Riley’s Sports Bar

This place has been closed for almost 3 years, it was was a decent bar, nothing fancy.

So there is a new owner of the bar! He is apparently a Frank Sinatra singer and performs on certain nights. The bar has that rat pack bluesy lounge vibe. It’s clean! Ambient lighting with a dance floor, high and low tables and a VIP section with comfy couches. This was our first time here and Brenna was bar-​tending. Super sweet and cute! They have beer on draft and bottles running around $ 6. We’ll drinks are $ 5 on weeknights, $ 6 when there is entertainment. Top shelf is around $ 10. It’s only been open a month and not too many people know about it now. I say check it out! There is a jukebox too!

This venue is closed for business. (As of 21 June 2013)

A decent venue — but can’t seem to attract enough people for an ongoing dance night.

Go elsewhere!!! This place is run by a mutha fucken racist pig!!! I asked for a napkin and the mutha fucka told me to get it myself!!! What??? After I spent MY hard earned money??? Never again!!! I hope everyone sees this!!!

I went here once and it’s not as bad as everyone here makes it out to be. It actually has a pretty large area for live music and cheap drinks, along with free parking. This isn’t a place to go if you’re looking to rub elbows with the rich and classy, it’s actually kinda white trash, with the same people running outside to smoke cigarettes every five minutes, but who cares? If you want a club style lounge, try downtown or La Jolla, but for a rainy weekday karaōke session, Rileys works fine.

I love that all the douche bags gave this place a low rating, it keeps them away! I love the characters and the bartenders, the karaōke is very entertaining. Love this place.

Never again! We went to see some friends bands. I was the designated driver and the person paying the tab for 2 friends. After I had a couple of drinks I moved onto soda water and they flipping charged me and gave me attitude. The barman/​owner? flicked a beer cap and it hit me in the face. He never even turned around to see where it landed. A gentleman next to me ordered a drink and he pulled a hair out of his glass that was frozen into the ice cubes! AND the beers and anything that came out of their fridge were lukewarm at best. Service was slow and rude. I HATED everything about this place.

horrible!!! the place is going under and now i know why, the owner!!! after sexually harassing my girl friends and being a pervert all night i would never go back and recommend you do the same!!! bad business!!!

Went to this bar because of a friend of mine performing with his hip hop group and I was surprised with how spacious this place actually was. Not to mention they have a few pool tables, dart boards, juke box, and a huge display of liquor bottles behind the counter. However, I don’t know if it was because they were busy that night or what, but the bartenders will ignore you until they feel like serving you. The first time we walked up to the bar we waited for over 10 minutes to get the attention of someone and it was just rude to be ignored for that long each time the bartenders walked passed us. Not one word letting us know they would be with us in a minute, and they didn’t even give us eye contact to let us know that they saw us.
I had ordered a beer named Train Wreck from the tap since I’m a huge beer geek and had never heard of this beer before. After tasting this beer it was clearly obvious they had just hooked up a Bud Light or Natural Ice to that particular tap, and served it to me without any remorse of ripping me off. I later found out my instincts were right because after searching the internet only one brewery in the country makes a beer named Train Wreck and they don’t distribute to California.
Shame on you guys for fooling people into buying a cheap ass Macro beer under some fake name.
We then ordered a pitcher of Ballast Point Yellow Tail and they ran out so we paid half price for a half pitcher, but the beer tasted so flat and nasty that it probably been sitting in that bar for months or they don’t properly clean their tap lines.
The cool things about this place are the restrooms which are part of the hotel, so they have cleaning staffs who is taking good care of cleaning it and not letting it turn into a dungy bar bathroom. And, since my friends group went on stage near 2 A.M. they only let them perform one song, so that’s why this place is getting a 1 star rating. Only hand those out to the worst of the worst.

My experience can be summed up in one word: WOW.
From the odd disco lighting, to the odd array of seating, to the CROCKPOT and COMMUNAL MICROWAVE, this place definitely a place to remember… and that’s not necessarily a good thing.
I also got the most disgusted and frankly offended look from the bartender when I ordered… GASP…A MARTINI! Apparently that is a tall order to make at a bar of all places!
I don’t know why anyone would choose to hang out here and the only reason that we came was because a friend’s hip hop group was performing. We spent the majority of the evening playing the card gambling machines and were posted up at the bar.
If ever I should find myself here again, I’ll definitely bring some meatballs so we can have a real party!

