Reviews of Rileys (now Shooters) Birmingham
We visited Shooters with friends on Saturday and had a good time! The first down fall for us was that we were heading to Broad St as did not realise the bar had moved and the Google maps link on the website was still linking to Broad Street.. that aside, when we arrived we were greeted by the super friendly and efficient Jason who was amazing! He made us all feel really welcome, found us a nice table and made our drinks faster than lightening. He was really pleasant to talk too and a really good laugh, a real credit to Shooters! The pitfall of this bar was how bloody freezing it was! Bear in mind this is December, there was no heating available as they had ran out of gas. I aged by 20 years sat using my coat and scarf as a blanket but I guess it was an excuse to buy more drinks to warm us up!!
5 stars for Jason, but you guys definitely do need heating!!!
Watch sports, play poo,l darts, drink.. great place
Favourite place for pool but service sucks sometimes
It's a good place to meet up with friends and family
Great pla c e to watch sports and play pool
Amazing, all you need. Staff is pretty agressive though.
Overpriced and costly with parking . Tables are decent
Love this Riley's. Definitely a go to when in Birmingham!
Really good place for the pool players.
Great food and a great place to play!
The price is good. One of the place that I went twice in a month.
Plenty of space and good quality tables. Totally impressive was the food menu and the quality of the food delivered. This far exceeded our expectations and many thanks to staff that accommodated our ad-hoc food and drink ordering. Great day for us.
Great staff great atmosphere .whats not to like
Excellent for English pool
Outdated decor
Needs a full refurb.
Good snooker place really fun!
Nice friendly place not too expensive
Last chance saloon. Always open. If you end up here I pity you
Good night but place looks run down
Good tables. Friendly staff.
Nice place to go with lads
Service was brilliant, atmosphere was great
Get weekly practices and good customer service
Great atmosphere in here. Snooker tables are £10 an hour and everyone I've been there there's been one free, they have darts downstairs for a pound and there's pool aswell. Drinks are cheap and staff are friendly.
Played pool enjoyed the live match
Really good atmosphere and really good staff
Best pool tables in town
Good game of snooker n pool
Bit soulless, toilets upstairs, quite expensive
Never been
Friendly staff and a good vibe
Great pub ! Great sports coverage
Great place to watch the football
Very good vibe and Great Staff
First time @ Riley's and despite there being so much to say, I hope to keep this brief:
- Gaming facilities are top class and excellent value
- Atmosphere is the most welcoming I have experienced in any Birmingham City Centre premise I have been too (I avoid the city at the weekend due to suffering from anxiety and generally finding the bar atmospheres exceptionally uncomfortable)
- Membership is great value for money and pretty much pays for itself in the welcome drink
- *MOST IMPORTANTLY* THE STAFF ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Thank you SARAH & TRACEY for keeping standards high and the attitudes real.
* Some new flooring and a jukebox would make this place perfect... But I guess I'm splitting hairs as I'll be back soon either way!
Many thanks and see you soon!
James.

Great place to chill
Amazing
Nice bar
Great fun
Nice friendly staff.
Great customer service
Show
Venue was very accomodating for a group of 16 of us.
Played couple hours pool during quiet period.
Little slow in responding on initial enquiry but once things were booked and we arrived it was a very good few hours.
Place was clean, relaxed environment and if I was local I would definitely go again.
Great sports venue
good sports bar
Very GDP
Chillin
Office pool night
Nice but expensive
Okay for pool
Just average teebs
Food excellence
usual hang out with a mate
Didn’t catch the name of the guy behind reception Saturday afternoon (had a beard), but he was super helpful. Set up a table tennis table for us on request. Staff generally fantastic, but agree with a previous reviewer that some of the pool tables could be changed to permanent table tennis tables to give a broader offering.
Nice atmosphere
Does what it says on the tin
Good service
Lovely place
Best service
good
Excellent!
Not too shabby,
Come on Watford
Friendly bartender!
Good range of activities available no issues with staff but poor selection of drinks that are way too expensive
Nice hospitality
Cracking snooker
Mind blowing
Great features and fun
Great afternoon, brilliant atmosphere
It’s like a what you see is what you get kinda place. Personally I love football and pool so it’s fills that hole perfectly.
Truly hilarious to read through comments of people moaning about food. I doubt an experienced chef is employed and if you’re going to Riley’s for decent grub then you’ve gone wrong somewhere along the line.
Nothings ever perfect though, like the toilets, which were pretty grim but apart from that I honestly can’t fault it as a place to go for football and pool.
In Birmingham for weekend, went with 3 mates to play American Pool on Sat afternoon. Good tables. Staff were excellent, couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Spent a great couple of hours playing pool and watching the screens.
Good size glasses if your into pints. 😀 Loads off pool tables if that's your thing but sports fans perfect for football, boxing ,UFC etc as they have many screens so their always something on, if not ask u will get
There's no more snooker tables upstairs. Down stairs still the same as before. Has the best American pool tables in town.
