I never really have a bad experience. Sometimes the service is hit or miss, but that's sort of everywhere right now and when the place is busy it's real busy Dog and family friendly and good sized patio! Keep in mind everything is seat yourself and first come first serve and on nice days the patio non-barrel tables go quickly. The food is pub food, potato soup is good on a cold day in those two weeks of winter and I always tend to lean on the chicken strips - real chicken and lightly flavorful batter! This latest time I wasn't sure what I was feeling for a drink so I let the bartender decide "vodka or gin based, not sweet, more savory" and what I got was PERFECT although I can't remember the name now it was gin based with lavender. Solid and consistent

A solid pub with a great selection of beers on tap in proper sized pints and whiskey (unfortunately not available in pints). Great location, convenient parking garage with validation nearby, good proper Irish pub food. Irish Breakfast, stew, reubens, fish and chips. Muy bueno. Pints are priced very well especially considering the nicer neighborhood.

Nice bar in the Mueller area. Stopped in for a few beers after finding the place on Yelp while I was near the area. I would like to back and try the food.

We come to B.D Riley's pretty often, we always order the wings and the Irish nacho's (don't forget to add the corn beef!!) and always satisfied with both our food and our service! The wings are typically really big and they always load up the nacho's my boyfriend really enjoys their buffalo, it has a nice hickory flavor. We visited last night 1/2/2025 and were served some of the smallest wings we have ever been served at an establishment before. Love you B.D Riley's and hope this was just a one time thing.

I'm so glad I checked out the hoppin spot in Mueller! We felt lucky to grab a table inside at 6:30 on a chilly Friday evening. We were served pretty quickly considering how crowded the place was, and the service continued to be consistent throughout the evening. It's a lively pub made all the more authentic by the Irish band that started playing a little while after we got our food and drinks. It was super loud! Couldn't really hear one another talk anymore, but perfect if you're there to enjoy the music and drink. The patio usually looks busy when I pass by, especially when Liverpool is playing! The food was good pub food. All fried to perfection. I don't eat much fried food, but I couldn't resist trying their famous fish and chips. Worth it! Really cool spot to hang out and I'll be back.

I'm glad we stopped in for dinner! The food was great, and I was finally able to try a Yuengling! We don't have those in So Cal, so it was awesome to get to check that off my list, along with a Smithwick's red, and a Magner's cider. Those last two were suggested by Alex, which were great calls. He took great care of us, we'd definitely come back if we're in town again.

This place was nice. Everything was clean and organized looking. The waitstaff were all super friendly too. My husband got a beyond burger, I got fish and chips, and we also ordered an appetizer of fried pickles. The food was delicious with the exception of the pickles, they tasted weird almost fishy tasting, it was weird tasting and the texture was also weird, and so we really didn't eat much of them. The only issue we had was it took forever to get our check. I asked 2 different people, plus our waiter for the the check twice before we finally got it. Otherwise, it was a great experience and I'd totally visit again if in the area!
