Editorial Review for River Gods – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
It's hard to say where the gods that decorate every inch of this inviting local haunt hail from. They seem Roman or Scandinavian, but probably descend from the land of garden furniture. The divine tchotchkes are great conversation starters, not that anyone here needs any help. Even on off nights, this spot is packed with friendly chatter, with half the patrons looking like they are one degree removed from a punk band, the other half looking like they've spent the afternoon gardening.

The Draw
How many bars are there in Boston where you could bring both your uncle and your most cool-savvy friend? This eclectic but unpretentious lounge manages to feel like the coolest place around without projecting a "members only" vibe. Like its schizophrenic bar menu that includes both spicy Thai curry and Irish sausage, River Gods appeals to all stripes without losing its uniqueness.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

04/27/2006 Posted by dkandpal

This place is great! Everytime I go its looks so different inside, depending on the month. The food is so delicious, my favorite is the steak sandwich (with bourisn cheese) and their french fries. Its a great place to go w. a date for dinner or meet up with friends for a drink.

Pros: French Fries, Steak Sandwich, Music+Decor

Cons: Hard to sit., No fries late night.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I've never had a bad meal at River Gods. And, the different djs every night ensures that I'm being exposed to something different and new. Besides the dedication to music, the best is the decor and the people I always seem to fall into conversation with there. The service is excellent and the staff are friendly and inviting.

Pros: Music, Staff, Fries
