At The Life of Reilly, our menu is a guide, not a boundary.

We have eight house cocktails listed, each built around a specific ingredient. Once those ingredients are gone, we don't make them again, which means the menu is constantly evolving.

But if you don’t see what you fancy, just tell us, and we’ll make something Off Script, just for you. We have a huge range of ingredients and styles to draw from, which means we can really hone in on what you want, whether your request is "something boozy with irish whiskey" or " I want to be a tropical pirate" - yep, both requests we've gotten verbatim.

Because the most important thing is giving you what you want, whether it’s listed or not. Ideally, says Aidan, that means every visit becomes its own experience, creating more and more memorable moments along the way.

Stop in Wednesday through Thursday from 6pm – 1am, and Friday through Saturday from 6pm – 2am.

Ready? Because we are.

The World Cup kicked off yesterday, with Mexico beating South Africa in the opening match in Mexico City. Mexico is the first nation to host the FIFA Men's World Cup three times - in 1970, 1986, and now 2026 - yet, they've never reached a semi-final. Could this finally be the year that changes?

We'll be screening almost every match, and opening early for selected fixtures - plus, Happy Hour runs Monday - Friday, 3pm - 6pm, with a different deal each day: cocktails, pints, half-priced tacos, snacks, and more.

Soccer Summer is here - check our website for details, and watch live with us at 8 Erie Street.

One drink, three ways - the Margarita.

Now, we actually have five Margs on the menu, so you're always spoilt for choice. Here, though, we're looking at three distinct styles - classic, frozen, and spicy.

Up first, our Margarita De La Casa, says Lauren, is straight to the point and delicious.

If you want to level things up a little, go for the Frozen Margarita - aka the Silent Killer. You don't realise how much you're drinking because they're that good.

Finally, if you like a bit of spice, get the Los Colorados. Finished with a chilli rim, it brings just the right amount of heat.

And before you know it, you'll be here with one eye closed - responsibly, of course.

Shane O’Neill spent five years with The Dead Rabbit before joining The Life of Reilly, though he’s been in hospitality for a lot longer, having worked in his dad’s Boston bar since the age of 19.

His favorite spirit is Powers with a bottle of Bud Light, he’s a big fan of our Old Fashioned, and can’t get enough of our Steak on Toast.

As for his standout moments with the company? “Any time I’m able to prove Neha wrong about basically anything… I’ll let you know when it happens.”

As a Dead Rabbit stalwart and a Life of Reilly day-oner, Shane has been part of our Erie Street story from the very beginning, and we're lucky to have him helping write the next chapter - one Bud Light at a time.

We’ve highs of 86°F in Jersey City this week, and whether you’re looking to cool off in the air conditioning while watching the Knicks or soak up the sunshine with Margs and Tacos, we’ve got you covered.

Head inside for the game, or grab a spot on our terraza and make the most of the warmer days, with families, pets, and walk-ins welcome.

Intentionality sits at the heart of everything we do at The Dead Rabbit Group, and artwork has always been a huge part of that story.

At The Life of Reilly, says Jack, we wanted the space to feel like a counterpoint to the maximalist artwork you’ll find at The Dead Rabbit and San Patricios. Everything here is more stripped back and considered, designed to complement the cocktails themselves.

Lining the walls are around 40 pieces by acclaimed Irish artist Brendan Foreman, former resident graphic designer at Dublin’s Abbey Theatre, the spiritual home of Irish theatre. When Jack first reached out, Brendan sent over his work, and together they selected the collection you now see throughout the space. Jack’s only request was simple - “Can you sign them?”

A few weeks later, Brendan’s wife replied with the heartbreaking news that he had passed away. Before he did, Brendan made sure the prints were signed and sent on his behalf.

It’s difficult to put into words what that means to us.

These pieces are now part of the fabric of The Life of Reilly, a permanent home for Brendan’s work, and a place where guests can come in and experience the scale and depth of his talent - and we feel incredibly fortunate to be able to share them.

An ode to the good life, an ode to Brendan.

There’s two weeks to go until the World Cup kicks off across Mexico, the United States, and Canada - and because Ireland didn’t qualify, we don’t need to choose between our two favorite teams.

The opening match sees Mexico take on South Africa in Mexico City, before Korea Republic face Czechia at Estadio Guadalajara later that same day - and we’re showing every game, from June 11th - July 19th.

Come for the football, stay for the fiesta.

The Con Cafecito section of our menu brings together three coffee-led cocktails - our San Patricio Coffee with Tequila and Irish Whiskey, the Espresso Martini with café de olla, and this - the Irish Coffee Martini, inspired by both.

A wee bit Irish, un poquito Mexican - caffeinated, boozy, and just sweet enough to have you going back for more.

Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey, Guinness, Mr Black Coffee Liqueur, espresso, café de olla - Aidan occasionally included.

Nope, those aren’t our staff uniforms - they’re the team kits for Los San Patricios GAA, proudly sponsored by yours truly.

Founded in 2023, Los San Patricios is the first and only GAA club in Mexico dedicated to promoting the ancient Irish sport of Gaelic Football, and they host training sessions open to all genders and abilities, welcoming both locals and immigrants from around the world.

Today, they’re competing at the West Coast Sevens in San Diego. In August, they’ll head to the USGAA Finals in Boston, and from September 4th - 6th, they’ll host the second-ever Copa Azteca in Mexico City, welcoming clubs from across the US and Canada.
