Went to the riverwalk Sunday as they had an event for pride. When I got there I thought I was at the wrong place because there were a bunch of people with ribbons from some Race or ??? but no visible signs of pride. Finally found my friends and I think there were 2-3 other groups there. So I felt obliged to order as I was at their pride event. Ordered a cocktail and a cheeseburger. $15 for the cocktail and $13 for a cheeseburger The cocktail arrived and it was very small but I don't think had any alcohol . It was like a cranberry spritzer and nothing special but with a dried flower sitting on top? Made me uncomfortable because where did that come from??? Now the burger. Not everyone puts mayo on their burger, but what they brought was a bun with a sliver of tomato and a small patch of lettuce. No fries (ok, they didn't promise) but a bag of potato chips. The burger looked like it came directly from a frozen box and thrown on the grill. It was dry and unseasoned. It came with a packet of ketchup, mustard and relish. I was thinking they got it wrong and gave me the condiment pack for a hot dog, but when I requested mayo they told me that they don't have it. I'm very sorry that I didn't send it back because the dry burger with no flavor tasted like cardboard. I didn't want to make a scene, but instead I left feeling angry and disappointed. I went expecting a good time and left feeling pride gouging and that they should have either learn to make a tasty burger or leave it off their menu. Note: I have been there many times with groups and had pizza which I thought was decent. Yesterday I felt like they stole my joy read more

This place had my hippy vibe, relaxing no stress. I spent my time watch the gentleman a few stool down from me drawing while I tried my flight and pretzel. The service was great friendly not pushy and very knowledgeable. I only had the pretzel but I enjoyed. Wish I lived closer, what is better then a book club ,then one that meets at brewery. Will be returning when back in area. read more

They had a good variety of food. The pickle pizza was a nice surprise to see as a special on the menu for the day. As a big fan of pickles, it could have used more, but it was still good. Nice, relaxing environment. The staff were really nice. read more

RiverView is a very decent place to go hang on a weekend afternoon or evening, especially if you like kids and dogs, both of which are welcome. If you don't have or love kids or dogs (like me) it's still an alright place to hang. Very decent beer, pizza was outstanding (my husband got the beach pizza and it was phenomenal), my chicken caesar salad was just okay. Service was good despite the fact that they were very busy (we were there on a Saturday evening). We'll definitely be back for some pizza and beer, especially during warmer months because there's a large outdoor eating area which is nice. read more

Cool place to walk into as you walk through the door you can see them brewing or canning the beer. Then you walk into the bar and restaurant portion of the brewery where you can sit at the bar and simply the beer they make and get a pizza or nachos which are pretty good service is excellent as well very informative about the beer as well place is very casual and up to date they also are transgender friendly as well good place to eat drink and be merry read more

Whenever we visit Salem, my husband and I always make it a point to take the commuter rail out to Newburyport to visit RiverWalk. We usually sit outside in the beer garden and relax with some brews. Our favorites are the IPAs, RiverWalk has some really tasty ones. The day they started having pizza on the menu was monumental because the pies are really delicious! We aren't big eaters but the two of us devour the whole pie because it is so good! I always find the staff very pleasant and helpful. I really love RiverWalk, I wish I was there right now! read more

Cool place. Fast, friendly service. Pumpkin beer was really good! Food was tasty - the wings were AMAZING. They're beer braised, extremely tender and very flavorful. Pizza was just okay (sorry, I'm a New Yorker) but still enjoyable. My husband enjoyed the beer; he bought a four pack of Hit of Haze. Fun, local place! Worth a visit, for sure! read more

First time coming here and it was so nice! We sat outside as I had my dog with me. Staff was very friendly and attentive. I have the sour and it was amazing. We also ordered the wings and a Crunchwrap both amazing. I LOVED the wing sauce Can't wait to come back here. read more

Nice hidden gem in the back of a industrial park. I read many of the reviews and I agree, the waitstaff could be friendlier, but that shouldn't effect the beer and seltzers. We tried three or four different brews and were pleased with the taste and presentation. The seltzers were really good as well, surprisingly, since they are usually an afterthought at a brewery. The cost was reasonable, given it's a touristy spot. read more

Always a great beer selection along with alternatives and a bunch nice apps, pizza and sandwiches to munch on. Big outdoor seating area right along the Clipper City Rail Trail with lots of room for the kids and plenty of parking, too. Head for the wind mill and you're there! read more

This place was a huge highlight on our weekend trip to Newburyport! The service was so friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, the beers and seltzers we had were great, and while we didn't eat our friends did and said the pizza and pretzels were amazing! We went here twice in one weekend because we enjoyed it so much! read more

Pizza is good. Beer selection is good Service also good. They need someone to actually act as a hostess and seat people when they arrive. We always seem to have to wait awkwardly for an extended period until someone can get around to seating us. Parking can be a challenge when it's busy here read more

