So disappointing! Rileys used to be an awesome breakfast place where the portions were large, food was tasty and service good. Beware! This is not the case anymore. Service is horrible and the food no better. After waiting over 30 minutes, our food arrived and the sausage was burnt, eggs were runny and the potatoes were cold. The waitress didn't seem to care and seemed bothered by the feedback. I'd skip this place if I were you. read more

Excellent food and drinks. Saturday breakfast is a great deal and $2 Mimosa or Bloody Mary with breakfast purchase! The side patio is awesome in the summer! Need to check this place out. read more

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

REALLY crappy service. We came in and sat at the bar around 7pm. Lots of servers and bartenders, but after 15 minutes they still hadn't said a word to us. The old bartender saw me several times, but never came over. When he finally came over he had a casual conversation with another worker for a few minutes behind the bar and then walked away again. Finally we left and went to Bakn down the street which was amazing. One star because I got to eat good food eventually, just not here. read more

Totally enjoy this lil neighborhood pub....ESPECIALLY for breakfast Saturday mornings. Such a great atmosphere, delicious, inexpensive food and drink. Can't beat the $2 mimosas and bloody Mary's til noon! New management awesome, girls at bear great fun and attentive on Saturdays. Can't say the same about the afternoon bartender. Have had their burgers (yum) and Reuben's (wow!!). Will definitely be back to this lil place! read more

The food and service are terrible! This is the second time we have attempted to dine here. The first time we sat in the outdoor garage area and the waitress brought us a beer list and never returned. We left and gave our money to another establishment. This evening we were once again greeted with poor service. We were there early enough to not have to deal with a crowd, yet waiting for the service and it be unfriendly was uncalled for. One of my friend ms ordered a margarita and it was absolutely disgusting and was sent back. Another friend ordered the potato skins and they were similar to frozen ones you get from a grocery store. She sent them back. My fiancé ordered a burger with provolone and was charged $1 for the provolone, yet his burger had American cheese on it. My friend got the shepherds pie and said the mashed potatoes were out of a box and ruined flavor. I had the cod cake sandwich and it was over fried. We won't be back. read more

The best pub around! The inside is so cool looking and gives such a cozy vibe. The outdoor area is fantastic, even in winter. Plenty of TVs, live music, delicious food and an awesome brunch special ($2 mimosas and bloody Mary's). A must check out! read more

Over the last 12 months my wife, sister and brother in law have made it a point to visit your business and we have become regulars at your establish, having a good time, enjoying your food, entertainment and honestly spending a lot of money. We have also turned your business back on for many of our friends and family over the past 6 months. This evening 4/19/2013 (from 5pm-6:30 pm) we came back to our favorite Irish Pub, our first time back since Saint Patrick's Day. We were having a great time when we were asked by a waitress with blond hair right before our meals were to be delivered if she could move our table down. Without explaining the true intentions she started separating our tables. We were sitting at two, two tops, the four of us. At first we didn't ask why but soon after were told that the intention was to put the four of us around a single two top and that this was policy. You're were not even at full capacity! So I said no. After we got our meals, without our coleslaws, the service of your staff became distant and we received looks from the blond that were not complimentary. On leaving is when we confronted her with our dissatisfaction, one in our party could not even eat his meal and asked for it to go. I have been in the restaurant business for 30 years, and for all the reasons we came back as customers to the new Pour House, is now why we will not return. Our business is a word of mouth business, and I plan to retract my support with many that I have previously made "glowing" recommendations to. I guess now that your business is thriving again under your ownership that you can afford to run business off with the practice of trying to use every chair possible, and making your customers uncomfortable. If this is not your intention as an owner, please feel free to explain. read more

I think we found a place who has better Rubens then Big Jim's. And that's saying something.

Returned after nearly 15 to 20 years. Not the same as when it was Murphy's but still a very good Irish pub. Worth going to. Good service and proper Guinness. read more

It's an extension of your own home. The folks that work there are always welcoming with a smile, even John the bartender. I love the LIVE music daily...you never know when someone will start playing the piano or guitar or just start singing. In Irish fashion there's plenty of stories and jokes being shared. Everything that comes out of the kitchen is delicious and have tried just about all of it. A must try, again and again!!! read more

We went for the fish as Riley's is in the final 4 of the Pittsburgh Fish Fry brackets. Sadly, I was very disappointed in the food and I'm amazed they are even in the running for best fish in town. The lunch was ordinary, over-breaded fish, ordinary big fries (that were warm, not hot) and a fairly small draft selection. I will say, the gravy for the fries was killer- maybe among the top 10 I've had but that wasn't enough to salvage the lunch. Service was pretty slow for a lunch time. Riley's looks like a great neighborhood pub - I'd probably stop back in for a beer when I'm in town but will skip the food. read more

Great spot...good bar food AWESOME service. Little gem Carnegie with outside space and live music

Been going here practically my entire life with my family. As others have said, owners have changed a few times. While we've always enjoyed coming here over the years but the current owners should be called out for making it extra special. Expanded the outdoor dining area and just overall have made great improvements while keeping everything in line with the history and spirit of what the Pour House is....a great local pub with good food, great music and friendly and fun customers and staff. read more

We always meant to stop in here when it was under the previous ownership but we never made it so I can't really comment on the changes. I can say that this a great little pub if you like pub grub, great service, and fantastic live music in a small space. We were going to just stop in for a pint, however, we saw and smelled some great food coming out of the kitchen so we ordered off the small menu. The fish and chips were lovely. The batter was nice and crispy and the fish was flavorful and not mish-mush. My husband had the Reuben with a side of the colcannon. Heaven! Yes it is simple food, but it is done very very well. Then we were lucky enough to be there when Sean McClorey started his set for the night. I love the fact that he played a wee bit of traditional Irish songs, but also played songs by Irish artists I wouldn't hear anywhere else. We will be back to try to the lamb stew and the cod cakes! read more

