We take our service animal dog most times and she's welcomed too. Let me see? It's small and old but it's kept clean. Outside patio area is available. The long bar is old and has many carvings/etchings in the top to add character. The craft beer selection is huge and keeps up with the trends. 5 or 6 big screens are constantly showing, well, whatever you ask for. There are many regulars and I guess we are now. Great people when you get to know some of them. Bartenders are great. Charlie runs the show most weekends. He's efficient and will talk anything from sports to politics with knowledge. The beautiful ladies Kelsey, Brandie and Ashley serve on other nights. Plus a couple more we don't know yet. We always get a nice welcome. There's a pool table and one of those plastic dart board things. For food, most nights an outside food service sets up facing the street (main st) and the Mexican food is as authentic as it gets. Juke box is controllable from your phone (it can get a bit loud) All in all we like it. I drink beer and I know things.

When we were driving down through downtown I saw the new murals so we stopped by for some selfies. We noticed a lot of people walking to this location and decided to check this bar out. Music was on and drinks were affordable. We hung out for a bit but when a guy started talking to us and staying around we left after our cigarette break The bartender was pregnant and that just made me think about when I was also the pregnant bartender at the bar, fun times. I hope they can bring music like a DJ (instead of the music box customers have to pay for) on Saturday nights bring a little more fun to a weekend evening I would definitely like to come by again

I genuinely LOVE this bar, which makes this review even harder to write. The atmosphere, the…read moreregulars, and the employees have always made it a place worth coming back to. Unfortunately, great employees can only do so much when they're working under poor management. Watching a good employee feel forced to leave because of the atmosphere created by management was beyond disappointing. You can have a great bar, great customers, and an amazing staff, but a bad boss can make the environment so uncomfortable that good employees no longer feel they can stay. Being in charge doesn't automatically make someone a good leader. Good managers communicate, respect their employees, recognize the people who actually contribute to the success of the business, and create a positive workplace. I still love this bar and the people who make it what it is. My problem is with the management and the atmosphere they've created. The staff deserves better, and frankly, so does the bar.

You'll be addicted like us and keep coming back for more.

This review is long overdue. I came here earlier this year for a birthday dinner, and while I…read moreenjoyed the evening, the food just didn't leave much of an impression. The restaurant is connected to (or at least shares a building with) the casino, so parking can be a little tricky. Most of the lot was full when we arrived, and I ended up parking on the street. Inside, it's really cute. They have a great wine display right when you walk in, a cozy dining area, and a small outdoor patio that looked like a nice spot to sit. Service was good. Nothing over the top, but friendly and exactly what you'd expect. The menu sounded fantastic, which made me really excited. We ordered oysters, lobster bisque, filet mignon, scallop pasta, lobster mac and cheese, and I had an Old Fashioned. The oysters and bisque were both okay, the filet and pasta were decent, but honestly nothing really stood out. The biggest disappointment was the lobster mac and cheese. If you love lobster mac like I do and always order it when it's on the menu, I'd skip this one. It wasn't really mac and cheese at all. The sauce didn't taste cheesy, the presentation wasn't appealing, and it ended up being one of my least favorite versions I've had. Overall, it's a nice restaurant with a good atmosphere, but the food just didn't wow me. If someone invited me back for another celebration, I'd happily go. It just wouldn't be my first choice if I were picking the restaurant myself.

Between the bar and dining area, there's plenty of seating, so finding a spot shouldn't be an issue. Side note: I'm not sure if this place was built underneath a spaceship, but once you step inside, you'll have zero cell phone service. Definitely something to keep in mind if you need to make a call or stay connected while you're here. The menu is fairly extensive and features a lot of the typical favorites you'd expect from a tap house. Once I tried their Avocado & Chicken Club Sandwich, I was hooked. The ingredients are consistently fresh and well-prepared, the chicken is always tender, and the French roll is soft and fresh. Pair it with your favorite drink, and you'll leave satisfied. During all of my visits, the waitstaff has been friendly, attentive, and helpful. Overall, this is a good choice if you're in the area and looking for a casual spot with good food, drinks, and plenty of seating.

It sounds great on paper but the execution falls short. For whatever reason they don't cook all the veggies with the pizza, instead, they heap on a bunch of raw veggies after it comes out on the oven so it's kinda like a salad. I'm guessing it's too much moisture to cook down all those veggies, in which case, put less veggies! The toppings should all be cooked! I'm leaving this review not only to inform you but to remind myself when I go back in 6 months! Also the wings were too vinegary. Pork belly bites were delish, service was fast and friendly. Round up from a 3.5 because they're better than the 3 stars they're currently at, all things considered.

Bean dip: 5/5 -- I could come here just for this! Warm refried beans with crema, queso fresco, and salsa verde. Chips & Salsa: 5/5 -- Some of the chips are nice and puffy, which is a fun and different texture as you go through the basket. I always ask for extra salsa to eat with my meal! Service: Our servers have always been friendly and attentive! Ambiance: They play a mix of different Latin music, and they don't blast it through the speakers.

This venue holds such a special place in our hearts because my husband and I were also married at The River Mill over 30 years ago, making it even more meaningful to return all these years later to celebrate our son. From start to finish, everything was wonderful. The chef created a customized menu for us, and every dish was absolutely delicious. The staff made everything feel seamless, and the entire evening was beautiful. One of our favorite moments was watching the sunset from the deck. It was absolutely breathtaking and made the evening feel even more magical. The River Mill will always be a special part of our family's story, and we couldn't be more grateful that we were able to celebrate another generation there. We highly recommend The River Mill to anyone looking for a beautiful, memorable wedding venue!
