Ri Ra is the new Irish Pub that has opened at 12th & Midtown, and the  exceptional cuisine combined with the authentic Irish atmosphere has created a lot of buzz. In no time at all, Ri Ra is going to be one of Atlanta’s most popular restaurants.

Of course when it comes to a restaurant, the most important aspect is the food. Well, Ri Ra doesn’t disappoint in this department. The entire menu is an enticing fusion of traditional Irish Fare and American favorites with an Irish twist. In short, there is something for everyone. Those that love the traditional Irish cuisine will be happy to see favorites like boxtys, corned beef & cabbage, shepherds pie, fish & chips and more. But for the all-Americans that want nothing more than a thick, tasty cheeseburger, you’ll love the wide selection of American classics that even includes a Guinness BBQ Burger.

The menu is complemented with the authentic Irish decor and staff – yes, staff. The owners of the Midtown Ri Ra have brought 10 native Irish men and women here on temporary visas in order to add to the ambiance of the pub.

And lastly, one can’t overlook the history of Ri Ra. The entire restaurant, for the most part, is made up of beautifully restored salvage artifacts and materials from old pubs imported from Ireland. One of the most notable pieces is probably the flooring, which is 100 years old and was created at the Belfast shipyard where Titanic was built. So, while feasting on your tasty lunch or dinner, be sure to notice all of the historical items that surround you.

Alright, let’s sum it up now – imported Irish furnishings, genuine Irish workers and authentic Irish cuisine basically means that for an hour or so, you get to visit Ireland without ever leaving Atlanta. And, for those that live at 1010 Midtown, you can visit Ireland without ever leaving home since the restaurant is basically located in the same building.
