Some of the best vegan food Ive ever had not to mention Im not vegan! This chef is amazing and these flavors OMG. Great ambiance and food. Definitely recommend it for a date night or just to get fine dining at an affordable price.

My lady and I love going here for the night life. Entry is free and $15 when they decide to charge. The service is great. The music is great. Dj on friday kills it. He has a diverse play list. My lady and I always enjoy hanging out here.

Horrible atmosphere, highly recommend checking out any of the other options nearby. Staff are incredibly incompetent.

While I was here on a relatively slow day, the feel is good, and the bartender for that noon was cool. As for the Orange Crisp Cauliflower, it was delicious. It had the right balance of sweet with a hint of garlic. They flash fry the Cauliflower which makes it tender yet slightly crunchy. It does have a touch of spice, which ultimately makes it a solid blend of sweet and spice (garlic ginger sauce).

$10 for one beer in a plastic cup not filled to the top. Friendly bartender, thoTake a look at some of the 5 star reviews. They are mostly fake! They claim the food is “savory“ and say it reminds them of another place they like. Must be the owner trying to make the place better than it is.

Got there before 10 (pregaming) and most of our group was allowed in except one person so most of us went in but kept waiting by the entrance till they let him in. Over 2hrs of him getting back in line, not only did they keep saying he was drunk, they brought more security guards and detained him and told lies to the police passing by that he was pushing and screaming at people in line. We saw what happened and than pointed out that we were also drunk (which since weve been inside only had 1 beer waiting). This place is terrible to its customers and you can see other similar reviews.

Man I wish I could comment directly on some of these posts! Its so one sided! You have people complaining because it was too crowed...its not crowded enough....its too small...its too big....Im Asian so you must be racist because we all look alike (by the way dumb ass, your whole comment was racist! All idiots are treated equally here!!)Ive been coming here for 15++ years. I love this bar and I love the bartenders here! I dont have a problem with any of them and visa versa. Maybe thats because I treat people the way I expect to be treated. No one is going to serve you with a smile when youre acting like a jack ass. Having said that, there are some justified complaints. It happens! The world is an imperfect place and things happen. We all have bad days.Anyhow,.....great bar, great people, friendly atmosphere! I recommend it if youre looking for a nice place to relax and have an ice cold beer or cocktail!!!! They have 30+/- beers on tap, plus a good selection in bottles and cans and a full bar! Come kick back with your friends / family. Listen to some good music and have great conversation.

Teach your A hole who answered rudely your little phone with his tough fairy voice regarding an order and than hangs up on me like some princess that his job is to get you business. Not give you one star.... I just ordered off Door Dash extremely polite and courteous with nothing but respect when calling. Lil tough phone warrior lost you an easy $100..

For a first time, it was a blast except when we got to the end of the night to close our tab. The bartender was less than friendly. She took care of someone else when clearly it was our turn to pay our tab, she ignored us and went to someone else and we waited and waited and waited and were pushed aside to close our tab. Not a great way to take care of patrons. The so-called bartender, acted less than professional. We wont be going back anytime soon.

Its a fun place. Good music. Normally play rnb hip-hop early 2000 music. Only down fall place is way to small for dancing. I recommend coming here like on a thursday so that you wont be jam packed like sardines on the weeknds. Worse case scenario can always leave and just go bar hoping to the neighboring bars.

Ja
Review №13

Id give this place 5 stars for the food, however zero stars for the wasted down whack drinks that are much smaller and more expensive than surrounding areas. If you come here, come when the guy bartender is here using the glassware. If you see the female bartender with the plastic cups, youre getting shafted. Just go to the presidential lounge at the Mission Inn. Better quality, more for your money... and same bloody price. Yeah... we were all surprised too

Went on a thursday night, gave the bouncer my id, all good, ordered an expensive whiskey and water, walked out to the patio so I could sit and vape and relax, jackass security comes out, says patios closed, I asked where can I vape he says out front, I walk out front within the rails, bartender pops out you cant drink that out there, by now im livid, CLOSE MY TAB I pound the drink in front of him, leave no tip, I bartend at a much nicer place, and know from experience how to actually make money as a bartender, I leave, and will never return.

