Tossed our menus on the table. Extremely sharp and short. Was given a "Brunch" menu and when I asked about "Daily" menu (on their website) when she brought our drinks, was told "Nope, brunch only." and walked away. Overheard someone mutter from behind the bar "you don't have to be a b*tc*" as I was walking out. Just a very unpleasant experience, doubt I'm coming back.

As always, the parking here was easy, even though it has street parking. We arrived on a Thursday…read morenight, around 8 o'clock, and it was already starting to pick up. The bar was getting full, but there were still a few tables left to choose from. This is a dive, similar to Poe's Pub, so if that's not your scene, don't come here. That said, we really like the character of this place, even if it smells a little funky upstairs. It adds to the character and charm, or at least, that's what we tell ourselves. The same bartender as usual (still don't know his name) helped us. They do have a sour beer. It's not as fruity as I like, though, still passable. (Seriously, Patrick Henry's, y'all need to order some from Texas and Oklahoma sours for the real deal; Martin House Brewing Co. in Ft Worth does them so right). Anyway, we ordered the goat cheese bread appetizer (warm apple butter, goat cheese, and sunflower seeds = immense pleasure). For entrees, I grabbed the Hot Chicken Pizza (hot sauce and pickles!), and my partner went for the chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. There was so much food that we had leftovers, as usual. They heated up well in the air fryer and were nearly as good. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE. I will admit, it does look slightly seedy, but the food here is magnificent. The pizza was thin, crispy, and full of delicious flavor. I swear, the chefs here know what they are doing with their menu. It's simple, yet elegant. The appetizers are simple, yet they easily compete with The Brooklyn and Pinky's apps, for example, which are more affordable and in a more relaxed environment. Do yourself a favor and get the goat cheese. It sings. The customers here are chill and interesting, and the bartender is calm and cool; he never seems out of sorts, even when the bar is full with a line out the door. I wholeheartedly recommend Patrick Henry's. We have been here twice now, and the service and food have been excellent both times (Sept 2025, May 2026).

My healthy husband ordered a black and blue salad with steak. He said it was the best salad he's ever had. That the combination of ingredients was amazing. I ordered a Sailor sandwich which is like a Ruben sandwich with knockwurst sausage and fries. It was a big portion, so I took half to go. The waiter was awesome, he was quick and the food was great, but the noise level was something that could irritate some. We decided we would try it again on a quieter afternoon and see if the noise is better.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Riverside Tavern on Forest Hill Avenue…read more I ordered the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus to go for $23.00. When I opened the container, I was shocked to find that the salmon portion was barely larger than my finger. It looked more like a sample than an entrée. I have attached photos because words alone don't adequately capture how small it was. What makes this even more frustrating is that I have ordered this exact meal before while dining in with my family, and the salmon portion I received then was easily three times larger. So this isn't a case of unrealistic expectations--I know what this dish normally looks like. I called the restaurant to express my concern, hoping they would make it right. Instead, the bartender responded with, "The portions are cut how they are cut," as if that somehow justified charging full price for such a tiny piece of fish. When I asked to speak with the owner, I was told, "You won't be talking to the owner. I'll just give him your information." There was no apology, no offer to replace the meal, no effort to address my concern--just complete indifference. If portions have been reduced, customers should be informed before paying premium prices. If this was simply an inconsistent serving, then quality control is seriously lacking. Either way, charging $23 for what amounts to a nugget of salmon is unacceptable. I used to enjoy Riverside Tavern and specifically ordered this meal because I had a good experience previously. Unfortunately, this visit--and especially the way my complaint was handled--has left me questioning whether I'll be back.

The Pasta was absolutely mouthwatering, and the portion size was not only filling but gave me enough for another meal. While I sat and ate by myself I wasn't alone for long. The place was filled with many friendly regulars and workers. I enjoyed the conversation and even stayed for a few drinks. In the back there is a game room that has basketball, pool, darts, and corn hole. Throughout the inside there are many tv scattered around. In one area you will find a collection of tv and about 6 couches. One thing I also thinks deserves mentioning is that they have two women's bathrooms. I have never had to wait which I feel is a common problem in bars for women.

Out of town visitor review:…read more Awesome cheesecake. Not a very good "Irish" bar though. Comes across as a room dressed up like an Irish Pub, but doesn't hide the facade of it. Two bartenders. Woman was helpful enough. The guy was a total dick. Refused to even look to see if we needed anything. He was busy doing whatever, as long as it wasn't related to the customer sitting in front of him. She was just "annoyed" that they were busy in a Sat evening, and didn't want to have time to serve. When I say "busy", I mean there were 6 empty seats next to us at the bar before the next person, so I'm not sure they were actually busy ENOUGH to already treat customers like shit, but, hey..... whatever. The cheesecake was 10/10. Come to find out, they don't make it. The buy it from a bakery. Checks out. The only good thing about this place is the thing they get from somewhere else.
