    Our bill.

    Daughter and I had some business in New Westminster yesterday morning. I offered to treat to lunch - we decided a pub lunch would be fun. She recommended the River's Reach Pub - it was handy, our timing was 'right', it was 11:20 am, open, and yea, there was a parking space along the side! I really liked the "look and feel" of the place -- nice spacing of table arrangements, with almost separated areas, and different types of seating (standard tables and chairs, high tables and stools, etc.). We chose a (standard-type) table, at the front side of the restaurant, near the back. I ordered a pint of Rickard's Red draft (they're Tuesday 'special'), and clubhouse sandwich (on toasted white bread, came w/turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato), and fries -- daughter (the driver) opted for water, and a large baked lasagna (came w/mozzarella cheese, and meat sauce, and at her request, some pineapple), and garlic toast. We did good -- friendly, accommodating service, with some rather fine-looking food presentations, and tasty, well-made preparations. She enjoyed her lasagna (leaving a little to go back home for later), and I sure enjoyed my sandwich (leaving nothing to go back to the kitchen, or away with me). This was a first time visit to River's Reach for me, and based on the dining experience, we made a fine decision, and I was most happy with daughter's choice of venue.

    There's a large ladies room with frosted glass doors that go floor to ceiling for both stalls. The decor is modern and there's a spacious counter with 2 sinks and a very large mirror. Everything is automatic and you have the option of paper towels or hand dryer. It's all well stocked. The place is kept extra clean with a floor drain. The only downside is that I had to hang my bag on the door handle in the stall because there no hook. 4 out of 5 flushes.

    We were in town for a bodybuilding competition and wanted somewhere with amazing food to enjoy after a day of competing. This pub had some of the best reviews for their food.... service reviews were a bit lower, and I can see why. Our server was so slow. There was maybe 4 tables in the restaurant, and nothing big. The server was missing for a good 20 minutes, drinks took forever to come out, and someone else delivered our food and was amazing with getting the extras we needed. Needless to say the food was amazing, but the service was defiantly on the low side.... just need to up that and this place would be the go too spot for sure!

    The bathrooms are not consistent with the food & beverages. They look pretty dumpy!

    Excellent food here (at least as far as pub food goes). Like all the other reviewers here, I agree, the pizzas are top notch. I always order the pizzas for takeout. They have great specials and everything on the menu is of very good quality. Quite a selection of beers too, always important! All in all the best pub in New Westminster and I would definitely recommend it.

They were a welcoming bunch of people, with a wider age range than you normally see in a pub (i.e., lots of grannies) and with a blue-collar feeling that has actually become a bit rare in these parts. The beer selection is not for the snobbish (Coors and Canadian aren't even ironic yet, and I confess that upon seeing/hearing my options, I had a moment of "What can I drink?!"), but the awesome selection of diversions include regular meat draws, live bands, karaoke, pool, and my personal new favourite, shuffleboard. A friendly regular showed us how to play, and answered all our stupid questions as we learned, and soon it was like I'd been finessing my slide on the Promenade Deck with Gavin McLeod all my life. The club seems very welcoming of visitors, if you can find the door around the back of the building (go up the path between a couple of wedding dress shops, and make a sharp turn into a scary little parking lot and you're in), and membership is quite shockingly cheap.

    I am a little biased. I live in the hood and this is my local. In here almost every week…read more Food: I have been through most of the menu so I know my favs. There have a been a few misses, but mostly hits. Standard pub options like burgers, pizza, beef dip. They have a huge wing flavour menu, so if you like wings this is your place. I really like the mussels on the appy menu. The tomato broth is so flavourful. Make sure your order a side of garlic bread so you can sop it all up. Fridays they have an amazing prime rib special. We like to go for the special and to play trivia from little h entertainment. More on food: When they advertise a special dinner like their recent craft beer dinner. GO! The chef gets his chance to shine. My usual partner in crime K and I rolled out the pub after an epic 3 course meal paired with a pint of craft beer from parallel 49 for each course. Food again: good Sunday brunch. K loves the Frankie's Benny that has crab cake in it. I am partial to their Caesar special. They recently brought back their build your own Caesar special. Staff: awesome! If Jay isn't behind the bar, he is at the door greeting us. Calvin is the manager and he is always out mingling with the patrons. We have never had an issue with the service that has been noted on other reviews. Maybe we don't notice, because we are too busy mingling with the neighbours come in for a quick dinner. Ambiance: there is a little bit for everyone. They have lots of tvs for sports. Not a fan of UFC but they show all the fights. I tend to avoid those nights. Friday night is Trivia. Prizes include g/c to the pub. Summertime they have a big patio. They are planning to expand it to make it bigger. For someone that lives in the area, this is truly a neighbourhood pub. Always run a neighbour or two. Very welcoming.

    This is a nice little pub. I was only here for lunch and had the fish and chips. It was okay…read more Tasted a lot like the fish n chips I got at Match. Anyway since it was lunch I didn't check out their beer menu. People were nice and the place was clean. I expect to come back her the next time I am in Vancouver. Maybe after a few drinks I can give it a more thorough review. Definitely worth a try if you've never been.
