Ri Ra Irish Pub

Manager's Note: Providence's most authentically Irish Pub! Great Food. Great Drink. Great Music. Great People.

Located in part of the original Union Station complex where it was originally a coal storage facility, Ri Ra opened in June of 2000 and has built a reputation as a great place to go for a lively and fun night out. Ri Ra began life as Lavin's Pub in the town of Swinford, County Mayo on the west coast of Ireland in 1889!

Description: Imagine yourself walking off a busy street in America and through a door that takes you back in time to the cozy and communal atmosphere of a traditional pub 100 years ago in Ireland. This is what David Kelly and Ciaran Sheehan set out to accomplish when they built their first Rí Rá pub in Charlotte, NC in 1997. They set to work in Dublin to meticulously restore the unique Victorian bar in the middle of the Charlotte pub.

Originally built in the early 1800s for the officer's mess in the Phoenix Park Barracks in Dublin, the beautiful craftsmanship has stood the test of time. Sitting over a quite pint, visitors are welcome to peruse the collection of old Dublin Corporation Ledgers written from 1800-1840.

David and Ciaran have stuck to their original goal, and each Rí Rá pub is completely unique and different from the next. Designed, developed and built by Ciaran in Wicklow form - authentic and often famous old pubs in Ireland, such as the Olympia Theatre, which first opened in Dublin in 1879 before being shipped to America. David and Ciaran grew up together in Dublin and emigrated separately to America - one to pursue a career in design and the other in Guinness marketing. As the business grew the two befriended and became partners with Jay Luther, an experienced multi-unit operator who now runs Rí Rá Holdings, LLC.
