La Mesa is so fortunate to be the home of the unique and classic Riviera Supper Club. Step through its doors and one is transported to a 1960s era lounge. This place pulls off retro kitsch in an effortlessly cool way. Something especially unique about Riviera is the enormous grill in center of the room where patrons cook their own fat steak or swordfish while sipping on stiff, delicious cocktails. Owned and operated by the same gentleman who created Golden Hill's Turf Club (Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's favorite spot in San Diego back in the 50s), this place is an experience in itself.
