This recently-updated, 2-story clubhouse offers both refined and relaxed culinary experiences and is open Wednesday through Sunday for dining. Whether you’re savoring chef-inspired cuisine, enjoying attentive, personalized service, or taking in views of breathtaking sunsets over the Manatee River, every visit is designed to be memorable. The River Club also offers a thoughtfully curated calendar of monthly special events, activities, and excursions that bring our community together in style.

The River Club's Poolside Tiki Bar delivers the perfect dose of laid back Florida charm and is open every Saturday & Sunday. Here, you can sip, snack, and socialize with friends and guests while enjoying the sunshine, the outdoor Community Pool, and the company of neighbors.
