The Raven in Glasgow City

Great bar and loved the cold town IPA

Great bar with a superb selection of Old Fashioneds

If you need somewhere to sit and chill during the daytime. This is where I would recommend. Plenty of choice on draught and a nice selection of cocktails and whiskies. Staff were great to chat with

Venue was relaxed and had plenty of new Ales for me to try. There's even Pool for those who play in a different area along with Electronic Darts. Worth coming with a small group just for the laughs.

Really enjoyed it here good day out with the family

First time visit will be back soon

It’s a regular pub in the city center, but £5.80 for a pint of Birra Moretti is too much. Friendly and fast staff.

Amazing food, nice atmosphere and attentive staff. We had the meat tray with extra brisket. It was beautiful and very filling. We'll be back.

Pasé por aquí a comer algo antes del teatro. Gran ambiente en cuanto entras. El servicio fue excelente, con personal amable y servicial. La comida era deliciosa y lo recomendaría encarecidamente. Definitivamente volveré. 10 / 10 .

Comida excepcional. ¡Mi amiga vegetariana dijo que tenía el mejor queso mac n de su vida! La música era muy excelente, gran lista de reproducción. El personal era muy amable y servicial. Tuvimos una tarde fantástica!

Bar staff very good. Accidentally left my purse and the bar person came after me to hand it back

Met up with some friends on Thursday night and visited the Raven bar for the first time. Nice and spacious inside with lots of seating areas, well lit. First impressions was nice friendly looking place. Approached the bar for some drinks, met with a stone faced female bartender. Ordered some pints and a few shots as we were in a good mood. Almost 50 quid for 4 drinks with shots…pretty shocked by the price as place is located off the main drag. When expressing my surprise at the price of the drinks, the female bartender gave me an unpleasant stare. Anyway paid for the drinks and took a seat. When my friend took to the bar for more drinks he was refused, claiming that I had been aggressive when ordering the first round. I approached the male bartender to challenge the claim and was accused of using foul language towards the female bartender which I disputed. I was shocked by this claim, however myself and friends were asked to leave. On reflection, I feel that any staff working in environment selling alcohol should posses a level of resilience when dealing with the public. I feel that the female staff member had made a false accusation however myself and friends could not plead our case. On that point I would not recommend this bar and would like to highlight to management that both staff members working that Thursday night require suitable training for working in a public bar. Therefore I have given the Raven a rating of one because of my bad experience.

Staff were friendly, can't comment on the food as I didn't buy any. They had a nice selection of beers, and the electronic darts was really fun. 100% would go back.

Food wasn't great this time.. the chefs ran out of turkey roulade and decided to put pulled beef on my girlfriends burger instead then the waitress told her multiple times it was definitely turkey "but different turkey that they use for Sandwich" It definitely wasn't as it was the exact same pulled beef product I had in my quesadillas I even tasted it and compared it. The waitress was clearly annoyed on us challenging this, she was probably frustrated that the kitchen had lied to her and then we appeared like idiots making trouble. No apology was offered and it was really frustrating to feel like we had to explain ourselves over and over. The roast potatoes were actually fried too, very dry. I've been here twice, after this I would not return. There was clearly tension when it should have just been fixed. Not nice at all. Especially when you get treated like you're a stupid. I've worked in restaurants all my life and there's a lot you can get away with. When the kitchen makes a mistake like this they need to just own it. Lying to the waitress just caused an atmosphere, she should have just got a manager to come and speak to us and it probably could have been avoided. The burger was taken off the bill so it's not the end of the world but it was hard to get anyone's attention both times we had to which makes us less likely to return.

Great city centre bar with friendly staff and good selection of drinks.

Good energy, good drinks, good food.

Just had a drink So very nice in a large group

Cocktails are not that strong, also the service isnt quite nice. The bartenders are realy unfriendly. To play some darts as a tourist is very difficult, because they like to give locals a head start :)

Great pub.. night playing pool and darts.. 😀

decent cheap pints with no frills and no nonsense considering that it's been around so long and is so central. Some things don't need changed, can rely on the Raven

Great place if you want to watch football and have drinks and foods. Burgers wasn't bad

A very nice pub for all darts lovers. The service is super nice. I will definitely go back there.

