River City Tavern

Reviews & Tips

  This is the southernmost bar on the Swift Avenue Dive Bar Row.   It occupies a nondescript little shoebox of a building.
  
  On my first visit I was greeted by a scrappy little mop dog on the floor and a gruff bartender who seemed to think it was very strange that I kept tipping him for my drinks.  By the way it's all bottles and cans here -- no taps.
  
  I didn't really care for this place.   It was ok, but I've been to a lot of better dives.   However it must be doing SOMETHING right, because it's consistently open on weekday nights even though the superior  (in my opinion) Pat's Pub just a few doors north rarely seems to make it open past 9pm during the week.   River City Tavern is not open on weekends though, or at least not consistently.
