Ri Ra Irish Pub

“Some Irish charm at this pub. This place has lots of creative style for seating. There is a large bar area with booths and tables around it. They also have a second level for dining. There are TVs around the bar for sporting events. It has 2 different places, one is a little bar room and one large area. I had the short rib stew and it was hearty.”

“Took my Irish boyfriend here after to have a little taste of home and it delivered! I’m gluten free too and they had so many options. I got the bangers and mash and it was such a big portion but I nearly ate the whole thing. There was a little issue with our Irish coffees i might add, but the server kindly redid it and it was yummy (and strong)🥴 Beautiful vibes in the bar and upstairs. A bit pricey but would 100% recommend. So gooddd.”

“Amazing food & service… the menu updates are top notch… The entire staff is so friendly and everything was served perfectly! RiRas aesthetic updates, particularly upstairs, is really beautiful. A lot of tourists don’t know this (but it’s a local Portlanders’ secret) that the upstairs here is much easier to get into on a busy day & has some of the BEST window seating for viewing the harbor and the ferries at Casco Bay Lines… great spot for a pint before a day out at Peaks Island!!! Or a great place to warm up with an Irish coffee when you come back from the “mail-run” cruise. Also important to point out that it’s quite accessible upstairs with their elevator… just ask the host/ hostess at the front and they will direct you!!! Top notch, 5 stars hands down!!!”

“I can’t even describe what an amazing hidden gem this place is, so I’ll let the pictures do some of the talking. It’s located right on the water, and when you walk in it looks like your average Irish pub but head upstairs and it turns into a coastal oasis! We stayed for three hours watching the snow, sipping delicious cocktails, and enjoying some of the best food of my trip. There are so many gluten free options. The gluten free chicken fingers with multiple sauce choices were absolutely amazing! Our server was so incredibly kind, knowledgeable about the menu, and he made the whole experience even better!”

“From what you see from the street, the interior was unexpected and very nice. The dining room upstairs is light and cozy feeling but large and great views. Service was excellent and the food was good with very generous portions.”
