Our Story by the River
On the River Tavern at 600 Fishermans Road, St. Joseph, MI started with a love for community, good food, and the river. Built on the site of a historic 1853 fishing station, it grew into a gathering spot where locals and visitors could share classic pub fare, fresh drinks, and live music. What began as a riverside hangout is now a place where people come to connect and enjoy the river life.
Why We’re Different
At On the River Tavern & Mo’s Cigar Bar, you’ll find more than food and drinks—it’s the full riverside experience. Enjoy live music on the patio and the unique charm of Mo’s Cigar Bar with its walk-in humidor, lounge, and cigar-friendly river patio. From craft beer and cocktails to scratch-made fare, river views, and friendly faces, we’re a St. Joseph destination where history, community, and good times come together.
Classic Pub Fare and Local Flavor
We serve scratch-made soups like our famous New England Clam Chowder, meaty wings, perch sandwiches, and juicy burgers. With 16 beers on tap and a full bar, there’s something for everyone. Pull up your boat, relax on the deck, and watch the river flow. Every dish and drink reflects our mission to keep things simple, fresh, and welcoming for all who stop by.
