It was my wife's birthday yesterday and because we hadn't been feeling very well we hadn't made any solid plans- at the last moment we decided to pop into the RR for their happy hour. It was nice to find a cool air conditioned place in the back. We ordered four items, three from their happy hour menu and found we had so much food we had to get a take out bag! What I was really impressed by (and I'm usually not that easily impressed) was the level of service- we had not only the full attention of our server, but other staff members dropped by from time to time to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. If I had any quibbles, I would have like to see some sparkling wine on the wine list; I understand that it serves mostly the beer drinking crowd, but one sparkling wine wouldn't kill (we ended up drinking the one rose they had available, which was fine). A very pleasant time.
My friends and I have been eating lunch and dinner here for years. None of us has ever complained about being sick. The food and staff are great! Service is quick too. My favorite pub in New West without a doubt!
The river's reach is filled with kindness and compassion. We bring my brother in law who has Lewy bodies dementia to the pub on a regular basis. The entire staff is amazing - thoughtful, patient and friendly every single time. The food is great but the staff is what brings us back time and time again.
Had a great time tonite!
And our waitress (Alison) was awesome.
I would recommend this place to everyone.
This is why it is my favorite pub.
Awesome place, great staff and good food! Great neighborhood pub!
Great staff great food great specials great service
plus there is a patio and front street side seating
love the place great place to meet friends.
Having been there a few dozen times now, I've always been very pleased with quality of the servings and service. And it is a fine atmosphere, with mostly very friendly customers. Not the cheapest place in New West, but a truly good value as it is.
It is a really nice place, the food was good and the waitresses were excellent!
Great service!! Great food!! Amazing atmosphere!! Never had a bad experience at this pub.
Very friendly staff and great prime rib. I will be coming back.
Best pub in Lower Mainland. Excellent menu and food!
Great atmosphere. Great prices.
• one of New West’s affordable, good pubs is Rivers Reach
• they have good amount of seating, seat yourself and feel confortable
• they always have specials... appies 1/2 price so take advantage of them
• servers are nice & efficient
• Food is better than you expect!
• Calamari: nice taste with some Jalapeños perfect with your drink
• Bacon wrapped scallops: perfectly cooked, right size, good flavours to it
• a good place to hang out with couple of your friends and just chill after a long day of work/work week
Went here a couple weeks ago, have been a couple times before. Always good service, good-quality food. I like their chicken burger, appreciate the daily specials--but the poutine? omg it was SO good!!!
Daughter and I had some business in New Westminster yesterday morning. I offered to treat to lunch - we decided a pub lunch would be fun. She recommended the River’s Reach Pub - it was handy, our timing was ‘right’, it was 11:20 am, open, and yea, there was a parking space along the side!
I really liked the “look and feel” of the place — nice spacing of table arrangements, with almost separated areas, and different types of seating (standard tables and chairs, high tables and stools, etc.). We chose a (standard-type) table, at the front side of the restaurant, near the back.
I ordered a pint of Rickard’s Red draft (they’re Tuesday ‘special’), and clubhouse sandwich (on toasted white bread, came w/turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato), and fries — daughter (the driver) opted for water, and a large baked lasagna (came w/mozzarella cheese, and meat sauce, and at her request, some pineapple), and garlic toast.
We did good — friendly, accommodating service, with some rather fine-looking food presentations, and tasty, well-made preparations. She enjoyed her lasagna (leaving a little to go back home for later), and I sure enjoyed my sandwich (leaving nothing to go back to the kitchen, or away with me).
This was a first time visit to River’s Reach for me, and based on the dining experience, we made a fine decision, and I was most happy with daughter’s choice of venue.
I actually didn't go - I just ordered (DID YOU KNOW THEY DELIVER?!)
The food arrived promptly, they had debit at the door (♥), the delivery guy was super nice, and the food was great for the price! I'm actually going to order from here again after I write this :3c
Very good food here, I was pleasantly surprised. Service was decent too. I'll be back for sure.
Rivers Reach Pub. This Pub is one of the best anywhere!!! The food is always GOOD and the service is Always GOOD. We go there several times a year and have never had one single complaint. Management must be GOOD to have some awesome Food and Servers....a very friendly pub......we have tasted many foods and they are all worthy of eating...
I like this pub, was there in the middle of the day and service was good. Hot wings are delicious and good price. Good environment and good food(only eaten their once but going back soon)
No better hot wings anywhere for the price. $5 for a pound, absolutely awesome. Half price pizza on Saturdays and half price appies from 3-5 everyday.
My favorite pub. Great beer and hot wings ! Server Morgan is great .
The weekend prime rib is truly great. The beers are pretty expensive. Peter (owner) is a good guy, supports his community, don't know why that makes a difference to me but it does.
This place is always busy but the food is good ($5 a pound of wings!) and service is overall good. I also like the pub atmosphere.
Lively. Awesome lively diverse atmosphere with people from all walks here. Inside has a warm and inviting feeling, especially in the room with the fireplace, it was very easy to hunker down there with my friend and enjoy happy hour! good drink prices and the wings were very good.
