This is quite frankly the best bar food in Cork bar none . The presentation , the amount and the value are incredible and for once you feel like you are getting great value for your money . The staff are the next jewel in the crown , from the moment we arrived to when we left they are all so friendly , attentive and you just know happy in their jobs , this must come from the top because it looks like the owner works very hard there too. I brought a friend who hasn’t been there in years and she was honestly blown away and cannot wait to bring some work colleagues there. Well done to everyone , an absolutely cracking spot with game changing food !

This place has the most delicious food. We ate the Tikka lollipops, the raven dip, and the most yummy fish and chips I've ever had. The waiters and waitresses were beyond fast and friendly. My top recommendation for food and drinks in cork city center. Also reasonably priced. We had such a wonderful time, and if the staff is reading this....thank you for a marvelous time. You must have all kissed the blarney stone because each one of you has the gift of gab for sure! Thank you again

The food is spectacular! The service, excellent. The atmosphere, splendid. Run to this place!! You MUST have the Jamaican jerk wings (it’s flavorful and not at all burn-your-mouth spicy.) and the Korean ribs and the Spice bag fries. Verrrrry well seasoned!! Here’s what I know for suuuuure: I have a new go-to spot in town for solo meals or with friends!

Decided on this venue for a drink and bite to eat before heading back to Dublin and I’m glad we did. Got the baby spice bag and the chicken was beautifully coated. It was definitely spicy! Exactly how I like it. I tried the gluten free IPA and I wasn’t disappointed. Prices are reasonable, only €7.50 for the spice bag. Our server Shane was some great craic. Definitely a fine addition to the bar. I’d highly recommend this bar if your in cork.

This was our FAVORITE place to grab dinner/cocktail. First off, the staff is incredible! From the first time to the last time, they were welcoming, fun, knowledgeable, kind, and all around some of the BEST Hospitality workers in Cork City. The variety of food is all great quality, may I suggest the Spice Bag with Chicken or literally ANY of their bar bites. Great for dogs on the patio and such an eclectic vibe the inside. I have worked in the Hospitality industry for years and these were some of the BEST cocktails I have ever had. If you see the 'Holy Water' absolutely order that. If you don't see it on the menu, ask if they can make it because #ChefsKiss. Cannot wait to be back in Cork and find myself at The Raven.

Only came in for drinks on a Bank Holiday weekend night. Decent White Russian cocktails.

Came here with two of my friends on a busy Saturday night, the staff here are absolutely amazing!! We were served by Sinead who was so on the ball and so friendly! The staff here made our experience so fun and stress free, which says a lot in comparison to near by bars! 10/10 recommended!

Fantastic food - full of flavour with a huge amount of choice. Cocktails are fantastic with a good range to suit everyone. Not to mention the wine list which is perfectly thought out. Fabulous staff who are always friendly and welcome you with open arms. Keep up the good work raven team. Definitely the best bar in Cork 💖🥰

Came here for dinner with coworkers and had their mozzarella sticks.They’re to die for. BEST IN CORK!!! My friends loved them as well. Their drinks are delicious and everything is good value for money. The staff is absolutely fantastic and the ambiance is very welcoming. Will be coming back 100%.

We came across The Raven Bar while on a weekend trip to Cork. What a find! The staff were lovely - very friendly and warm. The food was absolutely amazing, and ambience was so comfortable and relaxed. Really enjoyed our evening there!

Was our first time in the raven and will definitely b back , lovely bar for a pint and had chips and mozzarella sticks which will b getting again , staff couldn't have been more friendly .

The most amazing bar in Cork! Good food, a lot of various drink and the best Irish coffee in town! We were there only for one weekend but we will be back as soon as possible. A must see place :)

Nice Irish pub with kitchen, good beers, wines and dishes. Fish and chips ,fish tacos and chili beef tacos are really tasty. Nice place for a good dinner or just for drinking!

So much of the food sounded so good, and we settled on each getting something different so we could all try. Everything was wonderful! My mom got the Cajun Shrimp Po Boy, and being Cajun ourselves, I must say, it fit the bill. Chicken Katsu Burger and French dip were also phenomenal. Lovely outside seating area and great ambiance to top it all off.

A fancy bar off North main street Cork city! Nice place to sit and enjoy the sounds and sights of city! Nice food! A place for most people of all ages! Good place to visit But only thing the Drinks are Expensive a lot like most of City bars! No need for this at all.

An unexpected surprise. I always remember this as a slightly grungy pub (In a good way!) They have really done a great job decorating and are using brilliant colours which set a really nice vibe. My partner got the French dip which he really enjoyed and I had the ribs which thankfully were not downed in sauce but had an appropriate amount and tasted pretty good. Servers were absolutely lovely and made a point to interact with my young daughter. Make sure you check the menu before you go as there are such interesting flavours to choose from!

The ambience in here is only surpassed by the friendliness of the staff! Haven’t tried the food yet but I will 100% be back for more! Exceptional work to all involved 🥰

Great spot in Cork City for some lovely food and drink. Great atmosphere, especially on sunny days!

Have been a few times for drinks, got some beautiful food there recently. Good atmosphere, people drinking Beamish, cocktails, and everything in between. Was served by a man who seemed to genuinely enjoy his job, which is a rarity these days. Will definitely be back there soon.

Went with a couple friends after dinner. Had a few cocktails. Staff were very friendly. Place was busy but not overcrowded as there was a please wait to be seated policy at the door. Had a good espresso Martini. Overall very good!

Cool spot. Food is great. Sat at the bar Service was good.

What’s not to like about this place? The service is so friendly, the food is delicious, and the wine selection is decent. I’ve been here several times, for drinks and dinner, and I’ve always enjoyed the time. This time, I had the shashuka with hake and it was so delicious. My partner had the ribs which were a tad dry. The brownie was to die for. Definitely one of my favourite places in Cork. They are also able to tweak the menu for vegans, so ask!

Such an excellent place, both for indoor and outdoor. Shout out to the staff, extremely attentive and friendly. Lovely cocktails as well, try the crab burger and the tacos (pictured)!!!

On Monday they have a promotion on Wine's bottles. They are all half of price. Try the Bordeaux white wine is just amazing! The mezze Board is delicious: fallafel and homemade humus, every time will be different. Staff friendly and efficient, just don't dare to order a Guiness! 😂

Great vibe and atmosphere. Food was enjoyable! Would recommend for a casual night out

The Raven is a must stop for any food lover in cork or just passing through. The staff are very friendly and attentive, they seemed to read my mind at several points during the meal, bringing an extra pitcher of water and such. The only issue with the staff was that there wasn't enough of them, I'm unsure if this was an exception though. The food was outstanding and despite the modest portions I left feeling full. My girlfriend, who is notoriously puck when it come to vegetables, thought the brocollini was one of the better parts of her dish. This was a fantastic food experience and exceptional value for the quality of the meal.

The food is diverse and the flavours are memorable. I love the soft shell tacos. My friends are vegan and it's wonderful because there are lots of Yummy options for them. The staff are great. The cocktails are fabulous. Overall the vibe is lovely.

Very happy to have discovered this lovely pub. Cocktails are amazing, the food was fresh and beautifully presented. We tried the mezze and the cheese platters.. perfect! The waiter was professional, polite and attentive to our table. Definitely someone who cares about his work and his clients. I will definitely come back and will share this address to the expat diaspora in cork.
