Nice spot for a drink & to meet kewl people.

Place rocks! Always a good time!

I ordered a water and was told water costs $2. Took out my card to pay and was told there was a $10 card limit.Fun Place though!

I walked by this business while the bartender (Pablo) posted a sign outside that listed all domestic 20 oz drafts to be $5 between 2-7p.  I walked inside and order two 20 oz domestic drafts, and the same bartender charge me $15.25. I told him about the sign posted outside.  He just smirked and briefly waived his hand as if the sign was just a joke and told me that the promotion doesnt start until 9p when the sign clearly says between 2-7p.  What can I say? Well, lets see: false advertisement, bait and switch, unethical, etc. I will never visit this bar again. I cant believe businesses are willing to lose customers over a few dollars, to me is like shooting yourself in the foot. It doesnt make sense at all.

Nice place to meet with friends, dance , drink and watch a good show

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, Im 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

Super fun place to go thats mega friendly! They have different deals and themes every night!! It was the first over 21 bar I ever went to and Ill 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 theres definitely a reason why they have so many loyal regulars. I cant think of a better place in riverside! Check out their drag shows on Thursday!

I would give 0 stars if possible! The new girl (assuming she is) was beyond rude when asked if she knew how to make a specific drink. One of the employees knew my brother and sister so I expected good service but instead but treated with sarcastic comments and rude comments. I would not recommend to star off or go to at all as the first bar. Awful. She was about 54 MAYBE 57 African american and short hair. Went to the point of trying to start a fight. So terrible.

There was quick and friendly service. Prices that are reasonable.

Service is always prompt even when they have a full house. the staff was friendly and observant. food and feeling reminds me of kansas city.

It was so savory. the service here is great. the place has a cool atmosphere. food is like a place in baltimore i loved.

The food was so savory. Looking forward to returning with my coworkers. Prices are appropriate.

I had a cousin come into town and she asked me to go back here. Ambience reminds me of San Diegos scene.

Had a little more fun here than I expected Dance, Drink, and Enjoy your time here! Great Vibes

Very friendly people and nice bartenders.

A very Disrespectful DJ by the name of Shavo is why I’m leaving the bad review. When you lack integrity as an individual and your and your not considerate of how your actions affect other peoples lives you reap the reciprocity of those actions...this guy needs to learn respect, you have to deal with the people in your community and around you on a regular and you ever know what will return when you move in bad character.

The most amazing bartenders and staff the best bar in Downtown Riverside

Love it its always my go to place my favorite drink is the LA water watch out though they can be dangerous the only thing I dont like is the bathrooms one for woman one for men they should both be open for whoever

I love pablo hes hella cute he recommended the best drinks.

Came here on a saturday. the staff was very welcoming and observant. prices were reasonable. food is like a restaurant in jacksonville i loved.

Great music, friendly people, but unfortunately the bartender was extremely rude :(

I dig this place. Its fun and every time I go the atmosphere is just fun and free. The tunes are great! Love to dance here.

The sign initially attracted me because it said it was a unique bar. It wasnt 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.

Monday night karaoke is good. I bet is crazy crowded on weekends... small dance floor... you have to go to the front of the bar to order your drink... bartender was nice enough.... Im used to bar mates making an effort to make you feel welcome and comfortable, no the case at this bar

Great hospitality. Prices were average for the menu.

Fun gay bar. Dance floor n smoking area.

Spent the weekend in Riverside. With a town that only has 2 gay bars The Menagerie was a blast. Loved the music, mix of 90s dance and modern jams.Bartenders were friendly, worked fast, and poured a decent drink. David the owner was really nice gay ..May you keep The Managerie open another 34 yearsThanks.

Best Drag show! So much fun!! Great drinks and jello shots! The boys are cute too!

Worst bartender ever. So RUDE. WONT be coming back

I love the menagerie been a customer since I turned 21

Great place to hang out. Great drinks, good music and amazing bartenders.

Great vibe, love the drag shows, damn good drinks.

The bartender was very nice. And the music was great. Especially in sou d quality would be here again

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!”

Good place to meet people and the drinks are good and reasonably priced!! The popcorn is excellent as well!!

Somewhere you have to check out if you are In Downtown Riverside. Cool little spot with good drinks and good music.

The people who work here are awesome and the crowd is always nice and friendly.

Great place good music i recommend coming here.

Bartenders were super nice and kind, it was my first time going last Saturday and I had so much fun! Ill be going again with my friends this Saturday :) bring more people along too.

The salsa night is great for beginners and experienced folks alike.

I love to unwind from a stressful week at work and get all sweaty with some hot hunks. This place is the best.

Friendly crowd, fun atmosphere.

Great place to hang out no matter your sexual orientation

I wouldnt call this place a gay bar, its more of a gay club. Music is loud, there is a dance floor, and there is an outdoor area for socializing and smoking. This place is more like the club scene and VIP is more like the bar scene.Bad part is, it does sometimes get hot and stuffy inside.

This is an acceptable bar through most of the week. The Monday night karaoke is great, as are the drag shows and live musical performances theyve started having. However, I strongly recommend steering clear of it on Friday and Saturday nights. At these times, it is completely overrun by neighboring bars overflow of random straight people, many of whom are quite rude and pushy. Pushy in a very literal sense.On my last Friday night here, I was talking to a friend by the bar. I got shoved towards the bar by a stream of people, including the bouncer. I tried to brace myself with one hand against the bar, to politely keep myself from tumbling into the other people there. This wasnt good enough, as I still ended up bumping shoulders with some dude who was there with his wife (ugh). He then got all pissy, as if Id just goosed him or something, and shoved me back (double ugh).Straight people at a gay bar--fine. Hundreds of straight people at a gay bar--whatever. Hundreds of straight people, who often get weird & defensive about their heterosexuality--too much.I kinda feel bad complaining about this, as its not really the bars fault. Although it does have plenty of other shortcomings. There is no happy hour, and the drinks are overpriced. Although there is apparently a DJ, it seems there is just one default playlist; you are almost guaranteed to hear that Im Sexy and I Know It song anytime you go. And of course, some of the bouncers are jerks. But the bartenders are generally pleasant and doing their best. The location is great, in lovely and increasingly lively downtown Riverside (though this is both a blessing and a curse). And I cant help but have affection for it--it is after all one of only two gay bars in town. I just wish it were better. And I swear (this time I mean it for real!), I will never ever go there on a Friday or Saturday again. You probably dont want to either.

Best place in Riverside to go to, to have a really great time

The bad service starts from the beginning.... the security guy at front door are a badass.... the guys at the bar are very unfriendly and the place smell bad. I really dont want come here again.

This was my fav bar to go to no cover and ok music but lately my friends and I have been getting into it with alot of dumb straight guys id rather go to 340

Karaoke Mondays

Good music, great DRAG shows an happy hour is on point!!!!!!

Fabulaus place to be yourself!

Slow service.

Went last night with 4 other people and for some reason we all ended up sick today and no we werent hungover I showed up late and didnt drink much to have been hungover but yeah idk if something was put into our drinks or what but we all woke up sick vomiting and upset stomach all day and seems like we all caught a cold as well

This is a great club!!! Always a fun night out with the girls!!! The best part is the DJ on Wednesdays.... Hes the best in downtown Riverside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its the place to be
