Riverside is a dive bar at its finest.Located on the river in Madisonville, this used to be a fancy pants bar many years ago. Now this building looks run down, but is a great place to hang out.Inside there is a large dance floor and area for bands. The bar is very large with a huge projection screen hanging behind it. The beer comes from ice chests, not refrigerators, and is very reasonably priced. This is not the bar where you sit and drink some fancy ass drink. this is the bar where you come with friends, drink some Bud Light and be your self.Since the bar is located on the river, the front porch is my favorite spot to sit, chat and watch the boats go by.I highly recommend this bar. Now if only I could convince my friends from new Orleans to make the drive.

Me and my husband love this place. The bartenders are amazing and the locals are the best! This is the epitome of a dive bar. The bar sits directly on the river with a great porch to enjoy the view. If you are looking for cold beer, good people, and a relaxing spot-go here!

Unless you're a smoker stay away. The cigarette smoke hits you like a ton of bricks as soon as you open the door. We couldn't even make it all the way to the bar before we just had to get out of there.

My son and I rolled in here on Easter Sunday looking for a bite to eat.Nope, no food served, but what a great set of staff and patrons.The bartender called several local restaurants seeing if anyone was open and one of the folks sipping beer at the bar walked down the street to see if an eatery around the corner was open.Yeah, this is hospitality BIG time.Bonus: Nice dog hanging out by the bar.Bonus: Friggin awesome porch.Although there was no food, these folks more than made up for it with their over the top friendship. Good times, good place.

Local dive bar located on the Tchefuncte River. There is always an interesting crowd varying from locals, bikers, boaters, etc. Decent drink prices. No food served. Every so often they have live music. Good juke box selection. Very casual atmosphere. See the best bartender in town, Kari.

Great bar & grill / southern fried seafood joint. The Bloody Mary(s...had a few) sports a cocktail onion, pickled green beans, a green olive AND pickled okra! I had the "SEEfood" platter. Fried shrimp, oysters, catfish and some alligator sausage. Way too much food for one human being! The sandwiches my fellow diners ordered were equally massive. Good food and a fun relaxed atmosphere.
