Rí Rá Irish Pub & Restaurant: Experience Authentic Irish Hospitality in Portland

Great venue for a Baby Shower! Upstairs, it had Multiple rooms and a dedicated bar. Wish we had one more bartender/waitstaff. It was a BIG crowd! Comfort food was tasty, decor included comfy couches and benches, along with straight backed chairs and barstools. Awesome views of the Harbor. Downstairs was a rowdy Irish Pub! They had a matinee show I would like to go back and see. Looked like a fun crowd!!

For drinks, great spot! A fantastic Irish themed bar. Only place I know in the local area that offers Killkenny, which is a red Guinness draught. A occasional visit is always worth the time

We visited for brunch and really enjoyed ourselves. The upstairs is quiet and with a fantastic view and is more like a restaurant, while the downstairs has music and televisions and is more pub like. We had the fried chicken breakfast sandwich on a bagel with fries and loved it. It was a decent portion and good quality and the fries were really crispy. Our server was friendly! We’d recommend making a booking.

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!

I love this place! I did not have food tonight but showed up for the band and the atmosphere. They never fail. I got the perfect Guinness as you’d expect. The band was fun. Never disappointed.

We stopped in for lunch on a whim. There was really great live Irish music. The whole place was rocking to the band. We found a table and ordered our food from the bar. Bar staff was friendly and quick. The food, not so great. The Guinness Irish stew was full of grissely beef and wasn't very good. Mashed potatoes were very cold...not even warm, and such a small portion. The salmon was as dry as dust. The Chicken sandwich was so so over cooked. My ruben was terrible. Honestly, I very rarely have complaints about food, but every one of the four meals we had were horrible. I would go back for music, drinks, and atmosphere, but will never get food there again.

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.

We were recommended this place specifically for the gluten-free fish and chips, so that is what we both had. The food was delicious, and our server, Garrett was excellent. He was very attentive and helpful and made the experience really great.
