The Tastiest Beer Bar in Riverside

Thompson Brewing

★★★★★ 4.5 (590) • $$

"Restaurant is located in the middle of a industrial parking lot Once inside you order then proceed upstairs to eat Food came out fairly quickly Only downside is you do have to go downstairs for refills and cups are super small Also for the price servings are extremely small as well My husband ordered a cheeseburger and came with very few fries definitely should be serving a bit more Staff was nice Total for two was $45 Are pet friendly"

Cask & Hammer

★★★★★ 4.5 (371) • $$

"Came here for a date night last Sunday, and we had a lot of fun! It's not too busy on Sundays, so it feels like we have the place for ourselves. We ordered 2 Moscow mules (perfectly mixed), and we played Jenga and pool. It's $2.00 to play pool, and you can get change from the bartender. The bathroom is small but clean; tables are clean; music plays all night, but you can also pay to choose your own song. They have an outdoor patio and free parking. It's a perfect bar to go to if you're in the area."

Evans Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.4 (89) • $$

"This is a fun little spot. The staff is cool and the vibe is nice. Great place to hang out and have a few drinks, talk and play some games. I'm probably not the best person to review a brewery because I really don't like beer. I'm more of a Whisky kind of guy. But I will say that I tried all of their seltzers and they were really good. My fiance loves their Nects on the Beach which has a nectarine flavor. In fact, we just brought home a couple of 4-packs. What I will say is that their prices are awesome. Such a great value in today's economy."

Birria & Beer

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6)

"Looks like their going through their soft opening stage but the food is still great. Ill definitely be coming back."

Hammer Workshop & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (389) • $$

"This is hands down one of the best cocktail bars in Orange County!!Located in the Anaheim Packing District this place is a must whether you're local or visiting!!All the bartenders are amazing and they pour some mean drinks!!Cheers!"

Club 616

★★★★☆ 4.4 (119) • $$

"Came here to celebrate November birthdays with some coworkers. Super cool to have visited an establishment that has been "serving Santa Ana since 1928".We arrived around 9p, so there wasn't a line outside. The security staff were friendly and welcoming (humbled to still get carded...LOL!). I could only imagine how cool this place must have looked like back in 1928, so fast forward to 2024, the interior was very inviting, dimly lit, with plenty of table and booths inside. There is a spacious patio outside with a DJ playing good music, taco guys serving up some delicious grinds, and a talented local artist doing her thing!The drinks were refreshing and overflowing! Awesome seeing a diverse crowd in there with the common denominator being a great time! Would definitely come back here again!CHEERS till next time!"

Heroes Restaurant & Brewhouse - Eastvale

★★★★☆ 4.2 (508) • $$

"This restaurant is massive, just like the portion sizes they serve. The atmosphere is lively and fun, with sports playing on TVs all around.Service is solid--I usually get seated quickly, and they're prompt with taking orders. The food is classic American, and it never takes long to arrive.The food is generally good. I came here mainly during breakfast and lunch. Be sure to come hungry, for the portions are enormous, and be prepared to take leftovers home.My only gripe is the noise level; it's way too loud, which takes away from the overall dining experience."

El Calentano Mariscos

★★★★☆ 3.7 (15)

"" New Great Tasting Mexican Seafood Restaurant "This New Mexican Seafood Restaurant in Perris, Ca has only been open for 1 week. And the Mexican Seafood we had was so different and delicious from many Mexican Seafood Restaurants. Alexa was our server and was very nice as she took care of all of our dinner needs, with a Big smile on her face. The restaurant is very open and clean, with music and large TV's on several walls for you to enjoy some Mexican music. We started the meal by tasting the crispy tortilla chips with some delicious spicy salsa. We ordered 4 separate meals to try. We had a Campechana Coctel, which was Shrimp, Octopus, Scallop, and Abalone in a very large Chalice Gablot. We also ordered a Coctel de Camaron which was Shrimp Coctel. We also had a Taco Governador and a Fish Taco. We also enjoyed a Tamarindo and Horchata Mexican drinks. The Food was very tasty and super tender. All of the food looked and tasted Great ! And the drinks were super delicious also. This new Seafood Restaurant is a Great place to go for some awesome Seafood and music. Check it out, you will not be disappointed !"

