About This Pub
Ah, Riley's Taproom and Wine Bar – what a lovely spot it is, isn't it? From what I've gathered, it's one of those places that really hits the mark for a good night out or a relaxed afternoon. The beer selection is just brilliant; Michael's clearly got a passion for it, with 14 taps and rotating guest ales that keep things exciting for us beer enthusiasts. And don't get me started on the wines – Jules has picked out some absolute crackers, with flights and over 25 by the glass, making it easy to explore without breaking the bank. Pair that with their artisan small plates and platters, which are locally sourced and perfect for sharing, and you've got a recipe for a great time. The staff are so welcoming and on point, always ready with a recommendation or a smile, which really makes the place feel like a second home. Events like live music on Sundays or those wine tasting evenings add a nice touch of variety, keeping the buzz going. On the flip side, it's a shame it's shut on Mondays, and the food options can be limited on certain days, so you'd want to plan around that if you're hoping for a bite. Still, for anyone in Chorley or popping by, it's well worth a visit – honest, it's got that balance of quality and fun that makes for a memorable pint or glass.

Fantastic real ale, craft beer and wine bar. Always a fantastic selection of beer and wine on. Food is amazing. Staff are so attentive and friendly. The best place in chorley.
We went in to Chorley yesterday for a couple of cocktails and was recommended to try Riley’s. We went in and didn’t leave. Extensive wine list amazing cocktails and the food was great. Really enjoyed our day out.
I have walked on by with Dione Warwick and Paulicarus a few times without giving this bar a moments thought. I think Riley's infers an Oirish bar. As it is on the Chorley real ale trail we decided to knock it off. Turns out we love it. Three real ales on handpump. Paulicarus had a Pentrich brewery bitter and then a new Manchester brewery..Green Arches. So had to try their stout. Both lovely. A lovely interior plus a few outside seats. Perfect on a sunny September Saturday. Food looks tempting.
Great place for good food and drink! The sharing board was fantastic, and a really good selection of beers and wines. Definitely want to go back and try some more of the menu.
Great new wine bar with relaxed atmosphere. Enjoyed sampling their platters of cheese and meat - locally sourced - delicious with a glass of Malbec. IPA beer on offer and freshly made cocktails too!
