If you're looking for causal Irish food in a fun atmosphere, this is the place to go. It's especially fun during the warmer months when you can enjoy the outdoor patio. The actual interior of the restaurant isn't huge, but they have 2 outdoor areas with a lot of seating. There is often live music here, which is awesome when you're seated outside. It gets a bit loud inside, so if you're trying to have a conversation, it's a little difficult when there is live music. The food is really good-I ordered the fried shrimp dinner, and the shrimp was super crispy and delicious. They have a nice drink menu, and happy hour is from 5-7 on weekdays. Be sure to check out their IG page for all of their food and drink specials, as well as special events and music. They have a lot going on here. read more

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

What a cool Irish pub. Plenty of personality and such warm feeling inside. I was pleasantly surprised with the prices since it "wasn't" happy hour at the time of my visits.. drafts were affordable and not overpriced. The service was good while dining in. Friday night 7:30.. . allow extra time for parking.. was a little challenging (off street parking) I can't wait to visit again.. thanks Riley's Pour House! read more

Riley's Pour House - just love this.. you know your at an Irish pub if potatoes are included in the fresh veggie platter.. - Irish Pub Near Me - Carnegie, Pennsylvania

I've been coming to the Pour House for over 20 years. It's crazy to see how much it has taken off since it changed to Riley's. My heart is still with the tiny indoor area - I have tons of good memories there. The outdoor space is huge and they always have bands. Their menu has recently expanded as well. I typically get the fish and chips or the Rueben, but I went there last weekend and my friends ordered burgers and really enjoyed them. I do feel like in recent years it has become more of a regular bar - I miss when it was purely Irish music and Irish fare mainly because it made the place different and special. read more

What's not to love about a local bar and restaurant that has that local, family type atmosphere!?! My girlfriends uncle is a regular here, and loves Rileys. I know he typically eats breakfast here every day and gets the same mushroom omelet each visit. He swears by it here! So my lady and I figured it was time we met up with him to see what all this local gem had to offer. So we walk and first thing we notice is how small the dinning room is, right beside the seating and tables is the bar area. Luckily, there was plenty of seating once we walked to the other dinning room. Seems like that area was meant for nice, summer days to be outside. Obviously it's January and that area was a bit chilly, but nothing a hoodie or light jacket couldn't take care of. Their breakfast menu was legit, all the normal stuff; pancakes, omelets, hash browns and bacon. But this day, they had their steak and eggs special breakfast. I couldn't resist. Especially not for $8 bucks. I also made sure to get $3 mimosas! 3 dollars! The food was wonderful! My steak was medium rare, cooked to perfection. Hash browns had good seasonings and of course the mimosas were delightful! My only complaint is that the wait time for food. It was brunch on Saturday, so a fairly busy time, but I felt like they could of been quicker. Thank goodness for the 2 mimosas I had to pass the time! Great spot, looking forward to going back! read more

Riley's Pour House - T-bone Steak and eggs special - Irish Pub Near Me - Carnegie, Pennsylvania

I chose Riley's for first Lenten fish of the season. I called ahead for takeout, and first impressions of place are cute. The fish sandwich with fries was a miss. The fries tasted chewy, like they had been sitting for awhile or reheated. Not really worth eating. The fish was a bit better, but dry and a little chewy. Big portions and fair price. May give another dish a try. read more

Cool place to go eat, drink, and hang out. They have a really neat enclosed back patio with a bar and a bunch of spread out tables. The live music on Saturday night was a nice touch to see that I've been missing with all this covid stuff! We had some fried Reuben rolls that were killer as an appetizer. For dinner I got some good wings in a Kickin bourbon sauce that was like a spicy BBQ and my buddy got the Sheppards pie that also looked pretty good. Will be back! read more

Came for the fish and chips and were not disappointed. Portions are huge! Fish was great. Also had the Reuben rolls for an appetizer and they were delish. Prices were reasonable. Iced tea was only 1.50, app was 7 bucks and fish and chips were 12 bucks and includes a side. Seating is tricky. Bar area is tight. Patio seating is large but it is noisy and sometimes a band plays. read more

Very disappointed in the Pour House - been going there for many years. The patrons have traditionally been older and many elderly - for this year's Parade and St. Patrick's Days the new owners have eliminated all seating - and are serving "boxed lunch" food - greed, ageism or both. read more

We ordered the Shepherd's Pie and it didn't disappoint! Got it for take out and didn't stay to hear any of the live music. Nice crowd though! read more

Ruben sandwich was huge. Band was good but very loud. There's no way to make any conversation unless you shoutout.

Just a great place for Irish fare, beer and Irish whiskey.... Entertainment has always been great as well.