Review №15

They have a horrible staff working there. Not only did they lie about their tab policy but they were extremely rude about it as well. For one they didnt state anything about a minimum tab charge and then LIED and said they address this entering the bar. They didnt say anything entering the club and took our drinks back without trying to give a refund. I had to ask for a higher up to get my refund and i was argued with back and fourth because the so called bar server was a family member so I couldnt possibly be wrong??? Wow this was the worst so I will not be returning my business there ever again. This bar is not worth the hassle you will recieve over a simple issue.

The sou chief made an amazing salad and surprise new menu item. Delicious! Not what we expected for a bar. The bartender made a good Bloody Mary and was very attentive.

Was there for New Years Eve the Bartenders where slow and rude telling people what they need to leave if they dont like the way the drinks where made. The male bartender with brown hair and a beard was extremely rude skipped over a lot of people to serve others who forced their way in front. He even skipped over me and served a group of white girls and 2 other groups of guys. While another group and I who are African Americans waited even longer when I said this isnt fair since we where skipped many times. Even though we asked nicely and waited to be served since we where there before the other people. They even over served girls who where hardly able to stand from having way to many drink while being fed drinks by men around them. Plus some of the music is outdated. Never going there again.

Good selection of beer and liquor at this party bar. Bartender was fun and welcoming.While they do serve food, the menu is limited to veggie and regular burgers, and just a few snack items.

Looks like they are doing some remodeling in 2019. I’ve always been grateful for the owner, Shelby Worthington, and her help with Mardi Crawl for Community Connect. She allows our group to stop at Worthington’s and Loft.84. The group always has a great time there.

Review №24

Fight went on between some dumb guys. Them and security spilt my $15 drink all over me and the floor. Ask bartenders about it, who are rude as fu*k and ignore you. Go to the door girl, she sends me to security. They tell me to wait and they never come back. Even asked all of them for a manager or a phone number how to contact the manager or owner. No one knew it or would give me the number. How do you work for someone and dont know how to contact them. Ive been to so many bars. Here, such a long wait line, the WORST staff, most customers are cool... but employees are by far horrible. Still $15 drink down the drain. Worst customer service for sure! Wasnt even worth the $5 door fee. Oh, and the most nastiest bathrooms Ive ever seen. Ive been to prison and even those were better.

Review №25

Reason for me to leave a 1 star was because service is really bad and I was charge 150 for a transaction of 69.85 and the guy had the nerve to give me attitude and try to blame his fellow coworkers for his mistake. I still had not received my refund when they said I would in 2-3 business days.... Now I will be making a claim with my bank THANK YOU!

My friends got two scooby snacks, i asked for a modelo michelada and took one sip, did not like it and he took back all the three drinks and said go somewhere else. Worst service ever. I have never experienced that from anywhere. He was and older bald white guy. Dont go to him if you need a drink.

This used to be the spot. But no more. Theyve really dumbed down the scene for the basic beaches. Not just Worthingtons. Most of the RVSD music scene. Used be cool and underground. If youre the real deal dont even bother. Pomona really has it going on, and thats coming from a born bred and raised 5th generation of Riverside

The bar tender are the worse Ive ever seen. Came in on a Saturday night only one bar tender and he told me that he can only be at the other end of the bar and CANT make drinks for the other side. And yes he was the only one working behind the bar and the only one that can make drinks. Then why do you have some many other employees walking around trying to find something to do. If they cant make drinks for customers why have them? Horrible just HORRIBLE will never come back to this dive bar

Review №31

I was allowed in on a friday, but saturday, another security guard denied me entry. I asked why and he said that they dont accept passport I.D.s. I have a legitimate, U.S. approved passport with all my information, including photo and age, and he denied me entry just because he simply did not want to accept it. A passport is a valid document and will hold up in a U.S. court. I asked him why and he got nervous and couldnt give me a straight answer, he said he just doesnt accept that form of I.D. This place needs to hire educated security guards. Once they see a passport I.D. they get intimidated and dont recognize it, so they will deny you, even if its a legitimate U.S. approved passport I.D.

Horrible place, security in the front said my friend was too drunk to go in even though we had just arrived to Riverside, and proceeded to take pictures of us. Very unpleasant experience. Also not the first time this has happened
