Riley's Pub: Riley's (continued)...

Riley's Pub had caught my eye because it was colorful and rustic. As I was considering the menu posted on the window, an exiting young lady gave it a hearty recommendation.

Favorite Dish: One meal is hardly a basis for having a favorite dish, but my Reuben Sandwich was very nicely done. You don't always get good corned beef in the midwest, but this passed the test, and the other ingredients were very nice.

Riley's Pub: Landmark Cafe & Pub

Built in 1890, this building has served many businesses, but is now once again a pub. Several elements from the original 1890s bar still remain - the stain glass window (left top), the back bar, the tin ceiling, the tile floor in the front room.

Other than for Guinness and the green decorations, I didn't see much that was Irish about Riley's, but I may have just missed it.

Warning - if cigarette smoke bothers you as much as it does me, you might want to go somewhere else. The place is small and cramped (see photo in my next entry) and lots of places in Missouri don't allow non-smokers the right to eat without breathing other peoples vices.

Favorite Dish: See my next entry for Riley's.
