Oh Riverwood... I am right around the corner, so this is my go to spot. They have really great food and a ridiculously cheap happy hour. Monday thru Friday from 4-9 all of their pints are $2 and they have a great selection on tap. And to take the sting out of Cleveland sports, they have $1 Coors Lights during all Tribe, Browns, & Cavs game, so by the end of the game, you don't care who won or lost. Their tacos are probably the 2nd best on Detroit Ave. They are HUGE and you can get them any day of the week. On Wednesdays though, they are only $1. The beef is good, but if you're looking for something different, the chicken ones are spot on! They also have their award winning wings, Sweet Heat. They are perfect, and on Thursdays and during sports games, they are 40 cents. Between the beers, tacos, and wings, I could live at the Riverwood. I might get very fat, but I'd be happy dammit! I frequent this place mostly for some day drinking or Browns games (when you'll more often than not be Kickin' it with Kenny), as it gets pretty crowded on weekend nights, and seems to lose its charm. There's a jukebox, pool table in the back, and the smallest restroom I have ever seen. The old guys at the bar I work at like to tell me stories of the years they spent here when it was the Telstar. I love that this place has history, and remains a favorite in Lakewood.

Riverwood has the best wings and beer specials in Lakewood. I've never been disappointing with the food, it's excellent. The service can be a little a little slow on busy nights, but the servers are extremely nice and on top of their sh**.

I went here for a shot and a beer last night. The crowd has morphed. There were a lot of dudes. They were playing quarters in the booths. It was very loud. Girls were choosing terrible music on the digital jukebox. It was bright. These are all negatives. Except for the above mentioned shot and beer. The new owners set out to draw a big crowd once they completed the renovations a couple years back. Well, mission accomplished. The crowd just happens to be a bunch of a-holes.

My scattered thoughts on Riverwood aggregated from a bevy of over-drunken nights: I am not a local at this local bar in the same sense as the other true locals. I hail from the other side of Lakewood but that doesn't mean I don't know exactly what Riverwood is and has to offer. Cheap drinks - stopped in frequently with a small group of friends with the goal in mind of many beers. Many beers were had and rounds of shots were being bought without hesitation. The bar is simple and that's where its allure rises from. Pool table in the back which always has someone lurking it. Bathrooms are small and crappy but get the job done. Tall-backed, wooden booths make for a good fort to close yourself off from the rest of the bar crowd. I've heard the food is tasty. Nothing shy of simply executed bar food. Nothing at all wrong with that. I've also heard that during CLE sports games Riverwood likes to offer $1 PBRs. Although I'm not entirely sure now that I think about it. I just know that its a ridiculously cheap beer special. Its the cheap, local brewstop. Fridays and Saturdays can get quite packed after 10pm. I like stopping in on the weekdays so I can sit at the bar and relax, chat, watch TV.

The Riverwood is for delicious beef tacos on Wednesday nights. Naturally, I join the loyal "taco crew" on hump day to unwind, knock back a couple of drafts, and to relish the delicious taste of these fantastic tacos. Some like the hot beef tacos for $1, while others like the fish tacos $2.50; personally, I stick with the hot beef tacos. The shells are fried, and when you bite into them there is a subtle, yet satisfying crunch. Although the hot tacos bring some heat, really it's not enough, so I kick it up a notch with some of the red Tabasco sauce. I usually ask the bartenders for Sriracha sauce, but they don't have it in stock yet--I'm on a mission to get Sriracha sauce stocked in their inventory, stay tuned for an update. Honestly, the suicide tacos have a vinegary and astringent kick to them; I'm not a fan, and don't recommend them. I don't do mild sauce because well, it's mild, and doesn't really do anything for me. To cool you off your taste buds, try a Bell's Oberon a Hefeweizen wheat beer. It features some mild bubble gum and banana flavory notes. It's one of the better craft hefe's on the market. It's only $2 like the rest of their drafts on tap during happy hour, which ends at 9 p.m. Other drafts on tap include: Guinness, Bass, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Stella, Bud Light, and Great Lake's Dortmunder. I've only had wings here during the Lakewood Wing Crawl of 2011 and again a couple of weeks ago. They were good, but I need to eat more of them to give them a fair review. I will say that I was not impressed with the burger I've had here in the past. It was underwhelming. I have not had anything else on their menu yet. I've learned Lakwood pub's like the Riverwood usually do one food item really great or a couple of things well. Go to the Riverwood on Wednesday's for tacos, that's what you get here! So far I've compared Riverwood's tacos to Eddy's and Iggy's, Deagan's, and Barrio's in Tremont. Seriously, Riverwood has the best tacos amongst the three on taste and value. The taco crew is in agreement on this judgement as well. Wednesday's are usually packed, but if you get there by 5 p.m. you should be able to get your tacos faster, than if you get there by 7 p.m. or later. I appreciate the service I receive from Hailey, Ashley, and Katie that typically wait on me and the crew. They are always in great moods, offer snappy service, and take care of their customers. What more can you ask for after a long day at work? Note: To learn more about Bell's Oberon click herehttp://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/287/1094/

Seems like a great place to grab a beer at the old-school bar, but I was underwhelmed during a Saturday lunch -- it seriously took about an hour to get even our appetizer and drink refills. I don't want to sound like a complainer, but you expect a little more during maybe the busiest lunch day of the week. Nice ambiance, though -- I'll give this place another chance.

$2 draft beers until 9:00pm M-F. Great food specials, and a very friendly staff. Perfect place for happy hour.

Great food but the music is extremely loud. now this is coming from someone with hearing damage who is constantly told to turn the music down. Not like rock club loud but blasting elton john at noon on a wednesday. its so loud i had an earache last two times i went. Also the service isnt great either , but like i said the wings are perfect, best ive hady.Plz for the love of god turn the jukebox down. My bad review is due to the obvious lack of courtesy, Eat and gtfo

The Riverwood is a local bar with some great pub grub. It is very casual, with a small area in the back for pool. Wednesdays are $1 taco (beef) nights with margarita and beer specials. This place is pretty much a dive, but it is a local favorite. The cheap drinks, laid back manner of the clients, and yummy pub grub keep us keep coming back. My friends and I seem to keep turning up there even though there are still tons of Lakewood bars left to explore. They have plenty of tv's over the bar to catch the local game (the run great beer specials during Cleveland sports games). It is a bit chilly, so dress warm in the winter!
