“ 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! ”
“ Do you like the Buffalo Bills? Great! Do you like the Miami Dolphins. Heres a NY Dolphins backer bar who's wife loves the Bills so you get both teams decor with a lil river vibe too. DONT worry there's no indecision about the drinks. They are all good and there is often something going on at the River Pub. I recommend the Shankys Whip! Best day to visit. OFTEN but definitely on St Patrick's Day! ”
“ 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. ”

“ 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! ”
“ Nice local atmosphere, and also very welcoming for tourists from Europe. We had a nice evening! ”
“ Always a great time at the River Pub. Billy and Kelly are phenomenal working owners and the rest of the staff is all top notch. They have an excellent selection of beers and more than enough television screens to watch the game. While there isn't food here, the adjoining restaurant, Dirty Bird, is fantastic. Pro tip: Get a Bird Box. ”
