W Wolfskill

This is our 2nd time here. It was great, our great cocktail Master Sheilah . She made the drinks we requested plus made suggestions on cocktails to try which were impressive. My husband and I found a great bar and bartender in this county. We lived in SD for a couple of years we know our cocktail palette.

Brought multiple big groups there because I think (some) of the drinks are good and I want to give them the business but I'm so tired of being treated rudely by staff and ignored at the bar. The worst espresso martini I've ever had btw

So honestly this place is cute and all, but I just had the rudest and aggressive experience with someone who claimed to be the owner that I would never come here again. I was just waiting for the bathroom, they're single stall here. It was taking a while so I jingled the knob a couple times to make sure it wasn't just stuck, and knocked after it went on for like 10 minutes or so. Some dude with a shaved head came out so I was just happy to go in, but the dude paused there and was like "Are we good?" I was just like sure whatever I'm just trying to go, then the dude went on "Cuz I'm the owner of this place so I think I can go to the bathroom whenever I want!" Like I don't think I can support a business whose owner is that hostile to customers and fragile in his ego. If he wasn't the owner, then I'd change this review, but that was just a very off putting experience.

Drinks are good. Atmosphere is vibey. I've only had the fries, they're not the crunchy kind, but their house made ketchup is tasty. It's sweet and reminds me of Filipino ketchup.1 star, however, due to the service. Our waters remained empty for the duration of our stay. In a near empty bar, our drinks took a surprisingly long time to get to us. Even then, they came staggered, maybe about 5-10 min apart. For a cognac neat and a class of prosecco. We saw our drinks sitting at the bar not moving. If it was busy I'd understand, but they're was maybe 4 small parties in the bar. I will say, our waitress changed and her attitude was much better. But the initial part of our visit left a sour taste.Wow, as we were leaving, we were asked if we paid for the bill. That was pretty hurtful. Do I look like someone who would skip on the bill? What vibes were we giving that we'd not pay for our order? If you have a system in place that allows people to pay for their bill independently, you need to have positive intent that people will pay for their bill, or just not do it all. I've been coming here since it opened with fond memories, but I guess times have changed.

Arguably the best craft cocktails around. Good vibe. Prices are a value in that they actually hand make every drink. Good menu is small but great.

W Wolfskill is hands down one of the best cocktail bars in Riverside. It's got speakeasy vibes as the exterior gives the look of a law office, but the inside transports you to a groovy dim-lit atmosphere, always playing great music. Pro-tip: They have happy hour on weekdays (Tuesday through Friday) from 5pm to 8pm. Here you can get typical cocktails like an old fashioned or French 75 for $10. I enjoy that they have a menu that rotates. I'm looking forward to trying cocktails from the newest menu. This bar is the perfect place to avoid rowdy interactions and enjoy careful preparation of your desired drink. They also have small bites that look really appetizing. Definitely adds some sophistication to Riverside's bar scene. The bartenders are knowledgeable, some nights they have a DJ spinning some records, and the host is very attentive.

I have been back multiple times and had to be one of my favorite bars. The servers are always great and the drinks are always phenomenal.

Such a cool spot! Loved the vibes and the cozy, dimly lit interior. It made me feel like I was on Mad Men, drinking with Don Draper.We got there around 10pm on a Saturday night, and all the tables and booths were taken. We ordered our drinks and stood by the bar until something opened up. We waited for about 30 minutes before we were directed to our booth.My group tried most of the signature drinks on their menu but my favorite was the Guajira. It's made with tequila, mezcal, charred pineapple, cilantro, bell pepper, and house spicy bitters. We didn't get to try their food since the kitchen closed at 10pm.There was music playing, but it wasn't too loud to have a chat. The staff were very attentive, frequently checking up on us to see if we needed another drink or more water.

Loved this place! I happen to be in the area and I was looking for a solid cocktail bar that wouldn't be too crowded or loud enough to not have a conversation and this place was just right. The bar had a really nice theme that welcomed conversation with friends or a date night. The decor was modern and upscale but the drinks are reasonably priced. I enjoyed their selection of tequila and mezcal spirits and cocktails which were all great! There are couches to lounge on and plenty of bar seating as well! Service was a bit slow at times but still very helpful. I'd recommend checking this place out for a chill date night or drinks with friends before going out. Cheers!

Wolfskil is my favorite bar! Their Sex on the Beach is the best I've had fresh and not fake or overly sweet like most places. I also love their Dirty Martini, always made perfectly. The vibe here is great, and the drinks never disappoint.
