| - I can't believe it's taken me so long to give these guys a review. Since I live in Vegas and work at the Bay, I was clearly excited when I found out that we were getting an Irish pub of our own. I am yet to go to Ri Ra and have anything less than a great time.
Lets clear a little something up, Mr. Ben G. Yes, the employees who work there, who are from Ireland...wait for it... They're actually from Ireland. Some are on a one time visa and some are on a permanent visa. Those who are short term, actually live very, very near by. Do you really think they could find that many individuals to fake an accent like that? Didn't think so... although if you head in late, late, late at night you'll find our douche bag so cal guys thinking that they have somehow become Irish and adopted an Irish accent... Anyhow, I'm yet to meet a wretch of an employee there... one girl had an extremely hard time hearing us and didn't think to double check our orders, because the music was too loud and she was caught up in having a good time. Either way, the girl was still a joy and that's the only close to meh experience Ive ever had there.
The guys at the door, bar tenders, servers and managers always remember us. The music is always fab (Irish music during dinner time and a live rock band later in the evening). It is very loud. If you want to chat with someone and "get to know them" go somewhere quieter.
Ive order their halibut on wasabi potatoes au gratin and Ive also had their gyro wrap ( they call it something different and its on their late menu). If you aren't a fan of lamb and are not familiar with Irish food, watch what you order and don't be afraid to ask what is in it. For instance, shepherds pie in the US is made with ground beef... Irish shepherds pie is made with ground lamb and lets not even get into the blood pudding. Irsih bangers are always great too. If you want to be a stuffy diner, and don't appreciate the hospitality of western Europeans... go back down and have your dinner at Strip Steak (which is always wonderful but for a different breed).