Great place. Would have given it four stars were it not for the awful "authentic" Irish music, replete with bagpipes, on a Friday night. Sign on the door said the music was 8-12, yet it's 12:33 as I type and they're still playing. Can't anyone have a drink in peace anymore? read more

Nice atmosphere. Friendly but not so attentive service, but not horrible. Had wings and the Shepherds pie. Wings were undercooked and very chewy. Shepherd's pie was just ok. Not what is expect from authentic Irish but not disgusting. Ok place could be a lot better. Live music was also just ok... read more

Best brunch in Pittsburgh. Food-wise and price-wise. Check it out - but don't make it so popular we can't get a table for eight in the back corner anymore. :) read more

Was there this past Saturday for dinner and live music. Arrived around 6:30 and found a seat inside. It was crowded and our waitress who was also bartending told us before we ordered it would be 45 minutes to an hour because they are backed up. We had no problem with that and had some drinks while we waited. Food arrived and it was great, wings and fried shrimp dinner, very good. This is when the problem started. We met some friends on the deck to listen to a bad, and the service was non existent. We waited up to 30 minutes to have somebody take our order and another 15-20 for the drinks to arrive. If they were short staffed, let us know...we would have gone back into the bar for the drinks. Band played from 8 to 12, and our server came around 2 times. Our table was not the only one having issues, it seems like everybody was. After awhile we just go our own drinks. When the bill came, she just threw it on our table and walked away. When she came back, we explained that the bill was incorrect, nobody at our table ordered any Guinness, she grabbed the bill out of my hand and walked away....she came back in about 3 minutes and just tossed the change on the table and walked away. The 3 starts are for the service on the deck. The food and service inside were great. read more

Friendly neighborhood place. The food is good, the atmosphere is fun and the prices are reasonable. They have an outdoor area with live music, which seems to draw a decent amount of people. When it's cold outside they have a tent up with heaters, so the space is still enjoyable. read more

We visit Riley's quite frequently and the food is always great and the ambiance is of the utmost...since enclosing the patio we find seating on the busiest of nites... the entertainment keeps the place hopping and the staff try their best to make your visit an enjoyable time...Saturday breakfast is the BEST!!! read more

Have only visited once so far, EXCELLENT!!! Live music, great atmosphere, a lot of regulars and fantastic food! Will certainly go back, really a great vibe and place to go. read more

GREAT, GREAT, Neighborhood Irish Pub. They do great live music, and pour excellent Guinness. The owner is an excellent host. Food is quality pub food. I just love coming to Riley's Pour House whenever I get the chance. read more

I had been here maybe twice right after they opened and everything was always adequate. A place you go for a good tome with OK food and atmosphere. Nothing special and certainly not worth a drive from more than 15 minutes away. However the last two times we visited (since late June) it was miserable. No one likes to be at an establishment that over serves, or serves people who are already clearly intoxicated. But I guess a buck is a buck. However that does not make for a good time for anyone else in the vicinity of the overly drunk person(s). I lived in County Cork fro almost 9 years and once you live in Ireland no stateside food compares so I'll not comment on the food. Usually the service is adequate, it can get busy and loud so the servers do a good job keeping up but when you go to a pub expectations are lowered, this isn't the type of service you'd expect from a place that has a higher price point. Most people that frequent a pb know this and are ok with it, still the servers do a good job. I've only had two interactions with a male bartender and neither were good. So overall, based on public safety I have to rate this a 1 star. read more

Went to Riley's for the first time for a business lunch on a Friday recently. The waitress suggested the fish and shrimp special, so I gave it a shot. Fish was great. A large, fresh-tasting filet in a crunchy beer batter coating. The shrimp couldn't have been worse. It was the same, flat, pre-frozen, pre-crumb breaded junk you would get in the supermarket or in the buffet line at a Golden Corral. Surprised they would serve something like that with everything else on the menu looking fresh made. Other than that, service was attentive but not particularly friendly. The other odd thing was the piano player. Not a bad idea during happy hours or in the late evening to keep things lively, but during the day it was loud and distracting when trying to keep a conversation. read more

Good beer, good food. Try the Reuben!, awesome atmosphere! Definitely worth the visit!

Today, I believe I received the worst service, I received in the 63 years of my life. I and a friend of my arrived at the same time as another couple and sat that the only seats that were opened which happen to be at the bar next to the same other couple. We were asked what we would like to drink and then the server asked the other couple what they would like to drink. The server then severed us our drinks and the other couple their drinks. She then took the other couple's order and walked right past me and my friend and never asked with we were ready to order or not. Seven minutes later the other couple received their order (food) and we were still waiting to be asked what we wanted to order. I waited an addition ten minutes and after the failure of The Poor House to take my order for breakfast, I pushed my paper placemat to the front of the bar and told the drink maker at the bar that I no longer wish to order from a restaurant that fails to service their customers. My servicer finally arrived to take my order which happened to be 37 minutes after I received my first drink. She asked if we wanted anything to eat. She stated the she was working outside and was very busy and our food was on her. I told her that that the other waitress may have informed her that I was upset but they also failed to inform her that I was no longer interested in ordering from a restaurant that treated their customers the way she did. I started to tell her that she had no problem taking the order of the couple next to me but she did not hear this since she walked away from me before we finished our conversation. 45 minutes to take my order in unacceptable. I will never waist my morning in a place with such poor service. At least we know where their name comes from. Pour House or is it Poor Service!!! read more

i was in this place last friday and the way the male bartender swears and puts down the other employees is uncalled for not a place you can enjoy a meal or drink with that sort of behavior but other than that food is good read more
