Long time customer here. My friend and I come by the other night to find out we can’t have simple small bags?? We were turned away because we had no place to put them. I’m genuinely confused why security can’t just do their job and check the bags. Zero stars from me due to this new absurd policy.

Bouncer with long hair and beard was wasted out of his mind, targeting women in the establishment. How can you be a bouncer and also drunk?? What a creep.

My friend arrived less than 10 minutes before me, and she paid the cover for me to get in. When I showed my ID and said my friend paid my cover, I was told that’s not how it works. I asked for my ID back and was told I wouldn’t get it back unless I paid $5 or left. When my friend came out to explain the situation, the bouncer put both of his hands on her and tried to push her out of ther bar even after she told him she had stuff inside and would call the police. This bouncer who was collecting money took his position to his head. He was unbelievable rude and aggressive toward us even though we had paid the cover and were both over 21 and made no threats towards him. After standing outside in the cold, management finally let me in, but this was unacceptable and a violation of my rights to without my ID only because I said I would not immediately leave. He is a shame to this establishment and this needs to be addressed. A bouncer who unprovoked puts his hands on a patron, should not still have a job. Please do better.

I was at this bar on st pattys and the bouncers were horrible. A 350lbs man was getting in my 21 y/o female friends face and calling her names because he was blacked out. The bouncers did NOTHING to make us feel safe. They kicked us out and laughed at us WITH the fat guy. NOT A SAFE PLACE FOR WOMEN!!!

The lemon drop tasted like watered down lemon lime. Location is fine but when you walk in the floors were crazy sticky and the 12 year old kid watching the door was playing on his phone he probably could have been cleaning up some of the spilled drinks on the floor. They were not busy and everyone who worked there was just standing around. The bathrooms were filthy and it was only 5pm I can’t imagine what they looked like by the end of the night.

I went here for a fundraiser for the Spartan Housing Cooperative last night, but the Riv is really more for college age kids that are 18-22 years old and I’m too old for that environment.

Food isn’t anything special but it’s great for the price. Probably just frozen and heated up but it’s great when you have been out drinking!

Waited in line for 2 hours and barely anyone was there. Had to wait +30 mins for food and over 20 mins for drinks. Packed with underage kids. Not worth the cover.

Kicked my friend out for no reason besides a debate over who was next in pong. Can’t believe they stooped so low over a pong game.
