This place is unsanitary, we found black mold on the rims of the ketchup bottles which they have been pouring ketchup into for 10 Years without ever changing. Aside from the disgusting conditions the food is all frozen crap. Avoid this horrible place at all costs. read more

I had fish and chips and they were fantastic. Wait staff was friendly and attentive to the outsider. Also tried the provolone sticks as well and they were also very good. If you're in the area stop by this little place and don't mind the piano player, he's just having a good time. read more

Riley's Pour House - Fish and chips - Irish Pub Near Me - Carnegie, Pennsylvania

See all

Took 20-25 minutes to get a menu after we got up from our table and went to the bar for a drink. Never received our appetizer or our salads. Waited 20-25 minutes AFTER finishing our meals (which at least came out hot), for our check and had to go up and get it. Not impressed. Prices are reasonable, food quality is great... but without good service, none of that means a thing. Felt like an nuisance instead of a welcome guest. read more

Riley's has a fantastic Sunday brunch! They did a great job especially during Covid restrictions. They have alot of outdoor space! Wonderful Carnegie treasure! read more

One of the best, and only, authentic "pubs" in the 'Burgh. Unlike most places where the main attraction is a wall full of video screens....Rileys features live music as the drawing card..nearly every night of the week. It is frequently, raucously SRO. The music is very entertaining...small combos, guitars/vocals/pianos. Many examples of Irish cooking... uncomplicated menu that is just what the "pubbers" called for. Harp and Guiness on draft plus several Irish whiskeys to sip. Get ready for a really strange feature....the owner talks to the patrons! And, the patrons talk to one another! Also the crowd is multi generational...which make s for interesting conversations among the crowd...ya know? ..like an authentic pub. It is not like most of the other bars that are simply "Chuckie Cheese" (videos, games) with alcohol. Go there, any night of the week, you will enjoy it (including the resident quasi-curmudgeon bartender) !! Their New Years party was awesome., on the afternoon of De 31 (midnight Dublin time). read more

As far as the Irish pubs in the Pittsburgh area go Riley's is a pretty solid choice. Their fish sandwich is bangin' and the prices are all really reasonable. They recently did a remodel of the outdoor area and I'm not sure I'm a huge fan, but I'm willing to give it a chance. The service can also be spotty but would you really want anything else from an Irish bar? ;) Check it out for yourself - it's a great Carnegie staple! read more

Just looking at these pictures makes me home sick. I love this place. I was a regular here many years ago. It has changed hands through the years - but the latest owners have much to be proud of. Outstanding Irish music, food and drinks. The Ruben Roll is worth the 600 mile road trip. LOL. When I am in Pittsburgh, I try to stop in. read more

I honestly don't know why I don't go here more often! The Pour House, despite changing owners, is just a small traditional Irish pub. Good food and good company when you are there : ) Also, there are a lot of entertaining local musicians that play there in the evening. read more

Great little pub. I had a great Reuben. My wife had the fish and chips. The fish breading was a little too thick, and but the fish itself was great. This place has great atmosphere, huge portions, fair prices, and they pour a solid pint. What else can you ask for? read more

The establishment is quite small, unless you go sit in the tent in the back. Walking to the tent is like walking into Noah's Ark at Kennywood..... Kinda creepy, but eventually you get there. It was packed when we went in, which is always a good thing. We ordered food and it seemed to take a really long time to come out, but it was good, so it was worth it. Drinks weren't expensive, which is nice. Bartenders are friendly enough. Live entertainment is always a plus, but it was kind of awful at the same time. Not sure if we will be back, but not ruling it out! read more

I am pleasantly surprised by the new Pour House. The walls aren't sticky anymore, tables aren't old and don't rock, and everything has a refreshing paint job. The place looks amazing, and with no more smoking, smells good too. As for the food they still have the traditional stuff, and of course the grilled cheese is still yummy (if you get it, ask for all three cheeses). One disappointment is that they stopped selling potato pancakes which was the reason I used to go to the old Pour House, but the new menu items are refreshing. I happened to be there when they were serving a shrimp and cucumber gazpacho, and it was excellent. Also, it seemed like they added some local beer to the taps. When I was there, they had Rooney Beer and Duquesne Pilsner on tap, along with all the traditional Irish beers. One better change is the serving staff. Gone are the surely guys who looked at you funny when you asked for a napkin; in there place are young, smiling girls. The changes to the Pour House definitely make this place a must-go, but I still miss the potato pancakes. :( read more

You. Guys trust me right. Great bar food and wings. The Reuben is he best in Pghv not classiest place but clients love the home Pittsburgh feel read more

Always a good time at Riley's. Open mic on Wednesday's is fun. Reuben egg rolls are really good!

