I think this is the place more for age 19 to 25 on a Saturday night. Very nice place techno music the more upbeat lot of dancing. So if you like to dance and youre younger and live in Riverside this is the place you want to go to downtown Riverside. Bartenders are very friendly they make excellent drinks. And theyre extremely fast not a lot of waiting around for your drink. Very spacious different areas sitting relaxed. Now Im much older than 25 happy hour. The drinks are cheaper and its more of my age group. And I can play pool. And they have excellent food . I also met a lot of friendly customer and thats something that I like especially if you go by yourself. Im not sure what they have on other nights but the next time I go back Ill check it out and see and Ill let you know.

Wednesday nights is a great time for salsa y bachata. Instructor actually is fund and good, DJ invincible was connecting with the dancers each song, drinks were half off and dance floor was spacious. Overall great experience. Can’t wait to go back on Wednesday. Aurea Vista keep up the great work.

Finest night place in Riverside. It does not feel like a normal night club like a very big bar with fantastic DJs. The best floor will often have most music. The basement where it fractures tho.

If i could rate a 0 I would. I went to this place for the first time last night and i had such a terrible experience. I instantly was refunded my entrance fee and not allowed to get in because my friend was wearing a plain black hat and they didnt let him in with it upon walking in there was many ppl wearing black hats. We went to go get his hat and they had thrown it out on the street and never told us about the $3 check cover charge. Would never be returning to this place security takes there job as if they were the law so ridiculous

This is my first time giving a review...this place deserves it!!! Four married ladies just trying to have a nice night out. This place was our first choice. We decided to go to the downstairs level. Ordered a few drinks with patient and friendly bartender. Found nice free (non-vip) lounge seating area next to the DJ, bar and restrooms. Great mix of music. Pleasant atmosphere (with a few isolated situations) and the security guards did great by quickly addressing the situations. We felt very safe! Place was clean, not overcrowded and very professional staff. Definitely a place to visit again! Thank you for making our night out such an excellent experience!

I love to dance but this place is way to hot, little to no ac in there. Staff definitely plays favorites, hope you know someone working there in order to get good service.

This would probably be one of my favorite Mexican restaurant. The food here is amazing. All thanks to Carly for being so welcoming. Her recommendations were just yum. Lastly, the bread pudding is a must try!

We got bottle service last night service was absolutely subpar, even by DTR standards. Ordered a Black label and coke as well, but to this moment I still don’t know what it was. I saw them pour the black label but whatever they mixed it with tasted to be like 70% Sprite 30% Coke is the best I can describe it. They used the little handheld nozzle so I’m not sure what they poured. Once 130am came around they flipped the lights and it would seem as if they were trying to get rid of homeless squatters. I wouldn’t dare go back. I think you can have a better time at Chili’s rather than here.

We Went to the club last night around 1:30, right after we paid for the drinks staff turn the lights on and asked us to move up stair. When we come up they kinda rush us to leave and throw my drink after. I used a restroom? All my friends just got outside and cannot finish that: I write the comment not because your place is not good, we used to come here a lot loved all decoration every thing look nice but after last night we wont be back again.* they took our money and threw us out*

I went on a Friday. Cover charge was fine except the club was empty. They make you spit out your gum in your mouth and throw away any packs you have in your bag or pockets. They have these old couches that are reserved but always empty because this is riverside and not L.A. or Vegas. Who would pay for bottle service in downtown riverside? No one!... They charge for water and soda which is not usual. Most places give you free non alcoholic drinks if you are the dd. This place gives you a cup of ice and directs you to a water fountain. Its ghetto that they even have a water fountain. The bathrooms are not nice or upscale by any means. They are run down. My biggest problem with the place is the rude staff. This place is best for the 19 to 22 year old crowd. 24 and up there are better places out there.

Best night spot in Riverside. Doesnt feel like a typical night club, more like a really large bar with great DJs. Top floor will usually have most current music. Basement where it cracks tho.

Really cool decor, and decent drinks. My favorite aspect is the downstairs, which caters to a more Rock/Punk type crowd (which has been sorely needed in Riverside). Heres to hoping the Aurea Vista stays around for a while!

This run down excuse of a club needs to realize its not located in S.D. or L.A They create a fake line out front to justify trying to actually charge a cover to walk into this dump! Then once youre in you cant seem to figure out why youre there? The rent-a-cop, loser, degenerate, power tripping security guards are racist punk cowards! No one theyre working as such. Dont get caught while white here cause these big lipped darkies trying to be security monitors wont let you in. Haha DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!

First time and last time at this establishment. Staff unprofessional asked to speak to a manager and no one wanted to step up and speak to me regarding an incident asked for supervision or even the owners name oh we cant give that information out really?!? if your not doing anything wrong then you shouldnt be hiding behind I dont knows. This place will never see my money or business again way to many other places in downtown Riverside than to bother with this place. I have emailed the club and left yelp reviews awaiting a call back to see how management will handle employees non sense.

This place has some of the better music in Downtown Riverside, but the fact that they charge a cover is obnoxious. Ive yet to be in there and see it packed, but they purposefully create a line outside to justify the cover. Theyre obviously getting money from the bar theres really no reason to charge a cover.

Great place to club. Great music upstairs and downstairs. Nightlife of DTR. Or just chill with friends and play some pool.

Needs better promoters and staffs that actually know the differences between an upscale club from a bar they have been used to working at... The bar tenders have god complex

Couldnt get in because my driver license from Florida had a hole punched from the DMV here, after getting my Cali license the day before. They said my paper permit wouldnt help. Im 30, and obviously not underage.

New bar in DT Riverside. Its very nice. Neat area to chitchat, pool table. They have a basement to chill tol but the night I went (Moving Units played) it was closed. What a bust. The large long bar with the mirror is a nice touch. They habe a little stage for performers. Awesome. Even a concessions looking stand for tapas I assume. Fantastic beer & well prices the night I went. Phenominal sound system. I just felt the owner couldnt distinguish itself from a club or a bar... venue? It has potential. Ill be back!
