“If there’s one experience everyone takes away from a visit to The River Inn, it’s the opportunity to lounge in one of the oversized Adirondack chairs perched in the river. There’s nothing like soaking one’s feet in the cool, swirling waters of the Big Sur River, hearing the breeze ruffle the overhead trees and sipping an excellent beverage—perhaps one of the bar’s signature Bloody Marys.

It’s rare that a business is so deeply entwined with the lore and history of its place. For 90 years, The River Inn has become as deeply associated with Big Sur as its iconic coastline and redwood forests. It will be exciting to see how it evolves over the next 90 years.”
