Raven Bar

Located on the booming Folsom Street corridor, Raven is the newest entrant to emerge on the San Francisco bar/lounge scene, cleverly modernizing classic themes with premium cocktails. Designed by local artist Michael Brennan, Raven is a 21st century update of the shadowy, brooding hangouts from film noir classics like The Maltese Falcon and Dark Passage where secrets are shared. The bar’s subtle lighting, antique mirrors and dark leather booths pay homage to San Francisco’s reputation as a place of easy vice and hard virtue, the city that Ambrose Bierce famously described as “a point upon a map of fog.” Raven’s interior also boasts an upstairs and downstairs lounge with three bars, two DJ booths and two intimate dance floors. The bar opened its doors as The Up And Down Club in the 1990s when it was owned by world-famous model Christy Turlington Burns.  Known for their Monday night jazz sessions, acid rock & trip-hop, the venue made waves in the 90s SOMA nightlife scene.
