Riverfront Tavern - JONESBOROUGH

In town for the weekend and wanted to stop by a sports bar to watch some college basketball and get some drinks before our dinner reservations.

Riverfront Tavern is a gem downtown so much so that I hesitate to even shareIf you are looking for the super crowded "Honky Tonk" hookup scene.

The good: Both kitchen and bar are open late Food is good (I had the Cuban and loved it) Good beer selection.

???. Upon entering Riverfront Tavern we saw many happy people with many drinks. We sat down at a booth picked out drinks and waited on our server. After a few minutes of looking around at all the taps hanging from the ceiling, we opened up the menus and checked out the food. After discussing all the items and choices we had made a decision. So we waited. We looked all around for a server. We waited. We looked more at the menu....thought more about how thirsty we were......and after minutes of no service we left. We ended up going to the the Back Alley Diner and were recognized and served within minutes.

Great flood. Fun atmosphere. Great service. Timmy is the BEST. A must visit.
