Founded by Scott Schleupner, Riverside Restaurant Group is built on more than a decade of experience serving Maryland communities with food, drinks, and spaces designed to bring people together. Scott began his journey in Annapolis before moving to Baltimore in 2012, where he opened his first city restaurant in the heart of Federal Hill’s busy cross-street district. For eight years, that location served locals, visitors, and regulars alike—laying the foundation for what the group would become.
As the community evolved, so did the vision. Scott shifted focus toward a more neighborhood-driven experience, planting roots in Riverside—where connection, consistency, and community come first. That vision led to the opening of Riverside Taphouse in March 2020, followed by Riverside Cantina in August 2025, both created to serve the neighborhood in different but complementary ways.
Riverside Restaurant Group believes in restaurants built for the neighborhood. From family-friendly pub fare and events at the Taphouse to authentic Mexican cuisine, elevated cocktails, and premium tequila selections at the Cantina, each concept is crafted with quality, care, and the Riverside community at its core.
