    This is an after work spot for my mom and her friends which I have joined on occasion for an after work drink and apps as well. Their onion rings and jalapeno poppers are amazing! It's typical bar food, but they do it well. Great prices and friendly people. Our waitress always remembers us and knows our drinks right when we come in! Great place!

    I checked out this place with a Groupon. Really nice staff and felt welcome as soon as we walked in the door. Their staff is equally as attentive as well. Had the Southwest Chicken Wrap, probably one of the best wraps I've had. They have good specials and reasonable prices.

    Great place to meet friends, listen some music and have a few drinks and casual food.! I visited there in September 2007 and enjoyed it.

    Great neighborhood bar. I ordered the wings. The best wings in dupage. Lots of meat, crispy and great sauce. I got the bourbon and blue cheese for dipping. It is not expensive and close to my house. :) cant wait to be back.

    Great place at low prices. It has an older bar feel but very upgraded from a technology standpoint. They have multiple TVs in there. The staff is great.... Kind of like your friends. They have really good food as well. Great place to just hang out with friends. Even if yours aren't there you will make some new ones.

    Fabulous place. Comfortable atmosphere run by friendly decent people. Certainly not fancy but good fare at fair prices. Great daily specials. Saturday burger and chips for $2.

    Hmm . . .me in the suburbs on a Saturday night? Rarely. If a friend's band hadn't been playing at Riley's I doubt I would have ever wandered in here- let alone find the place. If the suburbs are all about strip malls- then the location of Rileys is a double whammy. Not only is it in a strip mall- it is on a secondary street kitty-corner behind the strip mall so you have to be looking to find Rileys and even then it is easy to miss if you are coming from the north. As I pushed open the door- two things became apparent. One- that I was suddenly in a knotty pine paneled bar that was reminiscent of a northern Wisconsin bar in terms of sights and smells. And two, that this place was packed with an interesting collection of people here to see the band who must have all been "regulars" as they were each greeted by name as they walked in the joint! While we didn't eat- we did drink plenty of beer which was cheap and the servers were great at keeping them coming all night long. The bartenders were also fun- making sure that we had everything we needed. And just when we thought the "fun" was over after the band stopped playing- what starts up but karaoke! Boy, it was quite a night in Elmhurst! On the nights when there is no band- there is a jukebox to satisfy whatever your taste and bar darts to amuse yourself with. If you are looking for a neighborhood place where they all know your name (as long as you live in Elmhurst) then look no further than Rileys. The beer is cheap, the service spot on and everyone once in a while you can see a band called "The Dilfs" playing and singing their hearts out.

    Locals yelling at the Blackhawks game on tv and some nachos. That sounds about right and I'm strangely ok with that. The server was nice and friendly - almost too worried that everything was ok. Maybe we seemed too obvious as not regulars. As for the food we had a little of everything and it was your basic bar food. Quesadilla and nachos were pretty good but nothing special. Cheese curds were a little lacking but when you have had the real squeeky thing everything else is just a bad mozz stick. The wings were jumbo and nicely sauced. I had a southwest wrap that featured some of the most dried out chicken Ive had in a while. All the salsa in the world couldn't help it. Also the philly cheesesteak needed some work. Basically stay with the fried food and the apps as far as I can tell. This place was more of a grab a beer after work or maybe a bunch and stumble home. Save your money for beer and pass on the food or stick with the wings and fried food. Keep your eyes open too its tucked away and you will drive past it at least once - I promise you.

    Easy to miss.....behind the strip mall at York and Valette. An ok neighborhood bar with a touch of Irish. Mostly locals. Generally a younger set, but not as rowdy as you might expect. Typical ordinary bar food.

    I love Riley's. It's really close to my house so I might be a little biased but it's a great place to grab a few beers with some friends. Reasonable prices, friendly staff, and occasionally a regular buys you a drink. I can't comment on food since I've never had it, but I've never had a problem with any of the drinks. Usually a good crowd, and very few drunk d-bags like you'd see at Fitz's or Charlie's.
