Great Irish pub fare . Almost everything is incredible. The Guinness is poured properly of course. And the staff is very attentive. Ask to be seated upstairs near the windows overlooking the water.

Lenny Gallo

The ranch dip is exceptional and exceeded my expectations—worth splitting. The fish and chips are some of the best ever. Great place.

Ri Ra is Great- the staff , setting, and price. I recommend a Yankee Burger (best burger i've ever had but it was a special.) Ask for it, if not, get any burger it will be delicious!

Best chowder I've ever had! Friendly staff and lots of space at the bar . Fish and chips is the biggest piece of fried fish I've ever seen!

Cass Grimm

The bartender didn't seem to excited to have such a huge group of us there but in the end was able to help us out with some beer recommendations. I liked it!

Daud Alzayer

Great food and presentation. Good amount of vegetarian options for a pub menu . Long beer list . Seated next to a second floor window we had a great ocean view .

Portland Old Port

For a quieter setting, ask for a water view . For a fun night stay downstairs and enjoy live music on the weekends.

Rarely do I trust "cute " names for hot wings ...in this case "volcanic" means VOLCANIC. This is their 3rd hottest, I can't imagine what "suicide" would be...

Danielle Dorrie

Great music in the evening. Nice beer selection . Bartenders are friendly .

Abbey Road Taxi of Portland

An authentic Irish pub . A lot of the materials used to model Ri Ra were brought over from Ireland. Beer , Music and Fun!

I had Fish & Chips here. Very disappointing. The fish was greasy and tasted of overused cooking oil. The grease from the fish seeped through onto my French Fries making them far too chewy for fries .

Nick Dubay

Request for Gavin as your waiter when you are escorted to your table...he'll make your day.

james burke

Excellent cottage pie !

Jon Darveau

Your run of the mill Irish Pub type joint. Get what you expect

Richard Cleaves

Definitely Not the Service. food is good when you finally get it.drinks are terrible. Larger parties should avoid here. Wait staff knows their gratuity is already included so service REALLY suffers
