All fun flows to The River Bar and Grill, a rejuvenated sports bar, restaurant and honky-tonk on the shores of the Dolores River.<\/p>\n
General manager Debbie Valerio is on a mission to create the best entertainment and dining venue for locals and visitors.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re bringing back to town that welcoming, old-time country-bar feeling,\u201d Valerio says.<\/p>\n
She plans regular live music with no cover charge, karaoke nights and pool tournaments. Catch the game on TV or visit the outdoor \u201cRiver Stadium\u201d for some horseshoes.<\/p>\n
The menu is classic pub fare, specializing in pizza, burgers, sandwiches, salads, fish and chips, wings, sliders and Irish nachos made with sidewinder potatoes. There is a kids menu too.<\/p>\n
There are quiet dining areas for families and lunch dates, and a large bar with a dance floor and stage for bands and the evening crowd.<\/p>\n
The relaxing alfresco dining experience on the back deck while watching the river flow is unmatched anywhere in the county. Rafters and kayakers love landing at the venue\u2019s beach for a refreshment or two.<\/p>\n
Valerio says The River is positioned to fill the void left after the popular Hollywood Bar tragically burned down in 2012. They even nabbed the same phone number.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust like the old days, we have the best drink prices,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019ve also added pizza by the slice.\u201d<\/p>\n
The River would like to involve the community by inviting plein air artists, a massage therapist, and craft makers to set up on the deck on a rotating basis.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are always open to suggestions,\u201d Valerio said.<\/p>\n
The River has a seating capacity of 326 and can accommodate private parties, weddings, conferences, and family reunions.<\/p>\n
The River is at 1319 Railroad Ave. and is open seven days a week. The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and the bar is open from 10:30 a.m. to closing.<\/p>\n
\u201cA special thanks goes out to owner Pat Redburn for this opportunity,\u201d Valerio said. \u201cWe are so excited to embark on this adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
