| - We stopped in to the Riverstone to have a drink and take a look at a menu as we waited for a friend to get off work in the area.
Our experience for this night was a 1 star but this was due to the 4 drunk, yelling, harassing patrons that were in the bar, at a table, being over-served and having a whipped cream food fight. Ridiculous. It was obvious that the waitresses were not happy with them and this leaked over into their service. I felt bad for the older patrons in the bar who were trying to talk, eat with their families/friends and hear themselves think. Just when I thought management would have had the balls to throw these clowns out, they were served another pint, what a gong show.
Looking past that for a moment, the bar was dim, lots of TVs, a good sized place and clean. The menu was varied and there was a steak sandwich on for $6.95 for Fridays which lent to the fact that the place was very busy as it was dinnertime. There were a lot of these coming out and they looked good! Comes with your choice of fries or soup of the day. The drink specials were decent too, 4 flavoured vodka mixed drinks for $5.25.
NO debit at this location. Cash and credit card only.
It was hard to leave a nice tip but we did even though if took forever to get drinks, the bill. My husband wanted a steak sandwich so bad but we were not willing to stay 1 second longer than needed.
I understand what a pub can be like - we practically lived in them in University but I have never in my life seen grown men act like such fools in a public place and not get tossed.
A sad experience and not sure we would come back if this is the clientele that the Riverstone attracts. Shame on the management for not acting more responsibly.
