Celtic Ray Public House - Irish pub in Punta Gorda - 145 E Marion Ave, USA

I’ve always had such a great experience here! The staff are the heart and soul of this place – they're incredibly friendly and welcoming, easily the best in a 20-mile radius. Now, about the drinks – you're in for a treat! They serve them just right, making sure you get a great deal for what you pay. It's a refreshing change from other places around town. And the food – simply delicious! If you're not super hungry, check out the kid's menu. The kids fish and chips and kids chicken strips are a steal at $11 each. Definitely add a side of curry for an extra $3 – it's a small addition that makes a big difference. It's all about enjoying good food in a great atmosphere!

My husband and I were here after a show. Live music was great. Due to cold weather, we went inside to eat. Atmosphere is so much like an Irish Pub. So many great choices are available. I chose Guinness, of course. I tried the scotch egg small plate which was very good. It included a generous slice of buttered soda bread, grapes, coleslaw and mustard sauce. Then the authentic fish and chips was ordered. It was delicious. Prices were good. However, there were no wait staff available. We had to go to the bar to order. It was a Saturday night. Overall, it was good but ordering was weird. We'll most likely return. When the weather is better, we'll look forward to enjoying the Live music more. 🎶 Update: I didn't know 🙃 a traditional Irish Pub has "order at the bar" service. What I felt weird about is now quaint. We'll be back sooner.

Great place! Fun authentic atmosphere with lots of days that include live music. Excellent selection of beers both domestic and imported. Sumptuous Irish food served hot and fresh.

Our favorite Irish Pub and grill in Florida. The food has always been superb and staff friendly. Beautifully decorated and a more authentic Irish establishment you won't find in Florida.

Now this is one serious Irish Pub. Guinness poured perfectly and the food was AMAZING!!! Danny was awesome! So friendly and the atmosphere is perfect. I'll definitely be coming back for more!!

Celtic Ray! We ❤️ you! The beer selection is TOP NOTCH. Darian and Izzy took great care of us! We love drinking beer on the swinging tables outside. This place is a must go!

My wife and I made our first trip to the Celtic Ray a few days ago and the overall experience was top notch! Fantastic atmosphere, super friendly bartenders and the food was outstanding and believe me, we’re pretty tough critics. We had the potato leek soup, fish & chips and Guinness stew. We were greeted at the bar by the owner and had a wonderful conversation, can’t wait to go back!

Great fish! Not dry. Has a smooth batter. Goes great with tartar and vinegar. The coleslaw is sweet, yummy yummy. French fries seem home cut. seating is wrapped around the bar, not a typical restraunt. It's has cut nooks and crannies for a single person or a couple to squeeze into. Lots of cute pictures, signs, and writing on the walls. Much more seating outside, there are sun covers. Loved the potato and leek soup, very dense like a broccoli and cheese soup. Large potato chunks. Tried a guest beer blueberry wheat flavor, tasted like a dessert, incredible. The Irish soda bread was to die for. Its thick but soft and excellent for dipping. The people running it seemed nice. The only issues we had were they do NOT have sweet tea and they initially forgot our soup. Good service, will come back. Hoping they get a pumch card for those fish and chips haha. We all 3 left very full and waddling.
