We weren't disappointed at all it was a very nice patio (but might I say that the name of the place"riverside" gives you the impression that is actually on the water but it's in a very good area.

They have a band set up for the evenings, and lots of room for people to enjoy a cold beer on the summer night.

We arrived and immediately saw the large, well equipped deck and outdoor seating. The tables had umbrellas, and there were outdoor fans. We sat and we're greeted by our server promptly. The menu had all the classic sports bar grub, and a good selection. I chose the blackened grouper sandwich, and my boyfriend had the fish and chips. My sandwich was delicious! A nice bun toasted with blackened grouper, lettuce and tomato (and tartar sauce on the side) and it came with tater tots. My boyfriend said the fish had a nice crunch, and the cole slaw was delicious and sweet. The dog, Saint, loved all of the food, too. Although we don't drink, there was a full bar and drink specials. This restaurant was exactly what we were looking for today, and we are glad we happened up on it!

She's like a yelp ninja that one. She pulls this place up and we plot our course. It's located in the crystal river plaza which looks like an abandoned strip mall . Windows are covered with graphics so you're not 100% sure of what you're walking into but.......open the doors and it's a cool looking Irish pub. This Sunny in Philadelphia type vibes. We sat at the bar and Marissa waited on us. She was a total delight. Lots of fun to chat with. The food was WOW! We had the lobster bisque, ponzu and chili oysters, tuna sushi and a lobster roll. All were stellar, like hands down amazeballs for real. The bread there is LIFE. Soooo good. The bisque was outstanding and the oysters were insane. I wish we lived closer but if we get a place in the water up there we will bug the crap out of Marissa. I don't give out 5 stars often but this place deserves it.

We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door and seated. Our waitress was wonderful. She took our order and checked on us throughout our dinner. We order oysters first and they were as good as we remembered. We had a lobster roll which was yummy and my husband had the burger which he said rivaled his favorite burger place at home. The pub offers both high top tables and regular tables. The walls have Irish themed ads etc. It is located in a strip mall so you need to be looking for it. I definitely recommend this pub and look forward to visiting it again

They didn't have to do that but they did and I'm glad! I will be returning for more wings and fantastic conversation. Thank you so much castaways for making my first time visit there a great visit and eating the cost of my wings because the gift card was from a previous owner donation. Thank you!!!!
