Editorial Review for Ri-Ra – by Dawn Keable
The Scene
Feel as though you're in County Mayo? That may be because much of Ri-Ra, from the floor underfoot to the decorations on the wall, was brought over in pieces from the homeland. And while the rowdy American crowd has perfected the festive pub attitude so revered in the mother country, one difference is worth noting: The rambling rooms of this reincarnation could probably hold five village populations.
The Draw
When it comes to Irish imports, you need remember but one word: Guinness. Not only can you get it on tap at the bar, but a pint of the legendary stout shows up as an official appetizer on the food menu. And it doesn't end there. With main courses like beef and Guinness pie and Guinness-marinated tuna, apparently this brew is the chef's drink of choice as well.

Insider Tips
When to GoSure there are plenty of TVs to watch, but on Sunday evenings from 5pm to 8pm, you'll want to shift your attention from the featured sporting events to the group sing-a-long of Irish favorites.

I'll keep this one nice and short. If you like drinking a pint of the good old Irish beer then go no further. Ri-Ra has great beer, great prices, great people. Check it out!!

Fun place, seems to have some sort of entertainment most nights. I've seen two bands. One was really good...the other was so-so. Seems to draw a good crowd. Friendly service. Menu has a good selection including plenty of traditional Irish pub fare. My favorite were the Irish potato cakes. Definitely worth a visit. This would be a good place for a date or to meet a group of friends.
Pros: potato cakes, entertainment
Cons: parking
