There’s something about neighborhood taverns that just feels like an extension of home. A place where everything is familiar, your order is memorized, and you feel like one of the family when you walk in. That’s exactly the vibe at Rivershack Tavern, a charming restaurant just on the outskirts of New Orleans.

You’ll find Rivershack Tavern tucked away along historic River Road in Jefferson, just outside of New Orleans.

You can’t miss the building, decorated with vibrant, hand-painted advertisements that date back to the 1940s. The century-old building has seen many businesses come and go over the years, including a grocery store, a pharmacy, a package liquor store, and more.
From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported through time.
