    Just moved to the high desert and my husband and I had some family over so we were looking for a good chill spot to just go enjoy some music and have drinks. We found this place on and are so glad we did! It happened to be karaoke night so we karaoke'd as well. The host karaoke host was nice and the bartenders took care of everyone. It was a welcoming environment full of good vibes. I should mention it had more of a country feel based on the music that was being played (which I love) but im not sure if it's like this every night or if they switch up the genre. All in all we're so glad we found this place and look forward to coming more often.

    Amazing beer, wine and cocktail options! This place is awesome and just right down the street from my house so also convenient for me! I enjoyed the ambiance also nice place, nice bar and places to sit. Plus they have singers and Karaoke on certain nights. Too cool! I noticed they have darts too which looks fun. The service was on point also and the bartender was nice and helpful plus very attentive! Can't wait to stop by again for another night cap. I'll definitely be coming to this little gem again lots of times in the future! Highly recommend!

    My husband and I booked Better Days for our baby shower and it was so perfect! The space was enough for all our guests and the couches were so comfy and cozy for hanging out! We had room for baby shower games and used the dart boards as well! We hired a taco cart for food and they were able to set up out on the balcony with a table inside for all the extras! They allowed us to come early and decorate too. The staff was INCREDIBLE and they had such a great selection of beer, wine, and other fun drinks! The owners made everything so easy and were helpful and communicative every step of the way!

    Live Music at Better Days

    Great desert gem with awesome vibe and ambiance. Fast and friendly service, great adult beverages selection, usually has vendors food trucks right outside for delicious lunch or dinner. Darts, live music most weekends. Definitely one of the top spots to let your hair down on the weekend.

    Great space for tables for food .

    Fantastic place for an event also !!! Had my baby shower here on a Saturday morning just about a month ago. So awesome they offer it during non-business hours. Had the best communication during planning. The best service from Brett and Katie! Clean and a great time. Then all the little things did not go unnoticed by you two , helping during with cleanup, not even letting me try to clean or pull a wagon! They were amazing! If you are looking for a great place for a celebration Better Days is the place.

    Had very pleasant time here. The ambiance and overall look of this lounge is definitely a breath of fresh air (if you live in Apple Valley, or visit often, you know what I mean). I'd definitely recommend and visit again. The owner is very welcoming and friendly and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. I've yet to visit on a weekend, but if the time permits, I will definitely do so!

    Finally, a Stout!

    Long overdue review! Clean. Such a sweet bartender. Feels safe for women here. Calm and mature environment. Not dirty and creepy like most drinking establishments in this area. Probably one of the only places that serve decent stouts in the area. Definitely recommended!

    Still great beer! They always update their stuff. I'm impressed with the selection and they rotate through some great ones. Stop in for a pint!

    Super friendly bartender , Brett! The vibe is super chill, perfect for some after work unwinding and fun dart throwing. They had a Paloma Cider that I WILL be coming back for. They also have special events such as trivia and karaoke on certain nights. A must try.

    Better Days is by far the top bar in the high desert! Great service, atmosphere, and beer choice! I highly recommend it.

    Between bartenders drinking with friends and another doing shots it was hard to get service. Probably won't come back to this place.

    Do you serve hard alcohol as well, or just beer and wine?

    Beer and wine, although we do have a few fermented spirits we mix with. (Wine based vodka etc)

    Had my brother's wedding here and the staff was very welcoming, and professional. Not everything…read morewent according to plan but unless you knew the plan you wouldn't know because everyone was flexible and on top of making sure the big night was a success. The western aesthetic is charming and quaint so I can imagine a lot of good times had there. Docked one star for a particular flag that was super prominently displayed in the front lobby that wasn't the most welcoming for some of the patrons. Things like that should be put away when things like weddings are happening in my opinion.

    Honestly it was my first time visiting hilltop n its definitely gonna be my last. Night started off…read moregood was having a great time until I went to the bar to get a drink. Shalon the supposed general manager was rude. First of all I asked for shots she gave me one the she practically slammed the bucket we ordered at us. So I ask how much she said 76.00 where in the hell do people charge 56.00 a bucket so I asked around n other bartender said buckets were 36.00 n other guest there so basically this girl overcharged me but whatever u need the cash more than me koo keep it. But then I order another shot n get charged 20.00 im sorry but for the experience I have never dropped 100 on a bucket n 2 shots anywhere in high desert n then doesn't have the decency to open the bottles or give us a bottle opener. Any bartender knows u have to open any bottles or can ordered regardless. So I did put a complaint about this women to another worker n she was surprised as well. All I gotta say is you guys need better people in charge as general manager never again going to this place.

    Visited this great restaurant again! Had the shrimp cocktail (mexican style). It was so delicious…read moreas the sauce was a perfect blend of tomato juice and spices (not hot). You can squeeze lemon or lime in the cocktail or add hot sauce. Three fresh oysters were included. I love those but they could have been colder. Served with a beautifully ripe avocado on top and professionally cut cucumber, onion and cilantro, Yum!! The shrimp were good size and good texture (not mushy). My friend ordered cheese enchiladas. She orders them without sauce but the cook did a great job preparing them and she said they were perfect. The enchiladas came with beans and rice and we ordered salads that were extra. It was all tasty with fresh lettuce and good salad dressing (we had italian and ranch). Service was so so. We were there midday and it seems many restaurants are this way at this time of day. Not sure if it's because they send servers home and there are not as many to wait on customers or they have side duties that take them away from serving, but it's typical and frustrating. I will say the first bus boy was not good seemed very unhappy and never smiled but then a second bus boy showed up and he was smiling, helpful, friendly and saved the day!!
