Rí Rá is located in an historic bank building, designed by Boston based Harper & West, that was completed in 1931. The pub opened for the first time in March 1999, and was extended in 2002 with the addition of the Library area. In February 2012, The Whiskey Room opened its doors. As you enter Rí Rá, you can imagine yourself walking through a door that leads you across the pond to experience the best pubs of Ireland. The pub interiors were salvaged and restored in Ireland prior to being shipped to Vermont. We are proud to showcase a unique and genuine Irish pub in the heart of Burlington.

    Going to this location brought me back to my college days. As holds through from 20 years ago… They do not disappoint! Incredible selection of beer and wonderful food. Great service tops it off.

    We had made reservations on Christmas Eve for one of the few spots open that night. Our reservation was for 4:15. On the site, they said they were closing at 6:00. We walk to the restaurant from our hotel and arrive at the restaurant around 4:10. We walk inside the restaurant and the hostess tells us that they had decided to close at 4:00 and that nobody on staff knew how to pause the online reservation system. We were appalled at hearing this on Christmas Eve as most other restaurants were closed. We begged with her to no avail and left extremely disappointed. Very unprofessional.

    Overall 4 of 5 stars. Little underwhelming food but house Macaroni and Cheese was a hit. Tomatoes in Bangers and Mash overflowing with peas was a miss. Cocktails were good

    This was such a great spot in the downtown area! I had the grilled cheese with apple and what a fun Vermont sandwich to try lol. As out of towners, we really appreciated the call cocktail list and the inclusion of Vermont cheese everywhere. Loved the decor and the service was super friendly.
