Riordan's Tavern is a tribute to the neighborhood bars that saturate the east coast with rich woods and authentic Los Angeles sports memorabilia. Owner Richard K. Riordan, Mayor of Los Angeles from 1993 through 2000, believes that restaurants and taverns are important to the fabric of a city. The atmosphere is for all to enjoy without obligation to be any certain personality or class. Riordan's is known for their stiff drinks and great steaks.