Nice pub for some pub grub and great selection of beers

Very Good real ale pub close to the central station Had an interesting beer from Cromarty on my visit

This is a great pub for a couple pints:) lovely staff and usually not too busy. The nachos are also a good snack

Good beer selection. Good atmosphere.

Nice place. Great prices. Missing some mixes for standard drinks, but staff are helpful.

Gran lugar para tomar algo en un fin de semana con amigos si tienes más de 30 años. Es difícil encontrar un pub en el centro de la ciudad que no esté repleto de estudiantes, pero este lugar tenía mesas libres esta noche y estaba ocupado, pero encontramos una mesa lo suficientemente fácil y música no demasiado alta que no podía tener una conversación.

Great food and excellent service

Great place to get something to eat whilst watching the sports on many if the big screens,also has a upstairs area for a more private setting

Good for enjoying but not for eating. But the service was good so I'll give 3, not 2.

Cool bar with great food, tvs for sports, pool table and dart boards with interactive games.

A little quieter than we had hoped, given a local team was playing a Europa game. Amazing Old Fashions served here!

We went here on our last day in Glasgow. The dart games are some craic and the staff are friendly. The food is tasty and fairly priced we got the 3 plates for £20 and was more than enough to feed us both. Plenty of TVs to watch the live sport too. Really cool atmosphere would recommend.

We popped into this bar before we went for lunch. Very nice cocktail and selection of drinks.

Lovely big bar. Plenty of seats available. Polite staff and good drink choices.

Great atmosphere, myself, and my family had a great time. We would definitely be back! Didn't try the food, but it looked and smelled great! You can order from the app food and drink are delivered straight to the table! Darts games are fun, and you have plenty of time to play lots of different games.

La primera vez aquí y me sorprendió gratamente. La comida era muy sabrosa y grandes porciones. Tuvimos los 3 bocados de bar por £ 20 y no nos dimos cuenta de que las porciones eran grandes. El personal era eficiente y servicial y tuvimos una visita agradable

Terrible servicio. Esperó 10 minutos y no hay servicio. Tuve que pedir un menú de 3 personas que acaban de hablar entre sí. Luego otros 10 minutos de espera para ver si alguien tomaría nuestra orden. Finalmente dejamos esa zona para otra sección para ver si podíamos conseguir un mejor servicio. No. Todavía necesitaba marcar a alguien para tomar nuestra orden. La comida estaba bien. Luego tuve que llevar nuestra factura al bar, ya que nadie vino a pagarla.

Had a seat waited 20 minutes,still no service...Left!!

Good simple menu with excellent burgers and dogs. The table service is always very good. Never waiting long for a drink. Great for catch ups with friends.

£18 for a burger?! No wonder it was empty on a friday night. And then when you get the bill, automatic 10% added for service, so it's actually a £19.80 burger, and let me tell you, it's not worth that. The food is mid at best. The halloumi slider is literally just a piece of lightly warmed halloumi in a bun. I have been several times before, but I won't be going back.

at £17 fir a burger, you'd think the "smashed" buger would be fresh, and look like a smashed burger. Instead, you get an old school frozen burger, on a par with McD's. The food is a con.

Great place! We popped in here at random looking for food and a beer and weren't disappointed. Absolutely amazing Bacon Cheeseburger, a good selection of beers and IPA on tap, and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Service-wise we were genuinely impressed. There's was a printer glitch which meant our order didn't get to the kitchen so we were waiting a while, but when the staff realised they rushed the order through and gave us a free side (we got the Dirty Clucker loaded fries - outstanding!) and a couple of free pints. Highly recommend it if you're in town looking for a decent burger. We'll definitely be back.

Just in for a few beers. Service was prity quick, price wise was average. Would go back again

The Raven is a fun sports bar that has lots of TVs to watch sports and does amazing burgers, but I found that there was a problem with the house Cold Town beers, after trying both the IPA and the lager but both were flat, the bartender tried to check on the line but the problem was still there. The smokehouse burger on the other hand was lovely and packed with flavour, but the buns did disintegrate as soon as you tried to pick it up.

