Great time I loved the bartender reaction when i told him to make me an non alcoholic drink but make it look like it had alcohol in it. Man he aced it was great made my night beside the fact Curren$y was there.

This is one of my favorite venues. First, the name. I listen to mostly metal and hardcore live and that's what I get at Riot. As long as this place keeps their bathrooms nice, they'll be around as long as the Bottleneck. People complain about the stage size, but if you like the bands you're seeing it's the most intimate experience possible and that's a plus for me.

If you ever see a band you love coming here, go! It's a great tiny little bar. Lots of beers. Had to hold the stall shut and the mixed drinks are kind of expensive. Well worth it.

Typical crappy lovable music venue. It's dirty and small, but I love it. They have some great bands, and are always surprising. The staff is pretty rude, but I can't blame them-they have to deal with a lot of pretty horrible people.
This is the kind of venue that you want your band to play their first show at.response / report this review -

Fun little place to see bands close up. Stage is about 15" high and max occupancy is around 240 so it's fairly intimate. There are almost 50 beers on tap and the staff is great. Would give it 5 stars if the stalls in the ladies bathroom would actually shut.

Small bar and music venue in what seems to be a pretty cool neighborhood. About half the venue is a bar space with a circular bar in the center, and the other half is standing room for watching live music. This area is elevated a step above the bar space, which would probably make it difficult for most people to see the stage if the main audience area is full. There were decent beers on tap and the service was Ok. The music sounded great, and the small stage and close quarters give performances an intimate feel. I'd definitely go to another show here if the opportunity arises.

Good bands, great bartenders serving good drinks at fair prices, fun intimate atmosphere. Sound quality is 50/50, sometimes great, sometimes not.
I like that there are places to sit as I have back problems, but it is small and can be very cramped and uncomfortable when full, hard to get to the bar or vendors and drinks often knocked out of hands and all over just by trying to walk by due to the limited space. You can't turn around without bumping someone. Bathrooms rarely are in working condition, even for a bar scene.
Staff is very nice and do the best they can with what they have to work with.response / report this review -

Nice grungy place in Westport. Not very big but smaller places have a good feel to them.

Great beer selection. Great for very small bands, but horrible if your going to see a more popular one. The area out back has you sandwiched between the stage and a wall from an adjacent building. Its a sonic nightmare. The inside is better for small acts, but if its a sold out show its a tightly packed mess. If your like me and like to stay at the back sipping beer with room to breath then forget about "seeing" the artist that's playing.
