment. Bartender was nice, but its ran poorly. Food is definitely not worth it. Hope his parents read this and get someone more qualified to run the business.
Has karaoke close to my house and great drink specials. People are laid back. Easy going place for a drink during the week. Busy on weekends more like club atmosphere I prefer to go on Sundays
Had a great night! Great vibes great atmosphere, not too crowded.
Beer is always cold at Dukes!!!Nice place to hang out with friends fo a few drinks.Located near the 215 freeway and UCR.Lots of law enforcement in the area be careful with DUI check points.
Cool place to hang out and have drinks... Their food isnt half bad either.... Just dont open a tab with your ATM... These jerks double charged me and trying to get them to look through their invoices and fix their mess up was gonna be even harder to do....It was like trying to get them to reinvent the wheel again or discover fire....
Nice spot. Fun. Good night life. Strong drinks! Great space even during covid. You will definitely have a great time. Good music and all. Show sports on the TV too.
Super delicious food and high quality, the waitress are very friendly, Jhon, Nic, and all his family as well but, the food is the best of best, also you can drink, listen to music and karaoke 🎤....
Love the karaoke, next time I will drink less so I can nail it doing Eninem.
They gave out coupons that made our drinks $5 each. The bartender Ally was awesome. The food was great.
Pretty cool place to go for a drink... The weekends its pretty active loud music lots of people having fun. Pretty good food and its like one of the only bars in this area. Right by UCR... Right of the 60 freeway. Nice people...
Cool place for food and drinks and social gatherings,music,karaoke,dancing ,live dj on Fridays & Saturday nights ,$10 cover charge ,casual dress code hats tennis shoes welcomed..reasonable priced drinks and food..
Food is always amazing never had a bad experience if you like a like kick I recommend the spicy pig pizza its just the right amount of kick and if you want a classic go with the Phily cheese steak food is always hot
First time here and let me say, yes lolThis spot is a dope hang out the drinks are fairly made, a bunch of parking, i got lucky and got the back table where we enjoyed our food it was a great night!
Great place for drinks there. Great staff. Saw a roach which is why its not 5 stars. Would still go back
I WAS A REGULAR AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS.LAST MONTH I Was harassed By the NEW security GUARD ! and after the incident the security guard refused to disclose his NAME ?? emailed their manger and never got a response back. i was a regular until that awful incident ! DO NOT GO THERE unless you want to randomly GET harassed and threaten by the security GUARD for no reason !
Bring earplugs. Super loud at the patio. My voice got hoarse after chatting for 5 minutes.
Went for dinner at 8pm.. brought my brother who was 20 but server at door refused to let us in because it’s a bar.. even though there were kids sitting inside eating. We weren’t trying to drink at all and the server was kind of rude.
We sat in the back patio to watch the UFC fights and while we were there we saw multiple cockroaches on the couches. Then while we were waiting for our check they kicked us out because there was another party wanting our spot. We paid a cover fee to be there and still were told to move. Service wasnt that great and with the cockroaches Im glad I didnt order any food! Ridiculous!
Right down the street from my apartment. Karaoke is amazing with Chris! Sports playing and they will usually change the channel for me if I ask to watch a WNBA game. Highly appreciated. .
Very lively place, really liked seating choices inside, outside, and at bar. service was excellent, fun, and attentive with tasty cocktails which were reasonably priced
Great customer service, and music. You can use the jukebox app and play your own songs. I enjoy having my drinks away Dukes with my husband. Thanks to the staff.
I had to pepper steak for dinner its take on a serving of mashed potatoes with garlic green a side of vegetables it was delicious the salad was good too. The waitress very nice and brought me water upon request I will go there again
Such a great family owed bar and restaurant food and service is astounding I would highly recommend going there to have a quick drink with friends or even family is a great place to go and have a good time with good music and good people
The staff was very welcoming and the food was delicious. Felt like a local spot with lots of regulars.
