My family and I love Denizen’s @ Riverdale! We go there regularly and I recently hosted a plant swap event at their place. The customer service is always fantastic and their beer is the best in town. They are always so friendly and accommodating. I strongly recommend Denizens for a casual night out or if you’re looking for a hip, laid back venue for an event. Their corn dogs and The Chapless Horseman is my favorite food/drink combo (if you like a strong, heavy beer, that’s the one to order). Their Drag Show Bingo nights are a blast, too. Shout out to John, Pablo, & Jenny for an excellent dining experience!

We celebrated a birthday at Denizens @ Riverdale Park Station. The interaction with the staff before during, and after the event was extremely helpful; everyone was very kind. They made it really for us to reserve the place, accommodate it to our needs, and even stay a little longer than the closing time. Of course, the beer is outstanding!Kid-friendliness: Being a bar and restaurant that accommodates everyone, it was the perfect place to include adults and kids and enjoy with family and friends.

I tried the Dunkel and the Rauchbier--both were excellent. Owner/brewmaster is very nice and made everyone in my group feel welcome.

The beer is excellent. Great year-round and seasonal options. Classics and unique brews (like a smoked marzen). Catalyst Hot Dogs operates out of the brewery s kitchen and they are legit the best hot dogs I've ever had. They have some good non-hit dog options too, but not a huge typical pub menu (I'm ok with that). Super great service and super clean overall. Only other minor knock is that the TV's are kinda hard to see from many of the seats, so it's not the best as a sports bar (which they don't claim to be). Overall, really great brewery and hot dog joint.Parking: Free public parking garage around the corner, street parking right in front, and shopping center parking all around. Lots of options.Kid-friendliness: I see families with kids every time I go. Adult oriented, but kid friendly. Good kid options for food too.Wheelchair accessibility: Completely flat and wheelchair accessible. Also wheelchair friendly ramps on streets and sidewalks.
I miss you guys . Why you leave our area .Will visit you soon in your new location .I love the taste of 3rd party .

Great local brewery! We enjoyed trivia a lot, and have sat outside with the dogs on multiple occasions. Yummy hot dogs and great beer. Consistently excellent servers. Easy free parking. You can buy beer to take home too. Highly recommend!
The food and service was good until I got the check. The automatic 20% tip was an unpleasant surprise. I didn't want to cause a fuss over a few cents but I found it distasteful and made me regret eating there.

Family friendly, great servers, good ambiance, nice environment. Plenty of parking. We were really happy with how kind the servers were to and with our kids.

A return visit; again parking woes- we used the garage this visit, but arriving wasn't any less chaotic- again not the breweries fault, just people misunderstanding stop signs & one ways, but at least glad it's free parking We used pub passes, so can't comment on the standard beer prices-but they make sure to remind you there is automatic gratuity added-Despite a large party in attendance our waiter this visit was much friendlier, more attentive, ensured we were taken care of- allowed sample tasters to try before we buy- though I was dismayed to learn the pub pass only covered year rounds- I really wanted to try to series IPA-always good beer & much improved visit

Denizens hosted a work event and they were wonderful to work with! Emily was very responsive and took extra care to make sure the planning was seamless and easy. The food options for a happy hour style gathering were perfect and delicious. The servers were attentive and made sure our group was happy the whole time. Looking forward to planning future events at Denizens!
