Bar Ni Modo - Riverside (CA)

3 /5 Cesar Torres: Been wanting to come by this place, “the farm house”. We were looking to grab a drink before heading out for dinner. This place caught our eye “ni modo”. Directly translated it means “oh well”. Well, we ordered the only bottle of red wine. Not sure the name but the bartender mentioned it was organic, and free of sulfites. A quick sip and my first reaction was “oh well”. We quickly returned it without any hassle from the bartender. We ended up ordering bar drinks. Those turned out to be really good. I also ordered some aguas chilles, bartender explained it wasn’t traditional. He also mentioned that it came with a little habiscus foam. Well when it arrived, you can tell from the picture it was a bowl of foam. Trust me I’m adventurous so I tried it. It was ok. Not my favorite. This classic dish should be acidic and spicy. A big shout out to our waitress. She was engaging and super attentive. I will definitely return for second chance.

1 /5 Daniel Meneses: I ordered the carnitas tacos and a beer special for 15 monies. The beer, an Ube and coconut porter, should not be served here. It absolutely does nothing for anything in the menu here and would serve better at Batter Rebellion with there burgers and fries. I should not they do at least carry lagers and the well liquors are above average. The tacos... The best thing on them is the fresh cilantro and onion. The meat was flavorful but tough. The tortilla was stale and not even warm. The salsa Verde on the side was actually quite good but come on... Were not here for salsa. I suppose if you just want a cocktail this may be your place to go but the food is sub par and there are so many better options at the farm house. No wonder this place only serves food in the evening. Gotta wait for everybody to be buttered up by all the mid day shops that serve good food and drinks XD

5 /5 John: We tried a few beers even though they weren’t draft, the quality was surprisingly great. The bartender knew how to pour it just right. Sofia greeted us at the front with a warm smile and helped us find a place to sit right away. Great customer service all around. Definitely a solid experience.

5 /5 Tony Merino: Seeing this bar go from pop ups to a brick and mortar space has been an immense pleasure. From the delicately crafted cocktails to the painfully delicious food menu, you can feel the effort and love across every inch of this bar. The food alone will hook you, but the drinks will make this a Riverside staple for years to come. Pair all of that with excellent customer service and the best ambiance in the IE, and you get Bar Ni Modo- my current favorite bar in the world and hopefully yours too. (p.s. get the TQM cocktail and order a side of Salsa Negra with any food item and you won’t be disappointed)

5 /5 Hans Tang: Ordered to go, for pork and beef tacos. They were literally bomb.com. They were literally jaw dropping. They gushed. I blushed. Holy moly they were oh so yummy. 5$ per taco but it’s worth it.
