text: I have had good times at RiRa and I have had some bad timesnMost of the good times were due to the band playing which is sometimes really good and most of the bad times were a combination of bad music and overcrowdingnnThis place has been a popular mainstay of downtownuptown as long as I can remember nIts tall and long inside but very narrow and when its crowded it can offer up a bit of a claustrophobic vibennSince its so popular it can draw a bit of an unruly latenight crowd as well Most of the people here are cool however and the staff seem to be nice and accommodating nnStill its hard to get a beer or drink and I usually do not spend more than an hour or two here before bailing for more comfortable confinesnnI cannot speak to the food as I have never eaten here I have seen a menu though and it looks decent and decently priced
