The Raven Bar in Cork

Went to this bar to have some quick late-evening food. It turned out to be much better than we expected from this kind of place. Also friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. We had a Buddha bowl and a fish taco, very tasty. And of course…a pint of Guinness. They also serve a great variety of cocktails but we didn’t try any.

We chose The Raven as it has excellent reviews, and one of our party was a big Korean Fried Chicken fan. Our experience was almost exclusively positive. Our phone query was dealt with professionally, and throughout our visit the staff were commendable. We were seated quickly, and were attended to just the right amount, without it being obtrusive. The food itself was fresh, tasty and cooked to an exceptional standard. The one slight caveat was the Korean Fried Chicken burger. If you are expecting the red chilli paste hit that you would experience in a Korean restaurant, you will be disappointed, however if you want a mild taste of Korea on your burger then you will probably be more than happy, as the dish is still very good for pub grub. Overall we recommend The Raven for its professional, friendly staff and varied (my wife had trouble deciding between FOUR distinct dishes!) yet excellent food.

Walked in, and was welcomed in a proper manner. Drinks, absolutely huge options!!. Food, outstanding!!. Specially the spicy bag. For Gluten free people, great options available. The host and the server is so good. Beautiful atmosphere and great music. Thank you!! came all the way from NY. Will come again. Thank you Raven for a great evening. ♥️