I was charged for someone elses food!! When I sat down I was asked for a debit card to hold for my tab. I gave the woman my card.. she took my order of chicken fettuccine alfredo ($17 on the menu) I got water to drink. $0... after I finished and asked for my check.. the woman (who never gave me a check) asked if I wanted to put the food on my card. I said okay.. she then came back to me with a receipt for $37.18 charged to my card(including my meal and another burger of some sort) I stopped the woman and said I didnt have a burger. She said oh Im sorry.. she then went on to charge an additional $18.25 to my card for my single meal again and told me the 1st charge will fall off my card statement in a few days.. meanwhile my funds stand in limbo when its not my wrongdoing whatsoever.. BAD DEAL
I am a Duke regular...This is a top notch place using a business that has brought much pain to homeowners and elderly. We got burned by CA Construction. Read their review. Today our water loss in March has not been completed by Aaron of CA Construction in Riverside. Bad Choice!!! We are seeking assistance through an Attorney and CSLB. My wife had cancer and needed to be back in her home quickly. They did not even complete her bathroom, no tub toilet or floor.
Had a Blast! Food was Delicious 😋! Bartenders were Awesome & Cute. Cant wait 2 go back!
Ok I went back to dukes & I gotta say the service was way better the people were great I left a review on Yelp last time where one of the waitresses was pushy & wanting our group to leave even though we were not being rude at all but I decided to give it another go since its literally around the corner from my home & let me tell you it was great I do recommend dukes great vibes with the people there.
Kareoke is nice, Taco Tuesday is nice, u can party outside, nice location. There food is very bland. They have 2 sides indoor and 2 sides outdoor. Open 7 days a week.
Ive always have a good time. The staff are very polite. The music is goo . Only down fall I there not a dance floor an cant really dance because it does get very crowded. Food is good.
Ladies bathroom has a line around the corner, around the bar! A teenager offering drugs while waiting for the bathroom! Not very many tables to sit and enjoy a cold beverage. Mostly standing room only!
I love their wings! I had an ice cold draft beer and played lotto there today, of course I had some burbon wings and crazy hot wings also! Great place to chill.
Karaoke night is best. Friendly. Nice bartenders
My favorite bar!!! Karaoke Tues Wed Fri Sat sun!! Afro beat on Thursday are fun night to dance ur heart out!!
Get the spicy pig pizza. That is all.
I havent been there in years so it was different, but still fun. Ill be back
Ive been going to Dukes for a while now and honestly its a hit & miss now. It can be a LIT spot depending on the day you go. Its pretty spacious with 2 outdoor patios one which has a dj and dance floor for nite life club scene & 2 separate bar rooms inside, one which has karaoke. When I first started going it was actually pretty cool & chill, good crowd, good food and good music for those into mostly hip hop with a mixture of Spanish/reggaeton music. But after a while it seemed they tried to minimize the hip hop goers or African Americans I shall say. One nite it seemed the dj was taunting my party by continuously playing Spanish music and looking at us as if to see our reaction to him not playing hip hop music. But to his surprise although we look African American our nationality is of Hispanic decent and he was actually playing spanish music we listen to and are familiar with and when he saw we were dancing and enjoying ourselves he got upset and then began playing hip hop music, which seemed just a bit of a racial issue to me. The last few times Ive gone to Dukes I have experienced the same as the nite I felt taunted. However, I went this past weekend and it was live. Dj was on point, not as big of a crowd as there usually is but still cool & chill.. It felt like the old Dukes I once bragged about as being the HOT SPOT to go to. I really hope it continues to be the sake as this Ive known it to be because I really really Like this place.
The kitchen closes at 12pm and somedays they charge you 10$ cash to get in. Honestly not worth the time during the day cause it is crowded. Probably a good bar though since their is plenty of interaction.
This bar is phenomenal....Its mostly hip-hop but one side plays oldies, smooth and easy listening and caters to a more refined generation.
Always love Dukes Bar. Food always very good, the atmosphere is very friendly and lively. Service is always excellent. Pam B.
Great staff and atmosphere. Security was on top of it with out being testosterone driven and arrogant. My wife and I will definitely make this one of our regular spots.
Went here for the first time on Saturday and it was amazing! The food, service and atmosphere was on point. We will definitely be back.
It was cool but got iffy as the night went on. 3 fights happened and i didnt wanna stay around for another. Specially cause some guys were eyeballing me, probably looking for a fight. Im not about that lol
I just moved to cali 8 months ago from Cleveland ohio and havent been out really and my cousin took me here just on a pop up type of night and I really had a great time good music, people were cool nice spot and I do clubs for a living and this is a cool place to hang.
New Year Day 2018.....Yup open, food good, specials til 10pm come get them tonight if your around.Kareoke havent started til 9pmTrying thier steak out im a few minutes. Chesse sticks good so far so good kickimg back.Manager or owners kid keeps walking around (kid with hat and glasses) asking how things are. Dont know who that is....
