Classic & creative cocktails, as well as a nice selection of spirits, wine & beer for those who imbibe
A deck overlooking the beautiful Fox River with seating for 36

On top of that, we have:

Event space, for up to 120, waiting to be rented for your private parties, work functions, or community meetings
Regularly scheduled Bistro-organized happenings to encourage you to come to the River more often

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 long!

Event Space Rental

What do you do when you have a large room, right on the river, with a stunning view of the Fox cascading over the dam? Add to that a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere: natural tones, hand-made reclaimed wood and metal tables, bespoke pottery dishes, a great many really tasty recipes, and the desire to bring people to the river? Why …. start an event space, of course!! All this can be yours – just ask! The event space can accommodate up to 120 people.

River Tyme Bistro was sharing a COVID-19 Update.

Please note that we are suspending reservations and service for the next bit while we wait to find out the results of one employee's COVID test. This employee was coughing at work, thinking it was an asthma attack. We sent the employee home, she called into the nurse and was told to get a test. We want to be very careful during this time, and so have made this difficult decision. We will update as soon as we know anything.

Specifics: Employee last worked the morning of 8/13. She was wearing a mask at all times and washed her hands regularly. She was coughing in the employee break area when asked to go home. She received the test that evening and was told it would take 48 hours to find out the results. No other employees are exhibiting any symptoms.

Starting immediately, we will be questioning each employee daily, prior to work, about their health and taking temperatures. We have, and will continue to be diligent on staff wearing masks and sanitizing tables and menus between uses. We take your safety very seriously, and want you to be so assured of that, that you are able to relax while you are on our patio, feeling like you have had an hour or so of a mini-get away, just watching and listening to the river.

We will keep you updated. Thank you -
