Amazing night at rira⠹s!

We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at RiRa’s upstairs this past weekend, and it was absolutely wonderful. Tara, RiRa’s Event Manager, was incredibly easy to work with. She was responsive, on top of all the details, and over the top helpful. The food, drinks and service were flawless. We could not recommend RiRa more!

Thank you for making our night beautiful!

Ri Ra Irish Pub and their staff was absolutely phenomenal from the beginning of our planning to executing our beautiful rehearsal dinner. If you want a stress free, beautiful, delicious venue for your event, this is a must! I have nothing but praise for how they set up, served and welcomed us into their home. If you want a piece of authentic Portland for your party or gathering, this is a must.

Amazing food & professional event team

We booked RiRa for our rehearsal dinner (30 people) which was then followed by our wedding weekend kickoff party (100 people). IT WAS AMAZING. Seriously! When looking for a rehearsal dinner/welcome party location that would fit our guest count, RiRa was the first to be recommended and the first venue we looked into. We loved RiRa from the start but wanted to look around and really research all our options. I'm going to be honest... that took forever and honestly I wish I saved myself the time and just went with RiRa from go because truly no other venue compared.... especially after we experienced the actual party! THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE! Like so good that in the back of my mind I was worried it would upstage the wedding night menu! THAT GOOD! ALL of our guests talk about the food AND about how beautiful the upstairs of RiRa's is. It's a bit deceiving because it feels like an old Irish Pub downstairs but upstairs is so modern and light! Lots of windows... fun nautical decor. It's perfect! Then there was the staff... UNBELIEVABLE! Rebecca was so easy to work with on the menu and any details leading up to the event and then Rita took charge and did absolutely everything on the day of. I didn't think about anything! Truly was a guest at my own event. Anyway, if you are looking for a casual dinner for a larger group this is the place to go! HIGHLY recommend!
