Killer Queens Social House — Restaurant in Riverside

We heard about Killer Queen’s Monday Vinyl Night from a friend and my daughter suggested we go check it out. We stopped in and were greeted by the lady at the front door. She said it would be about 30 minute for a table but we could hang out at the bar till one became available. We went to the bar but before we could order (about 5 minutes) the server said they could seat us. So we went up to the loft seating where they have another bar, games and a pool table. We sat on a nice leather sofa and had a great view of the DJ and dance floor. We ordered several cocktails from their drink menu and they were all delicious, I didn't specify any alcohol brand preferences, but I could tell that it wasn't the regular well alcohol. We also ordered several of their appetizers, the oysters, the flatbread, the hummus and the Gochujang Bao Buns. The food and drinks were outstanding, but I gotta say my favorites were the Trinidad Sour and the Gochujang Bao Buns. I can’t believe there’s NO actual meat in the Gochujang Bao Buns, those things are delicious and have great texture. I’ll post a picture of them. We dealt with several different staff members when we were there and all were friendly and helpful. The bar tender even brought us one of the rounds of drinks and when I asked him why he brought them he said because the server was super busy and he was jumping in to help, this tells me there’s some real teamwork going on here. Later when we we’re playing pool we ran into the DJ and he said next time we should bring our favorite vinyl and he’ll play them and handle them with kit-gloves. All the drink and food prices seemed to be a little low compared to the delivered product and I sure hope it stays this way. I highly recommend this Riverside place if you’re looking for a chill Monday night. Thanks...

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...

My wife & I walked in here last week assuming it’s a cigar lounge. To our surprise, the manager pleasantly and gently told us it’s now a dance club but he would gladly set us up outside on the patio. We did have drinks and smoked our cigars. It turned out to be much enjoyable than a traditional cigar lounge. We enjoyed the place so much that we came back at night to dance. Well, Mike the manager let us have the same patio to enjoy while taking a break from dancing. I must say this club offers very safe environment, so well organized, has superb customer service, staff is well trained. Last but not least, the cheese cake? Out of this world. Good job Mike, you’re not only an excellent manager but also...
