Bernasconi Beach in Riverside is one of those places that just teems with beauty everywhere you look.

Feel like going out tonight but don't feel like dressing up and dealing with too much glitz? Then head to Morgan's Tavern in Riverside. This is one of those places that could be categorized as a “dive bar,” but in the case of Morgan's, that's entirely a good thing! This charmingly unassuming nightlife hangout features karaoke, music videos, an excellent jukebox and a full bar. There's even an inviting patio area to enjoy if you feel like taking in the night air.
