Review:
Raven Bar and Lounge is an intimate SoMa speakeasy and dance club themed around the legendary poem by horror writer Edgar Allan Poe. The club was originally opened in the 1990s as the Up and Down Club, noted for its Monday night jazz performances and trip-hop dance nights. Today, it brings '90s classics and modern pop and dance hits to its two vibrant dance floors, which host party nights every Friday and Saturday. Lounges on its upper and lower floors are home to three bars, which serve creative signature cocktails highlighting tropical ingredients. Design elements by San Francisco artist Michael Brennan evoke the feeling of noir film classics such as Dark Passage and The Maltese Falcon, with antique mirrors and dark leather booths adding to the secretive ambiance.
