Rock & Reilly’s created that iconic location on Sunset Strip and the recently opened version at USC Village, while having its own identity, would certainly make the Sunset Strip location proud.

Ginger Smash

What you are going to find is a lot of the same nuances that made Rock & Reilly’s on Sunset Strip so iconic, from the cocktails to the food the spectacular service. While a Guinness goes perfectly so many of the Irish food items on the menu, Rock & Reilly’s has an amazing 24 beers on tap. The highlight of the bar has to be the creative cocktail menus well as the assortment of Reilly’s own whiskey that pours at only $5 per shot.

It begins with the very smooth Reilly’s Ginger Whiskey and then is finished off with lemon, agave nectar and mint, creating a tasting and refreshing cocktail that you could drink all day long. The Irish Rose comes in a martini glass and leans a little more towards citrus with grapefruit and rose vodka along with vodka and a floral hint from a chamomile syrup.
