Rí Rá Irish Pub

The food looked great, but it was a little cold. I ordered the brisket on rye. It was dry and could've used a nice sweetening sauce. It would've been good if the cheese was properly melted and immediately served, but it melted and then was served cold. Service was also slower than expected and straws given were previously unwrapped and put in the drink without gloves. I would like a wrapped straw to keep it as hygienic as possible. I was not at all satisfied with that.

Bottom line: good for games and big groups, pass if you want good service, are in the mood for above average food or if you want to l be able to hear the people you're with. The decor and ambiance are excellent, if you're looking for an classic Irish pub this nails it. The food is what you'd expect, so nothing surprising there. This place really lost points on the service, which when we went was polite but nonexistent, and the volume. A small group of folks watching a match at the bar is enough to make sure that's the only thing you'll hear. That said, if you want a high energy locale for a soccer game and a drink, this is a good option.

If you're told they're one of the stops on a pub crawl when you arrive, then go elsewhere or expect to have zero service - at least, that was the excuse our waitress gave for it being almost 8 minutes after we were seated before she stopped by for the first time and another 7 or so minutes before our tea and water arrived. It took another 5 to 10 minutes for my Guinness Taster flight to arrive. The food, while tasty, wasn't hot when it arrived. Oh, and we got to watch our waitress smooching someone and refilling that table's drinks multiple times without us even having silverware long after our food arrived - it took me multiple flailing of arm attempts and finally a verbal callout to get our waittress's attention to request the missing silverware. I was not offered water with my beer flight, nor did anyone at our table receive a refill. When it came time for the check, I watched 3 other tables request their ticket after and receive their check before us. The bar area was hoppin and it looked like only one or two wait staff were working the dining tables. We went in-between major mealtimes, hoping it would improve our experience but were disappointed. Rira seems like a good bar for a drink with loud friends - I'll skip it for a casual meal next time, though. Food was quite pricey, too.

Pros: decent tasting food, nominally priced entrées, great location,standard service Cons: super loud and noisy ambience, unattractive appetizers, a bit homogenous clientele.

In town for the night and this place was awesome! Great beer great food and super unique! Lots of history in the building itself as well which just added to the atmosphere!

Every staff member is super kind and accommodating. Food was fantastic and restaurant ambiance is authentic. Will definitely be back next time we're in Atlanta!

Went for dinner and drinks before the Celtic Christmas show at the Rialto Center. Fish and chips was as good as any I had in Dublin. The Sheppards Pie was good as well. We will be back!

The chicken wings were okay. Loved the rueben egg rolls. In drinks has the Irish mule which was awesome and some whiskey.
