About this restaurant

Good for groups
Lively
Charming

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!

Went for late lunch on Sunday. There was only two tables and three people at the bar. Got our usual sausage rolls and fish and chips. Sausage rolls were nice, fish and chips was meh. Seems like the fish has gotten smaller and very pricy. Would loved another beer but server didn't return until we were almost finished. I get the feeling that the people don't seem too invested any more - a real shame.

We sat upstairs. Quiet vibe for an early dinner. We tried a variety of food from fried haddock, bangers and cottage pie. It was alll delicious. Our waiter was attentive and refreshingly polite and courteous. Will be back to try more food.
