Ray's Place as a restaurant is about three or four stars. There's a lot on the menu, varying in quality, but at least you have the option.
Ray's as a bar is the best spot in Kent. The upstairs level is very college-y, with a pool table, full bar, and brightly lit. It's always packed.
The main floor/downstairs is cozily lit. The music is never intrusively loud, nor is the sound. Rays is the type of bar you can have a conversation at. If it's not a more mature crowd, then it's a more chill crowd. The people looking to get rowdy usually stop in to spin the birthday wheel and leave or go upstairs.
One thing I cannot praise Rays enough for is forcing their bartenders to be educated on how to properly make a drink. Their legendary Long Island's are always consistent in taste. I've never had a drink made so poorly it was undrinkable, which I can't say for other bars in the area.
Ray's is an awesome way to kick off, end, or even spend the night at. You'll never run into a sobbing drunk girl or someone passed out in the bathroom. You'll have quality drinks and a relaxed night.
