About Us

Welcome to Riva, West Haven’s new home for coastal flavor and good times. Set right on the water, Riva brings together everything you love about shoreline living — cold drinks, great food, live music, and unforgettable sunsets.


From our beer garden and tiki bar to our brick oven pizza and ice cream shop, every part of Riva is designed for connection and celebration. Whether you’re catching a show by the fire pits, grabbing a drink at the bar, or hosting a private gathering, there’s always something happening by the coast.


We’re a first come, first served gathering space with a relaxed, walk-up atmosphere — though we happily accommodate reservations for larger events and special occasions. Families are welcome, with Sandy Point Creamery offering a fun, alcohol-free space for all ages, while Riva’s main areas are 21+ or accompanied by a parent.


During the summer months, the energy turns up with live entertainment throughout the week, occasional cover charges, and the kind of beachside buzz you can only find here.


Whether you come for the music, the menu, or the moment, Riva invites you to live by the coast, enjoy the fire, and make memories that last long after the tide rolls out.
