I go to Joes every once in awhile mostly on Fridays & decided to go last evening to celebrate my 22 bday with a group of my friends. They automatically assumed that we’re going to leave without paying our tab, which would be very classless. We were being judged the entire evening even tho we were dressed pretty casual/classy unlike the old folks at the bar table, but who am I to judge right. Would really appreciate it if you stop judging us younger people, maybe it’s just different Fridays ??♀️

This dive bar in Riverside is everyone is welcome. It feels like a realistic version of the show Cheers here. Pool table good music great bartenders and Joe the owner coming out to say hi. We had a great time with food and drinks and meeting new friends at the bar. Choose this place and ask what's good the service was wonderful. Thank you for having us.

Mediocre service. Bar tenders are busy chatting with each other rather than paying attention to their customers.

I just went in for a quick drink on the way back to my motel. I ordered an Irish coffee. It was close to closing time and she didn't have a fresh pot of coffee so she used instant. I THINK IT WAS THE BEST IRISH COFFEE IVE EVER HAD.! SHE IS AWESOME!

Great attitudes, great food, nice and polite staff, best drink prices in town. Only complaint is the table could use some fresh felt, and maybe even upgraded due to the frequency of the dollar machine actually working.
I like dive bars like the rest of us. They're cozy, you can relax. My kids come here often to shoot pool. Just so happens that when we were there all the pool cues had the felt ripped off the tips Every. Single. One. The bottle of beer was ok, I like mine ice cold, this was fridge temp. The older I get, the pickier I get it seems. Didn't have any of their food, we all took off to find another bar they could play pool.Parking: It's in a mall type setting, so plenty of space to park

This place is not for certain people and they definitely pick who they want they're customers to be or so it feels like it and from open POV going There are bars you enjoy going to and then there's musty dusty and crusty here Do they go here, it's dirty, it stinks of old carpet, cigarettes, and you can smell everything. The bartender tan skin was okay she's moody. When I went the bartender was lazy to make a blended drink saying they don't blend but my friend said she clearly saw a blender and the server was an old white women who just looked like she didn't want to serve us and my friend and I just felt out of place not feeling welcomed it was definitely giving a little racist vibe along with annoyance bc we are young ladies but polite. The server took forever to get back to our table and just ignored us while she was new tables so we just left. Food is average, cheap and processed. The owner should definitely hire new people but then again maybe he enjoys how everything is.

I've been coming here regularly for about nine months. You really get a wide range of people--old, young, rich, poor, black, white, Asian, Latino, smart, dumb, gay, straight. I come to watch and listen. Don't expect to be seated by an arrogant old man in a tuxedo; this is a relaxed hangout for landscapers, nurses, claims adjusters, and linesmen. Nor should you expect the bartender to be wearing a bathing suit. She wasn't hired for ogling purposes (although some of them are definitely qualified for an ogle). The bartenders are friendly, efficient, and skilled. On busy nights there is a second server working the dining room so the bartender can stay behind the bar. Plenty of different beers, five on tap and dozens in bottles. Liquor selection is decent; they don't stock 467 different brands of bourbon, but there are options, and if you want a mixed drink the bartenders can usually accommodate. Most days the kitchen is open until 9, and the food is good enough to seem a bit out of place. I mean, you look around and see 70's decor and worn carpet, and you would assume that their signature dish is a microwave hot dog, but in fact they make a bomb chili verde burrito, the size of a 40-oz drink. Tuesday is taco day and its pretty obvious from how busy they are that the tacos are good, and also obvious how inexpensive they are because the place is full of senior citizens. The music is at a medium volume, which I like because I enjoy conversation. Depending on the bartender, it's usually classic rock, country, or hip-hop. The jukebox uses AMI (so you can put on music using your phone). You could play LA Philharmonic or Chuck Mangione, but don't expect anyone to be happy if you do. And don't tell anyone it was my idea. Karaoke on Tuesdays and Fridays, starting at 9:30. Not gonna lie, there were issues with the smell a few months ago; the stench was unfortunately coming from inside the wall of the men's room, which means the building owner should have been responsible for fixing it. After months of nothing getting done Joe was pretty furious and hired a pro to take care of it. Like an annoying ghost, the aroma comes back every once in a while, but now Joe knows what to do about it so he can exorcise it pretty quickly.
