Rí Rá Irish Pub + Restaurant Portland

Rí Rá Irish Pub in Portland, Maine occupies a waterfront address on Commercial Street, where harbor views and an authentic Irish pub atmosphere set the scene for private gatherings of nearly every size. The pub draws on classic Irish hospitality — think working fireplaces, warm woodwork, and a menu anchored by locally sourced ingredients — while offering dedicated private spaces that can be tailored to anything from intimate dinners to full-venue buyouts. Five distinct event spaces span from cozy semi-private rooms to a full-floor configuration that seats 130 and accommodates up to 200 for a cocktail reception. The Harbor Room and Bay View Room both feature dramatic harbor views and working fireplaces, making them well-suited to seated dinners and board meetings alike. The Upstairs Bar and The Parlor offer more relaxed settings for smaller cocktail receptions. For larger events, The Upstairs at Rí Rá brings the entire second floor together under one booking. A dedicated events team, in-house catering, and on-site A/V equipment round out the offering. The pub's team works with guests to build custom menus, and a virtual tour is available for those planning remotely.
