Don’t come here. Drinks are 90% Ice and the cheapest alcohol they can find.

About tonight. Cleaners were sprayed near the ice. Also, we had only two drinks and found something red frozen in my second drinks' ice.To clarify, we did ask the man cleaning, as politely as you can in this instance, if he meant to spray that area where it also landed on the ice and he got very defensive and claimed that, "I didn't. I saw what I did." followed by a second person, a shorter lady, who then took it upon herself to be suddenly VERY involved with what we were doing or saying, even from the other side of the bar.A third person, a woman as well, deescalated everything and kept it professional. By that time, we were done.I get dealing with rude customers or drunk and disorderly people on a normal, but there has to be some common sense used. Especially when dealing with health concerns from customers while they really are concerned and not causing some sort of scene.This could be my villain origin story ?♀️

My favorite place to get a good cocktail, watch the game, or just hangout. Their bar manager, Sam, is one of the best drink makers in downtown!Rest of the staff is always super friendly as well. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good drink and great service. Always good vibes!

My go-to spot when I am downtown. Perfectly located in the Riverside Food Lab (lots of different food choices inside the Food Lab to eat. Yelp them too lol).Wilson's is now "Brass Monkey Social" & I love the concept. They have hands-down the best, most creative craft cocktails I have ever had. There seasonal craft cocktails are so creative and cute!! & even cooler knowing they are created by the bar tending staff themselves. There service is the cherry on top of every visit. The manager, Sam, is so involved with the staff, working behind the bar and promoting the events they frequently have. I consider the bar tenders real friends & real conversations. (S/o to Kat during morning shift and Dez and Meriah during the night shift. & all the boys on the crew!)Definitely a must try when you are in the downtown area!!Also, s/o to them for being reals ones and always creating an awesome Mocktail for me, since I am no longer drinking. All pictures attached are non-alcoholic mocktails.

Amazing bartenders and amazing drinks would recommend to anyone looking for a good bar in the riverside area. You should try the butterfly effect.

Brass Monkey in the food lab is the place to go for a quick drink or a long one aha. All the bartenders here are really good and creative- living in the area is definitely a perk cause of here

I went to grab a drink at Wilson's yesterday after a very stressful day and wow am I thankful I went! Thank you Sam & Erick for really making me feel welcomed and just overall the exceptional service! Both so attentive and personal that I almost forgot I was at a bar. Thank you both! Drinks and pricing are great as well , looking forward to my next visit!

This place has amazing cocktails and the staff is the best. I keep coming back for the seasonal specials. Highly recommend!
Existing inside the food lab, this place offers incredibly overpriced and underwhelming cocktails accompanied by mediocre service. I visited Wilson’s and ordered a seasonal cocktail served in a 9oz plastic clear cup for $15 (before tip.) Quite the price tag. Considering the location and look of the place I expected so much more.Save your time and spend your money elsewhere ??

Seriously, Ido NOT understand the great reviews for this place. $13 for barely an ounce of Kettle One in a 16 oz cup with club soda. Bartenders were not attentive at all. Even people with bank loads of money should avoid this place. Go to the Presidential Lounge at the Mission Inn. $9.50 for the same drink and you will at least taste what you're paying for. I can count on one hand the times I've left a tip less than 20%, but today was the day. I will NEVER go back to Wilson's.

I love how my bartender does my mix drinks the best I ever had. I highly recommend this place.

The bartenders seem more interested in themselves than tending to anyone at the bar.You really have to go out of your way to get a drink here.I kid you not the bar tenders stood in a circle taking photos of themselves the entire time.The two girls that work here are horrendous at customer service.The guys aren’t as bad.
