Rileys is a British sports bar chain. Once a division of the Riley sporting goods company,[1] it currently is an independent entity with headquarters in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.[2]
At its peak, the chain boasted 165 locations.[3] Historically known as a pool hall operation, it went through several restructurings, with recent marketing efforts emphasizing the sports watching component.[4]

In snooker, the chain has hosted a developmental tournament endorsed by Ronnie O'Sullivan, called Future Stars of Snooker.[5] In darts, some locations hold amateur qualifiers for the UK Open, a Professional Darts Corporation tournament.[6] Table tennis is another featured activity, with several locations registered with Table Tennis England's Ping! discovery programme.[7][8]
