The Raven, nestled in the heart of New York City, offers a refreshing escape into a world where quality drinks and intimate ambiance converge. This quaint pub, small in size yet enormous in character, manages to comfortably seat between 50 to 75 guests, creating an atmosphere that's both cozy and vibrant.Upon entering The Raven, one is immediately struck by its understated charm. The décor is a seamless blend of traditional and contemporary elements, with dim lighting and wooden accents that invite patrons to settle in and unwind. The bar, though modest in size, is remarkably well-equipped. It serves as the heart of the establishment, where skilled bartenders mix up an array of impressive cocktails.The drink menu at The Raven is a standout, particularly for connoisseurs of both classic and inventive cocktails. Their espresso martini is a must-try, perfectly balanced and artfully presented, providing a caffeinated kick that's ideal for a night out. For those who appreciate simplicity, the standard drinks are executed with precision, from crisp beers to finely poured neat spirits. However, it is their signature cocktails that truly showcase the creativity and expertise of the bartenders. Each drink is crafted with unique combinations and fresh ingredients, making each sip a new discovery.Service at The Raven is attentive without being intrusive, with staff who are knowledgeable and eager to recommend drinks tailored to your taste.

Tendies were transcendentally Irish. Sat for a few hours and unloaded the details of my parents recent divorce on the poor soul next to me. Wish we had more time.

The short guy doesn't share the wifi password if you're not native American. Kind of racism is here.

If you are looking for a cozy chill sports bar on Upper East side look no further. The Raven was just that. It may have been because I went at an off time sort of but very few people were there, bartender was super nice and beer selection was great. They have games through out the bar for us to play. Jenga and connect four just to name a few. I am sure it gets crowded on weekends a d for sports games. But nothing bad to say about this bar at all. Highly recommend checking it out.

My go to UES bar. The staff is so kind and friendly and will go above and beyond to make sure you have a great time! Affordable drinks and cocktails, with great music bumpin on the busy days. On the slow days, the TV is usually playing sports, if that’s your vibe too. Great place for larger groups, or to meet some friendly people. Hosted my birthday here, and they were so kind to me and my group! Thank you! (Shoutout to Sean the bartender!)

The ceiling is pretty dope; seems to attract humans with liquid appetites. Can confirm: humans are friendly and down to party ???
I love this bar. Dark, a great place to hide, high energy music with great speakers and your favorite sports games. Great Guinness, great people at the bar! cannot complain about anything.

One of the neighbors favorites, always lively ambiance good music and affordable drinks. This is a must if you are looking for a gun place to hang with friends, spacious enough for big groups, and no table service which is great. Service is always fast and friendly and lots of promos, events and games shown in this bar.

One of the best neighborhood bars on the upper east side. Great bartenders, always a good time at the Raven.
