    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.

    Nice and cozy. Warm and inviting. The atmosphere and nice luxurious seating makes is a hidden nook to check out. Games are available for community use and fun with friends. I'll return but only after pregaming to watch my spending. It's a bit pricey for my taste.

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

    They're alright but they don't serve food. The ambiance was dull. The service was okay but unless you're a regular they don't really care.

    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)

    This has easily become one of my favorite places to visit once a month. As a wife and mother, it's…read moreone of the few places where I truly get to step out of "mom mode," relax, and just enjoy the moment for myself. The atmosphere is always welcoming, especially on live music nights. The owner is incredibly friendly and makes it a point to personally connect with every guest, which makes the experience feel even more special and intimate. It is a smaller venue, so I highly recommend making reservations if you want guaranteed seating because once the live music starts, the place fills up FAST. But every single time I go, it's always a great experience. One thing I truly love most about this spot is how it naturally brings people together. I've met new friends just by sitting, chatting, and enjoying the music and wine. It's such a positive and inviting environment. If you're ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by and showing support. And I absolutely have to add it's a Black-owned business, so let's continue supporting and pouring into businesses that create spaces like this for the community.

I went again last weekend with my boyfriend and our friend during the wine hopping event. This time it was busy. We were seated in the back room that felt like a conference room. I felt like I was excluded from the party because we didn't buy the tickets for the event. We were still paying customers. I did the wine tasting with 3 red wines and a personal charcuterie board. Bad time to come because we felt unwelcome. Limited to where we can sit. "It's reserved" Pros - lots of free parking - cute decor - good charcuterie board - waitress was nice Cons - I didn't like any of my wine - bad pour for the price - Boring I won't be back. There wasn't anything memorable.

    I came here with my friend on a Saturday night after a crazy month of working dawn to dusk. We were…read morereally looking forward to the food and ambiance, but were severely disappointed in our meal. The pictures posted by the business are extremely misleading. The pizza we received looked like corporate chain pizza which also lacked the homemade crust and sauce we expected. Either the recipe changed from when the pictures were posted, or it was an advertisement trap. The ambiance was great though. I loved the lights and decor. Another table also played mario kart and the switch which looked like lots of fun. Logistics-wise was a bit confusing. We parked in a lot across the restaurant. And I wasn't able to find a clear entrance and just walked through open gates and tables. I think you order at the bar and seat yourself/someone will seat you if it's busier. Then they deliver to your table. Our meal came out to $90 for 2 pizzas, 2 drinks, and a side of marinated olives. Would not come again.

    By far the best restaurant pizza we have had on the west coast (best street style pizza was…read morePellicola pizzeria DTLA). As a riverside native, I love the Backstreet patio and was excited to return in an evening setting. Husband and I did a short hike up Mt. rubidoux then enjoyed a romantic dinner at Devereaux House. We agreed it was one of the better date nights we have had in Riverside. We went on deftones and chess night. There was an excellent curated music playlist, chess boards everywhere, candle and string lights, and a really solid wine list. Ambiance was10/10. We tried the salad, meatballs, two pizzas, and an orange wine. Everything was 10/10. Service was insanely fast for how busy the place was (not an empty table in sight). The line to order appeared long but moved quick due to competent staff. Choosing a wine was a delight with a knowledgeable server happy to pour us tasters until we chose our bottle. If you're in Riverside, make this your next night out. It's worth getting out of the house for.

Stephanie and Lydia, co-owners, were manning the front and kitchen areas of this intimate wine and tapas bar. They're both excellent hosts, very friendly, and love to discuss their love of food and wine. It's not a huge place, with intimate indoor and sidewalk seating areas. On street parking is limited, but there are two parking lots behind the building, off the alley to the east. One lot is covered and has a handicap spot; the other lot is open. WINE: The current wine menu (see my picture) has a good selection of Latin inspired wines from Latino winemakers in Mexico, South America (Chile and Argentina), and the US. The wine list changes and as they continue to grow, they'll be adding more selections and countries/regions. Wines are sold by the glass and bottle. If you ask, they'll pour you a taste before you order to see if you're going to like that wine or not. My "Open Bottle Red Tasting Flight" was just $15 for three generous pours of Pinot Noir, Carménère, and Malbec. Glasses range from $11 - $15...very reasonable. FOOD: They offer "Bites, Boards & Platos Fuertes", which are tapas style and shareable plates that pair with your wine selection. We shared a couple of orders of the Empanadas ($15 for 3), which were baked perfectly. We tried the Beef, Chorizo & Queso, and Queso & Membrillo (Spanish cheese with quince paste...great as dessert). We also tried the Brie con Miel ($14) and the Puerto Rican Picadillo ($16) served with rice. Everything has great flavors and is quite delicious! Overall, this is a vibrant, fun little wine bar with great service, food, and vino. We're glad that they're here in the neighborhood and I can't recommend them highly enough.

The gracious hosts taught us the proper way of tasting wines. Delicious bites were paired with these wines. The lounge is quite small but there's beautiful inside seating as well as comfortable patio seating. A live band serenaded us while we were enjoying our meal and wines. Bands actually perform on select nights so call the place for inquiries. Wine tasting and paired bites are priced at a low price of only $25. Check their website to check upcoming events and booked asap because they tend to sell out fast. That's how popular this lounge and their wine tasting events are.
