The River

My favorite local bar, Marcus makes the best whiskey sour this side of the Hudson and Isabel and Besarta are the nicest servers around. If you don't know what to get start with a shot and a beer.

I love the river, best bar in nyc. The music was perfect on December 24th and a little too loud on Christmas (December 25th). Best drinks in town.

For me this place is such a hidden gem! I was visiting NYC and had to drop by my fav store bode and they staff told me the designer who did bode stores also did the bar, so I visited as part of my interior design inspo list, have to say the atmosphere is awesome! The bartender is very accommodating since I don’t drink alcohol, absolutely amazing would def come back!

Hands down the worst bar experience I’ve ever had. The River is an absolute joke of an establishment. My group and I were literally kicked out without a single reason. We weren’t loud, we weren’t causing problems, we were just spending money like every other customer. The staff acted like total amateurs — rude, arrogant, and completely unprofessional.

The cherry on top? We had a high-profile attorney with us who was absolutely disgusted by their behavior. If the staff thinks it’s a good business model to treat paying customers like garbage in front of someone who could dismantle their reputation in court, that tells you everything you need to know about how clueless this place is.

Do yourself a favor: skip The River. There are countless better bars in the city where you won’t be treated like dirt for no reason. This place deserves to sink.

A dark, lovely spot with whiskey-hued walls, highly considered aesthetics, and a hip downtown crowd. Classic cocktails for $16 and limited, lovely bar snacks. Brought to you by fashion designer Emily Bode, interior design group Green River Projects and Dr. Clark - next door.
