Riley's Bar & Grill

Great local Bar.

Always a fun place to watch a game!

Miss this place already. Definitely going back.

Cheap drinks, friendly people. And don't forget the arcade games.

Fun, good drink specials!

Love seeing all the locals on fridays

The best college bar in Chico.

Sick ass place. Always live on weekends

If you know you know, its always the spot to go! Amazing people, music, cheap drinks and good vibes for your weekend nights!

Great place to have a beer or cocktail. Wednesday specials are half off beers and cocktails

I grew up here. I love this little bar more than the average wasted college kid could possibly fathom. Rileys is home.

Great local bar with plenty to drink and amazing food to soak up the booze!! Highly recommend!

Great food. Best drink specials in town. Can get a but loud though.

Always something going on here. Deals on the weekdays and Sunday Funday to finish it off, despite the long line you'll probably have a good time here

First time here! The Vibe is off the Hook Dope! Drinks is Flowing and The Peeps are the Just Dope!

Crazy but fun. If your over 30 may not be the spot for you.

Always a great spot to grab a quick couple drinks on my way downtown.

Man I miss his place so much. Great prices. Hot bartenders

Sunday funday is always a good time, staff there is great and had awesome service even when they were busy

Great people and environment, great deals for each day of the week highly recommended checking it out

Best Place and Bar in the world....if you don't like to have a good time then you will hate it.

Chico landmark. Everyone knows about Riley’s here!

There is nothing in this great bold world that compares to four years in Chico with Riley's bar.

Tuesdays are buck night always have a good time at rileys

Great place and great happy hour.

I'm here from Indiana visiting a friend and we decided to get some drinks Miranda out bar tender was super cool and made me feel super welcome to Chico couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Typical college bar. Normally overcrowded because alcohol is really cheap there. During happy hour you can get 2 shots for $1 ! Loud music.

Excellent bar, great drinks and servers. I didn't try the food, but heard good things about the Taco Salad. I would definitely go again.

Good bar. Big horseshoe bar. Great prices. Hannah's a great bartender.

Its cool. Some superficial "i got mad at daddy cuz he bought me the blue benz instead of the red one" type beezies in there, but everyone else is chill and the happy hour is dope too!

One of the best bars in Chico, and a must visit location when the sun is sleeping! Highly recommended, especially when looking for a fun time!

Allegedly a great time , honestly after 3 AMF I couldn't tell ya.

First time in the whole town for a week and the bartender/waiter Eric and Matt helped me and 12 guys with our go-to mixed-drinks/beers! On top of him, the establishment was super professional, attentive, mindful, and helpful! Our team of around 50-60 will be returning tomorrow evening for the celebration party! Thank you, guys! 😊

Amazing 🤩 went to Riley's as a Chico student and coming back as an alumni reminded me why Chico was and us the best!

GOOD DRINKS 🍹🍺🥤🍸🧉🍾🍷🥂🍻GOOD SERVICE.I DON’T REMEMBER THE REST OF THE NIGHT. GOOD SPOT

A great place to unwind..the service is amazing the conversation enlighting and the food is second to none. The Sierra on draft is at least as good as at the brewery. This is a must stop if you are ever in Chico. I came from Orlando and will be back.

#1 Bar in the nation!!!! You can't find a better place to eat for the prices. Especially Sundays Brunch. Only bad thing is youd think with a name like Rileys, you would find some amazing corned beef and cabbage.. Nope not even on St Patty's Day (a Chico National Party Day).. but one guy that deserves a huge shout out is the new cook, I found out he’s named, “Jonnie”. He is the best cook they ever had IMHO! He makes the BEST burgers and pastrami sandwiches in all of the NorthState. Guaranteed!!! If you're heading to Rileys.. even on a Monday, y’all better get there early! The line can be daunting at times. But if you want a great party place and some damb good food. And cheap drinks.. GO TO RILEYS IN CHICO!!

