Moon and Raven Public House

Great pub! Good selection of beer and ciders. Many local brews! If you like fish and chips they make an excellent platter! Me and my fiancé go here when we want a little night out. Great service everytime we go!

Moon and Raven is a favorite do lunch, dinner, or just a cold beer from their excellent selection of taps! Food quality is excellent. Service is friendly and efficient. If you’re looking for a terrific selection of Irish pub themed food in a downtown, comfortable setting this is the place! The menu offers the best Fish and Chips in the region — Perfectly cooked fish every time. For a quick lunch break, try the French dip. On the appetizer side don’t miss the freshly-​baked pub pretzel.

The beer selection and atmosphere is really cool especially for Williamsport. I found the prices very reasonable especially for the selection and caliber of beers they had on draft.
However the food and service definitely could use some improvement.
I went here on a Saturday night with a group of friends. It was almost 10 so the kitchen was closing soon so we did our best to order from the late night menu. I ordered fried pickles and cheese fries. My fried pickles came out hot even though our ordered seemed to take much longer then normal especially for average bar food. The fried pickles were different then any I had had before. They were not spears or chips, instead they were more like chunks? But I actually really liked the flavor and style.
The cheese fries is where we started having problems. The fries came out and and right away I noticed something wrong. While the fries were good it appeared there was barely any cheese on them, and some of the cheese was even not melted. I mentioned this to the server and asked for more cheese on the fries, at which point she left and brought back a container of shredded cheese? When I mentioned to her that that is not what we expected when we ordered cheese fries she said «well that’s how we do it» How was I supposed to know when ordering cheese fries that they would expect me to eat cheese with cold shreeded cheese on top? It was absolutely rediculous. She did take the fries (and $ 1.50 she had charged me for the «extra» cheese) off my bill but her attitude was unnecessary.
I may give moon and Raven a try again for a drink but wouldn’t venture near the food or that server.

My sister in laws and I stopped for lunch on Friday. We are from Wellsboro. Loved everything! The food, the décor, the vibe. The waitress was very pleasant, our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, and was delicious. Love the «wee» portions available on the menu. We had a great meal… can’t wait to bring our husbands!

In the top five places to get a beer in Williamsport. Great menu. Nice atmosphere with no riff raff. Prices are a little more but it’s definitely worth it.
p.s get the fries, the sauce they serve with it is amazing

Good beer selection. Too bad the food isn’t up to par. Every time I’ve eaten here, the food had zero seasoning.

My favorite place in town. Cocktails are amazing and reasonably priced. I’ve never had a bad dish here. Everyone there is incredibly nice and they’re all a pleasure to have. My favorite drinks are the Moscow mule, the Irish coffee, and the Cosmo. Favorite dishes are the turkey club, Moon & Raven burger, fish & chips, and Asian salad.

Food was very good, chicken pot pie and guiness stew was excellent! Would for sure come back if in the area.

I haven’t had this great a brunch in a long time.
We were here for brunch on a Sunday. The atmosphere is really bright and sunny and seating is plentiful. The server was friendly although she forgot to come around and fill us up with fluids until we asked but other than that she was still polite and accommodating.
The menu was very diverse and really prides itself with authentic Irish dishes. The servings were larger portions so come hungry!
They do serve gluten free toast (thanks to the gluten free bakery right beside it) and you can even have the rum french toast with the gf bread!
I highly recommend the broiled grapefruit doused in brown sugar and the bangers, mash and beans dish. The local Amish bangers were «bangin» ;)
Local coffee is served and as I didn’t indulge in the Sunday cocktails they did have Irish coffee and mimosas that looked worth it.

Bartenders here are great, and the cocktail menu is A+…I’m a fan of the Sazerac. Beer selection is good as well, and there is a nice choice of bottled soda for non drinkers. Food is good, but limited for vegetarians. Hope to see this expanded perhaps.

Big party… well handled. Food was great, as always and so was the service. From the wait staff to the bartender, everything was great.
Happy father’s day to me!

Had a date here with my Husband last week… Very neat and unique place! The style and décor is very cool. Laid back vibe. Little bit of a wait on a Saturday night but no biggie, plenty to do to bide the time. If you can get one of the tables in the front of the restaurant there are two huge windows that open completely to the street. Pretty cool.
Food was good and came in a timely fashion. My Husband enjoyed the beer. Good iced tea. We would certainly go back again.

Ice tea is the bomb!!!
Who knew it could taste so good
Shout out to Rachael good service as always.

