I came by to see Flamingosis and stopped here for a drink. I was warmly greeted by the hostess who took my order for the patio seating and I was able to sit and enjoy right away! Prices were fair and the vibe was great way to enjoy my Saturday. There's are many fun drinks 10/10 would recommend stopping by for some drinks
We have come here a couple times for drinks and I always have gotten the strawberry guava seltzer and I love it! It's a bit small inside but they have plenty of seating inside and outside. They also have a bar inside and there is a hostess stand right near the door and they are able to help with any questions and seating. Also everyone has always been kind and helpful. I want to come here and try the food one day because everything sounds good on the menu!
The ambiance is really cozy. It's an outdoor bar being a jacket if you're coming during the winter. The service is excellent! Mark is a stand up guy. Really friendly and made an excellent old fashioned. The food is a modern twist to Mexican food. The flavors are outstanding. I'm definitely coming here more often to drink and kick it with mark!
It's okay if you're looking for a quick bite or drink but nothing more. Think of it as a lay over to where you want to go, a pit stop to your destination. Why? Well it's near a university, so it's supposed to be fairly affordable, but it's not. $7 or $8 per taco? Get real. Yes you read it correctly, that's for each taco. Sure they were good but it's hard to mess up a taco. The mixed drinks were good and dainty, small glasses, small portions but good. I tried one and it was served in a tall slim glass filled with ice from the bottom to the top. Let's talk about the food, they have appetizers and 2 main plates. I had a chicken chorizo sandwich. It was ground chicken and chorizo formed into a patty between two soft Chinese soft pancake buns type buns with onions and fingerling potatoes. "WHAT?" I know I know. I had to try it. I had to try it but removed the potatoes and ate them by themselves. My wife had tacos. Since it's next to a university, most of there customers were between 21 and 27. Other than another person sitting at the bar, they were only three people older than 40 at this place and that's including us. So if you're looking for a place to go out for dinner, this is not it even if you're a university student this is not the place for dinner if you're looking for a pitstop to grab a drink or a taco maybe this place. But if you're looking for Tacos, there's a taco stand right before this place that seems to be very popular.
Stopped in The Farm House Collective in Riverside and tried Bar Ni Modo without any prior knowledge. The perfect mix of great food, cocktails and vibes! The food is definitely artisanal without any pretense. The food and flavor stand up. The bar's drinks are the same, very good but unique. Staff was great ( Jason (?) ) really was informative and intensive. Will be back and the whole Farm House Collective needs to be explored.
When I tell my fellow Riv expats there's some nice new establishments back in the hood, they all look surprised. I get it. Look, I'll always have love for the OG RVSD establishments. That said, when you experience the panoply of offerings in LA, other U.S. cities, and other time zones, and find a location in your hometown that punches in the same weight class as some of these other zip codes, the joy is that much sweeter. Bar Ni Modo is bout the business and stands 10 toes down with these other foos. Cuisine: 5/5. As of my second experience, nothing disappoints. All of their salsas come correct! Quesadillas and carnitas are savory and flavorful. Beverages: 5/5. Mole Margarita. Say less. Plenty of sabor and bass to this one. Representing. Mezcal old fashioned and TQM are solid too. Service: 5/5. Yo, shout out to the servers! LA can learn a thing or two from y'all about hospitality and keeping it real. Respeto. Ambiance: 5/5. Playlist nothing but flames. Cumbia. Salsa Dura. Merengue. Corridos Tumbados, Corridos Bélicos. Dope interior style, plus the outdoor vibes at Farm House Collective. Say less. Buen provecho!
Stopped by to grab a drink and chill out as we waited for the UCR Battle of the Bands to kick off. We sat at the bar (always one of my favorite places to sit to watch the bartender work their magic), seats were comfy. There is some seating inside as well as outdoors (covered and shady). The staff was great, very welcoming. They had a nice happy hour menu too. Beers were around $8 and my Jameson club soda (which was Topo Chico and my favorite) was $17. They were working on some new drinks for their menu so cannot wait to make it back up to Riverside to check them out and give them a try! For sure a great place to grab a drink, bite to eat and just relax and hangout with your friends.
New Bar at the Farmhouse Collective! Went here to meet up with some coworkers and it was great. $15 cocktails, that are delicious! We tried most of the cocktails and they were all unique but worked very well. All flavors were balanced. Hoping to come back soon to try the food. Service was great, the server was very accommodating. Ample indoor and outdoor seating. Located inside a shopping food mall so there's even seating outside of the actual bar.
Came here last night with some friends and was surprised:) loved the drinks and it was nice that they offer mocktails . All our drinks were very tasty
Bar Ni Modo has easily become one of my new favorite local bars. Their clarita's cafecito is one of my favorites & always tastes good. The foam is always perfect. Staff is also kind and attentive. My fiancé also really enjoys their old fashioned. We went recently on Halloween and they were giving out complimentary pan de muerto with every order. It was delicious, I also loved how they decorated for dia de los muertos. Honestly just a gem of a spot & they always have some kind of event going on. A perfect place to grab a drink with friends or grab a small bite and hangout. :)
Located at the farmhouse collective. An intimate Mexican themed bar/restaurant with inside, bar top or covered patio seating. Parking can be limited during busier hours or during concerts. Warmly welcomed and attended to. Great service and food. We tried items from their brunch menu. Fresh ingredients bursting with flavor, great for sharing. Served 11am-3pm. Separate dinner menu. Cocktails or mocktails and sodas are available.
I was really disappointed with our experience. We were the only people in the restaurant, yet the service was extremely slow, which didn't make much sense. Our server seemed to avoid our table and acted like she was having difficulty understanding us -- even though we were speaking English clearly. It made the whole interaction feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Overall, the lack of attentiveness and the way we were treated left a bad impression. I hope management works on improving both service and how guests are made to feel when they dine there. I was excited to show my family this restaurant but hey you can't win them all. The female server was rude and not kind.
Well, we were there the day before they were getting ready to close so leaving any type of review feels really lame, but I wanted people to know As I assume they were getting ready to close, they didn't have a great selection of beer My husband wanted to Michelada and he tried it with the pickle beer and he liked it, thankfully The service was great, and the inside looked really cozy Unfortunately, we didn't get food from here and I could not recommend the place that we did get food from but it was the opposite end of the farmhouse collective read more