Best bar in town, IMHO. Great atmosphere and service. The wings were awesome, and the prices were fair

Got a Jocko Burger and some garlic fries and as always they're fantastic. The young college man behind the grill was very polite and attentive. The bartender's last week was very busy which was very impressive but she was also Hands-On and very polite. Used to party there along many Moon's ago now I'm just having a burger. Priceless

What a mad house. This place is crazy. It is absolutely one of my favorite places to go when I want to be packed into a bar like sardines with all of the greatest college people you can think of. The drinks are the most premium and Devine drinks in town! Sometimes your feet stick to the floor if you go later in the night, but it just makes the experience that much better and memorable. It is a great place to go, that offers great deals, and more than a fun time. Good for all ages above 21!

Great beer prices and the bartender is top notch. Great energy and friendly people. Update:. Still a great place to have a beer and some food. Had their breakfast burrito and it was fantastic. Bartenders are fantastic and work very hard.

How was surprised after $10 deal with two tacos chips and great pico de gallo quesadillas are huge, and the drinks are the best priced drinks in town will check accessible clean bathrooms comfortable seating must be over21

We didn't stop at the stop light. Oof.

Great booze, great service.

This a fun place to have cheap drinks

Very affordable prices and great happy hour deals.

A total frat bar, but it's still pretty good

Pretty fire, the shooters were good. Have a good time

Good food friendly service on TVs everywhere

Great for the Chico college bar experience!

The staff is awesome, the floors are not

Different deals on drinks almost every day, one the most popular college bars downtown

Great food, good service, decent prices. Great place for watching all the games.

If you want to party, Riley's is a classic. If you don't like crowds, college students, or cheap drinks, this may not be for you.

Above par bar food. Great quick service at bar. Cute women working.

It's a fun place if your young and in college. It's kinda dirty though. Drinks are cheap. Been coming here for years. Classic college party bar

Great deals but the place was at capacity and really messy and dirty. All the tables and surfaces are sticky, my shoes stuck to the floor pretty badly, and there was another area that had a ton of some kind of liquid..

Great bussers amazing services love how welcoming they are the bussers kill it !! bar tenders are great cool low key spot but still a great time

Perfect college bar scene. Only downside is there are a few sketchy people that were allowed in for some reason (meth head status), and the floors are extremely sticky. Other then that I've always loved the ambiance and the college student life style Rileys embodied. Bartenders are fast and efficient. It might take you a few minutes to get your drinks on a busy night but the staff isn't screwing around, they work as quickly as they can.

Riley's is very much your stereotypical college bar. Its packed, drinks are cheap, the floor is sticky, but that's the charm of it. There are nightly deals Tuesday-Friday like buck night and $6 pitchers. It's definitely a good place to go if you want to get drunk cheap and quick.

Meh. There's alcohol so that's cool.

Kinda stinky. Crowd is young. Beers are cheap. Ok joint

It's really small inside and you can hardly hear anyone. ...But that's just how Riley's is. Not for me, but I can understand how some people can enjoy it.

Definite hookup atmosphere. Crowded and hard to get a drink, but wasn't awful

Its a frat a sorority bar. Otherwise there are way better bars in chico.

It's okay, really hot inside and a lot of people. Alcohol is okay, not quality but okay.

It was ok if you are a college student but for us old folks s bit too noisy

if you're a college student wanting a place to congregate and have some fun with friends drinking, this place is fine. Would not recommended for any other purpose.

Totally a college bar. Totally!! They do have pool and a multi games old school video game machine. Just don't expect to meet your forever person there...

Meh. Cheapish drinks. But the place smells like vomit

Cheap drinks is the only reason to frequent this place.

If you like 2 inches to move in between people this place is great

Some of the workers were very rude and there was unlicensed girl serving alcohol to people without a bar tenders liscense

They don't have NFL Sunday ticket anymore

They had a puddle an inch deep seeping from both bathrooms into the bar area, smell was horrid, leaking ac above bar with brownish color, staff drinking on the job. (It’s fun but they forget drink orders etc.) Was a cool bar and drinks were great, fun place but it really needs to be better. I hope a health inspector doesn’t show up halfway through the night, you guys would be screwed

I came back as my sister said to give the place another chance but once again the bouncer was there and was rude again

Sticky floor. Rude staff. Broken glasses.

