    You know what you're getting with Rileys. Pool (English & American), Snooker, Darts, Fruit Machines, loads of screens for sports, and even Table Tennis. It's got the monopoly on value when it comes to table sports, etc, so it's a fine place to do those things. Saying that I wouldn't go unless I was doing those things. The food isn't great, its not particularly cheap for drinks and it doesn't show the 3pm kick offs so plenty of other places would get my nod for watching football. Staff are friendly enough and there's usually free tables.

    This is my first experience at a Rileys Sports pub. So it's the full works on pool, darts and football. It's a huge place bigger than you imagine from the outside. Very comfortable seating and tables. I can't comment on food but £3.89 for a non alcoholic Heineken beer is more than you pay in other pubs around the area. Still I give it a full 4 stars it's lively and has a good atmosphere.

    Spoken to poorly by two of the staff. Incredibly rude and blunt when speaking to customers. A man with a bad hair cut and glasses who struggled to make eye contact after his comments and a women with dark hair and gap teeth swearing behind the bar about customers “all standing together” in a cue to play pool at a pool bar 😂

    I haven’t see unprofessional manager like that in my life. They have a fault system of membership card. We just found out that the point doesn’t count of membership card. Even though we have been 4 times before. The manager basically say that nothing we can do anything for with bad attitude. It happened in 18 August 2023 at 6:50 pm. She doesn’t know how to deal with customer at all.

    The whole Riley's experience was out of this world, great facilities, friendly staff and an amazing place to sped time with family and friends. The only downside is the expensive drinks but that didn't bother us, we was there for the snooker 👍 definitely going back

    Absolutely lovely staff. I was served by a handsome young fella named Gil. He was welcoming and friendly, also made excellent drinks! Marvellous experience. Thanks Gil!

  • 5/5 Stuart M. 11 months ago on Google
    Well what can I say about this place... was only supposed to be a meeting point, 1 drink turned into several. Few games of pool, threw a few arrows, Tommo wasting his wages in the fruit machine... Great laugh.... inside was immaculate and staff were fantastic the 2 young girls were very friendly but professional (think one was Erin and the other began with a M)... no longer a meeting point this is going to be a regular now for me and the lads...well done Rileys.

  • 5/5 James M. 8 months ago on Google
    Courtney is the best! Very attentive and made sure we had a great experience, enjoyed my time in the bar!

  • 5/5 Andi C. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here for a few drinks and it didn’t disappoint! Loads to do and the staff were phenomenal, especially Courtney she went above and beyond and just maintained such high energy the whole time! She was so polite and is definitely the reason I will return.

  • 5/5 Mace M. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice place very busy, toilets not great but clean, darts, 8 ball pool and 9 ball pool I believe snooker aswell although I didn't venture up that far. Massive screen plus multiple other screens for sports. They also do good but not tried this visit. Price I suppose is OK but I'm tight and think £4.99 for a Guinness is expensive but it was a nice pint and I paid more for a shandy in there.

  • 5/5 Lindsay C. 11 months ago on Google
    Liverpool Riley’s is a great place! The staff are amazing. The person that particularly stood out to us was Holly who was so lovely and friendly when she was collecting glasses and keeping everywhere clean and tidy around the pool table area. Well done Riley’s Liverpool

  • 5/5 Jamie A. 7 months ago on Google
    Lauren was amazing was always checking up if we needed drinks. She is deffinetly making the business money!! Was the most polite person we've ever seen here would deffinetly hire for my buisness. Should be proud to have her working for you.

  • 5/5 Nathan 7 months ago on Google
    Lauren has been exceptional to us tonight providing us with the best possible service, Riley’s should be very lucky to have her as a member of their team and I’m jealous I can’t bring her into our company. 5 stars all day everyday

  • 1/5 Alexandra F. 6 months ago on Google
    Attended on a Friday night, 8pm. Had to ask twice to have the lights turned on at the board after my partner was told "there'll be a light switch at the board". Spoiler, there wasn't and eventually someone found a switch behind the bar. They put us on a dart board which was shocking in quality. We paid nearly £10 for an hour and had to stop gameplay multiple times owing to the aforementioned and the fact there was an active pool session on the table right by the board. I'd have rather they said they didn't have the capacity as at least we would not have wasted our money. Do better.

