The atmosphere is nice. The food is typical lousy bar food, with the exception of the burger, which is pretty good. And the bartender is great. The one big problem is the waitress. She is so incompetent and so rude, it's almost funny, except when it's not. My friends and I have been coming here for a while for the weekly trivia nights, but we've decided to find someplace else, just to avoid dealing with her.

I really like this bar. It's my go-to bar on the Upper East Side! The female baristas are the best! The drinks are affordable, and the ambiance is very nice. However, I do have a couple of recommendations. First, please introduce Apple Pay. Second, please offer more food options!~

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. The overall vibe of the pub is laid-back, attracting a diverse crowd that adds to the lively yet relaxed environment.In conclusion, The Raven is a gem within New York’s bustling pub scene

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

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!)
