The Fox Theatre in Riverside exudes a nearly palpable vintage charm. When you consider its history, it's no wonder that this haven for actors and performances of all kinds has a unique history and drama all its own. Initially featuring vaudeville performers, the theater soon began to screen films in the wake of the move away from vaudeville-type performances. Perhaps because of its proximity to Hollywood, this was a favorite entertainment venue for filmmakers to screen their soon-to-be-released movies for lucky audiences. The Fox holds the distinction of being the first place that Gone with the Wind was publicly screened. Various types of shows, concerts, and performances still take place here today.
Worthington's Tavern is a Riverside favorite not only for its impressive ambiance and expert staff, but also because it provides a trendy hangout for locals who can stay in town instead of having to drive to Los Angeles to enjoy some exciting nightlife.

The people are great, the club is comfortable, and there's always a great song playing at Worthington's Tavern, so don't miss out!
