Authentic Irish pub. Best Rueben I've ever had. Fish sandwich is also spot on (and massive). I do wish they served their draft beers in a proper glass pint rather than a plastic pint, but that's a tiny detail, not a deal breaker by any means. read more

Cool spot to go if you want a traditional Irish pub. We were looking for places that were low key around Pittsburgh since we aren't from here and this checked all the boxes last night. I had a new England clam chowder which was delicious and my husband had the lobster mac n cheese. It was all great. Would recommend if you are in the pittsburgh/Carnegie area read more

on every level. Food, service, band. Everyone is entitled to one bad night and being visitors we can't give them a second chance, but this was the worst! read more

Talk about bad service. Asked for a lemon with my water. Didn't get it and it prob took our server 20 min to get it. My husband gets his salad but my soup was MIA. When I finally grab the food runner she was totally clueless. The soup had a fancy name - Cock a Leekie - but was basically chicken & rice. Lamb stew was ok but the mashed potatoes were terrible. They were obviously instant potatoes and just plain bad. Had some type of cheese in it but that didn't even help. The fish 'n chips were good but looking at the giant portion of the other guests, we were disappointed in what we received. Server never checked in on us. read more

Good was ok, but very disappointed in lack of Irish food. No bangers and mash, no scotch eggs, no Irish stew

Wow...The Pour House. A Carnegie staple for decades. Years ago I worked in an office directly across the street and would order lunch almost daily. It's changed over the years but not much and for the better. They have great drink specials with a decent crowd of people who are always friendly even if you're not a regular. I suggest trying one of their Bloodies. So good you guys. read more

I'm eating the best Reuben i have ever had since the last Reuben I had from Riley's Pour House, which was the best Reuben I have ever had.

I have been to Riley's twice for lunch. On my first visit I had the best broccoli cheese soup I have ever had in my life! I followed this up with Rueben rolls (in egg roll wrappers) which were also good. The second time, I tried the Shepherd's pie, but I was not a fan. Riley's has a really nice outdoor space that is heated in the winter and lots of music. I need to come over here in the evening and enjoy these aspects. read more

I used to love this place. Our server chrisy was terrible. Service was slow. Was greeted by maybe 5 different servers and still was disappointed. The food lacked any flavor, very bland. Same bands have been playing every weekend. Idk who is in charge but they should make some changes soon. read more

Its a disgrace that this place should be allowed have any association with Ireland. Called them to as k if they were showing the all ireland hurling final, they had no clue what hurling was and I spoke to a few different people. Then the icing on the cake I showed up after watching the game on my laptop to have a pint and a bite to eat with my wife son and two dogs. First server said it was fine to have the dogs there and then 5 mins later someone else came out to say dogs were not allowed. Shame on you, get off the band wagon and stop calling yourself an irish pub. If I could give them a zero I would. read more

Terrible service. Got there at 10:50 waited 10 minutes to even be acknowledged then told in no uncertain terms "kitchen closed". Well if we didn't have to WAIT 10 minutes it would be open. Waitress was a complete B with terrible attitude. Hard to believe that they have been in business 30 years. read more

I had the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans, 1/2 a cob of corn and a qtr of watermelon fresh of the grill...yum! And for just $10 cash! read more

The food is as good as it's ever been. Our ukulele group played with the owner's blessing. we packed the back stage area and everyone had a great time. Sorry if we overwhelmed the staff with so many people. Everyone loved the atmosphere and dare I say, the great ukulele band. read more

After enjoying a mead tasting across the street at Apis, my friends and I were hungry and had the choice between "the Italian place or the Irish place". I'm glad we picked the Irish place! We had a blast! We were there for open mic night and I have to say it had some of the best talent I've ever heard at an open mic night! We sat down at a table and it took a few minutes to get service on the busy night but when we were greeted it was pleasant and we ordered off the menu, which had plenty of bar food options and Irish choices. My friends got the cod cake sandwich, grilled cheese, fish and chips, and the wings. I had the potato skins and the cock a leekie soup, which was like a chicken and barley soup. Everyone had a great meal. We had a lot of fun at the bar and it really reminded me of a laid back bar you would find in Ireland. It wasn't kitschy but still had the Irish feel. I would like to return for another open mic night. read more

My mother had the Ruben - good and I had the whale of Fish/ Tater Tots were great ! also order the Colcannon as an App , traditional Irish recipe is mashed potatoes w kale or cabbage this was like a mashed baked potato cheese on top little or no cabbage/kale. have to have a pint of Guinness while your there read more