Crap place...that's my opinion though. Cheap drinks. They have Tuaca. Also EVERTHING in this place is permanently sticky. Gets WAY too crazy over packed most night.

Cheap drinks. Dirty place. Never been there to eat,but just seeing how dirty the place I don't think I will. The bathrooms reflect the place.

Everything you hear about this place is hype, the whole floor was sticky, the smell in the place was terrible, impossible to get a drink

Smelled like a wet sock. Was there for five minutes and nobody hit on me. :(

Expired ID no entry, California real id ain’t enough for the “best bar” lmao joke.

Riley’s is the least hospitable place I’ve ever been. When I was waiting for a ride at the end of the night, they kicked me and my friends out (

No social distancing whatsoever. Thanks for your service to the community Riley’s. Also watered down liquor. Ordered a tequila sunrise here and it was brown! BROWN!

Walked into the bar next door, tried going in and the bouncer said “my ID did not fit regulation” as it was out of state. Wasn’t surprised honestly, bouncer didn’t look like he could tell his left from his right

bartenders take way too long to serve. the mens bathroom is in complete disarray, and management doesn’t seem to care about the cleanliness of the place. has potential tho

This used to be my favorite place to eat back in the day. But I went in there today, and I will never go back. I waited about 1/2 an hour and my food wasn’t ready yet. The cooks are just joking around being lazy, and no sense of urgency. I said to myself “this is the worst customer service I have ever seen” and walked out. What happened to this place? Has Kevin Riley drinken his way to total incompetence? It sure seems that way! For those of you who don’t know, Kevin Riley lets his servers drink on duty, and has for years. Earth to Kevin, that is not a wise business move!

If you like being pushed around by drunk people and you like men woman or whatever touching you in who knows what place this is the bar for you. Age group about 18-21 saw the bouncers turn around people with fakes but then 10 minutes later they walk in with a new bouncer. This is probably the worst kind of bar for anyone that is above the age 22

Wow. Alright, so I’m new to Chico. It’s Sat. night, 1am. I walk in, get a beer at the bar, and stood there drinking it. No stools. I stood there in the same place, more or less people watching. I did move around a bit, but returned to where I was standing. The bartender chick who served me seemed cool at first. We made eye contact a couple times and I smiled back. Admittedly, I tried to strike up a conversation. Absolutely did not say anything even remotely weird. I asked her name, she asked me mine, and asked her if she was from Chico. She told me she was from/grew up in the same vicinity in CA as me also. Then she returned to working, and I stood there looking around while also waiting to see if she might talk to me again, since we already spoke. I did not stare or try to aggressively make eye contact, or whatever she must have felt I was trying to do. She had been drinking quite a lot behind the bar - I saw at least a few tequila shots within 25ish minutes. Then, a 6’6”, 250lb, 21 year old security boy walked up next to me with his flashlight in my face and said “you need to leave.” I was bewildered and asked why, what did I do? “You need to leave.” As I exited, I heard him say to his partner that I was being weird to the bartender chick. I am kind, polite, I’m 30’s, 6’2” and above average in appearance. This is the first time I’ve ever been made to feel like a creeper whatsoever. Just wanted to vent. It was mind-blowing for me on a personal level, and something I’ve never had happen. I think this isn’t the place for chatting up female bartenders; they take serious offense to it. Definitely not returning, although it looks like a good spot otherwise…I think it’s a sign I should quit going out!

prior to this incident, I was a fan of riley’s. I went with a guy friend and we were a couple drinks in, playing pool. I had told him to get us another drink and as he went up to the bar to order, they asked him to leave because he was too “drunk”. i knew he wasn’t even close to being too drunk, so i was furious when they kicked him out because they were clearly lying just trying to get people out before they closed, but you can do it a little more professionally. riley’s is so overrated and the way you get the pool ball back is you gotta pay a dollar. riley’s sucks now and their employees are trash. crazy horse is way better atmosphere and staff !!!!
