170+ years of stories, good times and cold b**rs 🍻
Dating back to the early days of Wagga Wagga, The Riv has been a local meeting place for generations.
From its beginnings as the Hope Inn, to becoming the Bridge Hotel and eventually the Riverina Hotel we know today!
And now, we’ve got another chapter to add to the story we’re officially finalists for Best Cheap Eats Meal at this year’s AHA Awards, recognising our lunch specials, and our very own Brian is also a finalist for Regional Chef of the Year! 👨🍳🏆
We’re pretty proud of this one. Come in, grab a drink, settle in for a meal and make a few stories of your own. 🍻
