Thw food was delicious and full of flavor. We ordered the Reuben Pasty. It tasted nothing like any reuben that we've ever had, but it was so good. The restaurant/pub is a bit different than we had ever been to. We sat at a table for sometime before I saw a sign that said to order at one of the bars and that was a bit frustrating as 2 people n our party were older and one in a wheelchair that didn't make it easy for our party at remembering everyone's drinks, food, and paying. Also the nenu was on a chalk board abovevthe bar, and definitely not easy for a few in our party to see in the dim lighting. I did ask for menus and they had pamphlet size menus. The main floor is wheelchair accessible at the front and back door the bathroom was wide enough for a wheelchair. I definitely recommend checking out this restaurant/pub.

I love the pasties but I don't understand why the gravy doesn't come with it. Just use to getting it everywhere else I've had them.

My friend wanted to take me here for my birthday lunch and it was perfection. The service was great but the food was so good. We had the Guinness gravy and fries delicious. But the shepherd's pie is the best I have ever had out. It's so hard to find one as good as my Nana's and this one did it. Going to go back soon and have dinner. This is a must go to!

Celtic Ray public house has the best cod fish around. The filet is big and extremely flaky and white.

Good traditional beer selection. Very poor service and management. Manager mad e a comment about a dog in the outdoor area after we cleared birdshi* I didn’t appreciate being singled out after being there several hours with multiple dogs.made a comment and minimized the tip. The bar staff wanted to fight. Low class group. Stay away.

Great pub atmosphere with the best fish and chips that I've had since New England. A real gem in Punta. Live music outside and a dark, cozy inside bar and dining. You have to order food & drinks at the bar and then seat yourself. Food will be brought to your table.

As of 12/20/2025, the last time I had been here was approximately a week before the devastation of Hurricane Ian. I had a lot of good memories here, including a third date. Ever since I moved back down to Fort Myers to keep my lonely grandmother company, I'd wanted to come back to the Ray, along other restaurants. Finally had the opening to do so after dropping ma off at the airport from her Christmas visit.

It was all I remembered and more. Rustic, CELTIC interior. Order at the bar like a right proper Pub, hearty side of chips and a slice of buttered soda bread with your pasty, and enjoy your meal in one of the best establishments in SWFL. The fact that a slice of Éire made it all the way down here without being mutated into some Americanised hellspawn is a genuine miracle. No burgers on the menu, just pure Irish cuisine made right and proper.

Get a Pasty. Get your bread pudding. And, if they got one, get a loaf of that soda bread to take home with you.

So much fun. The bar team was great. I stopped for a few pints and got great recommendations of local beer from them.
Thanks everyone!
