Festive Atmosphere. Hosted our Friendsmas here and it was a perfect setting. The decor was uplifting and incited the holiday spirit. The food and drinks were amazing. Recommend Fridas Flowers Cocktail, the crispy wings and mushroom ravioli. Our entire group had a blast! Shout out to Chris the bar manager for helping us capture our gift exchange on film. We appreciate the wonderful customer service! Thank you!!! #downtownriverside #riverside #cocktaillounge #inlandempire #riversidebars #riversidecounty #nightlife #riversideca #ie #cocktails #cocktail #cocktailbar #craftcocktail #craftcocktails #nightlife #room77 #room77riverside #cocktaillounge #buzzybooth

Came here for an annual Gals-mas dinner! Made reservations 2 days in advance, we were all extremely excited to come here for the atmosphere, it was a rab bit underwhelming! They couldn’t accommodate 9 of us inside, so we were sat outside. Which was no problem. There were no heaters to help keep warm. Our server, I believe her name was Zoe, or Zoa, she was amazing, she did her job very well! However when it came to our food, half of us did not get served. The kitchen was backed up, so our food was brought out one at time, some of us girls didn’t even receive our meal at all. They were discounted and apologizes were said for the inconvenience, not management, but our server Zoa or Zoe, sorry for messing up your name girl! Needless to say the drinks were amazing the appetizers, like the cauliflower and twisted fries were amazing! I got the mushroom ravioli, it was good but not great. I would like to experience it again but from the inside on a less busy night!

The Lobby is hands-down one of my favorite spots in DT Riverside. They always go all-out with their holiday decorations, and the place looks incredible no matter what season it is. Super cozy, classy vibe without feeling pretentious.
Their craft cocktails are legit, and I love that they also carry Happy Dad Hard Seltzer—always a win in my book. Drinks are consistently good, and the bartenders know what they’re doing.
What really makes The Lobby stand out is the atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot for a date night, a more intimate hang, or just a mellow evening when you want something different from the usual club chaos everywhere else downtown. Low-key, stylish, and always a good time.
If you’re searching for a cocktail bar, romantic spot, or just a place with great drinks and great ambiance, The Lobby is it.

This place was great! We were randomly walking around downtown on a layover and this Promoter came up to us and gave us some tickets for discounted drinks, but also told us about how this bar was having movie night that night and they were playing the goonies. It was a special deal where we sat in the lounge and watched the goonies, and you got a appetizer, meal, cocktail, and even popcorn and candy all for just $30! What a steal! Also, when we walked in, I noticed the ambience of the bar was really pretty and they have a lot of great photo op spots for the gram! Overall, we had a much better time downtown, I think it was a Monday, than we thought we would, and it was all because of the lobby. The service was really great as well. When I mentioned that I was freezing, they actually did turn the AC down and you could tell. A lot of times with other places when you say you are cold, nothing happens because usually it’s controlled by something else. So I loved that. They actually turned the AC down. If I am ever in Riverside again, I will definitely come back here.

The atmosphere was GREAT! Felt like I’ve been teleported to a different world. The espresso martinis were a 10/10! Definitely a cute place to come with your bestie!

Very cool place. Unusual drinks that are so imaginative! I had the Captain Planet which comes with a souvenir ring. The drink was delicious. Will definitely go back for that! My friend and I shared the Bao Tacos and thoroughly enjoyed them. Sam was our waitress and she is a real sweetheart!

We came on a Sunday at 11:45 and there was no one in there, sometimes we had to find someone if we needed anything.
Regardless, the drinks were absolutely delicious. We had the salted caramel espresso martini and the Serena- so well crafted The breakfast was amazing. Eggs were cooked to perfection, the toast was brioche or something, so it was way better than regular toast. The burger was THICK. Cooked so well and tasty. The twisty fries- OMG I don’t even like fries and I couldn’t stop eating these. They were seasoned so good and had the best crispy outside. We will definitely come back for brunch.

Haven’t tried the food. But love this spot. Wed-sun they have live djs. If you like oldschool 90s/2000s music. This is the spot. Parking at the lot is like $10 Chill place to have a talk and drink but can also be littty the later it gets . The bartenders are the best here ! Good vibes all the way!

We made a reservation in advance and were given three seating options: patio, inside, or mezzanine. I chose inside because I did not realize there was a difference, and the main reason we chose this bar was for the Harry Potter themed mezzanine.
We were seated promptly, which I appreciated, but not in the Harry Potter section. I asked if we could move upstairs and was told it was full, but that if the 6:30 reservation did not show, we might be able to take that table. At that point, I did consider leaving since the theme was the reason we came.
Our waitress, Brooklyn, was wonderful and even double checked availability for us. She came back with the same information, so we decided to stay and have a drink since the menu was the same. Brooklyn was great at helping me choose a cocktail she thought I would like.
She also told us we could go upstairs to see the Harry Potter themed area. When we went up, it was mostly empty, which made it confusing why we could not be seated there.
We arrived a few minutes before our 6:00 pm reservation and left around 6:45 pm. It took about 15 minutes to receive our drinks after ordering, even though the bar was only moderately crowded. That said, I really enjoyed my Christmas in Cali cocktail, and my friend enjoyed their Long Island iced tea along with the happy hour tacos.
Overall, Brooklyn provided excellent service and the drinks themselves were enjoyable. The seating situation was the biggest disappointment, and clearer explanation of the reservation options would really help set expectations for guests coming specifically for the themed experience.

Small, but gorgeous bar!! Great place for a casual drink with friends or family. The earlier the better in terms of crowd size, but it’s like that in most bars.
ALSO EXPLORE THE DRINKS! LOTS OF FUN ONES! Mine came in a damn bathtub! 10/10
