The Raven is a gay bar and club in downtown Anchorage, on East 4th Avenue. It's a place for locals and visitors to meet other queer people in Alaska's biggest city.

They play music and sometimes have other entertainment, making it a good spot for a night out or to get tips from people who live here. For LGBTQ+ travelers, it's a familiar, community-focused spot right in the center of town. It's a simple, direct way to experience Alaska's queer nightlife.Opening Hours
