Was Jayla Green at Ray's Pub a mag?

Every meal I've had has always been delicious. I had potato skins and a few daiquiri's, tried the grand Margarita from the happy hour menu.(this is about Rockne's) made a mistake on location. I do however enjoy a cold bud light at Ray's though!! View all feedback.

What Onie Bernier dislikes about Ray's Pub:

Rays helped me spend 15 dollars for a ticket because I guess they want to kill highland square by removing its best parking lot. Who would have guessed that running a bar in a bar district would attract people who try to have a nice time. View all feedback.

Great bar in the heart of Highland Square. It has a large space inside with plenty of seats and a decent sized patio. Good selection of beer and liquor. There is a pool table and darts. Parking behind the building is easy to access and can park behind Chipotle if that is full.

This restaurant is terrible. It is very noisy and the patrons are rude. Everything in the restaurant was sticky. The first bartender was excellent, but the second one...

After attending a matinee, we were in search of budget-friendly food and stumbled upon a place that felt like an extension of the lively New Britain nightlife scene in Ohio - more vodka and a pub setting.

The atmosphere of this place is reminiscent of Townhall in Cleveland - loud music, crowded, and serving simple drinks. I believe this spot is perfect for students and young adults.

Just fun. Who doesn't like getting a few brews in them and playing some vintage arcade games? Also friendly bartenders and good prices on alcohol make it a fantastic place to check if you are in the area and have a good time.

Nice small selection of pinball machines to get a quick fill on pinballing. Affordable beer prices. Bathroom is filthy but it doesn't bother me, I ain't fancy.

Generous pours at a great price with fantastic bartenders. Raycade is a great place to come to if you’re alone or looking to make friends, as it’s very easy to feel almost immediately welcome and at home here! It’s also one of the many dog friendly bars in highland square, so check it out for a pawsome time!

This is a fantastic local spot for friends to gather over affordable beers or expertly crafted mixed drinks! They have a range of free vintage arcade games to enjoy, or you can try your luck on the pinball machine. My only complaint is that the venue is quite small, and they play the music so loudly that it’s hard to have a conversation with someone sitting right next to you. However, I still highly recommend it. Just be sure to bring at least $10 on your card.

The bartenders are great, and the games are a lot of fun. The only drawback is that you have to pay for pinball. But there are other awesome games like Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam, Skee-Ball, and a shooting game. Overall, I had a fantastic time!
