Rúla Búla - Irish Pub in Tempe Arizona
Rúla Búla is a great little Irish Pub. Great food and good whiskey selection.
20150207 225812 Morfadopalus by The Sorganoughts cover-Traveler-Rula Bula
Join us for a peek into the nightlife that Tempe's Rula Bula has to offer the locals to include students of the nearby Arizona State University. See below for more about this popular pub!!
Guinness, music, literature, its people and original pubs have been some of Ireland’s greatest commodities. An Irish pub is not just a bar or restaurant. In Ireland, the pub is at the heart of social life. It is a community gathering place for friends and musicians. A true Irish pub is distinguished by its “craic,” an Irish term referring to positive interaction among people through conversation, stories and music. To create an atmosphere of “craic” our pub is uniquely designed to offer a meeting place for good conversation, live Irish entertainment, good food and, of course, the perfect pint of Guinness.
Choosing the right name for our pub was extremely important. We wanted our name to tell a lot about the pub experience and, after studying many names, cities in Ireland and pub culture, we decided on Rúla Búla. Taken from the Irish Gaelic language expression rí rá agus ruaille buaille it translates to uproar and commotion in the context of a celebratory and fun time. We phoneticized the expression into Rúla Búla to simplify pronunciation in English. We felt Rúla Búla was an appropriate selection for the upbeat, fun image the City of Tempe portrays. Particularly on Mill Avenue, which is often, open only to foot traffic during the many festivities that take place throughout the year.
Rúla Búla is located in the historic Andre Building in downtown Tempe. R.G. Andre, a skilled saddlemaker, was a prominent businessman in Tempe. Long ago, before statehood, when Arizona was a pioneer town. While living in Phoenix, he built a Victorian-styled commercial building on Mill Avenue in 1888 and opened a saddlery and harness shop. In 1893 he moved to Tempe, Andre later joined with M. Mertz, who became his partner in Andre and Mertz, a store specializing in harnesses, saddlery and vehicles. Rúla Búla pays tribute to Captain Andre with an Irish saddlery-styled pub, which contains many of the bric-a-brac, flooring, lighting and interior design elements reflective of those more than100 years ago in Ireland.
In Ireland, a merchant’s shop would often double as a pub. A corner of the shop would be set aside for this very purpose. Customers would sit, sip Guinness and converse surrounded by shelves of merchandise. Irish pubs are a retreat from the real world and at the heart of Rúla Búla is the ready smile, the invitation to relax and enjoy good conversation, great food and drink, hospitality and humour. In a word—craic.

20150117 225100 Smash the Window-Traveler-Rula Bula
Join us for a peek into the nightlife that Tempe's Rula Bula has to offer the locals to include students of the nearby Arizona State University. See below for more about this popular pub!!
Smash the Window can be found on the 2007 Celtic Traveler album.
Smash the Windows is a Single Jig as opposed to the Double Jig of Lannigan's Ball, so it is important not to confuse the two.
AKA as Jelly Jig (American), Roaring Jelly, Smash the Windlass (Shetland). Irish, English, Shetland, Canadian, American; Single Jig or Slide (12/8 time). The melody, an exceptional jig tune, has been solidly absorbed into the core repertoire of several genres. British sources seem to predate all others, with the earliest appearance of the melody in John Fife’s manuscript copybook, compiled between 1780 and 1804. Fife was a fiddler, perhaps from Perthshire, although it appears he may have gone to sea for part of the time period covered by his manuscript. A rather anonymous collection of dance figures (Contra Dances) dating from about 1800 also includes a dance with this title [American Antiquarian Society]. The first printing appears to be in W.M. Cahusac’s Annual Collection of Twenty Four Favorite Country Dances for the Year 1809 (London), “with directions for each dance; as they are Performed at Court, Bath, and all Public Assemblies.” However, an American publication of around the same time, G. Graupner’s Collection of Country Dances and Cotillions (Boston, Mass., c. 1808-1811), also contains the tune. American flute player, R.B. Washburn, who compiled his tune and dance collection from 1616-1820, included it in his manuscript copybook. Martin Mulvihill gives this tune as an accompaniment for the dance The Haymakers’ Jig.

Irish pubs are a retreat from the real world and at the heart of Rúla Búla is the ready smile, the invitation to relax and enjoy good conversation, great food and drink, hospitality and humour.

