Irish Pub Celtic Ray in Punta Gorda Enjoy Florida Fun

It's not just music lovers from Charlotte County who gather at the Celtic Ray Pub. In fact, people who appreciate great live bands come from as far away as Sarasota and Naples to see who is taking the stage at this downtown Punta Gorda restaurant, which is as famous for its food (think British and Irish dishes like fish and chips, bread pudding, and Irish Guinness stew) as it is for its wide variety of music from national and regional acts to local favorites. It's housed in a historic building with stained glass windows, brick accents, and hardwood floors, as if it has always been there. You should arrive thirsty and ready to dance, because there are plenty of pints and ample space to do a jig.