  • 5/5 Ellie M. 6 months ago on Google
    Amazing night and great service from both Gil and Ella who helped us have a great night out. Lauren helped us sign up as members to get in so everything was so easy and we were able to have a great night! Thank you everyone for a great night!

  • 5/5 Megan S. 6 months ago on Google
    Amazing place. Favourite place to go for chill pool vibes and drinks. Special mention to Gil and Amelia who went above and beyond for their special service. Definitely will be returning!!

  • 5/5 Chloe S. 6 months ago on Google
    Gil was amazing - great service & so welcoming! Amelia and Ella were really helpful too, they all went above & beyond for us, really happy with the service, will be back for sure. Thanks team!

  • 1/5 G 6 months ago on Google
    Booked a session for darts, flights kept falling off and breaking on 2/3 of the darts, they didn’t have any replacements which was surprisingly considering there was only one other party playing darts also. Asked for a refund but they said they couldn’t provide it there and to contact the support emails. It’s been a week now since I’ve sent the email and still no response, not even bothered about the £10 just poor communication or management between either the branch or the head office, a joke..

  • 5/5 James R. 5 months ago on Google
    Been here a few times. Always a great atmosphere, brilliant staff especially a lovely lady called Lauren she will make sure your taken care of.

  • 4/5 Howie A. D. 1 year ago on Google
    I went for the first time. It was an experience in light of having a good atmosphere and prompt service with a smile. Was quiet noisy until you reach the back where all pool tables etc are..

  • 5/5 Scott M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to unwind and have a few games of pool, snooker or darts.

  • 5/5 Fulbert F. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a nice place! We were there on Wednesday evening, mostly empty with a lot of space. Enjoying darts was awesome experience, equipment was top notch! Definitely will be back when in mood for more 🎯!

  • 5/5 Spot M. 2 years ago on Google
    Quality evening on Saturday watching the England game for a long overdue lads weekend. Despite an issue with the Riley!s app failing at KO time the staff dealt with it really well...... And what an atmosphere, we started the longest German Bomber song ever...come on Engerrrrland.

  • 3/5 Mark A. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great venue for bar sports. It's busy on the weekend and a little unorganised. But will worth a visit!

  • 5/5 Ron D. 2 years ago on Google
    My boys love it. Nice food. Great atmosphere on match days.

  • 2/5 bader f. 2 years ago on Google
    The bar has a good amount of screens, beer is good. Food on the other hand is a different deal, avoid this place if you’re looking to grab a bite

  • 4/5 Ely for E. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place gets busy around football games but otherwise nice place to play pool/snooker and watch the games Staff are nice too Not been enough to give a 5 star yet

  • 5/5 Jack N. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to while away an hour playing pool and hanging out. No singing drunks, which is unusual in town on a Saturday afternoon and all the better for it. Friendly staff. Nice food.

  • 3/5 Paula U. 2 years ago on Google
    If you're a woman, be prepared to be the only woman in there on a Saturday afternoon, generally smells like a boys bedroom. Pool tables are clean and well maintained. Cues are 98% in good condition..mega busy on match days and service can be slow. Watch out for the cashier scanning a card instead of yours so you don't get your points. Bar service a bit slow. Toilets immaculate

  • 5/5 Graham P. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff where all welcoming and it was a very nice atmosphere

  • 5/5 LuDster 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to meet mates and play a few games of Pool (or Darts) 👍. Costs about £10/hr, tables are in good condition with plenty of space (tables/seats) around them. Loads of TVs with Football/Sport on, as well as an area with seats and a BIG TV. Drinks are pretty reasonably priced, staff are friendly.

