About
Rí Rá Las Vegas
Crafted
in the warm pub style of 19th century Ireland, Rí Rá Las Vegas is located
inside The Shoppes at Mandalay Place.
The authentic Irish pub features a multitude of artifacts that were
carefully restored in Wicklow, Ireland and shipped to their new home in Las
Vegas. Rí Rá Las Vegas contains an
authentic Victorian Shop bar that began its life in Ireland in the 1880s, a
whiskey bar adorned with an original glazed jewelry cabinet from 1900, an oak
floor from a whiskey distillery and an 8-foot-tall, 500-pound carved plaster statue
of St. Patrick dating back to 1850. The
pub hosts live entertainment seven nights a week in a music room constructed
with artifacts dating back to 1890 from the Olympia Theater in Dublin, Ireland.
On the weekends, guests can kick back at Rí Rá Live, where every Friday and
Saturday at 11:30 p.m. the best bands in town take the pub’s stage. Born and raised in Dublin, Rí Rá Las Vegas
owners David Kelly and Ciaran Sheehan have been close friends since they were
14-years-old. Kelly and Sheehan later partnered with Jay Luther, whom Kelly met
while working for Guinness. Rí Rá Las Vegas is the 12th pub the trio has opened
in the U.S.
