Located in the historic Atlas Mill on the Fox River, River Tyme Bistro features a beautiful outdoor seating area on our deck overlooking the dam and the magnificent river. For the winter, you are welcome to sit inside and look at the deck thru the window, or sit outside in your snowsuit – we highly encourage both!
There are 2 very separate dining areas that we are seating indoors – nine tables in the event space and five in the bistro! Plenty of space between you and the next guest! Make a reservation for 1.5 hour time block. If no one is waiting, stay for 3 …. or 4 …..

Owned and operated by the people behind Fox River Tours, River Tyme Bistro is the sister to the river boats River Tyme, based in De Pere, and River Tyme Too, based in Appleton. Boat season in Wisconsin is only six months long, but River Tyme Bistro is our land vessel—allowing guests to enjoy the Fox River all year thru!
Be sure to like us on Facebook and follow along with everything we are up to at our Bistro and on our boats!
Special Events
RIVER TYME BISTRO HOSTED EVENTS
Ok, it’s time — and we have the space — to do some events that are socially distanced, but can still bring us together!
First and foremost is River Song – live and local music each week! This fills our Dam Event Space with melodies. Reserve a spot in the room with the musicians by booking River Song. Reserve a spot in the Bistro space, where you will still be able to hear the music a bit, just not see too well by booking Bistro Socially Distanced Dining.
Either way, please plan on having some food and drink with us while you listen 🙂
Join us for Movie Tyme beginning on April 14th at 6 PM for a screening of Charade, starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. River Song has been a great way to gather together by the river, we thought a movie would be a great chance as well! Give us a call or book online to reserve your table!
