Great fish sandwiches and a decent beer selection. Environment is very casual and can be loud at times with the band. Some people will be throwing it down in the corner by the band, so if you want to get your dance and drink on, you could do so at this place. There is some outdoor seating, too - but the seating is right up against the window next to which we were seating so seeing your neighbor within two feet is a bit jarring. The ambience was a bit too raucous and loud for me, though. The food and beer are also overpriced.
Review Source:I love Riverside..have a place in Vero and never miss a sunset here when I'm down visiting. Just recently revisted with a friend. Great entertainment on the back deck..band is jamming old school favorites in the evenings and the view and crowd makes a great combo. My favorite thing on the menu: their grouper medallions are insatiable. I dream about them in my sleep. Had their fresh fish of the day sandwich most recently that was grilled to perfection and my friend had the ribs which were muy delicioso as well. I always would recommend this to Vero visitors - great spot!
Review Source:If I had heard one more person say "Oh did you try the Riverside yet" I would have became homicidal. Â So for the safety of all my friends and the rest of Vero I decided I should go for a look see before my view was out a window with bars..(not the bars with beer taps either). Â When I first pulled up I saw the bait shop out front and thought to myself "oh brother" but driven by hunger or thirst (yeah it was thirst I'm sure) Gina and I went in. Actually we entered from the park side which puts you onto the deck overlooking the water. Â Even though it is very close to the bridge it is a very nice view which included lots of pelicans. Â We sat down at a table on the deck. Â We were greeted by one of the friendliest servers I have ever met. Â She explained the specials to us. Â I decided on the Blackened Grouper and Gina the steak sandwich. Â I also had the best damn bloody Mary I have had in a long, long time. Â Our meals came and to our delight were delicious. Â The grouper was moist, and spicy. Â Gina's steak sandwich was very tender. Â OK so I apologize for not trying this quaint "little" place before. Â That is what I though until I walked inside to purchase a tee shirt as I collect them. Â The place is not so small. Â I was shocked in fact as there were several large rooms. Â This looks like a place to catch the game. Â I wish I didn't have to catch a flight or I would have stayed!!!! Â Maybe Superbowl. Â I can only imagine what that is going to be like....great food, cold drinks and everyone with different opinions on why their team is'nt playing......like me. Â Ha hope to see you there.
Review Source:Great for happy hour drinks. Â Usually crowded from 5-7pm again again late at night on weekends.
The view is great. Â Nice looking bar overlooking the intercostal.
The food is usually pretty tasty. Â I like the scallops, the conch fritter and onion string appetizers. Â The fish has always been well prepared.
It is a tad pricey. Â So I only eat dinner here once a month, but I do come for the drinks at least once a week.
Cool view of the river (inter-coastal). A local feel with that tiki hut thing. Lots of tv's and sitting. The food goes from chicken fingers, $2.50 drafts to fresh grouper. I would recommend but there are better views of the ocean. If you only had one night in Vero head 2 miles down the road and eat on the ocean. Having said that I did like the place. Say hi to Courtney at the bar!
Review Source:On the intracoastal waterway right at the foot of the Barber Bridge (almost underneath it), this is one of the few restaurants in Vero that actually takes advantage of the beautiful scenery here in town. There's even a bit of outdoor seating. If you have a boat or jetski, you can pull right up to the dock for dinner.
That's pretty much where the positives end. Â Were it not for the idyllic location, I'd give this place a 1 star. Â The food is terrible and overpriced, and the beer selection is unexciting. Â It's loud and the TVs are positioned so high up that it's not pleasant to watch a game there, even though this seems on the surface like it would be a fun place to watch a game. Â
I'm sure this place is great if you are part of the crowd that spends a lot of time there. Â With better food, prices and waitstaff, I would be here all the time. Sadly, at this point, it's very mediocre and I only go when I get desperate for the waterside dining experience.
This place is, for some reason, the popular stop for all college kids during holidays to get trashed and hang out awkwardly. Some people are into that, but I prefer to have an enjoyable time.
The bartender at the bar closer to the door (not in the room with the terribad DJ) was horrendous. He would forget orders, ignore people altogether, and was behaving incredibly unprofessionally. He was trashed by the end of the night.
The beers weren't too expensive by any means, but the price did not justify the horrid service and environment.
There are too many BETTER places on the island to get a drink and hang out - avoid this place unless you need bad drinks, bad music, or want to run into every person from your high school days.