It's an ok billiards hall. Has everything required to play and socialize but that's all. It's quite dilapidated, old refurbishment, holes in walls, grotty toilet, old discoloured playing balls, etc, seen better days. Maybe a tired brand now after being around many years and run by disinterested owners (needs investment).
That said it's very easy to join and get a table - easy access, good bar selection, use any Riley's in the country with one membership, sports events on big TVs, etc.
May still look around for a more private club better run club.
We and my partner came from Malvern for a weekend in Birmingham and Dennis was wonderful from the second we walked in. Just seen the review about bad service last night and waiting times for service and I just have to say that I was there and this wasn’t the case. I was at the bar too and Dennis was incredible dashing between people! We had an great time and will definitely be back in the future!
Top class tables and cues. Choice of English or American. Great service and pay by the hour. Highly recommended
We come here every week for tournament practice. Tables are very good quality and kept in good condition. The staff are really nice and the place has a good atmosphere
Great club, good atmosphere!
Food menu was excellent, enjoyed the food and the manager Richard was was very helpful and made us feel welcome.
Can't wait to go back again!
Nice place for snooker!
Great place for some down time. Well maintained pool tables and range of sports tv. Complimented by excellent staff service. Could do with some small updates here n there!
came to Riley’s for the first time today, watched darts on the big screen which was great, Sarah and Dawna were amazing and helpful as well as welcoming, only thing I would like to say is upstairs was a lot colder and uninhabitable, probably in need of a refurb
It's was very busy when we went, looks like there was a tournament on
Had a good atmosphere overall
Very crowded always apologizing for someone nugding your shots etc
Cue sticks are in better shape then most other places
Isn't that far from the train station either less then 10min walk
Went there for a work do. The barman "Ice" was amazing! Absolutely made our night and made us all feel so welcome! Wil deffo be back if Ice is around!
Friendly staff. Good tables. Great place to social with friends & watch the footy
Well where do I begin !!! Sarah was amazing tonight and very helpful with booking in and drinks .she could not help my family out enough New Year’s Eve !!!!! She made us feel special and helped to explain game rules to us on a very busy night !!! I would recommend any pool freaks to come here ,it’s a great atmosphere and clean . Please come and enjoy the fun !!!!!!!!!!!! Happy new year to all the staff . Well don SARAH XX
Found this hidden gem a few years back and we keep coming back with the lads for rugby days. Great friendly service, good beer, brilliant screen and comfy chairs... what more could you want for!
Pool and TV screens are good. Burgers are cheap but awful and the beer on tap tastes watery.
Table tennis table is falling apart and the cheapest bats ever. Not worth hiring
Great spot. Spent a few hours here playing pool, watching sport and drinking beer. Good value during the week. Happy hours on selected beers.
Buzzing this place stayed open so we could watch the fury fight and have a few games of snooker while we waited. Door staff were great and so we're the bar staff.
Only go if you like pool or snooker. They serve coast to coast on draft which is lovely, The movie poster for "Ted 2" in the loo always cheers me up. The film came out nearly 3 years ago.
Thanks to Sarah and simon for a brilliant night for my mates stag only downside can't choose our own music. ..what was being played is awful the toilets were clean but need a facelift will return
Had a great night made even better by the hospitality of the staff Richard and Sarah were great ... The food was really nice and the beer was very refreshing the only downside is the toilets they are dated an I need of repair other than that I can't fault the place be back very soon cheers guys
Great spot. The tables here are in immaculate condition. Reasonable prices for both the tables and the drink. Would highly recommend it.
Decent, got a good variety of table games (Ensligh & American Pool, Snooker, Table Tennis) as well as a few others such as darts and poker. Surprisingly decent food too.
First time visiting the new home for Bierkeller and the drinks were fine, atmosphere great as this was a R&B Brunch event. What I found disgusting was that all the ladies toilets had no seats, this may be a new thing, but not for me.
Enjoyable place to go. Reasonable prices for games, and sports on the TVs. The drinks prices are a little high, and they stop people indiscriminately from playing darts at a certain time.
Could do with a clean and their lines being cleaned for the beer. Tables needs redoing but for a few quid for an hour, you can't moan.
We had such a great time thank you so much sarah for being attentive and taking care of everything for us.. very warm and welcoming from start to finish I will be coming back
Great place to watch live sport, the gaffer is brilliant and the screens are great. The building is a bit tired though but will definitely be back again
Pleasing atmosphere with pool, snooker, darts and sports of the TV. The only thing that drops it from a 5 to a 4 star was the decor. It Could do with an update.
In a word average. Good selection of games. Fairly standard drink selection, with somewhat lifeless staff (though this could just be towards non - regulars).
The Marks and Spencer's of Snooker in my opinion. If I ever find myself stranded in town one day, I could happily play snooker all night.
Great place to play pool and darts etc. Good selection of beers/spirits and friendly staff. Great place for a day out
Great location for pool, darts and beer. Richard is a great host and helps make the experience superb. Great place to visit.
