GWR Distilling Co.
Ollie Mulligan’s family may have started making spirits in the kitchens and barns of Ireland, but times and technologies have changed. You’ll see evidence of that the second you walk into our beautiful new distillery. The one thing that hasn’t changed is there are still no shortcuts when it comes to distilling great spirits. It takes premium ingredients, time-tested techniques,
and an uncompromising dedication to the finished product. Even after all
these years, the only way to make
great spirits is the right way, and that’s how we do it at Great Wagon Road.
Ri Ra Irish Pub
Rí Rá opened its doors for the first time on March 14th, 1997. The pub survived a major fire in 2009 and is celebrating its 21st anniversary in 2018. Meticulously restored in Ireland and shipped to the US, Rí Rá embodies everything that you would expect from a genuine Irish pub.
The pub has been carefully restored from old Irish pubs and related salvaged artifacts including an original shop bar and a 19th century Victorian bar. The pub and fire restoration required a tremendous effort from a select group of master carpenters, glazers and painters.
We are proud to showcase a unique and genuine Irish pub in Uptown Charlotte.
