• Irish • Uptown
Booked 7 times today
Meticulously restored in Ireland and shipped to the US, Ri Ra embodies everything that you would expect from a genuine Irish Pub. Ri Ra comes from the phrase "Ri Ra agus Ruaile Buaile," a phrase translating roughly as divilment, good fun or any sociable activity that improves with fine food, a nice pint of Guinness or dram of Uisce Beatha (whiskey). Ri Ra can be defined as place or state where exuberance and revelry prevail, where music and merriment compete and the conversation flows smooth as the Guinness ebbs in the glass. Slainte!

    Anthony and Branson absolutely made our evening wonderful! They were both very attentive, friendly, welcoming, and exceeded our expectations. We had a great night and plan to return often. This will be one of our regular spots for cocktails. The atmosphere is eclectic, upscale, and we love that you have a dress code!! Thank you!

    The Manager was very helpful. We asked for a seat change. Why? We were initially seated close to the entrance and each time the door was opened, we got hit with the cold breeze (outside temp around 35 degrees at the time). The Manager ushered us to a better seat in the back of the restaurant and we ended up having a great time. Thanks for your understanding and resolving our issue.
