The Lobby Cocktail Lounge & Kitchen -Food CA (Near Riverside)

5 /5 DiveBarHeros: 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.

5 /5 Mariana: 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!

5 /5 Karina Mancillas Sandoval: 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!

4 /5 R.A C-R: 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 couldnt 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 didnt 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!

5 /5 Terra Scott: 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.
