About this restaurant

  • Great for live music
  • Great for craft beers
  • Neighborhood gem
Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, Rare Olde Times has closed temporarily.

Rare Olde Times Public House officially opened March 1, 1994 and was founded by the singer, guitarist and Dublin native Andy Jennings. In our 25 years of business we have prided ourselves on providing friendly service and authentic Irish food and drink. Rare Olde Times offers an inviting atmosphere for gathering with friends and family alike. Our cozy and authentic feel will transport you to a pub off the Liffey in Dublin.

Under the continued stewardship of Michele, Rob, and Steve our pub home remains to be just as inviting as the day it opened. Come and savor our Shepherd's Pie, have a whiskey with friends, and enjoy our nightly entertainment. As we enter into our next 25 exciting years of business we invite you to be a part of our pub family.

Céad míle fáilte, a hundred thousand welcomes.

    Loved being here and just the neighborhood touch was what we needed. Could have been in NYC on 2nd Ave. The waitress, an angel from County Cork, had us laughing and chatting as if we were old friends. We needed a night like this, friendly, wonderful banter, good food and beer. We feel lucky it is in our neighborhood and will be back for St. Paddy's day, lifting a pint or 2 of Black and Tan, hearing great music. Slainte!

    This is not only the best Irish Pub in Richmond, it's also one of the best music venues. Live music of all types from Thursday to Sunday. The owners are good people. Food is fantastic. Give it a try!!

    The staff was absolutely wonderful and the entertainment was very good. The only thing that could be considered a complaint from my end was the bench seating against the wall… That was kind of hard to sit on for four hours LOL. Other than that, five stars!

    We've frequented Rare Old Times for many years now; the service is second to none, the food is fantastic (a mix of traditional Irish fare, pub food and surprising nightly specials) and the entertainment is always enjoyable.

    Open mic night made this just a fun family outing! The sheppards pie was awesome, the turkey reuben was a win, and the kids loved their sliders and fries. We will definitely be back!
