Cavanaugh's Riverdeck

Kevin and Dominique gave us free shots!!! Love them!!! Domonique suggested green tea shots that tasted exactly like orange tick tacks. GO DRAGONS!!!

Overall I enjoyed myself at Cavanaugh's on a Sunday. I was in attendance to celebrate a friends birthday. They played Pandora for most of our visit but a DJ became playing music around 7pm.I enjoyed the fried shrimp and veggie platter provided but the chicken wings were fried to hard for my liking (they were a bit dry) but they looked delicious.Now the biggest things that I did not care for during this visit was the bar. The male bartender (a female came on later on around 6pm or 7) while making our drinks dropped the lime on the outdoor bar and instead of tossing it, he put it on the side of the cup as garnishment.I didn't order another drink after that and stuck to beer in a can. After that I sat at the bar to watch how he worked and not one time did I see him wash his hands, wipe the bar down, or clean up the salt from the plate of salt that was on the bar for what I believe was used for margaritas that blew down the bar from the wind.Unfortunately, that is a turn off for me so I don't ever need another drink at this bar.Also, the food for the party should have been setup in the reserved area of the party and not on the opposite side of the bar. Shortly after the food was brought out, I walked over to get a plate of food and had to continuously swat away an annoying fly that was hovering over the uncovered food. Another turnoff for me. So I won't drink here unless it's in a can or bottle and I'll eat before I arrive if attending for a party.

First time visiting Cavanaugh's Riverdeck was for an event and it was decent. The place is mostly outside with different spots that are shaded by tent(s). The view of the water, bridge etc added to the experience.Since this review is based on the event, I think my time spent was cool. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Had a few drinks and appetizers. Tried the old bay fries & cheese sauce, cheesesteak spring rolls and mozzarella sticks. Tasted good and appropriate for this type of day.Bathroom was clean which is important to note!The bartenders and staff were friendly. They worked hard and kept the place cleaned while the event was going on.

I came here for a post Covid event on a Friday evening. I believe sip city mixer was a private happy hour event so my review is strictly on the location as I did not dine at Cavanaugh'a riverdeck.The Riverdeck's entrance is easy to spot and getting in through security was easy once we showed IDs. They had a tent set up and there were 3 bars within the outside area, each in a different section of the facility. There was a lot of people and everyone now being maskless including the bartender takes some getting used to. The view was okay and I had a good time.

Amazing outdoor hangout spot. Several bars to choose from and so many different areas to find a spot and listen to the music. We got there a few hours before closing and it felt more like an outdoor club! Didn't get a chance to try the food but saw a few entries and everything looked good. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in Philly.

I've come here many times. Today I watched my bartender pour my first drink of the night and fill it with sprite to the top with no alcohol. Giving her the benefit of the doubt that it was an honest mistake, I said something, and she came back with attitude saying she did pour liquor. So I asked for the pen to sign my receipt (as I was just gonna talk to a manger) and said she didn't need my tip and snatched my receipt without me signing it. I went to a manager who said it smelled like alcohol so she can't do anything about it (no smell with several people confirming it). It's one thing if I've been drinking, but this would have been my first drink of the night and I've never seen anything like this.I've worked at a restaurant for 7 years and managed it for 2, I told the manager all I'm asking for is a replacement, as I have yet to drink the drinks and she said they may have done that at my restaurant but they're not that nice here and can't do anything about it.UPDATE: the bartender who took my receipt tipped herself off of it! Will be contacting the place once they open.Follow up: the owner reached out to me to rectify the situation. He did give a genuine apology and offered a refund and drinks so I am increasing the rating to three stars.

The Staff are very attentive and prompt. Not sure if it's due to the COVID situation but food was less than desirable. Let's start with the Caesar salad with chicken it tasted like old chicken on top of the Caesar salads you get in a bag and the dressing tasted like mayo with Parmesan cheese. The wings were pretty good. The crab dip was not crabby enough and soupy. The pita bread was good. The tuna with the sea weed was meh. The menu definitely has potential but it was just like " They don't really focus on their food but now is the time to do so because they can't really do everything that they used to do. The drinks were cool. But I'm a foodie if that portion of the experience is not so impressive you gonna get a from me

The bouncers are RACIST. They refused entry to my POC friends and would not give us a reason. They wouldn't even look at their IDs. They also threaten to hurt them and continuously told them to "fuck off." They also won't get a manager. I asked them what their policy is and instead of giving me an answer, they physically ASSAULTED me and threw me out. We called the police but they couldn't do anything.

Had a great time until i asked the dj to play a song.The bouncers said I could request songs so I did so politely and the dj @officialmartinmusic was extremely rude to me saying "you don't gotta yell in my ear" as if the music wasn't on 100% volume. I made a normal request like everyone else and it that ruined my night. Don't recommend going unless you like strictly untz untz music and watered down drinks

They're are incredibly rude and have no consistency in business. I hate this place and i Do not recommend it!
