Moon & Raven

Moon & Raven Public House is an Irish/English/American tavern, offering dine-in and pick-up options, located on 155 W. 4th St, Williamsport, PA, 17701. The hours tend to fluctuate because of the pandemic and I would highly recommend calling ahead to ensure the restaurant is open. Although, walk-ins are accepted, the wait time could be longer. The unique atmosphere makes the patrons feel like they have walked into a private club house with dime-lighting and modern décor with a mixture of a pub.

The restaurant offers an exclusive selection of food and alcoholic drinks. Beginning with an appetizer, I would recommend the Irish Nachos that have a house-cut potato chips, Dubliner cheese sauce, bacon, scallions, sour cream, and black bean corn salsa. Another good option is the Lobsters & Crap Dip with your choice of baguette, house-fried corn tortillas or cucumber. For an entrée, you can select from their vegan and/or vegetarian options, or carnivore and pescatarian selection. If you want to keep is simple and traditional, the Moon & Raven Burger is exceptional with a blend of ground lamb and beef, shallots and herbs, topped off with bacon, smoked Gouda, caramelized onions and lettuce. If you chose to indulge in one of their signature plates, the Boneless Smoked Short Ribs with ground lamb and beef, with carrots, onions, and peas topped off with whipped potatoes and Dubliner cheese is an amazing dish. Finally, if you have space left to continue eating, then I would encourage having desserts. Personally, the Flourless Chocolate Tote with a blend of four chocolate finished off with Ganache and house-made raspberry is simple divine.
