Menagerie

Charles E Bernard Jr

If you are the funloving type of person, about 11 pm, everyone gets on the dance floor and some people are talented dancers. others like me just move: yet still have a good time. This club has every kind of beer that i have ever wanted and even some exotic ones that i havent tried before. Excellent club...i've been to others and however the bartenders all 10s.

Super fun place to go that's mega friendly! They have different deals and themes every night!! It was the first over 21 bar I ever went to and I'll continue to be loyal. Menagerie is an amazing local bar! Plus the drinks are cheap and strong! Tony the bartender is my go to guy whenever I go. He makes the best drinks and is always a blast! It might not be a WEHO club, but there's definitely a reason why they have so many loyal regulars. I can't think of a better place in riverside! Check out their drag shows on Thursday!

I went into this bar for the first time a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was pretty empty when I went in, but it definitely gets more packed as the night goes on. The drinks are delicious, I particularly like the white gummi bear (?) and the mai tai's. The prices are pretty good compared to any prices in LA or near there. The vibes are nice, and the atmosphere is energetic.

The sign initially attracted me because it said it was a unique bar. It wasn't until I stepped inside did I realize it was a gay bar. I decided to sit down for a drink since I was already there. Lots of lights, techno music and open air inside the bar, felt pretty gay. The people seemed nice enough and the bartender called me baby, which I thought was adorable. Overall, a nice place to have a few drinks.

Drinks are expensive costed 18 for a tall drink, idk why but everytime i drink i get a weird cough for a week or 2, the music here is so boring always the same. Only positive thing is the vibes of the people mostly pretty cool to be around but very weird people too...

This gay bar is much more low key then the VIP. I like it because it’s not trying to be a trendy gay bar. There’s music and a dance floor. But if your like me and aren’t much in to dancing there’s a back room that opens up to a patio. The music volume is much lower in the area. Making it a good place to talk to friends. Though even in the back you’ll need to speak loudly. Oh yah, there’s a short to no line and no cover charge. Even on Friday night. There are things I don’t like. If you want a drink, you need to stand in a line at one of two cash registers. My friend and I got a seat at the bar and for well over 30 min the bartender kept saying, “I’ll be right with you guys.” I think it was about 45 min until we realized that if we wherever going to get a drink, we would have to stand in line. The other thing I didn’t like was the fact that the bartenders didn’t want to give drink recommendations and where kind of rude. Other then that, it’s an okay gay bar with no cover charge. Key word being “no cover charge!”

Bathrooms are always a problem. Last time I went, security named Eddie was blocking the bathroom, guy comes out and let's a girl in. I didn't know I had to wait in the girls line although I'm a guy.. I said what the heck to the security and he completly ignored me. He could have said that they are just trying to fasten up the girls line. But no, he acted like I was some drunk gay guy although I was not. Made me feel a type of way and security could have been more nicer and professional about it.

Rude bartender. We went to the bar, and found an open spot. The bartender pointed at this lady ordering a drink, then after came up tom friend and me and said "you can stand there all you want, I'm not going to tell you again". Everything else was great, but frankly, the bartender being so rude when he could have come up to us the first time and said there was a line completely turned me off from the place. We left after that

The guy with the glasses is super unprofessional. I asked for a drink if he could switch it out because he didn’t make it right and he said “ Don’t order something that you don’t like” with a major attitude. He has no customer service experience. Super rude! I don’t know who hires these people, but they are not fully trained or good for business.

The bartender said his name was Jose, but in fact I think it was Tony when I asked another friend of mine. This is the second time coming to this bar. The first time was absolutely amazing but this time the bartender was so completely rude, It floored me. I had a seat right next to the cash register and it was busy but I was not getting served. So I got up and stood in line and I heard him keep shouting super loud and I asked him to stop shouting so loud ...please He then shouted even louder !! He then he gave away my seat to somebody else when my stuff was clearly there and he knew I was sitting there. I'm trying to get in contact with the owner to let him/her know about the incident but I haven't been able to find a good contact number.

Was in from wi was at the bar for over 45 minutes. Not one bar tender asked what I wanted to drink. I had a twenty in my hand and on the bar .. I guess they only serve to the regulars. He waited on people both sides of me more than once.. I guess I'll go somewhere else to drink. I'll never come back..

I went to this club four times total but last night I got really scared about how the staff treat and look after their customers. I was in a group of 5, we just ordered our drinks from the bartender, 15 minutes later one of my friends started to feel bad and asked me to get her some water. I got in line and on my turn I asked for tap water and the bartender said he could not give me tap water and turned away. After that, I caught his attention again and said I could buy a bottle of water. Unreasonably, the bartender said he could not sell me water thru my debit card. I appealed saying my friend was not feeling good and the guy literally said that was not his problem, adding that he had rules to follow. Whatever these rules are, I don’t recommend a dog to set foot to a place that denies the most available and basic need of a human being, specially in a party. This action is inhuman and unacceptable. I called my friend out and we left the club. We went to the next club and there were plenty of water sold/ given to people.

I went here for the first time last night and got two adios drinks for my friend and I. I was charged $27.25, I wrote $0.00 on the receipt because I gave a $20 cash tip instead. Those were the only two drinks I ordered before I left, NOTHING ELSE, yet I have two separate pending charges of $6.50 and $5.00 on top of the $27.25 AND the $20 cash tip? Seems really shady. I won't be coming here again. Also that's fraud. Check your balances after coming to this place.

Place was great a couple of years ago. I don’t know who’s in charge of the hiring process now but the new “security” is absolutely horrible. Some people snuck in a drink that was being passed around. We were handed it (didnt drink it of course and tried passing it off) but security saw it in my hand and decided to kick me out. Tried to tell them the situation but instead of listening they said they didn’t want my business and that they make enough money already without our group. Never been treated so poorly by any other club. If you wanna have a fun time don’t come here.

There's a short guy that works for you guys. Don't know if he's security but was highly rude to me even though I wasn't in the wrong. I still apologize and was continuously rude and disrespectful for no reason giving me attitude because the woman's wrestling took so long my friends had to use the men's restroom. And I try to apologize and explain to him why they were in there and kept telling me keep it moving and was very disrespectful to me and my friends he was a short Mexican guy who wanted to be very aggressive and with attitude for no reason whatsoever and it didn't even need that. Thinking twice of going back here now. Hopefully they get better employees because having disrespectful employees like that is going to run people out of your guys's bar and not want to come back. I understand for being upset for my friends having to use a men's restroom but it didn't need that attitude and disrespect that he gave me for no reason even though I was apologizing and being kind and nice to him

So they kicked us out even though someone else had tripped one of our friends and they thought it was our fault? We were literally pissed off cause he didn't even give us a chance to explain. Fire that guy asap cause he sucks at his job if all he's good at is profiling. Literally made the night much worse apart from it being crowded, the shoving and the long lines for the girls restroom. People don't know how to act and it seems neither does security. Would definitely recommend but just be wary of security and other people.

Awful drinks with the CHEAPEST ingredients. No food at all. Music and dance lights are repetitious and boring. Bathrooms are extremely uncomfortable, we had to go out back into the alley.
