I’ll say it. I love the river. with my whole chest lol. the drinks are strong. it’s always full of hot people (are they hot or are you drunk and it’s dark?). there are no windows. from inside the river you can’t see the outside world and they can’t see you. the river is a world unto itself. a world that i look forward to exploring each time I visit. take me back! also they serve a terrific hot dog!

I love bars where you can go and just chill and you can hear yourself talk without talking over music so this is one of those. My drink tasted interesting - it reminded me of India I'm not sure if it's the chili. The drink had a spicy aftertaste to it and had a carrot juice base. I also tried the cherry Garcia cocktail which was on the board . I forgot to get a picture of it but it was really sweet, fruity, and yummy.

The Violeta was an interesting drink. It was sour but with a hint is sweet. This place is pretty cool, I never thought I'd find a place where there would be no music blasting. It has a speak easy vibe to it and to be frank it wasn't as packed. I would recommend this bar if you're planning to take someone out on a date. It's quiet and has a speak easy vibe.
