They don't allow bartenders to cash your Keno so they're missing out on big tips. I don't understand. From a business perspective that's such a bad choice. You want to put cash into the hands of people who are drinking. Bartender was really nice and attentive though
Walked in. Ordered a shot and was wrongly blamed for bad reviews online and told I wasn't welcome there. So, here's my first review: great food. Excellent really. Wings are to die for! Otherwise, it's okay. Would appreciate not being blamed for whatever issues they're having. Seems a little overly obsessive and weird, especially considering I rarely come here. Want some wings? Hit 'em up! I look forward to being blamed for whatever customer service issues they're having in the future! It takes a lot to piss off a pothead, but you guys made an enemy for sure. Please ignore the personal compliments to the Chef that I've had in person as well as copious, authentic niceties and encouraging conversations given to the bartenders and staff over the past year. I just wanted some sweet chili wings and a shot, but you guys are a little weirdly, obsessive and frankly it's offensive. Don't forget to print this review off as well and past it around to the staff as you did previously instead of just asking me and giving me the benefit of the doubt!

Had a TON of food, everything was fantastic! Wings were crispy and saucy, wraps we're loaded and cheap on Wednesday. Bartenders were wonderful, helpful, and kind!

Best gay bar in all of Lakewood! If it wasn't for how rude the bartenders are here (most of them think they're God's gift to men and have zero personalities or customer service skills) I'd give this place a 5.
But like I said, every time I come here there's a bevy of sexual ambiguous men ready to try and experiment with new things. I once whipped a guy with a leather strap in the bathroom.
Best place as a gay man to pick up men in all of Lakewood! Someone needs to put a smile on Michelle's face...what a sourpuss.
Riverwood hasn't changed a bit, great drinker's bar with great food and service! Glad to be back, a Lakewood classic
I was ordering the hard shell beef tacos on door dash and everytime they were outstanding..Last time I went to order it it's gone..they only have the chicken soft shell..I hope they put back on the other ones..Kelly and champ are so cool and great cook's
Dart machine does not work. Put in 8 quarters 4 credits per 4 quarters is what the machine said. I went up to the bar keep she basically said it wasn’t her problem and called security. Refused to either give back the money or give a free beer. Worst customer service I’ve ever seen. Never have I ever left a review til now do not go there bar keeps are super rude and machines there do not work.
Great happy hour and very good food!!

If you're looking for a chill dive bar type establishment this is it! All of the staff have been great, with every bartender being super laid back and easy to talk to. The food has never served me wrong, and their weekday specials are things you can't miss out on. The only time they've ever let me down was when their power was out (at no fault of their own) and weren't open and I was forced to go elsewhere.

Michelle is a super cool Bartender. Incredibly pretty, super friendly and zero attitude. She made me feel very welcome. And when the 4:00 crowd came in she was at the top of her game. I could see she had no stress. Unfortunately I didn't try the wings on special for Thursday night. I will definitely return. I wish they opened for lunchtime though for the construction workers.

They never answer the phone
We placed a takeout order from this bar yesterday and we couldn’t believe how good the food was! The bar itself was on the smaller side but seemed very laid back. The bartender was very nice to us upon going up to the counter to pick up our order. The online ordering process itself also made things easy. Their fries were very crispy. The chicken strips were also crispy and the breading was seasoned well. Our burgers were amazing! They were huge, had plenty of cheese, came with good portions of fries and were cooked to our liking. Their food was also very reasonably priced, especially for the amount we received. We were all absolutely stuffed afterwards. We will definitely come here again when we are back in the area.
