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!

    Our food was very good. My wife, daughter, and I had the cottage pie, fish and chips, and patty melt with a side of Brussels sprouts. The food was hot and fresh. The service was great.

    Food was good. Staff were nice. The wait times for our drinks and food were very long. Took over 20 mins just to get water. Apps came out after about 30 mins and our drinks still were another 15 mins past that. Our meals did not all come out at the same time and our birthday girl waited an extra 5-10 mins for her food while ours got cold. So, yes, I would give it another try, cause I enjoyed the food and atmosphere, but they need to fix their service issues
