    a drink in a glass
    Kim M.

    It's about time we have more options on the east side of South Elgin besides townie filled dive bars!!! I am new to the craft beer scene so yesterday I thought I'd stop in at their grand opening. I was happy to see that on tap they had short fuse, tropical hurt- which is the beer that turned me on to the scene. I also had a fantastic pumpkin beer. I don't usually drink in the winter so Iove the option of CBD seltzer and social tonics! Once I get a little bit more accustomed to the scene, I will probably redo this review with details that are actually helpful. I really love that they are going to be having food trucks as well, because currently the only option is McDonald's on this side of town. The owners took the time to introduce themselves and chat a little bit which was fantastic. It is a unassuming but warm atmosphere, and I really hope that they succeed. and with that I am headed back to check it out today.

    Riverlands just keeps getting better every time I visit! The staff is incredibly friendly and…read moreknowledgeable. They're always happy to help you find the perfect beer or seltzer, whether you know exactly what you want or just want to try something new. The selection is fantastic, with a great variety of beers and seltzers that truly offer something for everyone. Sours are my absolute favorite. Plus, I'm always excited for their rotating Tiki Time drinks during the summer! The food trucks are always delicious and add a fun, fresh element when onsite. The outdoor (and pet-friendly) patio is yet another highlight. It's clear they continue to invest in making the space even better each year. It's such a great spot to relax, hang out with friends, and enjoy a drink (or two). Riverlands is easily my favorite local spot. Highly recommend giving this place a try and hopefully it'll become your new favorite, too!

    Best selection of beers in the Tri-City area! From award winning lagers to tasty hazy IPAs and…read morefruity sours and seltzers, they've got a little bit of everything, and it's ALL top notch. Gorgeous taproom and amazing ambiance on the patio! Excellent, knowledgeable, friendly staff makes you feel like a regular whether you are or not. ***To those bashing this local family owned small business because sometime the food trucks don't show up....major eyeroll. They cannot control when a food truck cancels last minute, and often try to find a replacement when possible. GO REVIEW THE FOOD TRUCK instead of the host location that has no control over them.***
