Rock & Reilly's Irish Pub on Sunset Bl in West Hollywood is a place I've been to many many times for the last 5 years, so this review is way overdue.
It Was post St Patrick's and Taco Tuesday, and was meeting my bestie for HH. We over ordered: all the tacos: brisket, chicken and fish tacos, the All American All Vegan Beyond burger, buffalo cauliflower and drinks: the ginger bitch and the skinny vodkarita for me.
After tasting every item we ordered, I was pleasantly surprised all the food were tasty with the exception of the buffalo cauliflower. I would have preferred the cauliflower florets just be seasoned and fried crispy and have the buffalo and blue cheese sauces as dipping side options. These florets were fried but then were a bit soggy due to the buffalo sauce it was showered wet in. Crispy is better and just put the sauces on the side. Favorite were the crispy fish tacos with the zesty green salsa aguacate (avocado) topping. The Beyond All Vegan Burger was very tasty good and can fool you into thinking you're eating a cheeseburger patty fully loaded with fixings between light ciabatta buns, yummers.
I'm not a big fan of sweet cocktails but wanted to try some Rock n Reilly's signature Irish drinks: the Ginger Bitch was citrusy and potently refreshing. One of my favs is the skinny vodkarita, so yummy and less sugary, hence the name skinny.
This pub has several tv monitors to watch sports, piped in rock n roll super cool music and draws a cooler, hip crowd...it was fun. The overall decor is reminiscent of one of the Room sections of the infamous Temple Bar in Dublin, Ireland where I visited years ago. The ceiling looks heavy metal swanky, the exposed brick walls cool, and some rock n roll pics of notable rockstars adorn the walls.
Service was very attentive and cool towards me and towards Fendi. Although Fendi sat on my bestie's lap for our entire visit, the staff were friendly cool with my furbabe. The hostess, bartender, server were all knowledgeable about the food and drinks menu to make great suggestions. Rock n Reilly's holds an annual block party in honor St Patrick's and it gets super crowded, with loud crazy beer chugging people, people wearing emerald green, including midget leprechauns and a lot of fun. It's not my scene but perhaps it's yours and seems to be a FUN party time in this Irish Pub on the Sunset strip.