Thank you Sarah for such a great night she is the best barmaid I've ever met very friendly and welcoming be back soon
Child friendly relaxing bar, snooker and pool hall , 2 giant floors of entertainment with plenty of screens showing the sports. Many offers to be took advantage off too. Come here and escape the busy streets of Birmingham city centre. Be aware tho many of the table have had drinks spilt on them then dried. However a clean environment and I will be returning
Not very good heating
You'll have to pay for membership, unless you're a student. They have a fairly good place for watching a match and enjoy a beer.
I come here after work for a game with friends whenever we can. Good service deserves a good review, and the naysayers here, well... you get the attitude which you project!
Desperately need to sort the drink promotions out. It's just too expensive to drink in there for a period of time. Tables and food are good too
Pool 🎱 9 ball, snooker, darts, beer and snacks. No bitter but good choices otherwise. Open 24/7! Always liked Rileys
Outstanding service, very welcoming,really enjoyed the sweet potato fries so i ordered some more.
Look delicious, the more you eat, the more you have an appetite. I usually eat very little, but in this shop, I have a big appetite.
Snooker/pool hall, table tennis and table football. Pretty good tables at a decent price. Drinks pretty expensive though.
Excellent customer service and excellent pool tables. Friendly environment and good food.
Nice tables. Decent atmosphere. Not a massive selection of drinks though.
Good place to play pool, no snooker as of yet (June 2021) and does feel a bit dated inside. Aswell as this perhaps they could spread their tables out more as more often than not you will bump in to someone.
Beer was reasonable, staff were pleasant, though you need to wear a T-shirt as it is warm in there.
Came here after lots to drink with some mates. Had a great time playing pool. Drinks VERY steep though
The place is lovely and friendly except for the fact that the staff stink of skunk in there all the time mind you that's probably why they're so friendly
Bit tired if you look closely. Staff great, Dawna, food all fried but good, wings great
Well done to Richard who was stellar all weekend for our Pool Tournament. Great stuff.
Pretty good, good number of tables in good condition. Not in the nicest part of town, but usually an OK atmosphere inside
Friendly manager, quiet, good atmosphere
Had not been there for a while. Great place to relax and play a bit of pool.
This is a membership only place, with £5 membership. The prices for pool are good, beer is OK, and is open late
Old school place, lots of pool tables, darts and a good atmosphere. One of a kind
Good tables and always something available. Beers bit expensive and no food.
Good tables and cues. Wouldn't recommend the food or drinks though
Love this place for darts and pool, it's a great place to grab a drink and socialise.
Love going to play snooker and pool, staff are always friendly x
Nice place with good snooker tables. I am a huge fan of snooker and occasionally drop by for a set or two.
Awesome service from dennis, people came in at 23:00 with so he priortised his customers and gave a happy service
Thank you to Sarah great server, friendly atmosphere, friendly, bubbly attendant good food
great place for snooker and pool
Great pool and snooker hall. Very helpful staff.
Good all round sports bar amazing facilities probably the biggest screen in the town centre
Some staff are nice, reasonable prices and cues are ok. Fair atmosphere
Improved 100%... New staff, new drinks, new toilets!
Fantastic venue for pool and snooker, as well as drinks and live sports
Didn't get to stay long because it closed early but this is the kind of place you want to go shoot pool.
Affordable pool and drinks. Good tables and atmosphere
It's an alright place to watch the game with friends or play some pool. Food is ok-ish.
Very good bar wig loads of pool and snooker tables
Dave behind the bar top guy the place itself great times open or close love beat rileys arou d
The pool tables are smooth, not profesional, but good enough
Great place for people to hang out and play some pool
Could do with some tlc inside.. lick of paint and some new flooring wouldnt go a miss
You just need to come down here, the service, the place, the food and Sarah man .. she’s is something else! She’s so real man we need more people like this! PLEASE COmeeee
If you're there for pool, it's good. It's £9 an hour or £18 for 3 hours. The table cloths are a little shabby, but good cushions and average cues for a joint like this. They have more American pool than UK tables, but both are available. Not sure if the drinks are cheap, but I know they're not expensive. There's a screen hooked up to a projector and other TV screens. Here's the downside - the seating area for the TV is in the throwing area for the dart boards. There are broken or uncomfortable seats. The music won't be to everybody's taste.
Nice and clean. Good place for snooker and pool.
Great atmosphere, staff were brilliant, the thank you tyahna for the experience ☺
Great night at rileys for the boxing thanks to sarah and richard for looking after is be back soon
Great hangout spot to have a drink, watch some sport and play some pool
Great for a game of snooker or pool, bar and foods too
Played a load of pool and drank a few drinks.
A pretty chilled place!
Snooker and pool table are not that well looked after could do with a refurb
Not too busy and prices aren't bad in the off peak hours. Lots of TV screens for watching the football
Standard pool and snooker club. Fair prices and beers to match.
🔥 awesome place
