Editorial Review for Raven Club – by Holly Glasen

The Scene
It's a long, narrow bar, bright in the afternoon, dim in the evening. Except when the Kings are playing, the atmosphere remains mellow in this friendly little space. If you're looking for a place to chat, the sound level's manageable most of the time, and the booths along the wall make for cozy perching. The bar offers free popcorn and one of the few cigarette machines left in Sacramento. Take advantage of the $2 well drinks, dartboards and golf video game. Challenge the friendly, attentive bartender to a game of liar's dice, or lose your money in the jukebox instead, which has the standard dive-bar mix of '70s rock, new wave and radio-friendly alt rock.

The Crowd
Regulars hail from the surrounding residential neighborhood; much of the clientele has simply walked across the street.

Insider Tips

Hail the Kings

You'd better be a Kings fan to party here. The mascot and some of the office staff, plus fans, flood in after home games, packing the Raven to the gills.

Munchies

Avoid a drunken stupor and order a meal from local bar/restaurant The Limelight. Deliveries to the Raven are free; there's a menu behind the bar.

One of Sacramento's Best

Nominated for eliminating extraneous diversions that distract you from your drinking.

Jimmy arogant pours a week drink and pays no attention to new patrons when he is gambling.! Seems like a day shift too political liberal know it alls. Not a fun place to be . Bartender brad usually hung over . weekly bartender a know it all. When have been in bar just seee drunk or drugged people in bar. do not recomend this bar owner must turn the other way to make money .

Pros: none

Cons: too small music outdated

This place is really-really small, but it has it's own crowd, I would actually stop here & drink then go to a club, it has the college crowd. keep in mind this is a standing bar that is really squished unless someone decides to get up from a booth, this is just a bar with a lot of college people drinking!

Pros: Cheap Drinks

Cons: No room to stand, Can't move in the bar

Editor's Review

It's a bare-bones bar, where the main entertainment is whatever's in the glass in front of you.  See the full editorial review.