Pizzas looked fantastic, but I didn't get one. Tried 4 different beers on tap. All had great flavor, personal favorite was Tangerine Skies. The Food Menu was impressive for a small brewery; Sweet & Spicy Snack Mix was a bold mix (included wasabi peas, sweet peanuts, and more!) to complement your drinks and is a great tag along if you're looking for a small snack. Atmosphere was nice, lights gave a good vibe and facilities were very well kept. Would recommend. Simply, Simpkins read more

Beers were good. We sat on a bench outside. Definitely the best pizza I've ever had in a brewery. Thin crust, crispy, cheesy, and flavorful. Wish there were more toppings. I'd love to come back here read more

During the COVID-19 stay at home advisory, I was so hard pressed to go out to a restaurant/brewery/bar, that the moment the governor introduced phase 2 of the opening, I made a reservation to go and enjoy a beer and a simple meal at this brewery I've long wanted to go to. We had to make a reservation beforehand, and we did. When we went there, we were pointed to the outside area. We were given a paper menu. I ordered the purple label and my partner ordered the flagship Riverwalk IPA. We also ordered a pretzel. The Riverwalk IPA was fine, but the purple label was really delicious. I'm not that much into dark beers, but this one was amazing, with a note of blackberry and dark roast coffee. After the purple label, I ordered the brown label. This one was also good and did have a strong star anise flavor to it, though I couldn't taste the almond flavor. When we were sitting and enjoying the beer, the server brought us an experimental pizza the restaurant was trying out. It was a 4 cheese blend, and it was good. I'd recommend them to sell the pizza. It was thin in crust and rich in flavor. The pretzel was also good, though not out of the ordinary. My rating reverts to the normal rubric with the Corona advisory coming to an end. 50% for food/drinks, 30% for service and 20% for everything else. I rate 5 to everything, so an overall rating of 5.0. Pro-tip: I'd definitely recommend this place after a nice walk by the river and a beer after. Definitely give the purple label a try, you don't find that many blackberry porters. read more

Great place to visit! Fabulous pizza, delicious food and awesome beer. Family friendly.

Apps are horrible. Pizza and beer is great. Wait staff are horrible. Absolutely horrible!!!!!! They would rather sit in the corner and eat all the mistakes, then wait on people. It takes forever to get a second beer. It takes forever to order food. They all gather around the kitchen, eating food, paying no attention to the dining room. If they only did their job, I'm sure sales would be through the roof. read more

Good place to get together with friends. Beer selections are great and their pizza is really good NY style with a foldable crust and a fresh tomato flavored sauce. read more

Its taken me a long time to post this review because it pains me. Ive been a loyal customer of Riverwalk since they opened their doors at their first location and had loved their beers. While enjoying my favorite beer, screen door, this past summer I noticed the fine print on their menu. They were taking the money I was spending on my favorite beer and donating the proceeds to a "charity" called the Brigid Alliance. After a quick google search I was shocked to learn that they had put me in a position that I was indirectly funding the barbaric act of Abortion. That will be the last riverwalk beer I will ever purchase. Others can follow their own conscience in deciding whether to spend their money at this establishment. read more

Nice brewery, lots of room. Plenty staff, but let us stand there waiting to be seated. Girls were filing beer cooler. We sat outside, great area, lots of kids...good family environment. But again nobody paid us anymind. Took forever to put an order in. The name of the game is to make money. But they were not interested. read more

Riverwalk brewing company is the Star of the north shore. Unlike many other breweries who are in it for the money--this company is in it for the pure love of beer! The flavors are unique and crafted by hand and by heart. It's a small space so I wouldn't recommend going here to drink and hang out, but even better I would suggest taking your beer home and enjoying it in the beautiful surrounding that Newburyport provides! Check their facebook or give them a call for hours as they tend to vary, and if you're in the area it's a must try--If they are closed and you still want to try (because you really should) stop by a local restaurant like The Grog or The Deck and grab a glass on draft! read more

I accidentally discovered their beers because I was attracted to the growlette in the package store. What a happy accident! Love their IPA! Blackberry porter! And the kettle ale. I love the richness of their IPA- full bodied, smells like I am standing in the field of hops. Rich aromatic. read more

Very cool brewery. Kind of random location, but it is just a short uber ride from downtown which is well worth it. Very friendly staff. Nice size place and they have a bunch of picnic tables set up outside. Lots of room outback, as a group of kids were playing wiffle ball. We opted for the life size jenga. Newburyport actually has quite a few brewery spots and this one should be on your list! read more

This place is cute. It's a Small place only a few seats at a bar top and a corner table and two old school video games. You can have some free samples. Which is nice, it's about the beer. Try it. Like it. Buy it. Or not. I enjoyed all of my samples. My husband and I both enjoyed the Uncle Bob. And the story of Uncle Bob too. :-) They have growlers, growletts and cans to purchase. read more