It's a smaller place which I don't mind, you get more attention from your waitress which we did , there was about 2-3 ones that helped clean our plates and bring food. We came for wing night because I was craving wings and was looking for a place around Pittsburgh that had a Wednesday wing night, they had a chili ranch flavor featured tonight so we tried that. Tbh it wasn't great, but I don't like wings going to waste. The garlic parm was FANTASTIC. I usually go for wet rubs in wings which was why I thought chili ranch would be wet but it wasn't. Next time I'd try bbq or something. Overall though the wings altogether were fantastic af and I'd deff come back and I most likely will. We also had the Reuben rolls appetizer which was also FANTASTIC ANS I HIGHLY recommend. Small dive place with awesome food, everyone needs to come here at least once read more

Every visit invigorates my nostrils! I regretfully have not eaten here yet, but I am extremely eager to put their food in my mouth. It's a fun place to grab a drink and sing Irish songs loudly -- and although it's pretty small, it's never packed to the point of obnoxiousness. However, I hear the food is amazing and I believe it because I'm teased by the delightful smells every time I go. I did get a tiny sample recently when the special was a seafood crepe and the chef shoved a piece of crepe in my mouth as I walked by the kitchen. It. was. great. I'm pretty sure last time I also saw something made with mashed potatoes that I need to eat too. read more

I had never heard of Riley's Pour House before yesterday. Eric suggested that we check it out. Not too shabby at all. The place itself is small, but cozy. They have a small stage up front, where they advertise all sorts of live music. (Made a mental note to check out an Irish music night). They also have an outside patio out back, if dining al fresco is what you are looking for. The service was meh. I think this was due to there only being two servers for the entire place. One was also the bartender, however it wasn't terrible and they managed. I ordered the fish and chip dinner & Eric got the fish sandwich. Talk about HUGE portions. My meal started with a choice of salad, coleslaw, or fruit. I opted for the coleslaw. It was good, but a little heavy on the celery seed, so I gave the rest to Eric. The fish and chip itself was massive, but so so yummy!!! Nice thick batter dipped fish with yummy steak fries. They had it right with Heinz vinegar on the table. I was in heaven. As far as beer options, don't think you're going to get your craft beer of choice. They do represent their Irish heritage by having Smithwicks, Guinness, & Harp all on tap. Of course all the Pgh regulars are there too. This is definitely a place where I will visit again. Most likely on a live music night, and I'll have the corned beef b/c it smelled breathtaking! :) read more

Ordinarily, I would not post about a place this cool, because I would want to keep my secret cool spaces secret! But I don't get over there too often now. The space is nice. The staff is even nicer. The prices are reasonable, and the food is solid. It is not exactly authentic Irish food, mind you. It's inspired by British Isles cuisine, with a fair amount of Pittsburgh thrown in. Meaning, forget your diet for the day, alright? What blows me away is the music. It may not be exactly my thing, but it's never too loud. Much of it is Irish inspired, but some is not. What follows Irish pub tradition, is that it is meant to bring the group together, and often meant to be sung along to. My favorite is when they have the guy playing piano. This is usually on a week night. When I walk into a place and can have a fantastic reuben (not very Irish...) with a Murphy's stout, and listen to a little ragtime, played live, I am a happy lad. read more

First let me say this place is cheap! We haven't been out for this cheap in ages! Second, it's a little weird to get outside from the inside. The food was good and you get a good amount! Not a large menu but decent amount of choices. They have a selection of beer,wine and liquor. We sat outside under the cover. They had live music playing which was fun. It's great for groups since they have large tables outside. read more

If I could create my own pub, it would be exactly like the Pour House. The only disappointing thing is that it's 17 miles from my house and I can't go there every day. I love this place. read more

Riley's is a great place to get a nice relaxed meal or have a more lively evening with friends and family. Live music I believe every day of the week from really great artists, and very good food! The fries are amazing and come in huge portions. I usually get a half order of the chili fries and it is enough for 4 people. Fish and Chips, Reuben, and the burger are also highly recommended (although I'm sure all of the food is tasty!). Also, they've got a great selection of beer to go with your meal! Saturday breakfast is also really awesome. Very relaxed, smooth piano tunes playing in the back, and a small menu to make your decision easy. I stick with alternating between the Irish Breakfast and the omelette, but I have tried the pancakes and they are huge, fluffy, and tasty as well. Also, you can get a mimosa and bloody mary for only $2, which is amazing! read more

Brief review because I just went there for some drinks. Great atmosphere. There was a gent playing the piano - who sounded awesome. I am very interested in their breakfast. I will definitely go there again and update my review. read more

