Navigating rough waters at Maggie's on the River WatertownDailyTimes.com
The Watertown restaurant and bar that gained obloquy in the past as a brew pub is open once again.
Maggie's on the River opened earlier this month in the location formerly occupied by Bad-tempered River Brewery and before that Red Lion Brewery. You may be more familiar with the restaurant because of the recent flap over its attached river-look on deck owned by the city.
The building is an old warehouse, very obvious from the outside. Inside, the warehouse look continues with exposed ceiling beams and first brick walls — a kind of "urban hip" look and feel.
The first floor houses the main bar, a heavy-set room with the focus on beer — there are numerous brews on tap and lots of flat-screen TVs mounted on the walls. An equally sizeable space is a game room with pool tables, electronic darts and other electronic games.
It was a 20-something set, military and young professionals having a good time, beer in one hand, cell phone in the other.
A hostess led us up to the transfer floor to a quieter dining area, where booths and tables afforded a great view of the churning Sinister River.