A lovely place to come with a dog - ours got plenty of attention. The food wasn’t amazing but pretty standard pub plates. Tidy, clean and reasonably priced.

Superb food ,dog friendly dogs were having so much fun as quiet.

A rather young and noisy clientele. Not for me but perfectly fine for loud people. To be completely fair, the Scotland Euro match was on so the place would have been much louder and busier usual. I may return to the Raven at some less busy time.

Good beer, location, darts and pool. Food is not the best

Good pub with opportunity to play darts and pool

A really good pub for something to eat and a beer

Nice wee bar in central Glasgow. Clearly popular. Real ale available. Had the advertised Haggis and Black Pudding bonbons for a snack. Black Pudding unavailable, suited me fine, the Haggis bonbons were perfect, the spicy mayonnaise perfectly balanced.

Always loved stoppin' in here when up the toon,.. but 18 quid for a fall apart burger?.. calm down, it's Glasgow, not Dubai.. hope the £30 burger stays in one piece after the first bite.

Popped in for dinner as was wanting somewhere to watch one of the euro games and noticed it was showing the had a deal burger and pint for £15 food was good but they only had one type of pint that came with it and I wasn't keen on it myself. But everybody's taste is different. Was fairly quiet so got peace to watch the game. Overall happy.

I recommend this place to buy a drink and play 8 ball, darts or watch TV. Had really fun time with friends however I do not recommend buying food as it's ridiculously expensive.

Vine aquí por algo de comida rápida antes de un espectáculo, muy sorprendido ya que por dentro es enorme. El servicio era amable y rápido, la comida era decente

Food is fantastic great atmosphere would highly recommend The Raven

The best American BBQ in Glasgow. The sharing platter is delicious, well portioned, and fairly prized. Good selection of beers too. Highly recommended!

Great food, my brisket was as good the best I ever had. Being from Wisconsin it was great to see Old Fashioneds on the drink menu. Got there when they opened I couldn't believe how fast we got served. Highly recommend 👌 👍

A very good bar 🍸 with friendly staff and the prices are also good 👍

Went in for a few drinks. Selection of £5 cocktails. Staff polite but not very friendly/chatty when asked questions. Didnt eat so not sure of the food. Felt like an old style bar which I liked. Hit with the smell of vanilla on entry and then a mix of 'old' food smells, which was expected if selling food, but I did wonder if they could open some back windows 🙂. They have pool and darts here.

Had a couple of drinks very nice places with a good atmosphere

Great beer selection, friendly staff who are happy to help. Did not eat on this occasion but menu looked good. Well worth a visit.

Good prices and popular pub. Cocktails are a fiver 👍 lots of screens with sports being shown.

Dog and kid friendly with lovely staff. The food is very good pub grub, recommend the chilli con carne and the delicious mac n cheese.

Another excellent meal at The Raven. Firm favourite for me and my friends and family. Recommend the Bang Bang Chicken Tacos! and any loaded fries, tried philly ones this time, really nice, although be warned loaded fries are a meal in themselves! Great food, friendly relaxed atmosphere and great staff!

Cosy and friendly sportsbar on a Friday evening. Food and drinks area are separated which makes it comfortable to eat. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Very nice pub. Prices are ok and the service is good.

It was fine for a couple of pints. Didn't eat here, so can't comment on the food. Staff were very nice, and a good atmosphere. Recommended

Used this place a few times now while in Glasgow. Find it has a real mix of folks including a load of couples but all ages and different folks which is good. Beers are great, lots of craft. Darts available and food was good, loaded fries.

£14 for two medium Pinot Grigios!!! Shocking prices! Even London is cheaper than this! Absolutely mental prices for Glasgow ffs!!

Great food and great selection of pints.

Good venue , lovely food and great dartboards .

Waiter disappeared after bringing food ( no service plate ) then we wanted some more drinks and nobody around. Went to pay bill myself and they sneaked a 10 percent tip on it. Dishonest.

