Riley's Pub — Restaurant in St. Louis

If I could give it a zero I would, my husband and I just recently purchased a place in the neighborhood so we thought we’d check it out. Obviously we’re black and literally soon as we walked in it was an instant unwelcoming atmosphere. The bar tender ignored us until she considered herself done chatting it up with some other folks that again obviously weren’t of the same ethic background as us.