I had a half corn beef sandwich and a half order of sweet potato fries and it was excellent. The service was commendable in a quaint Irish setting. read more

On a cold, rainy night, it was so good to walk in and see live music, room to sit, and a warm, friendly environment. The bartender, Maria, was so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. The service was fast (although we were in no hurry to leave). The sweet potato fries were the best that we have had, and one of the few places that have delicious honey mustard dressing to dip them in. We will be back for sure. read more

I used to frequent this place all the time but more recently we have not enjoyed it as much. The food is ok and it's a nice Irish-style pub vibe but the service has declined and the beer is never cold enough. We still get takeout from time to time but it's definitely hit or miss too. A bummer because they often have live music and it is very fun to hang out there and drink and listen. read more

Fun bar, great service, yummy food. Our waitress couldn't of been better. She was nice, attentive and helpful. Can't wait to become a regular here. read more

We have been wanting to try this place for months since we moved to the area. We were pretty bummed with our meal tonight. The irish mac leaves a lot to be desired and the wings were subpar. We liked the fried pickles though and the guy on the keyboard was pleasant to listen to. I think I set my expectations too high on this one. read more

Been going there for years. Great food friendly staff. Breakfast is one of the best around and a Bloody Mary always hits the spot.

Found this nice Irish gem on Google on a recent trip into the area. We stopped in for brunch/lunch. We were greeted and seated promptly by a smiling face(always a good sign) . Our server was over immediatley(and there were a fair amount of tables) she asked if we wanted to do the buffet. We said we saw it ended at 1( we arrived around 1250) she said they began to shut it down about 115(which actually was.more like 130). So we decided to do that. Cost was super reasonable 15.99. There were many options to chose from both their breakfast menu and lunch/dinner. My first plate consisted of what I assume were in house made biscuts that I topped with sausage gravey, scrambled eggs and bacon. The sausage gravey was superb and the freshness of the biscut enhanced the overall flavor. I also had some breakfast potatoes on the first trip. Cooked to perfection the potatoes has a crisp outside texture with a soft middle. Really good. My second plate I elected to go with some of the lunch items. I tried the meatloaf that had a Guiness Gravy ypu could use a topper( it was real good), the bbq boneless wings(these were fair not the best not the worst) the Shepards Pie, I really liked it and some Au Graten Potates , these too were good. There were two items to me that stole the show, although everything was good, these were the chicken wings and the chocalate chip cookie( the sugar cookies were amazing as well but I am a chocolate chip person) The wings were perfectly crisp and were tossed in a Amazing Garlic Parm Sauce. Luckly I didn't try to rhe end or I would have eaten the whole tray. I would order these by themselves. The cookies were really good size loaded with chocalte chips and so soft. They were really good. Our service was outstanding as our empty plates were cleared quickly and our drinks never remotely came close to being empty. We never felt rushed even though we got the buffet late. If we are ever back to the area I would like to go during the day or at night to enjoy the outside patio and maybe some Irish music. I would recommend stopping here if you are in the Pittaburgh Area read more

The only reason Riley's is getting a 2 is because of the food. Tonight was my second time there and we loved it last time. This time we were reminded frequently by our server of what time the kitchen closed, when it was last call, when they were closing, and to top it off, we were standing outside saying goodbye and were asked to move out of the way so they could lock the patio gate. And all of this happened before it was even 10:15 pm. It was so disappointing that we felt unwelcome. I guess if you want to go there, only go early. read more

Had a good fish sandwich (16.95) and a tossed salad here but they added six upcharges: $2 for sweet potato fries (substituted for the reg fries that were included), $.50 for blue cheese dressing for the salad, $.50 for cocktail sauce, $.50 for tartar sauce, $1 for lettuce and $1 for tomato on the sandwich! Ridiculous! read more

We ordered take out on a Saturday evening. We called to place our order- the wait time was only 25 minutes- and it was ready to go when we got there. I had the Reuben and my fiancé had the shepherds pie. We also ordered wings to share. The Reuben came with chips and a pickle- it was a really good Reuben! My fiancé really liked the shepherds pie too. The wings were just ok though. This was our first time ordering from here and we would like to come back and eat there once restaurants are opened again! read more

Great place for lunch and outdoor dining. Good beer selection. Friendly staff. Will definitely be back when I return to Pittsburgh.

I have been there for brunch 2x in August. Both times, the food was served quickly and was great. There was no delay with ordering drinks with our meals. The menus are thrown away after each use and people wear masks if going to the restroom/moving about. Kudos to the staff for providing great service and food! read more

As a long time customer of Riley's, (3 years) and even sticking with them through a management change where food quality hit a low point I've had a nightmare experience. After ordering the special for dinner to night, I was served what looked like a child's portion. A bit later a friend showed up and ordered the same special and literally was served a portion almost twice my size. ( I even asked another friend if the size comparison was accurate.) When I mentioned this to their manager, Mason, he immediately discounts my concern by saying all portions are the same size. I said this was BS and he immediately escalated the situation. I'll find a better place to spend my hard earned money where my business is appreciated and my satisfaction as a customer is a priority. read more

First let me say I love the Ruben sandwiches her. But this review is regarding safety during these COVID TIMES!! Although the patio is technically "outside" there is plastic around the entire area with heaters and what felt like no ventilation!! It was definitely warm, but when we walked in, and saw all the patrons sitting around without masks on of course because they were eating and drinking it felt like a breeding ground for COVID. I'm all for supporting restaurants during this 2020 time but not at the risk of our health. My hope is that the owner reads this and rethinks his ventilation system especially during these high risk months so we can enjoy this restaurant in the future!! For now it will be take out only! read more