20150117 222312 Dead Sea Song
Join us for a peak into the nightlife that Tempe's Rula Bula has to offer the locals to include students of the nearby Arizona State University. See below for more about this popular pub!!
Dead Sea Song: This song was composed and written by Scott Jeffers while he was overseas in Jordan, floating on the Dead Sea. He was floating comfortably on his back because in the Dead Sea you don‘t sink as the salt content is is 9.6 times as salty as the ocean. This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which animals cannot flourish, hence its name. While was looking up at the clouds in the sky, the clouds parted and the sun shone down and when it hit the water it gave the water a beautiful ethereal silvery appearance. It looked incredible! While he was mesmerized by the beauty of this sight, this melody came to him. He whistled it while he was floating then transposed it to the violin later once he got back to the shore. The lyrics to this song are in Hungarian and are written about the beauty of the sun shining on the water of this glorious ancient sea and about the turmoil this particular body of water has seen sitting between two countries, Jordan to the East and Israel to the West.
This unique and upbeat song is always a crowd pleaser and is featured on the 2013 Onward Journey, Traveler album which can be bought on their online store at

About Rula Bula: Guinness, music, literature, its people and original pubs have been some of Ireland’s greatest commodities. An Irish pub is not just a bar or restaurant. In Ireland, the pub is at the heart of social life. It is a community gathering place for friends and musicians. A true Irish pub is distinguished by its “craic,” an Irish term referring to positive interaction among people through conversation, stories and music. To create an atmosphere of “craic” our pub is uniquely designed to offer a meeting place for good conversation, live Irish entertainment, good food and, of course, the perfect pint of Guinness.
Choosing the right name for our pub was extremely important. We wanted our name to tell a lot about the pub experience and, after studying many names, cities in Ireland and pub culture, we decided on Rúla Búla. Taken from the Irish Gaelic language expression rí rá agus ruaille buaille it translates to uproar and commotion in the context of a celebratory and fun time. We phoneticized the expression into Rúla Búla to simplify pronunciation in English. We felt Rúla Búla was an appropriate selection for the upbeat, fun image the City of Tempe portrays. Particularly on Mill Avenue, which is often, open only to foot traffic during the many festivities that take place throughout the year.
Rúla Búla is located in the historic Andre Building in downtown Tempe. R.G. Andre, a skilled saddlemaker, was a prominent businessman in Tempe. Long ago, before statehood, when Arizona was a pioneer town. While living in Phoenix, he built a Victorian-styled commercial building on Mill Avenue in 1888 and opened a saddlery and harness shop. In 1893 he moved to Tempe, Andre later joined with M. Mertz, who became his partner in Andre and Mertz, a store specializing in harnesses, saddlery and vehicles. Rúla Búla pays tribute to Captain Andre with an Irish saddlery-styled pub, which contains many of the bric-a-brac, flooring, lighting and interior design elements reflective of those more than100 years ago in Ireland.
In Ireland, a merchant’s shop would often double as a pub. A corner of the shop would be set aside for this very purpose. Customers would sit, sip Guinness and converse surrounded by shelves of merchandise. Irish pubs are a retreat from the real world and at the heart of Rúla Búla is the ready smile, the invitation to relax and enjoy good conversation, great food and drink, hospitality and humour. In a word—craic.
20150208 013818 Hava Nagila-Traveler-Rula Bula
Hava Nagila is one of my favorite songs that Traveler plays and often finishes their nights playing out in the local clubs and malls here in Phoenix, Arizona. Some of the most memorable nights are had while these wonderful musicians let their hair down and jam to a crowd already hyped to a feverish pitch from a night of incredibly uplifting music!
“Hava Nagila” (הבה נגילה Havah Nagilah, Let us rejoice) is an Israeli folk song. It is perhaps the first modern Israeli folk song in the Hebrew language that has become a staple of band performers at Jewish weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. It was composed in 1920s Palestine at a time when Hebrew was first being revived as a spoken language for the first time in 2,000 years (in other words, since 70 CE, the destruction of the Second Temple). For the first time, Palestinian Jews were being encouraged to speak Hebrew as a common language, instead of Yiddish, Arabic, Ladino, or other regional Jewish languages. The lyrics and their translation follows. This song is ancient and I find that just about everyone is taken to bobbing around to it.
Transliteration English translation
Hava nagila Let's rejoice
Hava nagila Let's rejoice
Hava nagila ve-nismeḥa Let's rejoice and be happy
(repeat)
Hava neranenah Let's sing
Hava neranenah Let's sing
Hava neranenah ve-nismeḥa Let's sing and be happy
(repeat)
Awake, awake, brothers!
Uru aḥim be-lev sameaḥ Awake brothers with a happy heart
(repeat line four times)
Uru aḥim, uru aḥim! Awake, brothers, awake, brothers!
Be-lev sameaḥ With a happy heart
Hava Nagila can be found on one of my favorite albums titled Ancient Lands released in 2008. Please show your support and visit their online store at for a copy of their many albums.

Gypsy Bird might be Scott Jeffers favorite song right now; A song he learned from the birds in defiance of the gypsies in Romania who in the summer of 2014 wouldn't enlighten him regarding gypsy music! Gypsy Bird can be found on the Traveler newest and possibly best album titled Winds of Ksar Ghilane released just this past December 2014.