I had lunch here yesterday after trying to find a non-chain restaurant to take my out-of-town friends to in Vero. This place is right on the River so you've got an amazing view. There's a text messaging club advertised on the wall that will get you 10% off of your first order, and if you become a fan of them on facebook, you can get 20% off of your next order. I expected the food to be pricey based off of the location, and after looking at the menu I found this to be true....but, the portions are extremely generous and everyone at my table thought their food was fantastic. My friend in fact commented that her burger was the best burger she's ever had (and she's not one for just giving away compliments). I thought my New England clam chowder was out of this world and my half-sized turkey sandwich was huuuuuge and delicious! Another friend of mine ordered dirty oysters for just $9 and they came with caviar, sour cream, chives, and plenty of oysters to fill him up. Not bad at all!
The bar also had an advertisement for on football game days $10 for 5 bottles of Bud, and 8 wings. I'll definitely be coming for that :)
One of the more lively bar scenes in Vero. Good for sports fans and those who like run of the mill, live music. Nothing special but a decent place to grab average-good creative bar food. I was surprised by the coconut flavor infused bread that was brought to the table. Â Views of the river...
Review Source:This is the place to go if you want to PAY OUT THE NOSE for a drink, get HIT ON by some drunks or obnoxious guys who think they are cream-of-the-crop or you are desperate to find a place to hang out on the Indian River to enjoy the view. Â
Reason number three is the only one I have used to justify going there (usually because a friend suggests it and I just go along). Â Even the food there is over-priced for the mediocre quality you get. Â Sorry....
My suggestion.....buy a bottle of wine and go sit on a blanket on the beach at sunset and you'll have a better time.
FREE entry, and a great place to hang out.
I'm not normally a sportsbar kinda chick, but this place is a pretty cool spot to go just to chill out with your friends and listen to some good music. I didn't have any of the drinks here, because this wasn't our last stop on our night out and my tolerance isn't too hefty Lol. The bartenders are friendly and down-to-earth, though.
Anyway, the cover band was playing some music from Third Eye Blind (Jumper), Stone Sour (Through the Glass), Sublime (Lovin is what I got), Hootie and the Blowfish, etc. Mostly just laid back pop rock-ish stuff. But they did a pretty good job. <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7alMAsEy-Qk&s=f49bd5d8e3a8a338a3db9a47ac6c4ecc53539dd15c02bc93479bf7a3ef49d69f" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/w…</a>
And nothing beats the beautiful view of the water, since this spot is right on the river.
We had to wait a few minutes when we arrived, even though there were empty tables everywhere. We ended up getting stuck out by the bar, yuck, we were there for dinner.
Sad to say we should have just stuck to the bar, even though the drinks weren't great. How does one mess up sex on the beach? It's a fairly simple drink!
Waiter took forever to come, when he did he saw I was on the phone and walked off, didn't come back for 15 minutes more. Food wasn't great. I got the mahi mahi, which seemed fresh, but they should take the "Jamaican jerk" label off because it had NO flavor at all. The black beans and the yellow rice were equally bland and flavorless, the rice was pretty gummy. Hubby got the clam chowder which I'm sure came from a can, and the the Chioppino which he said was merely edible. Â At $19 each for bad food it was overpriced.
If you just want a beer and loud/bad music then this is a great spot on the river. I'll leave it to the snow-birds, who seemed to be having a great time.
As a restaurant -- this place deserves 1 star tops. Terrible food, awful service and just generally a nightmare of an experience.
For Vero's nightlife scene however -- Riverside is one of the mainstays. They usually have loud music or a band playing, the place gets packed and the drinks aren't bad. Its definitely a little more expensive than some of the other places to drink in Vero, but the atmosphere is better, so its worth the few extra dollars.
Whatever you do though, get a DD. The cops in Vero know you are coming over the bridge when Riverside closes and they are waiting to catch drunk drivers. Just get a designated and save yourself a lot of hassle. Or call Klub Car! It's SOOO much cheaper than a DUI.
Mediocre. Â The view is great. Â The food is so-so. Â They recently came under new mgmt, which is good, because prior to that, both my dad and I have gotten food poisoning from their seafood. Â It's a little touristy, but not too bad. Â If you go by boat (which I always do), dock space is pretty limited. Try the fish tacos...
Review Source:Agree with Tanya P's comments. The vibe is just what you are looking for as an out-of-towner: friendly, laid-back, on-the-water & tropical feel to this place.
I ate the ribs & they were excellent ... meat came right off the bone. The margarita was solid & the clam chowder app was very tasty.
Highly recommended to anyone visiting Vero!
Voted Vero Beach, Florida's best bar and restaurant by the Landshark Band!
Think Kelly's Mission Rock goes Jimmy Buffet. Throw in out-of-towners with locals and you have a cool mix of fun people. Great fresh seafood, covered deck bar and waterfront walking. Looking at the menu, must be a great hangover noshing spot as well.
