About this place The Raven

The Raven is a small gay bar on East 4th Avenue on the eastern edge of downtown Anchorage, and one of the few LGBTQ+ bars in Alaska. It works as a local neighbourhood bar where travellers can meet residents and get tips on the rest of the small scene. It opens daily at 15:00, closes at 23:00 Sunday to Thursday, and stays open until 02:30 on Friday and Saturday. We have little else on file, so check the bar's social media for events.
