Lake Alice Trading Co.

If I could give a zero star rating I would. I was in the area for work and brought my wife(because I can't stand the thought of being without her) for our weekly honeymoon. We just got married on February 21st. We love karaoke and dancing and thought we would check it out. Spacious place, with shuffleboard, pool and foosball. A nice sized dance floor, second story seating that overlooked the entire bar. At first glance we were ecstatic, plus we were starving. We each sang a song and no one was at the dance floor except for us. We country dance and just finished when we were approached by security, telling us that we need to keep our dancing PG. We explained, that we 1) weren't doing anything even remotely obscene and 2) since when does a 21+ bar care how people were dancing. We were irritated to say the least. We left the dance floor, and closed out our tab, of a drink a piece and asked the bartender why we couldn't country dance. She wouldn't tell us who complained and it didn't matter because we were with the place. I asked to speak to the manager and she came over and told us that the dips we were doing were dangerous. Confused, because we got a different story from the security guard, we explained that we've both been dancing our entire lives and nothing we were doing was remotely dangerous or obscene. The bartenders never smiled, the manager neither, just a horrible experience as far as atmosphere and customer service. A recommendation to the owner, find bartenders that provide outstanding customer service and a manager that knows how to manage and not just sit outside the entire time.

Great food, great service. Parking: If you can find a parking spot on the street, it's free after 5 and on weekends. If not, there are parking garages close by

Lake Alice is an institution in Downtown Riverside. It's largely ok, however, it's just too noisy and crowded to be really enjoyable, at least for my wife and I. They are a full service bar with plenty of beer choices. We were there for a special band event. The real problem is not with the bar but with the location in DT Riverside. The streets are noisy, on street parking is impossible to find, the parking structures are filthy and feel unsafe and the homeless can be seen sleeping on the sidewalks. It's a real unpleasant area. We'll probably not return.

Need to upgrade pool sticks.

I liked the decoration of the place, very cool and illuminated, good service, I give the food a 3. I went a monday probably is better the weekends.
