The Rivers

$$$

A casual place to hoist a few pints while dining on hearty pub fare, the Rivers is popular with Gisborne locals. Ignore the modern exterior—inside stained-glass partitions separate the dining alcoves, which have brass chandeliers, dark woodwork, and green leather upholstery. Guinness pie with creamy mashed potatoes and chicken calypso topped with a tangy mango sauce are two favorite dishes that are always on the menu. Also on offer are platters and seasonal specials.