Pelicana chicken

★★★★☆ 3.9 (198) • $$

"Once my husband got a taste of Korean fried chicken, he could never do regular wings again! This is one of our go to places. We always get the cheese and signature sauce crispy wings. Love going in person cause then they'll refill the cabbage salad for free. But we still order them when we get take out. One day I need to order the dukbokki, but it's so hard to stray from our favorites!! The waitstaff is usually awesome. I've enjoyed their micheladas too. It's nice and clean inside, though we tend to do takeout more than eat in. Anyway, in a nutshell: 10/10"

Tacos & Beer

★★★★☆ 3.8 (991) • $$

"Just picked up this gigantic chorizo con huevo burrito from this joint. Not only is it delicious they only charged me $3 for it because of some special. I even went back in and told them I them I think you gave me too much change back since that particular burrito is $11 on the menu. Well I came up it was huge and delicious."

Urban Dripp

★★★★☆ 4.4 (473) • $$

"Urban Dripp is a delightful gem for donut lovers! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the vibrant aesthetic and decor. The beautiful illustrations and eye-catching neon pink accents create a colorful atmosphere that's truly pleasing to the eye.The donuts are showcased beautifully, highlighting their wide variety of gourmet specialty options. I tried the lemon blueberry and red velvet donuts, and the lemon blueberry stole the show for me. Just a heads up, if you're expecting traditional mom-and-pop style donuts, you might be disappointed, as Urban Dripp offers a much more elevated taste experience.For gourmet donuts, I'd rate Urban Dripp an impressive 8/10. I'm already looking forward to returning to explore other flavors and sample their drinks. Definitely worth a visit!"

The Taco Man

★★★★☆ 4.1 (81)

"Update:Went back to try the tacos again. Thank you for hearing me out and tuning the saltiness down by a notch! Carne Asada and Al Pastor tacos were very tasty! : ) While it was over-salted the first time I went, this time has been great!Would definitely come back again!"

Kazama Sushi

★★★★★ 4.5 • $$

"The food here is absolutely delicious The staff is friendly, attentive, and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. We never had to ask anything twice!" Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish."

SoCal Taqueria

★★★★☆ 4.1 (635) • $

"10/10 food, service, and vibe. The chips came out fresh and HOT. Literally cooked right then and there. The salsa bar was amazing (just wish it had limes but the hostess/server/bartender was so friendly and nice when we asked for a side of them:) Tacos and Cheeto burrito were soooo good. Coming back asap."

Kluddes Cast Iron

★★★★☆ 3.9 (16)

"Such a cute breakfast spot. Food was good and service was great ... so friendly so attentive answered all our questions ... definitely recommend when visiting oak glen ... we bought a mini mixed berry pie to go and it was do good"

Pio Picos Tacos

★★★★☆ 4.3 (564) • $

"Haven't had carne asada fries in awhile. But this was not bad! Definitely gave a good amount of runny guacamole, if not more than I wanted lol. Didn't need the extra side of guac for 75 cents. Green sauce is kinda spicy still but it's their lowest level of spice and it's medium. Honestly, it seemed spicier than the red sauce which is meant to be hot. Would've loved for there to be more tomatoes like a regular mild salsa. Fries were ok. $17 ish for extra guacamole and slight tip."

Woodhaus

★★★★☆ 4.3 (124) • $$

"This spot is perfect for an evening catching up with friends. The pizzas I've tried have been the margarita, mushroom, and pepperoni and they were perfectly delicious. Every time I've gone in the staff has been very nice and welcoming. I highly recommend!"

Elevation 6752

★★★★☆ 4.4 (13)

"A delicious Michelada after work at Elevation 6752 is exactly what I needed! And it's happy hour!! Delicious! And nice ambiance! Update! I went back for their mimosas, yummm!!! They do different juice flavors which is really nice!! I had 2 mango, and one guava so so good and definitely a spot to stop and grab a drink! They also have packs of beer, bottles of wine and hard soda's for sale!! You definitely have to stop by and mingle with the staff!! Great vibe and super friendly! Love it!"

Machete Taqueria

★★★★☆ 4.1 (401) • $

"Love Machete! Everything here is delicious and people are always friendly. Beer on the patio? Yes please! Before I tell you all the good stuff, know that this isn't fast food. You order at the counter and they make it fresh. So plan in advance to spend more than half hour here. Get a beer or sangria and have some nice conversation while you wait.They specialize in seafood and I haven't had any (vegetarian). My son has gotten the ceviche. It's a generous portion and ie beautifully plated. He said it was delicious.Tacos de Papa are really good! I like that a lot of their menu lets you choose the dish and then choose your protein or main component. And they have two veggie options! I have only had the mushrooms and they're fabulous! On the torta, the flavor soaks through the bread. So good!They have breakfast that you can get all day! How great is that? The juevos revueltos (scrambled eggs with potatoes ham and cheese) is tasty. You can get standards like breakfast burrito and juevos rancheros. There's also a breakfast torta. I'm partial to the mullette, bread with black beans and cheese. Simple, delicious, and enough for two meals. They do catering too! You need to inquire with the manager. We had a taco bar and horchata at a party and got rave reviews!"