This was my first trip to RiverWalk and I was impressed! They had many COVID precautions in place but it was still an enjoyable experience. Super nice outdoor space, filled up QUICK- got there a little before they opened at noon on a Sunday and nearly all tables were full by 12:30. I ordered the EB, one of the most unique sandwiches I've ever had- open face on banana bread, with smoked provolone and came with a hefty portion of ham, pineapple salsa and slaw. It sounded like such a weird combo that I couldn't NOT order it and I was pleasantly surprised! Great mix of sweet and smoky/savory and a large portion. My friend got the wings and said they were great. Beers were decent- we only ordered one but I would have had more if not for a time crunch. The taproom looked like a good place to hang out in "normal" times! read more

We make the drive up from Boston every few weeks to get some outdoor space and fresh air. Wonderful beer and service! Our kids and dogs love the space too. read more

First time having the Riverwalk IPA. Outstanding service, very good beer. Legendary place!

I've been to hundreds of breweries. Service was terrible, the girl working the check in desk was an airhead . The mandatory food was terrible . The large kids birthday party with balloons sent me over the edge. Parents of the year !! And the beer was mediocre at best . One beer and I left . Throwback a few miles away 10 times better . read more

Really nice atmosphere. The beer and pizza is great! Thin crust and the crisp is perfect!

This place is amazing the 2 reasons I couldn't do 5 stars was 1. The lack of signage making it difficult to find them and 2. Bees other than that the beer service and food was fantastic !! read more

Large groups beware!! I've been a fan of Riverwalk's beers for quite some time, so I expected to have an equally enjoyable experience visiting the brewery, but that was hardly the case when my group of 10 tried to get some beers as part of a birthday celebration. We ordered our initial beers without issue, chatting pleasantly with the staff, seated ourselves at the picnic tables in the beer garden, and had some pizzas delivered. However, when I went to the bar to order my second beer (the first one out of our group to try doing so), I was informed by the manager that our ENTIRE PARTY WOULD NO LONGER BE SERVED. When asked for an explanation, he simply said that we were a large group and he had assumed that we had already had some drinks elsewhere that afternoon. We had been quietly keeping to ourselves, had done nothing to disturb other patrons or the staff, and showed no signs of being overserved, so this came totally out of the blue. A couple of people in our group had small dogs with them, so a large part of the reason we chose to come to Riverwalk was because they allowed dogs, but once we were asked to leave, our options were limited when it came to finding another establishment that could accommodate us, which in turn led to several members of our party going home much earlier than initially planned, putting a large damper on the evening (it was only about 8:00 at this point, by the way). It's been about 24 hours and I'm still bewildered by what happened; in my 10+ years of visiting breweries, I've never been to one that treated respectful, paying customers this way. If they suspected that one of us was too intoxicated to drive, I would understand if they wanted to stop serving that specific person, but to shut off an entire party after one round is utter absurdity. They can be sure that I or any of the rest of my group will not be returning for another visit, and I caution any other large groups before planning an outing to Riverwalk, because there's a good chance your money won't be any good there. read more

Ordered pizza to go, was told 20 minutes Went to pick up Wasn't busy there, and customer service was awful., very rude After 40 minutes he finally found my pizza, listed under wife's name which was not name we gave Got home with pizza only to find it was burned. Won't be back read more

As of right now this is just a tasting room, so it is just samples but they are in the process of moving to a full size taproom with a beer garden and everything. They have a handful of beers available to sample (they are free!) and if you like what you try they have it available for purchase. It's a cool little place but not a lot going on at the moment. Can't wait until they open the beer garden! read more

We visited soon after outdoor seating reopened. Our table was more than sufficiently far from other people, all the servers wore masks and all the guests wore masks if they were passing through inside (where there is plenty of floorspace, high ceilings and open windows) - it felt very safe and I wouldn't be worried about going back again. We also were very nicely given a free sample of the Old Man By the Sea pizza and it was genuinely delicious. I say this as a pizza snob from New Jersey. Good beer, good pizza and a lovely experience coming out of this long lockdown! read more

The bartender with the beard seemed completely miserable. Did not smile once. Our pizza was good, but it took an hour to arrive. Our waitress was less then personable. Forgot a part of our order which happens. But zero accountability or apology. Just shrugged and walked away. The mens room had a bunch of paper towels all over the floor. When I approached a member of the staff about the bad experience, he gave the worst excuse ever. He said they were busy. He was talking to two young women, so he couldn't have been that busy in his vest and tie outfit. I never complain but this was awful. read more

Staff is rude. Beer is average. Couldn't try food since they ran out of chicken and that made up 90% of the menu.

Riverwalk Brewing - you are so cool. We came here on our quest to complete the Massachusetts craft beer passport. The funny thing is that unless we had done that we'd never seen or heard of Riverwalk beer because they had not yet started bottling (but they have now). This is some good beer. They also have some great stories. Uncle Bob's bitter is a great beer with a great story - so really the best of both worlds. They had a great couple of porters on tap when we visited, and some English styles that we did not think we would like, but ended up loving. A hidden gem for sure! read more
