Ri Ra is one of my favorite uptown bars to go to. It has a very earthy and relaxed atmosphere, often with Celtic playing in the air. The seats are comfortable and the old wood work is quite pleasing to the eye. Some of the bartender ladies have a slight Celtic accent, which can just make your heart melt.
I have never eaten here, so I can't speak as the quality of the food. Though from the looks of it, they food is made rather well. What I can speak of is their excellent array of whiskeys. Several great aged scotches and bourbons to choose from and some great beers to partner with.
Ri Ra is a great place to have a nice relaxing drink of whiskey and taken in a football (soccer) game.