We love the Moon and Raven. It’s our go-​to spot in the greater W-​port area — and for good reason.
The food is consistently good. The beer list is just about the best anywhere within a 30 mile radius, and the environment is very welcoming.
Perhaps our favorite features are 1) the lack of TVs and 2) the propensity for people to get up, move around, and visit — probably due in no small way to #1.
It’s so nice to be able to go somewhere to eat and have a few drinks and hear the people across the table from you — yet so many places have chosen to drown out conversations with useless music or distractions.
Sports bar this is not. Pub in the UK sense more like it. If you want to go somewhere lively, enjoy some good food and drink, and you like to be in pleasant surroundings, this is the place in Williamsport to find those things.

Beautiful location and bar. Staff was very down to earth and connected well with patrons and helped in directing me towards items that I would enjoy.
I had the hot pretzel app which was great hot, but average as it cooled (hint — eat it when it comes out) and the Pickle Bites (recommendation from the bartender). Very good — crispy, lots of flavor and just the right amount of breading and flavor. For dinner I had the Guinness Stew and it was just ok. I was steered towards the Shepherds pie and decided against it — I should have a listened. The Guinness Stew could have come from a Progresso can.
Morgan was the bartender and did a good job sharing what «was good vs what was popular». Staff is half your experience and they didn’t disappoint on food or service! Only reason for 4 stars — it is bar food. I would go back for a great atmosphere, bartenders and really good bar food. Listen to your bartender if you want great food.

I’ve been here for cocktails before, but this was the first time eating. We had a party of 4 and I got to try other dishes, which is always a treat. My husband and I both ordered the fish n’ chips, really love that they have different portion options. Fish n’ chips were satisfying. Had some of the veggie sandwich a member of our party ordered and it was very tasty. The 4^th person at our table enjoyed the Shepard’s pie. I will say that the coleslaw did not blow up my skirt, but it’s a after thought of a side dish, so I wasn’t put off by it. The salad section of the menu looked uninspiring, but I don’t think this is the place to get a salad. I would be interesting in trying their burger next time around.
The décor/​atmosphere plays into the Vicotrian history of Williamsport, while also being trendy and «of the moment».
Overall, I would definitely come back here for dinner, and I’m curious to check out their brunch next time I’m in town. My husband was not overly impressed with the beer list. My wine was fine, but I’m no sommelier, if it’s wet and is alcohol I’ll drink it!

The Moon and Raven has a great atmosphere and an excellent selection of beer. Unfortunately, that is where the pleasantries end. Nearly every time I’ve visited, the service has been awful. If you can get a beer, good luck getting a 2^nd one. The food takes forever and the waitresses always seem to be miserable.
On one occasion, an out-​of-​town friend and I were 2 out of the 3 people sitting at the bar. Upon consumption of our beverages, we looked for the bartender to have another. She was at the opposite end of the bar, talking to the only other person there (who wasn’t even drinking) and appeared to be an off duty staffer. We tried to get her attention for nearly a half hour while we caught up on conversation, waving at her anytime she would almost look our way. Finally, she returned to our side of the bar to check on us. We ordered two more beers. Almost immediately, the owner came out from the back and told us to quickly finish our drinks and leave as they are closing. We could barely get service and once we do, you basically kick us out. Unbelievable.
On another occasion, I tried to buy bulk gift cards to give away at my company xmas party as gifts. The bartender told me I would need to speak with the owner who was currently sitting at a booth, talking to patrons. She then left to inform him. We waited for 20 minutes, having the bartender go over and remind him once more. He just continued talking and never came over to help, so we left. We were going give them money AND introduce numerous patrons to their new establishment. Apparently, the poor service and bad business sense start at the top and trickles down to the rest of the staff. Until they make the customer a priority, I will be steering my friends and family away from this place.

Okay, it’s been well over a year now and the M&R is still our go-​to place for dinner. They have expanded the menu having added various salads (the Thai is my favorite), a steak, catfish, etc. The food never disappoints. My favorite has become the creole, though I get it made with chicken as I don’t eat shrimp.
One of the best additions is that they are now open for Sunday brunch. The menu is small but interesting. One must-​try is the colcannon. I had never had it before and found it to be very tasty.
It seems that the negatives in other reviews are centered around the service and wait times. It’s true you may have to wait a while but that is due to the atmosphere encouraging people to linger. The kitchen’s ticket times have definitely gotten better over time.
As we have been there many times we have gotten to know most of the servers and some are definitely better than others. But all are friendly if you engage them.
Overall, the M&R is a place you should definitely try. And, as with all restaurants, if you have a bad experience let the owners know. Then give them another try. I suspect you will have a better experience.

Good beer, good food. Especially, pretzel is a must try appertizer, board options of dipping sauce as well, but the waiting for a waitress to serve your table may take a long time.

The food was delicious, authentic Pub atmosphere, great selection of beer, attentive & friendly waitstaff and spotless restrooms! What’s not to love? We’ll be back
