The doors are open again at what used to be called the San Marcos River Pub and Grill. Tyler Williamson tells us more in this Bobcat Update.

The River Pub was a favorite for locals and the Texas State community until it closed in 2013 for extensive remodeling. Making necessary changes took much longer than anticipated and further complicated by massive flooding along the San Marcos River. The job is now complete. The restaurant has reopened and been renamed. It's now called Ivar's River Pub in honor of longtime owner, Ivar Gunnarson. Ivar, who was a World War II pilot for the Canadian Air Force, ran a billboard company for many years in his adopted hometown of San Marcos. And then he owned the bar that now bears his name until he passed away twelve years ago. Curtis Gunnarson is Ivar's son.

While some things have changed, the Pub has brought back some fan-favorite dishes that older customers might remember.