Oh good god, where do I even start.
The bartenders here on the night I went were also apparently the owners. I sat down at the bar, infront of a station. I pulled out money, set it on the bar, and attempted to make eye contact with a bartender/​owner.
After 15 minutes, I had the bartenders walk past me, but not a single «hello», «be right with you», or «what can I get you» was uttered. Being the cocktail connoisseur that I am, I loudly asked what someone had to do to get a drink at this establishment. Yet again, ignored. Great. At this point I really needed a drink. Luckily, a young lady with dark brown hair took my order, and informed me it was happy hour for another 2 minutes, and all well drinks were $ 3. So she let me pay ahead for a second drink, which was cool of her to do.
After my second cocktail however, I left. the bar was oddly well lit, so I could see everything in great detail. Not a good thing at this place. Yikes. Clientele tends to be young, dumb, and full of … sailors. The NEX is right next door, so it’s no surprise, but these guys looked barely 21 and away from home for the first time. Over indulgence of alcohol and testosterone was swirling around here.
I left after one young guy wearing nothing but a pair of underpants puked on another guy.

I went to this bar with my friend whom was DJ’n that night and apparently it is male stripper night on Sundays. It goes from bar to stripper night around 9 ish. They are black strippers and they were old and unattractive. I think, THINK, I saw one cute dude. The girls that paid to see the show, $ 10, were tacky. Besides that though the bartender was awesome and made great drinks.
There is also a hotel right next door and a Denny’s 2 minutes away. I need to go on another night because the Sunday night action didn’t work for me.

We just came to get a drink, but right at the door they wanted to charge us cover. He was going to charge my friend $ 7. THIS PLACE WAS DEAD! My white friend came and they were going to charge him $ 9. Does he look rich or something, upping the price for whatever reason in less than a minute. I think they were racist. Well we won’t come here ever and I don’t recommend anyone coming here. Cover too high for a lame bar and an obvious racist place, by taking money however they please.

Never again. Bartender was total trash and not to mention trashed as well. Kept complaining everyone was asking for water. Dude, did you forget the dozen drinks we bought too???
This was a total crap bar.
HK’s parting shot: didn’t think a bar could be this trashy, but this took the cake.

Place sucks!

Bad selection of beer. I had a coupon for buy one domestic pitcher of beer, get one free, and decided on the Samuel Adams Winter Lager (in August?) and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Bartender was retarded or something and would not accept the coupon for the domestic beer because both are «imported from England».
Having with me neither an atlas of America or an American history book, I had no way to prove to this guy who Sam Adams was or what country Nevada is located in.

Chill…
Went there for a friend’s Bday on a Friday night.
The place is very nice which has pool tables, darts, stage, dance floor, large bar area.
Prices are really cheap for beers.
Bathrooms are really nice.
Ratio, guy to girl not too bad — ⁶⁵⁄₃₅.
Negatives include:
Hard to find parking.
Bands were playing all night (no DJ and dancing).

You like my homie Ryan wrote.. .I fully agree. .
BUT MY OH MY DOES A FEW MONTHS CHANGE THINGS!
There’s a good stage and lighting now.…this is more of a concert place.. more for the hip hop crown on Friddays. They do some other styles on other nights (I saw Jazz posters up for Sun or thursday’s)
No longer the dim lighted dance floor, but now there is no reason not to come here when there are performances going on.. .better sound from this small place than most venues of the same size.. .and I’ve been to a lot of them.

This place is Bennigans without the restaurant. You know, green walls, gold railings, octogonal shaped bar. The owner keeps the lights pretty bright (like restaurant lighting), and likes to serve drinks with neon straws. WTF? What am I? 5 years old? The drinks aren’t that strong, but they have pretty good specials. On Fridays, they have $ 3 you-​call-​its from 8 – 10.
There are like 20 parking spots in the lot, and most of them have a 10 minute limit on them. You can find street parking around the perimeter of the hotel (Quality Inn), so it’s not that bad.
There’s an elevated section, fully equipped with ONE pool table 2 black leather couches and a couple flat screens.
Pros:
cheap drinks
nice sized dance floor
Cons:
weak drinks
empty dance floor
bright lighting
silly straws