If you are looking for a traditional Irish pub in the city of Pittsburgh look no further. Riley's has real Irish food, real Irish drinks, and real Irish atmosphere. Plus the back deck is nice. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Beautiful outdoor patio. Very enjoyable live music. One of the best Reubens I've ever had. Reasonably priced drinks. I look forward to my next visit here. read more

Wonderful spot for brunch! The food is delicious and the portions are huge! Service was good and our waitress was very nice and made sure we were taken care of. The best part is they have bloody Mary's and mimosas for $2. Highly recommended! read more

had dinner with a co-worker here Tuesday 1/17/17 and had a good time....had there T-bone Tuesday dinner and it was excellent !.... the svc. was good and professional......they had a couple doing lite jazz and that was enjoyable......this place looks like it prob. rocks on the weekends.....next time I get to town I will def. return read more

Love this place. Great neighborhood bar, I especially love when they have live music. I really like the soup... Good pub food all around. It can get crowded especially around holidays, but the new garden outside has helped during warmer months. Definitely a local place to check out. read more

Casual food, chill atmosphere and very friendly staff..... What more could you really want? Outdoor patio is nice and they generally have live music of some type read more

Heard good things so we ordered takeout... The food was very disappointing, borderline gross. Wings were way overcooked with the BBQ sauce sporadically squirted on afterwards, the fish sandwich was rubbery, bland, and also overcooked, and the pub fries that just had some gravy on top cost $8. The gravy was good tho, so there's that. Might try again, but probably not. read more

I try to frequent here a few times a month. Very affordable high quality food, great cold beer, great musicians, and a beautiful venue. Every time I have been there it has been packed! For example: Recently I was there on a Tuesday and the whole place was jamming for the Jazz Happy Hour. My advice, get there early. Have a nice cold beer, and be patient. It sometimes takes a while to get the food. But it is always worth it. read more

Your band in back room on 2/28 sucked beyond comprehension. Just play some popular music for Pete's sake. Absolutely atrocious. We're all now dumber for listening to this absolute trash. read more

I'm so disappointed at all of the changes. I LOVED the way the Pour House was - especially the authentic Irish menu which has now been stripped down. I miss the colcannon and the Guinness Stew - which I could get as a combo plate. This was one of my favoirte places in Pittsburgh and now - it's just another Claddagh. read more

Riley's Pour House is the shining stone of Carnegie. This is what you expect from a small town bar. Drinks are straight forward nothing crazy just easy drinks that everyone knows. The food is great, classic Irish dishes executed perfectly. The Irish Stew and Colcannon are delicious. Do not get deterred by the small space, it is exactly what you want when going to a local bar. read more

Consistently good food. Great owners. There's really nothing quite like Riley's. I strongly recommend this place.

Great place for lunch. In the evening it can be crowded and the staff at times are slow to get to you. I for sure recommend it for lunch time though. read more

Small, quaint, fun, and delicious. Prices are more than fair, staff is attentive and food is quite good. Great for a quick lunch or for a pint. Later in the evenings it gets packed but they have outside seating which has now been enclosed. Parking can be a challenge and may require a small walk from the public parking area down the street. Do yourself a favor and stop in. I recommend the Reuben read more

I have stopped in for dinner two times. The food is delicious an very reasonably priced. The first time we went I had a steak which was delicious and cooked exactly as I asked. My wife got colcannon and ruben egg rolls. Both of us left stuffed and brought left over home with us. The second time we went I had the fried cod and my wife once again got the ruben egg rolls which were once again delicious. The service can be a little slow so don't go there if you are in a rush but all the staff is very friendly and they do come and check on you to make sure everything is OK. Sadly, they don't have a lot of vegetarian options, and I am now a vegetarian so our visits may not be as frequent as they would be if I still ate meat unless I see some more vegetarian options. read more

