The Raven

You'll find The Raven tucked away on Clare Street, that stretch of Broadmead that's quietly become a bit of a drinking destination. Walk in and it feels like the sort of place where bartenders actually care about what's in your glass—no faffing about with gimmicks, just well-made cocktails and people who know their business. The space has a grown-up energy without being stuffy; it's the kind of spot you'd bring someone you actually want to talk to, not somewhere you're going to get shouted at over house music.
