Welcome.

Ri Ra adds to the existing ambience of Bethesda's thriving restaurant and nightlife by bringing its own history with it. Ri Ra is divided into two distinct areas, the traditional Irish Pub and the Ri Ra restaurant.

Both the traditional Irish Shop Bar and the unique Olympia Theatre Bar have been meticulously restored and shipped to Bethesda; both are magnificent examples of authentic Irish carpentry and craftsmanship from over 100 years ago.

The emphasis at Ri Ra is on great food, great drinks and great craic. Central to 'New Ireland' is a European culinary revival; prepare to be surprised by the Yin and Yang of Ri Ra's old world surrounding's and new world Irish Bistro food!

Ri Ra can accommodate private parties of up to 50 people for dinner and 100 people for cocktails; what better place to party like the Irish!