Fat Lip Pizza & Beer

★★★★☆ 4.3 (166) • $$

"Finally tried the pizza here!Friendly staff when I went in on Friday. I like that the crust on the majority of the pizza is not too thick. Just right! Price, a little on the higher size. Taste. It's good, maybe a bit too much seasoning. Wings are okay. Ranch, too potent. Honey sauces! Really good, especially the hot honey!"

The Iron Press

★★★★☆ 4.1 (524) • $$

"Do yourself a favor...get the pulled pork bbq sandwich! When i tell you that thing smacks...it smacks the taste right into your mouth!Staff is kind and patient. This place is located upstairs inside the Anaheim packing district nice chill place to eat and just vibe out to the environment."

HIGHPOINT Brewing Company

★★★★★ 4.5 (115) • $$

Barrel 33

★★★★★ 4.7 (454) • $$

Speakeasy BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.8 (364) • $$

"We got there about 15 minutes before they opened and the young gentleman had us come in, and he took our order. He explained the menu and gave us options. Many healthy options to choose from. The food was good and the prices weren't bad. Plenty of parking and it is close to the freeway.It was worth the drive, we will be back soon."

Beerfarm

★★★★☆ 4.4 (126) • $$

"Great service. Friendly service. Our server explained the beer flights and different toppings for the flights on holidays. I was here during Dia De Los Muertos. I enjoyed my Mango Wheat beer from Murrieta,CA. I look forward to ordering a Beer flight in the future and play arcade games next door. My company enjoyed their beers, they were from San Diego."

Smudgepot Brewing Company

★★★★★ 4.6 (19)

"Really good beer and really good service. Definitely swing by and check out this place if you are looking for a nice brewery."

De Poca Madre Modern Mexican Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (469) • $$

"De Poca Madre Modern Mexican restaurant is indeed modern with a very interesting menu, a fusion of American and Mexican dishes.I liked its interior decoration as soon as I walked in. Its table arrangement is interesting too, with ample space between tables for conversations.I ordered the burrata salad which looks amazing and delicious. Presentation of the choribeef burger is stunning too. Service here is adequate but not too notch. Considering it only has one person serving all the tables, she is likely doing the best she can."

Omo Mercado

★★★★★ 4.7 (31)

"Our favorite wine bar--hands down! Not just in the IE, but in all of Southern California.The team has created something truly special: great wine, excellent music, a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere, and warm, welcoming service. Most importantly, they've built a high-vibe community that makes every visit feel like a celebration.We discover and enjoy new wines every time we visit and have never been disappointed. Plus, their selection of non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, and merch is just as impressive.Omo Mercado is a gem--we can't recommend it enough!"

The Blazin' Claw

★★★★☆ 3.8 (759) • $$$

"With COVID restrictions all of the tables and chairs are moved outside into a few parking spaces that actually seem like a bigger space. The staff is super friendly. The portions are a great amount for the money. They do sell alcohol. The downside is they do have a long wait time because there is limited seating. BUT they do allow you to purchase non alcoholic drinks while you are waiting. That is why the 4 star rating"

Fire Rock Burgers & Brews

★★★★☆ 3.8 (259) • $$

"Stopped by here a few weeks ago with a very large group of football players. We arrived almost an hour earlier than our reservation time. The establishment is small. I want to thank the staff, we had to wait for a little while, as you normally do with a large group. But, they made it happen, they moved tables around and accommodated our group. The waitresses were extremely patient. If I'm not mistaken, the manager even came in to help, she wasn't on site. A few parents in our group were a little antsy and the staff handled it very well. The food was delicious and it came out really quickly. My husband and sister really enjoyed the wings. Great customer service"

Village Sports Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (150) • $$

"Great place for all ages. Service is good with friendly staff, the food service can be a little slow so please be patient. Food was good too. Great drinks. Good place if you have a big party as well. Plenty of TVs and games to play."

Unique Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (89) • $$

"After dinner up the street we took a walk on Saturday evening for a chill drink and pleasant comfy hang. Not too loud, cool tunes. Happy hour sake, beer and snacks, but a full menu of draft beers, sake, soju, wine, and we have to come back for food-- looks like interesting fusion. Downtown Ontario is getting fun and hip, looking good fam!"

Raymond Ave brewing company

★★★★★ 4.9 (18)

"Great intimate place to enjoy a good craft beer. Good friendly service. Dog friendly. I walk my dog there and have a beer or two :)"
