Rí Rá Clarendon celebrates St. Patrick’s Week; Honors 3 Great Charities

A fantastic week of entertainment is lined up to support three great causes.

Fastest Bartender Contest: The fun starts on Sunday, March 11 when Rí Rá hosts a round of the Northern VA Fastest Bartender Contest! Come watch your favorite local bartender show off his or her skills in a spectacular mixology race. The best bartenders are competing for a place in the Grand Final. This event is in support of the Tender Hearts Foundation, a charity that offers help to families of children with congenital heart defects.

Wounded Warriors Rock out with The Rogues: On Thursday, March 15, Rí Rá welcomes back The Rogues, one of the world’s best Celtic rock groups!  Rí Rá proudly supports The Wounded Warrior Project, a charity that exists to honor and empower wounded service men and women.  Join us to show your support and gratitude to those that sacrificed to serve our country. Awesome music and great prize giveaways all night make this a Thursday to remember!

St. Paddy’s Super Saturday: Because you won’t have to call-in to work “sick” the next day, Rí Rá starts the St. Patrick’s Day party with breakfast from 8am. The all-day party features three great bands, Irish dancers, a traditional Irish menu, and, of course, the perfect pint of Guinness (or two)!  You won’t feel guilty indulging in another pint, because all this fun will support another great cause! The Reading Connection is a locally-based charity that helps to improve the chances of success for children in crisis through reading.

We all want to be a little Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, so make Rí Rá —the authentic Irish Pub—your official party headquarters.