  • 1/5 joanne b. 1 year ago on Google
    Went in with an enquire on Sunday the staff didn't no anything about what I was asking but was given a card to ring the manager on so was ringing most of Monday morning no answer drove back up manager didn't come out the office but the member of staff on duty was very helpful left half an hour later rang back up to make a booking and no one answers the phone after saying to the member of staff ad been trying to ring most the morning and was told they don't answer till after 12pm but was trying till 9pm last night and still no one answers the phone don't no if there's a fault on the phone line or they just don't answer the place in general looks a nice place clean popular but if you r wanting to Speke to the staff you have no chance unless u go into the place

  • 5/5 eatthemuffinman 1 year ago on Google
    good quality tables, most of the members are very pleasant and they show the footie on a projector. All round decent place for a laugh.

  • 4/5 Lewis F. 1 year ago on Google
    It is what it is Staff was rude. No one seems to clean through the night. But pool table was good

  • 5/5 Norma S. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jordan D. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great pool hall and good place to socialize if you are ever in Liverpool. Staff are amazing, Maria, Liam, Owen and Jimmy are always friendly and welcoming. Cleaning standards are high. Would highly recommended to any of my friends or family!

  • 5/5 Asthma A. 1 year ago on Google
    I used to live Croydon and there took down rileys years ago since I moved up to Liverpool been here ever since. I love it here plus when I rack up the pool balls I always forget where there go found this picture in the mens toilet now I know 😂 great place great atmosphere great staff worth going down for.

  • 3/5 Nathan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff abit 'hap hazard' as i asked for an 8ball table and was given a 9ball table, when explained that I asked for an 8ball table, i was accused for asking for an AMERICIAN table, alot of muttering under staff members breath and accusing me of lying.

  • 5/5 Mart B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for a quick beer but ended up in there for ages. Played pool and darts. Got to be honest, the staff were fantastic, couldn't do enough for us! Place was really busy but they made us really comfy. I think the manager's name is Jimmy, and he was dead chatty and mate us feel really welcome!! 5 stars

  • 5/5 Abigail T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, lots of fun. I was served several times by a tall blonde lass called Emma and she couldn't have been more attentive, nothing was too much. Brilliant experience would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Dan Kelly (. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff members were extremely helpful today when dealing with an aggressive man who was hostile towards us whilst playing snooker. I've always loved playing in rileys Liverpool and knowing the Staff are there to help has really secured my place as a long term customer. I do forget the names of the staff members but I will say that I know every staff member is there to help and they always provide a top notch service. Lovely to see brand new cues and ball trays too! Cheers x

  • 5/5 Jack C. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is very spacious with plenty of pool tables, darts boards and TV’s. Prices are also fair compared to other sports bars around. The staff were lovely and very willing to help, Hia in particular was amazing and very kind, kudos to her. Would recommend for a group of friends or family.

  • 5/5 Abla B. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place with great service. I come here often with my friends and mates, and we have so much fun every single time. One of the best places in liverpool. Also HIA's service is great ! She's sweet and kind. I really appreciate her hard work

  • 5/5 Shrieking V. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to Riley’s for a birthday for a friend and the woman serving us was incredibly helpful about the deals and offers on the pool tables, I think she was called Emma, tall blonde woman, extremely helpful and we stayed there for a good few hours before moving on to town. Would recommend, also, pizza was top notch!!

  • 1/5 Eduard M. 1 year ago on Google
    I play billiards on a semi-professional basis and I believe that the tables are too dirty for the price per hour you pay (table 28). Also, they charge for a whole hour and the lights go out after 50 minutes... a rip-off in my opinion.

  • 3/5 Dave F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great casual sports bar for any level of skill. Everyone is there for a common purpose so no trouble and people very courteous of space. Drinking is very expensive in here so just use it as a sports hall and it's good.

  • 5/5 richard M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a fantastic night out here for our works team building event. Pool and Darts pairs competition, I am not that good at either but we all had a ball! The place was immaculate and the service was second to none, the drinks kept flowing along with the laughter and the Burgers are sublime. I can honestly say that from the moment we got there to the moment we left we were treated like VIP’s!! Really hope we do this again soon. I cannot recommend enough
