Absolutely loved this spot for lunch during our stay in the area. We had a variety of food over the time period: black and blue burger, pulled pork sandwich, nachos, fish tacos, wings, and chick peas. Everything was good, but the wings were a bit dry. Our favorites were the burger and pulled pork.This place has a very chill atmosphere, the staff are friendly and chatty. They have an ultimate beer selection and play reggae and 90s music. Highly recommend this spot for good food and great vibes.

Definitely a vibey local dive. Expect a more hip version of the dive bar experience. Great music, chill hangout couches and a HUGE selection of craft beer.The food was decent for how cheap it was. Still dive bar food though. The sandwich was only 5 bucks!It’s very self service oriented, but the staff was nice. I felt at home when they said “you can get your coffee right there, and I’ll pull out the half and half for ya.”A decent local hangoutParking: Not a huge lot

Always one of my favorite local joints. Right in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale (and where the original started) is this funky bar/restaurant/to go place. A million beers to have here! Amazing pizza, plus a whole bunch more food and the staff here are the best! Friendly and make everyone feel at home.This place is one of the many reasons while I love Fort Lauderdale! My hometown.⛱️🌴🌞🏳️‍🌈🛥🌅🐊🐕🐾🚶‍♂️🚴‍♀️

The most laid-back, charming little bottle store (with food!) tucked away in the cutest neighborhood.Come-as-you-are and grab a quick beer (or two!) with some friends or even solo and you’ll have a good time. Very casual environment.The food is also SO cheap! I got the wings, they were massive, and sat here with a big group after a bike ride. Staff is very welcoming.

Nice small place with a big selection of craft beers.. seating inside and outside. They have a cool honesty policy where u keep your cans and take them to the register when you're ready to pay.I didn't know they served food til I got there and I didn't even expect much food wise but I got hungry so I ordered a North Fork sandwich and I wish I took a picture of it because it was a beautiful thing. The young homie in the kitchen was throwing down. 🤝

I am amazed how great this place was, from the awesome atmosphere, to the amazingly friendly staff. Selection of beer is incredible here, and the food was finger licking good, I had the pastrami Reuben Sandwich and damn you can’t go wrong at all, had my taste buds buzzing, the waitress topped it off with a side of Tabasco mixed with sriracha sauce for those who like a little spicy on their food. An awesome spot in a low key spot, a must visit when in Ft L, you won’t regret it!!

This place is amazing, and off the beaten path.The pizza is highly rated, and Riverside has a selection of at least 250 beers to help wash down that pizza.Its a small, quaint location, with leather couches, and barrel tables to play games on while you chat away a weekend afternoon.

Cool Concept ~ Great Service ~ Good FoodThis place is really cool especially if you like trying new niche beers, canned cocktails or hard selzers. They have a wide variety of any kind of drink you might want and it’s all self serve from their fridges. We also had some food here. I had the pastrami sandwich and my brother had the caprese salad and the breakfast sandwich. The food had a cafe feel to it and was good. Jared, our server was really helpful and attentive and the service was excellent all around. I would definitely recommend coming to this place!

3.95 out of 5. Cool place, in a fun little pocket of FT. Lauderdale. Self service beverage market and small no frills menu that services the plethora of cute and "kitchy" airbnb properties in the area.Fish tacos and Turkey BLT pictured where both decent and fairly priced at $10 and $8, respectively. I would definitely return if I was in the area but I probably would not make a special trip.

Love this place. Takes you back in time to the good CB old days. Great food reasonably priced AND more individual brands/flavors/varieties of beer I’ve ever seen in one place. Anyone who comes in to visit me here in paradise is introduced to this place before they can leave. And everyone loves it!!! One of my absolute favs down here in South Florida

A beer heaven! The pizzas are delicious and fish tacos were great. Tried the fried chickpeas, yumm, Italian trio and hummus too.

Great place if you like beer and sodas, lots of niche stuff to try. Pretty chilly inside so I recommend bringing a jacket. Cheeseburger wasn't too good but the fish tacos are great. Not a lot of parking, definitely a carpool situation. Sadly doesn't meet ADA standards, no ramp and lots of rocks and steps to get inside, there aren't wide enough gaps between the tables and walls to get to the bathroom if you're in a wheelchair.

I highly recommend Riverside, the ultimate beer haven! With over 10 fridge doors stocked with a diverse selection of imported, domestic, and local brews, it's a beer enthusiast's dream. The kitchen serves up delicious food to complement your choice of beverage. The standout, however, is the impeccable service – Justin's assistance always ensures a top-notch experience.

A great and unexpected find! This place has 600+ beers, a dynamite menu (their pizzas are amazing), friendly staff, and a relaxed atmosphere. We stopped in everyday during our recent trip. Do not miss this place.

Great Neighborhood HangoutVisited several times including yesterday, so figured it is time I shared something. I believe this is the go-to place for craft beer however we do not drink much though my husband enjoys an occasional glass of sparkling wine. The vibe is casual and fun. The walls are lined with coolers where you help yourself, keeping the empties for checkout. The Honor System seems to work and is wonderful. That being said, there is no poor service, you will always have a cold one when you are ready. The seating is communal and the outside tables are actually in the parking lot but it all works. There is sofa seating and large high tops, all communal as I said. Photos attached. I am old now so I have not visited after dark but I hear it is lots of fun. I have enjoyed the pizza and the breakfast sandwiches but have yet to completely explore the whole menu.

Was a fun little spot off the beaten path. Food was good and I was pretty impressed with the vegetarian wrap. Selection of craft bottled beers was extensive and all the local brews on tap is the reason we stopped in. Service was great and would love to go back.

It's been a tough year, so I dropped by Riverside Cafe to relax and gather my thoughts. As I sat comtemplating my existence and the meaning of life, I couldn't help but notice the amazing selection of beer. There must be 500 different options. It's just alot to think about. I mean, it's already a challenge to figure out why am I here; what's it all about; is there a god? And how about these subs? The delicious "Section Ate" ham hoagie with everything was life-affirmingly melt-in-your-mouth good. Anyway, I've heard that the number 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything (seriously, google it), but it wasn't the answer to 'how do I pay for these very reasonably priced drinks and food'. Had to use my Visa for that. Looks like I need to do more meditating. But a big thumbs up to Riverside Market. Loved the food and service. 👍🥪🍻

This little hole in the wall is adorable. Tucked in the middle of a quaint neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale. They have 100s of beers. It works on the honor system, you go get the beers you want out of the cooler and pay at the end.They have a chickpea appetizer which is wonderful and the pizza was amazing! They have games that you can sit and play in a living room typesetting it's just a really cool atmosphere

Great beer selection, you should ask for pricing on some smoothies because they can be pricey. Pizza was good

Ashton made our experience even better. Knowledgeable on his beers and personable. Food was amazing as well as our craft beers. There's games to play while enjoying your food and drinks.
