Growing up in Riverside this was the place to get a fantastic all American Cheeseburger. Great place to take the family and enjoy some sports. I take my son here all the time. Pool tables arcade games for the kids. The staff are always welcoming and kindKid-friendliness: Arcade games so men watch sports

BEWARE! DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD! While on a road trip, I went in for a VERY quick drink with my husband. First of all, it took them 10 minutes to greet us at the bar, even though there were only two people in there. Second of all, their drink prices were ridiculously high. Last and most importantly, they changed the tip amount and charged me more than I authorized. I kept my receipt and disputed the additional tip they gave themselves with my bank. READ the the other reviews and steer clear of this place. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

I had a great experience at this place. Leadership and staff friendly, caring, and attentive to asks and needs. Food is solid and good portions, drinks made well, and site equipped with many TVs for great visibility. Well done, I will visit every chance I can.

We visited Events Sports Grill over the weekend and had a great time overall. The atmosphere was lively, and the place was clean, which we appreciated. The highlight for us was the affordable pool tables priced at $10 per hour, allowing us to enjoy some fun games without breaking the bank.However, there were a couple of downsides to our experience. Some of the pool sticks were old and missing cue tips, which made it challenging to play at times. Additionally, the pool tables themselves appeared to be quite old and were showing signs of wear, with noticeable drink stains.Despite these minor issues, the overall value for the price was excellent, and we still managed to have an enjoyable time. With a bit of maintenance and updating of equipment, Events Sports Grill could easily become a top spot for both casual and serious pool players alike.

Completely disappointed! Came here hoping to get some food, I sat at a table for around 20 minutes and was never acknowledged. I'm curious if it's normal for people to just come in and set it a dining table for fun. Was my first visit and I won't be back. Probably worth noting that I'm not an easy person to miss because I'm 6'5 not exactly easy to overlook but somehow they did.

They charged me for my food, but never gave me my debit card back when I asked why I haven’t received my debit card back. They tried to blame me saying that I must have misplaced it, but I assured them that they never gave it back to me. I waited 45 minutes in the 45 minutes that I was waiting not only were they not looking for my card But they also insisted that I was the one that misplaced it. They didn’t even care to look for it, and then they tried to say they were looking for it but again the entire time they were blaming me when they never gave it back to me do not come here unless you want them to take your debit card and not give it back . It’s a very slow Thursday. There’s barely anyone in here how they lose someone’s card I have no idea I didn’t even come in with a purse. I literally came in with only my card and my keys in my pocket and yet somehow I’m leaving with only my keys. It’s very very sketchy. I don’t recommend this place at all the manager this blonde lady was zero help. Every time I tried to express to her how frustrated I was that I’m 45 minutes away from home with less than half a tank of gas and I need my debit card back and I know without a doubt that it’s in this establishment and the fact that she refuses to care is just ridiculous, not only that, but she wouldn’t even let me finish a sentence. She consistently would interrupt me over and over again. In fact, she even threatened to call the police on me, telling me that I’m causing a disturbance in her establishment when I wasn’t causing a disturbance to customers had gone out of their way to ask me , what happened and I told them what happened I didn’t go out of my way to speak to anyone. Those customers spoke to me and yet the manager got mad that I was telling them what happened And threatened to call the police on me is not sketchy?

For anyone who reads this, please make sure to pay cash. My friend was charged and suddenly the card was lost. What's more sickening is that they convinced themselves that my friend misplaced the debit card. Pretty shady, be careful guys

Allowed an unauthorized tip! After calling and speaking with someone who was suppose to relay the message to the manager, I never got a call back for a tip charge that I didn’t sign off on. Shady and sketchy! I’m never coming back and letting everyone know. It’s unfortunate because the food was good.

Sad day... after over 10years as my sports bar I must look elsewhere. Gone are the football crowds. And gone is the service. The last couple of times we went there the place was empty except for a few people at the bar. Every time we needed something we had to interrupt the bar tender talking with their click. Tonight we even had to go into the kitchen to find out where our sandwich was after almost 30 minutes. I feel like I've lost a good friend.
Events is a great spot to watch a game and enjoy a cold beer. We really enjoyed the food and the service was top notch. Great atmosphere and a bunch of pool tables.

You don't usually respond because you don't ever have reviews, and it's obvious why.... however your response is unprofessional, dismissive, and your account is completely false. I had been awake since 8 am for my job at a school as an educator. Anywho, I called the police after my keys were refused to be given to me. The police came because I reported an assault in which you all encouraged this man who was old enough to be my father physically assaulted me resulting in me on the floor with shoes off and back against the parking lot pavement. When I asked the police can they escort me in so I can pick out the perpetrator, they informed it wasn't possible because they were all fearful of a 5'3 150 lb mid 20 y/o. I was there with another young woman who witnessed the discrimination and mistreatment and would have intervened had your false account actually took place. In addition to the young lady and her owner lying to protect each other as some bosses and employees do, I had been there for hours prior to her shift beginning, and had been paying and tipping extremely generously all night. The entire situation began because I expressed my discomfort with the n- word being used and was told I'm overly sensitive. When I was asked to leave for "disruption" (correcting conversations that were demeaning to any person who isn't a bigot or racist), I complied but couldn't because leave the premises because someone took my keys and refused to return them. They went as far to say I stumbled in already drunk and didn't have keys which is why this lie comes as no surprise. My keys are attached to my AirPods which showed the location of my keys inside the bar. Below are phone records of me repeatedly calling and them lying saying they weren't there. The time stamps shows my multiple calls to the bar and then the immediate calls to the police twice. After a vigilante decided to defend the bar shouting "why don't you just go back to the hood" amongst other micro aggression that were racially motivated I assumed it was security but he was just a patron and I had no choice but to call law enforcement in fear that self defense could get me in legal trouble and jeopardize my job. Also the context is extremely important. It was me and another young lady (also a person of color), outnumbered and across from the police station. I told we will not engage or escalate because the optics are not in our favor. But to say I was aggressive, and attempted to attack a woman, and I was belligerent is false because when the police arrived I would've been arrested or cited for that behavior. This all took place Wednesday, so yesterday (Thursday) I called the police department to check in on my police report, they in turn gave me the number to the department handling my case but told me they were unable to get any names (even though the bartender worked there) of any people involved). They told me if I were able to mention those involved in the matter they can began an open investigation because they told the police the entire story was fabricated by this stereotypical "aggressive, black drunk guy wanting to attack a woman" so they had no lead's. below are two more screenshots showing ,y phone calls with both police stations and then having to call the bar asking for camera footage from inside or outside the bar in which they claim the cameras don't work and don't ever call again. To lie and distract from the truth is disappointing but expected from an establishment who not only upholds discrimination but clearly and proudly aligns themselves with its destructive and cruel practices. People of color should go, if they want to feel an unspoken Jim Crow experience and environment. You're all welcomed in but we won't all experience the same treatment unfortunately. I'll leave a recommendation of other bars including one that are predominantly white that don't have half of the racial insensitivity or disrespect that my friend and I were s

1. Black gunk all over the menus. SO GROSS!! Received the menus to order, noticed they were dirty. Broke out the wipes in my purse, wipes them down and black gunk all over them. But not before my husband touched his face and got black all over it from the menu. How dirty is your kitchen? 2. Took waited 26 minutes to come to take our order. Hmmm, no thank you since your menus are dirty. 3. Bathroom smelled like a dirty mop.
