As you all know, Riley’s Pour House suffered a catastrophic fire on November 14, 2024 that destroyed the entire pub. While the pub building and contents were destroyed, fire couldn’t touch what mattered most: 40 years of unforgettable memories built around food, music, drink, and great craic. One silver lining has been the outpouring of love and support from the Pour House’s friends and neighbors in Carnegie and throughout the city. This support made it apparent that the Pour House was more than just a watering hole – it was and will be again a community asset as a gathering place for family and friends, a stage for live music and a cornerstone of Carnegie’s business scene.
And while insurance proceeds cover a portion of the reconstruction costs, it is only a fraction of the expenses necessary to bring this neighborhood gem back to life. A group of volunteers, Friends of Riley’s Pour House, have organized a concert fundraiser, Raise a Glass for Riley’s Pour House, as well as other events to assist the Rileys in restoring this anchor of the community. For those unable to attend the Raise a Glass event, but who still wish to contribute, donations may be made directly through our GoFundMe page to help support the resurrection of Riley’s Pour House!
Includes admission, complimentary food, and access to all live music and entertainment. A perfect way to support Riley’s Pour House and enjoy a great day out!$35.00 at the door.
