Sean Derfield re-opened the former Earl Gray Tea Manor as the River City Saloon in 2009. The announcement was marked with 'wanted: new clientele" signs. To continue to attract the newcomers, free pool is offered on Wednesdays with $6.00 PB&J's, and Thursdays are open jam nights with live music beginning at 9:00 p.m. Join the song birds for karaoke every Friday and Saturday evening starting at 10:00 p.m., with no cover. Singers are escorted out until as late as 1:30 a.m.