Showed up with a friend last night just for food. They requested a $5 cover charge for whoever was playing so we agreed. Entered and had to seat ourselves, except the only open spots were reserved for the "Irish association" - a few minutes later I told a waitress we were just going to leave and that a refund would be nice. She said "Aw sorry" and proceeded to charge my card anyway LOL wtf read more

I love trying Reubens in Pittsburgh and I saw some good reviews of Riley's so I decided to order take out. The Reuben was honestly one of the best I've had in Pittsburgh, if not the best. I would love to check out this place in person! read more

A friend once told me she thought Riley's Pour House was one of the most underrated places in Pittsburgh and since then, I've been dying to stop in. I finally made it here and I am quite impressed by the food! I ordered the fish and chips and it was outstanding. Fish was moist and the batter was perfectly crispy, not at all overly greasy. The hubby got the Reuben and I love that they serve a whole half a pickle, not a spear like you'd find at other restaurants. Although the dishes weren't fancy, the quality of the ingredients was really what stood out. We were here on a nice night so they had the outdoor space open. To my surprise, the outdoor space was dog-friendly! The place was packed on a Friday night so it was nice to have the option of going outside. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to get a table as the inside seemed quite small. Great place for food and brews! We will be back! read more

Great food. Great people. Lots of fun. The management was so helpful - couldn't be more pleased.

It is a neighborhood place worth visiting if you want a great fried fish sandwich or dinner. If you order an omelet without meat, check before eating if you're a vegetarian as I got a mouthful of pork. While they offer great rye toast or english muffins at breakfast, they don't have butter (only margarine.) It is a great place to enjoy sporting events. read more

My wife and I gave the restaurant another try for the Sunday brunch. It looks appealing on paper, but was wholly disappointing. The restaurant was busy and extremely loud. The food offerings are plain and mediocre. The key indicator for me of whether I am going to enjoy a meal is whether what I am eating is fresh. Riley's offered watery canned green beans. The price of $15.99 for adults and $13.99 for seniors would be fair if the food were tasty, fresh, and good quality. In our two dining experiences there, it is clear that Riley's has little to offer. read more

Had a little time to kill so I stopped into Riley's or a Murphy's Stout while in route to my girlfriend place. I've been a big fan of this little Irish inspired pub for quite some time and wish it was located closer to my house. I usually stop in for a bite before attending a performance at the Off The Wall Theater just up the road; then drinks after the show. On weekend evenings you'll most likely find someone on the small stage in the front playing guitar and singing Irish songs. I've had the Pour House O'Burger, the Reuben, the cod and the Shepherds pie. Everything has always been delicious and I'd recommend any one of these dishes. read more

I was only at Riley's very briefly but had a good time! We stopped in for a beer before heading to an event and sat on the patio. The bartender was very friendly and the beer was reasonably priced. They were setting up for a film screening under their pavilion and had plenty of outdoor space. If I'm back in Carnegie, I would definitely stop back in for dinner some night! read more

I am visiting Pittsburgh and this restaurant was recommended by hotel staff. I went for Saturday brunch and had the Irish Breakfast $6 with Bloody Mary $2 additional with purchase of breakfast: 2 bangers 2 strips of bacon, home fries and 3 eggs over easy. The breakfast was excellent, perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon and home fries tender center but crisp outside. My Bloody Mary had a splash of Guinness and a stalk of celery. Yummy with my breakfast. Friendly waitstaff and local patrons were inviting. I felt like family. Would highly recommend for visitors and I will be back read more

Absolutely the best Irish Pub I've been to in the Pittsburgh Area. The renovations under new owntership have brought in the feel of a TRUE Irish Pub and will knock you socks off. I used to stop in BEFORE Riley purchased the pub and the food back then was super greasy and for lack of better words the place wasn't the cleanest. NOW with the new ownership I see that Jim Riley's renovations have brought this worn-out bar to a real, true Irish Pub. You can't get closer to Ireland when stopping in here. The food is awesome! They have Chef Lloyd who can churn out incredible daily specials....I have yet to be disappointed. You gotta try the new Pub Fries....delicious! They really make the pints go down nicely. Don't forget to check out the back patio...lots of good times to be had out there too this summer. If you're in the mood for incredible live entertainment, excellent food and pints, then this is your place! Stop in, you won't be disappointed! ~ Slante! read more

please let me know what happened to this place? Im not a complainer but lord, all new people, sat in the back garage area, plastic cups, sticky filthy table, ordered fried zucchini, WHAT WAS THAT? came in sticks out of a frozen bag, sorry.

Stop inn for carryout at this authentic Irish bar with great Irish fare and pub food too! I had the Reuben with fries and it was really really good while the service was warm and friendly. I stopped in for a carryout sandwich while delivering some groceries to some struggling families during the Covid 19 Pandemic. The manager even donated 2 liter sodas for the poor families I was delivering to. As you know most bars and restaurants are struggling during the crisis, but they had the kindness and the warmth to make a contribution at a time when they themselves are struggling. This is the kind of place you want to support, that you can be PROUD of patronizing and I hope you stop in and place an order. read more
