    A true corner pub! Come in on a Monday or Tuesday to find half price pizza and your regulars sitting at the bar. This isn't your place if you're looking for typical bar food, no burgers or o-rings here, only pizza. Bartender is straight to business to get through the line waiting to order, but her spunky personality will have you listening in and wanting to stick around for bar banter. Decent drink selection. Relaxed atmosphere. Fun pub decor and the booths are made of old solid wood pocket doors. Patio out back opening up soon for the warmer weather.

    Mel is bartending Monday and Saturday . NICE little Irish pub . I didn't know they had a second room behind the bar. Nice outdoor patio in front . Irish beer specials every day!!! Pizza crust comes from the Hill, and they add the goodies . About twelve items to choose from . Bar service only if it's busy and it usually is !

    Will likely never grace this establishment again. The female bartender was one of the rudest people I’ve experienced in a customer service role, I’m not sure if she’s ever emailed or been pleasant. My spouse tried to order an Old Fashioned and she replied that she didn’t have an orange and couldn’t make it. What bar doesn’t have an orange on hand?

    Very friendly staff with diverse cross-section of patrons. Drinks prices were fair and they accept credit card. Would have been great if they had a bigger food variety; they only serve pizza. Definitely would revisit

    This drink is half full. I will order another. They are delicious. This is a chill place to get beer, pizza and spirits.

    Simple neighborhood bar. Local and national beers available. Friendly staff. They also do pizza. Be warned, it's STL style. This isn't for everyone. If you get it with mozzarella, it's actually pretty good for what it is.

  • 5/5 Charles M. 3 months ago on Google • 85 reviews New
    Good NA options. STL style pizza. Monday & Tuesdays, large pizza is half off. The lovely Mel is a great bartender & server and sure to put a smile on your face. The bathroom could use some TLC / renovations.

    You may think, “Why is their menu all pizza and nothing else?” Try the pizza before you judge! I got pepperoni and it was the best I’ve had in a long while! You are going to love it!!!

    I thought this would be a cool little place to try out since it's quite close to my neighborhood where my house is. Little Dirty. The pizzas is basically frozen pizza they put in a oven. Totally processed. My Beer Mug was dirty. The Owner isnt even Irish which is kind of hilarious since he owns an Irish bar. As someone from South City Born Raised much better real authentic Irish bars in STL and a better experience. And they little pricey. And the bartenders that work there clearly are in cahoots with the owner and think they can talk to customers certain way. Save your money go somewhere else. Be prepared to wait forever just to get a beer as well. Like i said just kinda Funny the Owner isnt even Irish 😂

    Good place to have a few drinks and hang out. Neighborhood bar vibe. Plenty of seating, nice front patio when the weather's good. Darts available if you want it. Good and reasonably priced Saint Louis style pizza served til 10pm most nights.

  • 3/5 Samantha M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pub atmosphere but few beers on tap, and the only food now is STL pizza.

  • 5/5 S R. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic place to eat and drink. Pop in around 4:30 pm any weeks day for those Jeopardy vibes. Will top pizzas with Mozzarella, if requested. Great ceiling.

    If I could give it a zero I would, my husband and I just recently purchased a place in the neighborhood so we thought we’d check it out. Obviously we’re black and literally soon as we walked in it was an instant unwelcoming atmosphere. The bar tender ignored us until she considered herself done chatting it up with some other folks that again obviously weren’t of the same ethic background as us. Then we purchased sounds on the Juke system, and apparently the owner that lives upstairs has the ability to change the music selection after it’s been paid for. Well, apparently most of our selection was still too “Black” for him because he would skip most of our pre-purchased songs. Not to mention they’ve already blocked out all hip-hop and r&b from the system. We are good people just looking for a cool spot in our new neighborhood and RILEY’S isn’t it!

    Stayed in a airBNB down the street and parked up front to grab a pint. Local customers made you feel welcome. Super good pizza and variety of beers on draught as well as can(s). Glad I stopped in and thank you for the hospitality.

    First time to visit and will be back. Efficient - what are your pizza and drinks at the bar don't give you a number and bring the pizza when it's ready. All orders go through the bar. Lots of space inside and an outside area as well. As you would expect for an Irish pub Guinness and smithwick's on tap. Pizza St Louis style and was very good.

  • 4/5 R. D. 8 months ago on Google
    Cool old bar. Great thin pizza. We like the za with mozzarella cheese. Worth a stop a few times a year. They only serve pizza I think.

  • 5/5 Rachel S. 5 months ago on Google
    They have daily specials. Pizza is really good! It's bigger inside than expected, and they have outside seating in front and back as well.

  • 5/5 Krista H. 1 year ago on Google
    Down to earth low key bar with good prices and good pizza.

  • 4/5 Dee T. 9 months ago on Google
    People are friendly. Don't know if the pizza was overhyped by reviews, but it didn't stand out to me at all. Not bad but there are a lot of pizza places in St Louis that make a great pizza, this was good.

  • 5/5 Aaron B. 9 months ago on Google
    Best Irish pub in St Louis. Possibly the best STL style pizza, too— half price Monday and Tuesday nights!

  • 5/5 Andrej T. 11 months ago on Google
    Stumbled across Riley's while walking through the neighborhood. Came in for a drink stayed for two hours. The drinks were very fairly priced, the pizza hit the spot and the barkeep and patrons were super friendly! Next time I will come back on purpose.

  • 5/5 Michael K. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place. The pizza is very good and extremely affordable. It has that small, cozy feel to it, without being cramped. There is main seating in the bar, but also 2 outside areas and 2 indoor sections to sit. You can be in the bar, or you can find a place a little quieter and less crowded for a little privacy. Every Wednesday at 7 pm, the St. Louis Irish Session Players perform Irish folk music. They are fantastic and make the night feel lively.

  • 4/5 Lynne H. 10 months ago on Google
    Great outdoor patio and great place for beer and pizza if that's what you're looking for. But the pizza we got was so spicy that we are both sick for the whole night, I like spicy food but wasn't expecting to get the spicy Pizza which my partner can't eat and so we had to leave pretty quickly. Not sure if it was spicy sauce or whatever but spicy should be an option or made clear if you're ordering pizza

    It was a nice little corner pub. It was cool seeing the vintage decor. The Guinness was good.

  • 5/5 Bob M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local bar. Pizza was delicious. Nice selection of beers, ciders, and other drinks.

    Riley's used to be cool enough with the Free State Riley Brothers and Michael Collins motif and pretty good pizza but now it's gone more vanilla and lacks any vibe. Tired looking, cheap and disorganized Cardinal and Blues stuff splotched about the walls like wet laundry on a backyard line. The tables are left dirty and the restrooms surely breed unspeakable things. Mostly bar flies hunched in greasy formation at the bar too. Bummer to see it slide into oblivion.
