Jerk Riley’s Billiards and Irish Pub

Rarely do I give poor reviews, but this was obviously a bad day to be there for the first time. Asked for a certain beverage, only to find out they was out of it. Asked for a Mt. Dew, only to be told they was out of it also...so, I decided on water! Ordered the Shepherd's Pie, not a good selection at all. The beef was tough, and it was more of a soup than anything. Liked the atmosphere, but unfortunately that was it...maybe it's better at night!

I lived it all across the board. The ten dollar Rachel special is unbeatable.

I got a pepperoni pizza. I thought it was going to be a step up from the chains around here. I was wrong. Crust bland, cheese not melted, and to beat it all they had to remake it because they gave my original to someone else. That's a skip from me!!!

Awesome food!! All of the staff are very friendly, including their delivery person! Truly helped us out when we were recently snowed in and there were no regular Door Dash deliveries that night due to the inclement weather. They decided someone who was on regular shift volunteered to get it to us. To me, that says a lot about an establishment, make it work for their customers. The food was so delicious, well worth the money.

Thank you again, we truly appreciate the offer of getting our food to us. Everywhere we contacted was either not delivering from Door Dash or the businesses had no power due to the storm. We can't wait until the weather breaks!

We finally made it in!! Fantastic atmosphere! Harley Kelly was playing a live show. Loved the vibe overall. The pitcher of Mai Tai was delicious. We also tried a few more tasty drinks before playing a few games of darts. Folks at the bar got a chuckle out of us playing darts. It's a pretty good-sized place. Two dart boards, three pool tables, and some slot machines in the back room.

Not for seniors. Uncomfortable High seating. Lots of liquor. Location of this bar could be unsafe, especially at night. Employees were friendly.

We had our 1st meal here on Friday at noon for lunch.
We have avoided the evening experience, because we have heard it is a local favorite.
WELL LET ME TELL YOU, WE WILL BE BACK FOR LUNCH SOON !!!
The Reuben lunch special is wonderful. We are Reuben lovers,
and JR's is at the top of OUR list.
I could eat their fries for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Service was excellent as well.
Our server mentioned she is from the state of FL, and Riley's is fortunate to have her working with them.

Nice place with plenty of security to make sure everyone has a good time, food could definitely be better, have ate there twice now and will go back for drinks and atmosphere but definitely not for dinner.

Easily my favorite local go to spot. The bangers and mash are amazing! The drinks are always on point and the staff always makes you feel welcome. Everyone's friendly and the events they hold are always a blast. The live music is always top tier ! Highly recommend 👌

And ask for Joe's Margarita!!!!!! Only $3 during happy hour and to die for!

I went here with my boyfriend and dad. My boyfriend and I got the fish and chips and my dad got the bangers pizza. We tried the deviled eggs and pretzel as appetizers. The good and service were great. It's somewhere we'll come back to!
