Rí Rá Irish Pub & Restaurant

Great place, friendly staff and cold drinks.

DO NOT GET THE CHEESE CURDS, trash. THE FRIED FISH SANDWICH WAS AMAZING, one of the best I had, so perfectly buttered every bit had the wiff of a drenched in butter lobster rolll. But cheese curds just dry wood chips with no sauce or cheese.

We were looking for a restaurant near our hotel and found this place plus, dogs are allowed here, which was a big plus. The service was good, our server was very nice and accommodating. Honestly, this is the only place during our trip where we had a genuinely good experience with friendly service.

The only food we really liked was the chicken wings, everything else was just okay. If I ever come back, I’d only order the chicken wings.

Wouldn’t leave a review but a drunk guy walked up to our table and asked for some of our food before wandering outside and harassing whatever woman happened to pass. Not sure why he was allowed on the premises.

Great spot, food, drinks, staff, all of it! I love it upstairs by the windows overlooking the harbor and the ferry boats.

Atmosphere, staff, and food were all amazing. We are a gluten free family and usually limited menu choices - Not here! There was a wide variety of gluten free items on the menu! We ordered the fish and chips, fish sandwich, braised short rib, cottage pie, and pickled onion rings. All were amazing! The batter for the fried items is always gluten free and items fried in a separate frier.

Never been to a pub before, and was here for a wedding rehearsal. Nice pub with a view of the water. Nice and friendly servers. The place look and feel rustic. Food is ok not much standout to eat for.

Will start off by saying that the restaurant itself and the location is beautiful. However if there are more than 4 people in your party, look elsewhere.

Made a reservation for our group of 9, i’m aware that this is a larger sized party but they verified over the phone that was completely ok and able to manage for the time of day.

Our waiter was extremely overwhelmed with getting us our initial drink order. However, when placing our food order we realized how mismanaged the kitchen / staff is.

We received our entrees first after placing three appetizers first. Which we had to remind them of. Additionally 3 people in our party did not receive their entrees until 20 minutes after everyone else. Receiving half cooked, half baked, meals.
The waiter did not make any comments or take concern into why this delay happened and all felt rushed when plates started being removed in order to clear out quick.

Overall, extremely disappointed by the staff, food, and quality.

Wonderful atmosphere! Amazing service and food!
Many gluten free options available.

Reached out via email on two separate emails I found for the restaurant and have not heard back on either message I sent. Very disappointing because we want to love it but after our experience and the lack of communication from the restaurant we will never return. My fiancés meal was inedible due to a shattered skewer in her sandwich and a burnt to a crisp chicken cutlet. We had taken our food to our hotel to eat so we didn’t notice until we were back in our room. I thought of calling that night but it was a busy Saturday and I knew they wouldn’t be able to do anything right away. So I sent an email through their website. No response for a week, found a second email address I could send an email too, sent one there too. It’s been just shy of a month with no answer.

Upstairs is massive with a great water view. Food was good but nothing amazing. People who ordered a lobster roll were not impressed. Reuben was good but the onion rings were gross. Was expecting larger onion rings and they were strings. Decent spot but Portland has a lot to offer.
