Clean and sleek bar with a relaxed, well kempt vibe and a great staff. We didn't try any of the food, but the drinks were great and the atmosphere was very chill. If you're in the mood for a nice cocktail or a chance to catch up with friends in a cool environment, check this place out.

Never gotten food here but I heard it's great! The drinks are what keep bringing me back - they are always well made which is nice because Riverside lacks quality craft cocktails! Only issue I have is that I can never seem to order a beer on draft here. I usually come in on Wednesdays or Tuesdays around 10 pm and every item I ask what's on draft I am told they only will sell bottled beer. Maybe the clean the lines on those days or last call for draft was at 9 pm when they close at midnight but it'd be nice to try what's on draft someday.

Such a great and relaxing atmosphere. Bartenders were amazing and happy hour until 8pm. No complaints. Positive energy and fun vibes

Stopped by for a quick drink. Odd vibe. Very clean inside and new. Has a franchise feel to it. Not very intimate. Service was the friendliest. Had an overpriced cocktail. Really not worth the walk from downtown. Be aware of your surroundings. Not the best area.

I used to love this bar and it had been a while since I had gone. I recently went on a Thursday and the bartender had an attitude. The moment we sat at the bar music was loud and she said something but we didn't hear. She rudely then asked for our IDs almost as if we were inconveniencing her by repeating herself. The bar was pretty empty. She was not friendly or warm like the bartenders that I had previously had here. The drinks were okay nothing special. Mediocre service and drinks served here with a side of attitude.

Sacrificing atmosphere for not being attended. In an empty restaurant on a Thursday made no sense . Came to mine and left . Will not be returning anytime soon. Plenty of employees but no servís.

We were waitressed by Sheilahn tonight and she was absolutely amazing!! We will definitely make this our regular spot just from the service and drinks we received tonight. Also the music selection is chefs kiss!! Soo good!

I’ve been coming here for like 10 years. And what made this place so amazing was always the mixologists and their abilities. They’ve all left but sadly they don’t even give the new staff tools to be good mixologists. They can’t even smoke an old fashioned, meanwhile 5-6 years ago there was stuff that could make 200 types of old fashioned’s! Food is great but presentation sucks. Still a good spot though. Seems like owners have checked out.

The drinks are always a little different, the names are great. They change the marquee to different quotes all the time which is cool. It is a nice spot for a first date. Not too loud and the dessert is always amazing. They change it seasonally just like their drinks.
Went out in search of an old fashion. Great reviews lead us here to give it a try. The location is away from the downtown bars. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming. We took a seat at the bar and tried an old fashion. Best we've had in Riverside. We had some delicious beers. We will be back for the food and maybe one of the signature drinks.

4.5 stars. I have not yet found a cocktail bar in Riverside with better vibes than W Wolfskill. It features lots of warm wood, cozy booths, and a dimly lit interior--this place basically has the atmosphere of a sexy speakeasy. The back of the bar features a retro "office" that reminds me of Don Draper and Megan's apartment, as well as a makeout (photo) booth. Happy hour goes until 8pm on weekdays which is hard to find for bars with this level of sophistication. The specials vary per day but often feature tried and true classics like an old fashioned and Moscow mule. My favorite is the Mexican firing squad but is a tad on the sweeter side. Personally I think the food is just ok, but they do offer a few more interesting selections than most cocktail bars. The mushrooms are heavy on the garlic (beware if you're on a date). I'd recommend to skip the Kennebec fries, they were soggy and served with house made ketchup which was far too vinegary for my taste. The exterior is quite unassuming because the signage is just a big orange "W". Street parking is typically easy to find right in front (unlike in downtown just a few blocks away) and free after 7pm on weekdays.

Always an enjoyable experience here, especially if you want well made cocktails. The bartenders / mixologists know what they're doing.

I love the drinks the place has a nice atmosphere the waiters/bartenders are very nice and check up on you regularly. The only negatives I would say is that it gets too warm inside sometimes and it’s hard to get a seat for your group. But that’s because the place is popular so it’s understandable.

The best tasting drinks in downtown. I wish they could share drinking menus with Salted Pig and you could order all the drinks at both places.Parking: There's a lot of free parking aroundWheelchair accessibility: You could enter but depending on the date and time it might be uncomfortable to maneuver inside
