Killer Queens Social House

First time there, walked by and the music drew us in. The security team there was incredible and really welcoming. Marco is the man. Fantastic atmosphere, larger than life bands, hot clientele, great drinks. We didn’t have any food.

Writing this from the Lyft taking me home lol everyone from the hostess, bus boy, and the waitress who served us on the upper level were 10/10. First bar/club I’ve been to where they care about their customer service! I wish I got the waitress’ name. She has a red dragon tattoo! Will be back for sure! Dj was playing great music also!

They straight up stole from me by saying I never paid my check, but I never left the bar until paying. They just took advantage because I paid cash. Be careful, Ameliano was the bartender who stole from me, thus making me have to pay double. Truly disappointed because it is a cool spot.

It's a nice place but look over the bill carefully and look out for shady additions or modifications. We've been twice and we genuinely like the atmosphere and food and drinks but left feeling like they went out of their way to rip us off both times. The first time we went they had $7 cocktails for happy hour. The first drink was $7. The second drink they specifically asked my wife away from me what whiskey we wanted and she said Woodford because she felt like she had to choose something the waitress listed off. The drinks came out to be double happy hour price. There was absolutely no indication that the old fashioned would cost more after telling her to choose a specific whiskey instead of just making it with their well. Then the second time we went the waitress brought us our bill with a hidden 20% gratuity without our knowledge (two person party). After asking about the math not adding up she then tried to explain the extra charge due to "taxes". And after we specifically asked her for an itemized receipt then she finally mentions the automatic 20% after I already gave my tip. The menu says automatic 20% for parties of 6+. It was like a five minute back and forth of all of this until the hidden fee finally came to light. It was akward and clear she was hiding it from us for as long as she could and got caught at the end. It all felt very off and schemy. Gave us bad vibes both times we went. Probably won't be back.

One of the best spots in Downtown Riverside, always good vibes, variety of events throughout the week checkout their IG to see whats happening. Salsa nights on Thursdays with dance classes earlier in the evening. If you get their early the food is pretty amazing rhe lobster flatbread is a must try, can't go wrong ordering anything though. I highly recommend Killer Queens.
