👍👍 We were on vacation in Niagara and the hotel denied us the valet for a few hours due to the fireworks they were hosting, so my wife and I went looking for a local bar to have a few drinks and hide out for an hour or so. We stumbled across this place and instantly felt welcome and right at home. Mad... People often mention good, nice, people, great, time, local, atmosphere, Great,

    We were on vacation in Niagara and the hotel denied us the valet for a few hours due to the fireworks they were hosting, so my wife and I went looking for a local bar to have a few drinks and hide out for an hour or so. We stumbled across this place and instantly felt welcome and right at home. Made friends with the whole bar, pretty much, and about FIVE HOURS later, decided to head back to the Casino. The bartender was super nice, and the people in general were so kind! It was a very inviting atmosphere, and it weirdly became one of the most memorable parts of our anniversary trip! Darts was fun, the jukebox was awesome. Tons of beer selection (although nothing on tap was odd) and fair prices for the mixed drinks! Kudos to the thin John Cena look-alike who bought us a few shots for our anniversary! Stop by and have a drink! It was a great experience!

    Andy is the best bartender and very entertaining. Don't miss him over the bar though. He's pretty short.

    Good food, nice atmosphere. Super crowded though. Standing room only, they need more seats or more space.

    There on a Friday karaoke night. Full bar but didn't feel over crowded. Most were younger but definitely had people of all ages there (we ranged from 21-62) and all seemed comfortable (although I felt it was more comfortable for 21-45 range). Prices were good but wished there was more than 1 bartender on duty. People were patient though and she was good and quick.

    Nice little local bar that’s easy to miss if you’re not paying attention. i’m not much of a bar person and I would probably call this a sports bar because there are several big screens with sporting events being broadcast. The bartender was very nice while we sipped our drinks and waited for and then ate our food from Dirty Bird next door.

    Went there on a Thursday night to hear Jamie Holka play some good old bar songs. The crowd was into the music too and no cover charge so a trip to the tip jar was my way to show appreciation. Will return.

    Great place to grab a drink. Kelly was great and kept the Labatt flowing. Will stop back in if we ever go back to see the falls again.

    Kelly and Billy never cease to amaze what amazing humans they are. Great local pub. Prices are affordable. Atmosphere allows you to sit back and relax. Patio is a great option on a nice day. This is my go to spot when I'm visiting Niagara Falls.

    I’ve been coming to the river pub since i turned 21 and it’s one of my favorites! Super comfy atmosphere and all of the bartenders and the owners are amazing! 11/10 would recommend stopping in and grabbing some Dirty Bird while you’re visiting!

  • 5/5 Tiffany B. 2 years ago on Google
    We came up from Oswego for vacation and looking for a nice hometown feel bar to have a drink and found this place. Amazing!!!! Real hometown feel bar everyone knows everyone and treats you like you're part of their bar family!! I felt like I was at home at my hometown bar! Amazing people and such a welcoming environment... You will not regret stopping here.

    Me and my hubby visited from out of town and we had the best time. The manager Billy was very accommodating and hospitable and I would definitely recommend this place to those who have never been and that want a good cheap drink and good company to go with it.

  • 5/5 Rachelle L. 2 years ago on Google
    On vacation and happen to come across this place, friendly group, great service, nice outdoor space. On our second time to this bar we were able to meet the owners, very nice people. Fun little place, excellent prices and great little food joint that adjoins to the bar, we had a great time!

  • 5/5 Nathan P. 2 years ago on Google
    What a warm welcoming bar! Started slow and friendly, becoming quite the local hangout as the hours flew by. Met the wonderful owners and ate the best chicken taco I've ever had - Thanks Art! Recommend for anyone looking for friendly people and cold beer. Plus they have darts!

🫤 For a place with the "original" chicken wing, I admit I was a bit discouraged. Surprised at how we were treated as a customer. We were the waitresses last party of the day, she made that known right away. We all ordered. It took 20 minutes to get drinks to the table. We actually had our appetizer be...