This is our new favorite place. The drinks and food are always spot on. The waitresses are super relatable and sweet. I have no complaints whatsoever. My boyfriend and i prefer to get the mussels in white wine sauce every time we come because they are just OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious. On top of all that, the live music is always a treat & the musicians always make it a point to interact with the audience & most songs are (appropriately)Irish drinking songs. If you're looking for a new place to try or just a little dive to check out, THIS will be your new favorite. It's a blast. read more

Went with a group of friends. Staff was friendly and prompt. I would highly recommend stopping in for a drink and quick bite if you are looking in the area. read more

Riley's Pour House delivered an interesting experience to my family and I. The casual setting of the tent, located behind the building, allowed for a relaxed meal. The stage and speakers certainly added a question of whether live music would be enjoyable, for the proximity in the tent is quite tight. Unfortunately, no music was scheduled the night I attended. A visit to the restaurant with a modest group of friends would create a memorable encounter. However, I believe that the the inside seating holds a more family-friendly atmosphere compared to under the tent. I ordered the 10 ounce steak; it held to expectations. The meal, worth 12 dollars, was presented on a slice of bread with home fries on the side. The steak was fatty and well seasoned. All in all a solid meal considering the price. The service was adequate as well. Initially we were handed plastic utensils, but eventually the hostess saw me struggling with me struggling with my dinner and swapped my plastic with the appropriate metal silverware. Overall, Riley's Pour House was a decent visit; it has great prices and atmosphere along with Irish traditions scattered in every discipline of the service. No it is not the best outing I've visited, but the overall experience made a good impression and showed great potential for a night with ones friends. Chris Kefalos read more

Decent food, great atmosphere. Service was slow but it was a Saturday night with live music.

Tried this place for the first time tonight...great place. Live music (pianist and trumpet player) and the reuben was hands down the best in Pittsburgh. Sweet potato fries were pretty decent also. I only rated it as 4 stars because our waitress was a little inattentive at times. Other than that, overall good experience. Prices were quite fair for the quality and amount of food you get. read more

Best Ruben in Pittsburgh!! Such a beautiful pub. Nothing better than a Irish pub!! Great place to go and have a good time. The food is awesome!! Try the sweet potato fries too. Delicious! read more

Ate here with my wife. The food was really good. They recently bought the lot next door and transformed it into an awesome outdoor pavilion area with live entertainment all the time. This part of Carnegie is turning into a great area to hang out. If you are looking for somewhere to meet with friends and have a few beers, and maybe order some quality bar food while being serenaded by a live band then look no further. read more

Best pub south of Pittsburgh. By far. Food is always great and the service has been spectacular. It's just the best kind of place. You'll see what I mean when you go there. Friendly, casual, great menu, everything you want in a neighborhood pub. read more

I remember eating at this place prior to the name change years ago and the colcannon being excellent, so I stopped in to grab something to eat and to have a couple of drinks. When you walk in it's a long bar with tables on the other side and everything is decorated to fit the Irish theme. They also have a giant outside area. It was early in the evening and there were people there but nowhere near crowded. I went and sat the bar and waited and waited and waited. I watched as the bartenders had conversations with themselves and what appeared to be their regulars. I sat and watched as the bartenders would serve the regulars but do their best to ignore me sitting at the bar. At one point the older guy that was "bar tending" literally had his back turned to me as he carried on a conversation. I thought alright at least when he turns around he will be forced to acknowledge me, nope he just kept on pretending like I wasn't there. That was enough for me and I left. I was really hoping this was an episode of bar rescue just so people could see how ridiculous this place was, but no such luck. I get it you just want to serve and cater to your regulars, no problem I won't be back. read more

We like to take out of town guests here on a weekend when there is live music. Everyone always has a good time.

I've been to Riley's a few times and it's always great service and delicious food. I really enjoy the Irish atmosphere.

Packed on a Friday night! The outdoor section was okay during the winter, still pretty warm... a little empty and music was unnecessarily loud. The demographic seemed to be mostly 40s and up. Only about 15-20 young adults there that night. Reasonably priced drink and food. read more