This is a great find!! Food amazing, fast service will defo be back. We opted for pulled pork, brisket and halloumi fries

Great pub grub and great service.

Very expensive beer. Good range, though. Staff were engaging. Enjoyed the darts. Toilet door broken. Reasonable atmosphere for a Friday night. Previously visited where the food was good. TV's are throughout the premises showing sporting events.

Good food, great service. Darts board set up in an awkward place group of loud lads standing round it, waitresses struggling to get past with plates, customers trying to pay at the til nospace to do it.

Went in for a drink one night, saw the menu and returned the following night for a meal, Americana type menu well cooked and substantial.

Great food in the middle of Glasgow!

Had a few drinks here the other night, stumbled upon the raven by accident but will deffo come here again on purpose !!! Was served by Logan, super friendly bartender with a great smile :)

Birthday lunch with my son , where we could watch the football and rugby on multiple screens . Enjoyable food with good beer and a good atmosphere

Over priced for poor food. Chicken as tough as old boots, very dry. 'Coleslaw' was lettuce & chilli's, no mayo!! Not be back.

Good pub with real ale. Good food

Had many a drink in here, always enjoyed it. Selection is often changing, so plenty to choose from. Gets pretty busy on the weekends or when there's a match on the TV.

Staff friendly and toilets clean. Beer flat and old, Guinness rubbish, couldn’t finish it. Poor

Visited here on a staff night out.food was decent and bar staff wher brilliant.girl with the snake tattoo looked after us all fantasticly.defo recommend

Colleagues recommended me to come here on my first day in Glasgow and it did not disappoint! Atmosphere was very nice, although the area where we sat was a bit cold but still very nice. Food was delicious and their cocktails were super good! The service was okay, at some point we had to chase after someone to get a couple of napkins.

We had a rather extraordinary situation in the pub on Saturday morning. We ordered drinks and my friend want to see what the cask ales were. There was a bag just in front of the 3 pumps and my friend just put his hand down on the bag and was told off sharply by the bar staff "don't touch my lemons"! We assured the staff member we just wanted to check the name of the ales and he said again "as long as you weren't touching my lemons" Honestly not making this up. It wasn't a very welcoming experience to be honest. Do better!

Went with a group of us for Darts and Dinner great night had by all

Welcoming and with an interesting variety of beer and whisky. Not to forget the free of charge King of Fighters video slot 😊 Had a great time there

Nice atmosphere, normally come here to play darts They have a promotion during the week darts £15 for 90 mins play. Had some food, portion are big, but wouldn't say it's great. Had lunch menu deal chicken wings are not cut up, so you get whole wing which is good value for money, although I prefer cut up ones. nachos, curry hot dog which didn't taste good to me, but my partner liked it. And a burger which was okay. Overall, wouldn't come here for food, but not a bad place for hanging out

Cozy spot for drinks and great food

Quick service. Good food, good range and some interesting drinks. Lively atmosphere. Good energy and fun

Never had food ,but the atmosphere and the darts game were great fun .

Superb food and staff .. great food came out quickly.. TV's there with the sport on lol brilliant.. we came through from Stirling had food here b4 and came back and would come back again also would recommend this place and we have 2 people looking 4 somewhere to go thanku raven 👍👌cammy and dot Wylie 🤗🍺🍺

Booked The Raven for 12 of us for our annual Xmas day out. Great selection of beers & spirits. All staff are friendly and get you served quickly. There is only one thing I could suggest to improve on the pub, and that’s the gents toilet. When the pub is busy at weekends, it really could do with having a cleaner on shift to attend to it. It got gradually worse throughout the day due to the high footfall. Gets smelly and quite unpleasant to use. Other than that, can’t fault it. Several of the guys got food, hot dogs, tacos, wings etc. All were excellent . We will def use again next year! * we didn’t use the electric dart boards but have done in the past, they a good laugh!

Perfect to play darts with friends

Had dinner there served promptly smiling lady that I always like, very good menue great atmosphere they also have a dark board!!! Will go back again