Finding a fly in a drink is bad enough, but what really disappointed us was the response. When we told our waitress, she shrugged it off by saying, "It's the time of year." read more

This is our favorite place at the Farmhouse Collective and our main reason for visiting so needless to say very sad about their closing. The food and service are great and it's the only place to get a real cocktail (which are all fantastic as well). Wishing the whole team the best on their next endeavor and hope to be able to support where ever they pick up next. read more

I have been here at least 5 times and I always have a wonderful experience every time. I love the coco mami drink--it's amazing for a sweet tooth like me that enjoys tropical flavours. The beef cheek tacos are also delicious! They are so well crafted and the flavour combination of the toppings & the beef cheek is complex in the best way. I get both every time. The menu is limited, but the few items that are on there are made very well. The service is amazing, with friendly staff that go out of their way to ensure that guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. Shout out to AJ & Sophia! I also like the ambiance. I enjoy the outdoor seating that allows you to stay connected to the rest of the Farmhouse. Indoor seating has a nice sort of hidden away vibe as well. Overall, I love this restaurant! read more

Got there just before noon on a Tuesday and had our choice of tables. We ordered the breakfast burrito and an order of chilaquiles. Both were excellent and half the burrito is a great leftover. The burrito was huge! Staff was attentive, professional and personable. We sat outside and just as it was heating up, the misters came on and made it very pleasant. Looking forward to a return visit! read more

Cute bar in Riverside with upscale vibes. The cocktail menu is diverse and fun and they were kind enough to make us some dirty martinis although we had to get 'special permission' since off-menu drinks aren't allowed usually? I would come back, I'd like to try the other drinks. I do wish they had some more substantial food options as well. read more
Came here with an appetite, left with just a buzz. The food? Honestly nothing appealed to me especially when I saw the price. Thankfully the bar saves the night. Cocktails were actually really good. Well crafted and deftly delicious, we will return. read more
We were attracted to the vibe just by walking by and decided to have a drink. Sat at the bar and had great service. Had a martini and a larger with a shot. We also tried pineapple rum. 8/10 for pink Aguachile. Fresh tostadas and it was marinated in hibiscus which was very unique and delicious with a slight touch of spice at the end. The best part was the drinks bar service! The bartenders were so kind and real. They really set the vibe and enhanced the ambiance. Place is very clean and the music inside is nice because it doesn't mix with the outside music. read more
Cute spot to have some drinks and food. The music was great and menu had enough variety. They opened at 5pm and we were there right when it opened. We were seated quickly. You can sit at a table, at their inside bar, or in their patio area. The food was tasty and came out quickly. The drinks were very presentable and delectable! read more

This drink is A++. For someone who does not prefer vodka, the flavor is so well balanced that it's unnoticeable. Vodka, cafe de olla, coffee liqueur, cold brew, demerara. Drinking in an open air bar is also a plus. Service was fantastic. read more

It was the perfect summer evening for dessert @ Bar Ni Modo! I love all things corn. So I've been dying to return for the treat - The CORN ICE CREAM! Oh my goodness!! So so good! If I hadn't been with a friend, I'm sure I would have used my fingers to get the last bit of the Cojita Chantilly (tasted like pure heaven)! It's a must try! read more

The drinks were okay. Not leaving much to be desired but they were okay. I was served by a guy with a buzz cut and because of him 10/10 service though. After, I'm not sure if there was a shift change but we got a female server that was incredibly rude and gave us the stink eye. I was wanting to come back and give more drinks a change because of the guy but after we were served from the girl, we will never be back. Sucks that one person can ruin the experience for the group. read more

Best new spot in Riverside for ambiance, drinks and food. Quaint and not a large group environment. BEST espresso martini - on the sweeter side! Unique cocktails and interesting take on Mexican food. Great for romantic, date, drinks with a friend! Not recommended for kids. read more

Second visit, this time for lunch and they did not disappoint!! All the food was amazing! This time around we tried the Carne Asada Hash, Panbazo, and Torta de Chilaquiles. The Hash is a new item and you can't go wrong with anything on their menu that includes their carne asada and salsa ranchera. We were skeptical about trying the Panbazo with their chicken chorizo but it had really great flavors and was cooked to perfection. The Torta de Chilaquiles was a flavorful combination of green chilaquiles with thick juicy chicken milanesa and pickled onions. The Tamarindo Lindo cocktail was recommended and did not disappoint, the flavors mixed nicely and made for easy drinking. The service was warm and friendly and Justin, the manager, personally checked in with each table. And the music was on point the whole time we ate, loud enough to sing along but quiet enough to have a conversation without raising your voice. read more