Good food, bad service. We've been here quite a few times- this place really does have great pub food and cheap appetizer specials during the day, but the service is very hit-or-miss.
there are some really awesome and friendly waitresses working there, but definitely some with a lot of attitude too.
...you're supposed to apologize when you mix up an order! not argue with the customer about how you're sure that's what was ordered... why would anyone order something they specifically hate? lol.
overall I do enjoy this place for the menu selection and food quality, but don't really feel compelled to head there every time we're craving pub food.
Great Service, Great pizza. Been going there for years....really nice atmosphere, Sat night half-price pizza (super pizza), and above average service. Best pub in New West, and can hold it's own and better many others out of town.
Food was delicious!! I'm never gonna forget this place because I enjoyed this place with my special someone!
Excellent pubgrub. Best pub food I've ever had!
River's has THE best French Onion soup! No where else compares by far! You can't pass up this excellent $5 meal! Me and friends usually go for their appys and have tried almost all of them and haven't once been disapointed with their food. Great food for Great prices!
Best pub in New West, hands down!. I moved to New Westminster about 2 years ago and have been to River's Reach MANY times. Not once have I had bad service, the waitresses are always EXTREMELY friendly and seem to enjoy their job. The food is excellent, and well priced - In fact they have THE best deal on Nachos and they are delicious! Great daily specials (2 for 1 appies quite often) and great atmosphere (it can be a little on the loud side) but the place is great, so everyone goes! Good job guys!! Highly recommend!!
Love ya miss ya rivers reach. This is the place that I miss most in Vancouver. I am living way up north and miss the ambience of the Reach, the great wine list, friendly service and fantastic appies. Best pizza in Vancouver as well! Love to the Reach!
Great barbeque beef ribs every Monday night.
This bar has the best pizza in new west and they deliver. Every thing on the menu is top notch. HD whisky burger is a classic. Grate dayly deals. Good service. Out of all the bars in new west this is my fav.
The food is quite good, and the tap selection is decent. The kitchen is incredibly slow though. Servers are very friendly, provide great service, and usually make up for the lengthy food delay.
It is funny how our expectations of what a meal or a dish should be like can influence how we feel about the meal or dish as it is presented to us. Today for lunch I had a brief client meeting in New Westminster and we decided to meet at the River’s Reach Pub. Not having tried the Philly Cheesesteak Wrap at the Reach before, I decided to give it a try. The menu made it sound delicious – sirloin beef grilled with onions, green peppers, cheddar cheese with a chipotle mayo all wrapped up inside a jalapeño cheddar tortilla. I admit, the Reach’s interpretation of a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich was delicious. But it was very different from what I expected to receive. And that disconnect made it difficult for me to totally enjoy this sandwich/wrap. I felt like I was eating a very good steak sandwich with some crisp green onions, not a Philly Cheesesteak. What I really wanted was an oozy, gooey sandwich of shaved or thin sliced steak grilled with a mess of onions, peppers and cheese. And because the vision in my head was different from what was on my plate, I had a tough time accepting this delicious wrap. So the bottom line, the River’s Reach make a great sirloin steak wrap. It is excellent. But it is not a traditional Philly Cheesesteak sandwich or wrap.
I’ve been here twice and first time I had this amazing shrimp wrap that the chef had concocted on his own! It was so good I raved about it to my gf who tried it also and loved it! And this time I had the mushroom Neptune and prime rib, the food here is to DIE FOR!!! The server even brought me my mashed potatoes I had ordered too no questions asked when I got roasted potatoes! The servers and owners are amazing here and this is the best pub I’ve ever been too! I can’t believe I haven’t tried this place sooner! Keep up the amazing work! 👋👋👋👋
The food was very well displayed and very tasty, the service was excellent and the drinks were also very good, no complaints very nice pub plenty of tv's and very modern , bathrooms were very clean , super place to go to watch your favourite game ?
I ordered a chicken clubhouse and my wife ordered a hamburger and our friends ordered a large mixed salad which was very good and also a lettuce wrap which was also very good !
In fact all the food was really good , will be back !
The atmosphere here is wonderful! Traditional European pub décor, very large and clean, and is packed full of locals. Not too roudy, senior friendly, and a great place to watch sporting events on the many big screens. On Friday and Saturday, between 4 and 8, they have a prime rib special with mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables and Yorkshire puddings! Yum! There is a solarium on the back, pumping out heat like it's free, so on a cold day this is the place to be!
The food was great! The beef dip was the clear winner out of all the dishes! If you like beef dips, get this one! :)
Surprisingly good salads! Nice size, fresh and tasty. Came in to grab a quick bite before a meeting. Service was a little slow so had to eat faster than I would have liked. But will come back another time when I'm not in a rush.
Busy place so a bit of a wait for food but server was good and wings were great. Great price too.
Good pub, good beer on tap, and worth coming back.
I had the tuna tacos. The food isn’t overly special but it was still good. I really liked the vibe in here. It’s very chill and spacious. It has a very European pub vibe and I like the way it’s decorated.
We were at Rivers Reach about a month ago. It was fairly packed and many people were in the waiting area. We decided to wait and glad we did. We got a table after an only about 10 minutes. We had the best Calamari in the area and our mains were very yummy too. This was our first time there, sure glad to have gone in.
