Don’t let the lack of outside luster fool you. From the outside, the building looks understated, but step inside, and the place has got it going on… the menu, the music, the vibe … people are having a good time in here, and the food tastes great, and the booze is priced right, so you can have a few. Coming here is like stepping into Oz. Everything goes from black & white Sepia tones into Technicolor.

Excellent rock ’n’ roll venue! The Raven has just the right amount of grit that a true rock club should have. It regularly features both local and national acts, making it a great spot to catch up-and-coming bands as well as established names. The staff is always friendly, and the owner’s deep knowledge of rock ’n’ roll history makes the place feel authentic and connected to the music. One of the highlights is the massive mural on the side of the building, featuring New England legends like Nuno Bettencourt, Hugo Ferreira, and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler. Inside, you’ll also find an impressive rock ’n’ roll collection that adds to the atmosphere. Even if you’re just passing through, it’s worth a stop for the mural, the history, the vibe, and of course the music 🎶🎸
