No one Parties Like the Irish

We may not have invented the “Party”, but here at Rí Rá in the heart of Burlington, we sure have perfected it.

Private Party & Corporate Event Spaces

The Irish pub has always been a place for celebration and getting together with friends old and new.

Rí Rá Burlington is the perfect place to hold everything from a fun, casual event to a more formal seated occasion. Our unique setting and incredible menu options will create a truly memorable event, whether it is a private party for family & friends or a corporate event with work colleagues. The pub has several options available to accommodate everything from an intimate plated dinner to a 200-person cocktail reception.

The Cottage

Groups of up to 75 seated or 90 standing guests can be accommodated when we combine the Cottage & Library areas. The Cottage provides plenty of space for guests to mingle and interact. It features a stone fireplace and large windows with views of City Hall Park.

The Library

The Library provides a semi-private setting for groups of up to 25 seated or 30 standing guests. This quiet, partially closed off space creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. There is a large flat-screen television for watching any event.

The Whiskey Room

For a completely private and unique event, we offer the Whiskey Room at Rí Rá, featuring a range of over 100 whiskeys to augment the pub’s food and beverage menus.

The Main Bar

Parties of up to 200 guests standing can be held in the main bar area. This authentic Victorian bar recreates the look and feel of a traditional Irish pub that cannot be found anywhere else in Vermont.

Party Menus & Packages

It wouldn’t be a party without great food and drinks and we offer a wide variety of both to fit every taste and budget. We have packages that cover everything from a few appetizers to a full-on buffet, a formal sit-down dinner or anything in between.

If you have any specific requirements our dedicated Event Manager and our Chef will be more than happy to create the perfect party for you. We also provide entertainment – from small acoustic acts, to the best local & regional band talent, as well as Karaoke or DJ dance parties.
