Enjoy the southern comforts of sipping southern-style libations like a Southern Hurricane. A full bar is available at this charming old-fashioned watering hole, as are light snacks while the kitchen is open.
If you're looking for a fun bar with great food, River Roost is it!
We eneded up here every night after a day at the parks. Yehaa Bob is fantastic and brings a lot of energy and fun, usually starts about 8:30pm on Wednesdays thru Saturdays(but you can check the disney app to double check!)
Our bartender Wes was fantastic! He provided great service and we really enjoyed getting to talk with him.
Can't recommend this bar enough!

Stayed here for the 10th time. The bartender Miguel who I assume is new? Sucks big time. This bar is meant for bartenders who like people. Miguel had such an attitude. Monday night September 8th. Seriously Disney and riverside , that guy is not it. Go get a job at a local bar if you hate your life Miguel.

We went to see Yeehaw Bob. Just the most fun! A really great show with fantastic energy for 90 minutes solid. Great for kids and adults alike. Good selection of drinks, reasonable bar snack offerings. Go for the show. You won’t be disappointed!

One of the best entertainment values for theentire family. The River Roost is the New Orleans themed bar inside Port Orleans Riverside resort. There is an amazing entertainer there, Yeeha Bob, that performs on certain nights. Bob is a very unique showman who plays piano, sings, carries on with all kinds of shenanigans, and engages his audience in participation in a masterful way. It is good clean and so much fun for all ages. There is no charge for his shows. However, since River Roost is a bar, customers can buy drinks and bar snacks, but there is no pressure if they choose to buy nothing. We did partake in drinks and loved the lineup of Albita draught beers. The Turbo Dog Brown Ale was amazing. Yeeha Bob's show was so good, we want to see him again. My tip is to arrive early, because the number of tables and barstools is limited and the first Yeeha Bob show of the evening fills up.

Hidden gem alert: please don’t change that!
Bar transitions between the lobby and the food services and features some good beers and amazing entertainment on weekend nights.
We come back here often just to see “Yeehaw” Bob Jackson play and entertainment while we have a drink.
So much fun! :)
