Guinness is good for you. Really! And the wings here are very good, with very good blue cheese. Staff is pleasant & professional & you get your drinks quickly. I wouldn't go here during a sports event, though, esp football, because the 'fans' are drunk & loud.

The Tuesday 1/2 price burger deal (all day) and $4 pints (happy hour, ? to 7) brought me in... The RiRa burger, New Castle Brown Ale and Tara (the server) will bring me back. Pay attention to your bill; if you are there when happy hour ends *all* of your drinks end up charged the regular price. We had to... More

I love RiRa's - conveniently located to the Clarendon Metro stop off the Orange Line. They have a great selection of beers - and can pour a decent Guinness (yes, there's an art to pouring Guinness draft and few have mastered it.) The food is pretty much 'bar food'. They have outdoor seating - street side next to Wilson, I... More

Game night is fun here. The bar is OK, but I prefer the Clarendon Grill if you are going for this type of environment. They have live music that is OK. Drinks can get pricey for sure. Cover charges are not fun. Outside area is available.

Been there a bunch to drink and it's really fun, especially in the back bar. Good staff. Haven't really tried the food. Live music, Wii, and trivia

After looking for a place to grab a bite to eat and some drinks with some old friends, we settled here on a Wed. night. Their special was half price burgers, and we found it to be a great deal.

The atmosphere here is great. It's a great Irish pub, but with more room. The bar area is cozy, but not cramped. Their furnishings and decor are relics and architectural pieces from Ireland - cool! Their burgers are fantastic and that is a high compliment as the area of Clarendon where RiRa is located is riddled with great burgers! The... More
