What a cool place to hang out and have a great meal. Looks like a soccer game was happening and outside people were really enjoying it and singing. Our server was amazing. Our food was really good as well. [...] Also, if you park in the garage they have a QR code on the door for 4 hours free parking. Awesome. We loved it here and look forward to coming back. Highly recommend. A good place to chill and have a great time.

[YELP] I love the liveliness, unique decor and the soul & spirit of Ireland that they transported here to Austin. It is rare to have a culturally/nationally authentic feel to a restaurant/bar these days. Got the fried pickles - tasty, it was my first time trying and I'm usually not a huge fan of pickle. Very flavorful and light enough batter, great dipping sauce. Their blackened tuna with rosemary potatoes were yummy as well. Exceed my expectations for bar food. Love that they always have some kind of English sports on the screens and the vibe there was great - people are happy to be there.

First, this place was amazing. It's probably the best fish and chips that I've had. The Poutine was enormous and incredible. I brought the fish and chips home. She had her reuben sandwich, and everything was incredible. Raven our waiter took care of us. And the place was fun as you can see from the pictures. This is in one of the sections of Mueller.

An absolute must stop when in Austin, well worth the drive. The service was impeccable. The food was outstanding. Three of us went We ordered three separate meals so we could try each one. The bangers and mash for the best I've had since I was in England, The traditional Shepherd's pie with lamb was an amazing, The Guinness gravy superb.

The service was outstanding. Hearing the history of the bar and it's seeing its uniqueness made the rainy trip to Austin special. I loved this place.

[YELP] Go here for a delicious burger and get ready for the best pour of Guinness in the city! It is the perfect combo along with some of the friendliest staff. They also have a huge ceiling fan above the patio and portable heaters when it starts to cool off. Stop in even if it is just to wonder-gaze at the architecture of this beautiful pub that was built in Ireland and put back together in Austin. They are open 365-days a year [...] It is one of the few places left in atx where the manager will stop by your table to say hello and make sure your needs are being met. I can also say that you can plant yourself there and never be told your time is up like more and more places are starting to do. I just love B.D. Riley's so much, can you tell?
