PIVO RIVERPLACE
About us
Christy and Ryan came together in early 2022 with varied backgrounds and a common goal: to create a unique and comfortable space to enjoy friends, family, good food and fabulous beer!
Ryan's inspiration came in a small hospuda (pub) near the center of Prague in the Spring of 1989. Ryan was a clueless college student wandering around this still communist country - oblivious to the o quality of Central European beers. His first taste was glorious - light yet rich and smooth. Here at Pivo Riverplace we aspire to come as close to real Central European lagers and pilsners. Oh, and did we mention "Pivo" means beer in 78 languages?
Christy comes with 30 years of industry experience, a passion for the industry and a love of great food and wine. Christy's goal is to create a space where customers feel welcome & valued and staff is having a blast. Hospitality runs thick in her veins and she's excited to offer this collaboration in the most beautiful spot in the city!
The second part of our name, "Riverplace" alludes to our spectacular location. Pivo Riverplace overlooks historic Main Street, the oldest street in Minneapolis. Our covered patio overlooks cobblestones and beautiful views of the Mississippi River and Nicollet Island. The Minneapolis riverfront is a treasure of beautiful bridges, parks, and trails - with Pivo Riverplace the perfect break after a beautiful walk or ride.
Speaking of beauty, Pivo Riverplace aspires to pair Art Nouveau elegance with a casual neighborhood pub atmosphere. Czech out our classic 19th century Alphonse Mucha Art Nouveau throughout