People from the North Hills, there is a very chill spot to chill in Carnegie and that is Riley's Pour House. Went here on a Saturday night to scout out the area since I've been hearing about how "up-and-coming" it is, and found three places with live bodies in them after 8pm; Riley's, 131, and the liquor store. So, even though Bacon recently opened, I'd say if you want a quiet town this is still the place to be. The Parmesan wings were standard. BF ordered a hamburger that he said, "Hit the spot." And I got a Reuben which is why this review got an extra star. They have Angry Orchard, which is great for a non-beer drinker like me. The outside seating area had live music. The crowd was a bit older, but they knew how to hit the dance "ground". Our server was really pleasant and worked her bum off moving from table to table. We paid exactly the right amount for a nice dinner out, drinks, and live music. Thanks, Riley's! read more

The best Ruben and sweet potato fries that we have eaten. Friendly waitress (Jordan) and fast service at this "GO TO" pub

This place is brilliant! Great atmosphere and the owners understand Irish hospitality. Maybe the best corned beef in the city. Yum!! Not to be missed read more

We're visiting from California (my husband is formerly from the south hills) and we'd never been here before. Their outdoor COVID seating was really nice, lots of space heaters, live music, friendly and prompt service (her name was Carianne, she was great!) and the food was out of this world. The burger was cooked to order, super flavorful and the fries were fresh-cut. 10/10 would recommend! read more

We are new to the area. Someone highly recommended this restaurant. We went on a Saturday at 1130 AM hoping to get lunch. We were told we could only order breakfast. We were very disappointed but stayed and ordered. I requested cheddar cheese on my scrambled eggs. The waitress told me I couldn't because they didn't have it. I pointed out the cheddar cheese omelette on their menu. I asked for my bacon to be crispy (I hate it chewy). We both ordered an English muffin grilled. Our waitress said "We can't grill it, there's all ready too many things on the grill". While we were waiting for our food, a young couple came in and were given a luncheon menu. I looked at my watch and the time was 1153. I was not happy as our waitress could have told us we only needed to wait until noon for lunch. We would have gladly done that. When I got my breakfast, I never got cheddar cheese on my eggs (but was charged $1 for it), my bacon was NOT crispy, and our English muffins were barely toasted. The breakfast was hot and the food tasty but not the way I like it. Our waitress never checked on us after getting our food. I had to flag her down to get water. But here's the part the was most upsetting; we went to the bathroom on our way out and there is a sign in there that says SERVING BREAKFAST EVERY SATURDAY UNTIL 11AM! Shaking my head. The waitress definitely ruined our experience. We will go back and try lunch. Hoping we get a different server! read more

Great food that was perfectly cooked even through delivery. Definitely will make this a regular!

Great spot for some Irish food and beer. Gets pretty crowded so sometimes you have to wait.

HORRIBLE hostess! We usually have great service and food here but my family had an issue going to Riley's last night (2/26) around 5:30. Usually we go though the tent entrance to get seated. When I came in the main restaurant area, I didn't see the sign as it was packed. I went ahead and sat at a table in the tent as I couldn't find anyone to ask where the hostess station was to be seated. The male hostess elderly man came over and started yelling at me in front of my 9 yr old son. When I apologized and said I missed the sign and surely would be happy to get in line, he yelled that the hostess sign was BIG and couldn't understand how I missed it. The people at the tables around us just shook there head and couldn't believe how this guy was acting. My family headed back to the waiting area, he proceeded to continue to yell at me and make more smart comments (completely uncalled for). My son asked my husband and I if we could leave because the man was scaring him. We go out to eat a lot and my son had never seen anything like this before. So we left and went somewhere else. I worked as a waitress in my early years and this guy honestly should not be working in the restaurant business let alone with people in general. I felt like he was trying to attack someone and I was his target. read more

Really hope the band is better than the food. Just all around bad, definitely not a ribeye, not fresh, service slow and service a bit rude. The patio looked like it may be a cool place to hang out and just drink but we will never know. read more

So affordable and the apps are delicious! The atmosphere is FANTASTIC! The owner is so kind and the staff is attentive. I go here all the time and can't say enough good things about it! Their wings are my favorite thing to order! Def recommend :) read more

The food is amazing. For brunch it was casual and a great price. We actually weren't going to come to this place because we didn't know about it but a boutique shop owner suggested it to us and told us the mimosas were $2 and a cheap breakfast. We were definitely not disappointed by the kind service, unique atmosphere and great food. The silverware was plastic, adding to it being pretty causal. There were individuals who came in from a run and everyone from dresses to short. Nothing fancy, but if you're looking for a good, cheap breakfast, this is the place to come. read more

I've been going here for years but not in the past few. WOW! The place is just as good as before but larger with a big patio and live music. The fish sandwich and fries are just as big but a few dollars more. Wait staff is excellent. The beer choices are fantastic as well. The only two things that irked me was the plastic silverware with a cheesy napkin in a plastic bag and the beer served in a plastic cup. Get real metal silverware and real beer glasses. read more
