**A great spot to finish your night** I somehow lost my nose ring and can't remember leaving 😅 but I danced my butt off and def know I had a blast. Great vibe, music, and drinks. Friendly security and bartenders. Definitely check the upstairs.

My group walked into the bar, and their bouncer followed us and forced us to buy a drink. We tried to order 2, but that wasn’t good enough for them. I never felt forced to buy drinks at.a bar, especially in SF. We wanted to come in and enjoy a fun night, but this bar clearly has different priorities in mind. If you want to have fun and don’t want to feel pressured, stay away from this bar. We will never go back.

Went a few times at this club because of the danceable music 90’s 2000’s top 50 type. It appears they know what music to play as it was crowed which is not too bad just means people want to be there. Environment was nice. TV screens playing music videos of the songs being played. Only issues are the drink prices is a bit pricey and witness security / bouncers being rough with the guests.

Raven Bar was fun 10 years ago, and it's still fun now! BEST dance club I know that plays 90s and early 2000s music. My girlfriends and I had a great time, met and made new friends, and we will definitely be back!

PLEASE LIMIT THE MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY OF THE UPSTAIRS! The music and atmosphere are honestly great.. that's what I'm attributing the stars to but it was so insanely overpacked.. it ruined my groups experience. There were just constant elbows in our backs and people started pushing a fight almost broke out with our group and the people next to us. So awful. Would have been a 5-star review if that did not have such a negative effect.

The bouncer kicked my friend group out because I bumped into another women and I said sorry and then the bouncer kicked me out ! I talked to the manager and he believe the bouncer over my story so DONT GO HERE AND WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! The bouncers are creeps and will kick you out for you money! I tried to get the bouncer and mangers name but they laughed in my face and wouldn’t give it to me. Poor customer service DO NOT GO HERE GO TO ANOTHER BAR OR CLUB!!! This is my first review ever! And i’m telling you don’t go here!
