• Irish • Uptown
Booked 10 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!

    Food was good but service just ok They didn’t have 2 of the wines listed After a second Peroni, they told us they didn’t have more Despite selling us the focaccia to go with the burrata, they brought the focaccia much after we’ve finished the burrata I would call it Mediterranean rather than Italian - there is no pasta and pizzas are more like flatbread. The risotto comes under the large plates but was rather a small one.

    The sports tv sets DEFINITELY lower the experience in Sophia’s l. Highly recommend the tvs be put into a smaller, less conspicuous area for those who, heaven forbid, absolutely cannot enjoy an evening without staring at a tv screen. Sophia’s can elevate itself away from the lowered quality of Sports Bar by putting the tv reception in a small discrete area.
