River City Brewing Co.

Housed in Downtown Plaza for more than a decade, River City Brewing Co. courts well-heeled diners, as well as shoppers in jeans and T-shirts, with classic American favorites. Burgers, and fish and chips are favorites for lunch, and baby back ribs and pot roast lure the dinner crowd. Though the knife-and-fork dishes tend to be pricey, the food is exceptionally good. And the ales? They’ll make you forget why you went to the mall.
