Red Raven Pub

Bit of a dump. The roof leaks hysterically when it rains or snows. The 25 dollar dances are overoriced but a couple of the dancers can give you an awesome time. You just have to hit the right time. Just keep yourvexpectations low and you moght be suprised

Cruddy bar, everything is over priced only accepts cash no charge cards nor debit either. As for me one visit was enough. I thought dumps like this were shut down years ago. They do have a package store attached. No reason to stop here unless you like high prices.

Only gonna comment for the weekday. Came in on a Tuesday and some of the girls were ok. The burger was decent although the bartender told me the cook had no tomatoes and the fries were not that good.
The music selection (which was played off a juke box) made me wanna hang myself! I don’t mind a different variety of music but damn it man… there’s never a live Dj and you can’t play your own music. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK! If your spending money on a dancer though, she might play what you wanna hear
They also have a vending machine with chips, cigs and candy. One old box model 27in TV facing the back of the bar. One pool table and one pinball machine.

I have traveled far and wide and visited a great many strip clubs. The Red Raven is your average, over priced, hole in the wall strip club that’s past its’ prime.
I just finished a visit there no less than 20 minutes ago. I spent 2 hours and saw a grand total of 6 dancers the entire time. Out of those 6 maybe 3 of them would rate higher than a 5 (out of 10) and only one of them — IMHO — was greater than a 7.
WAY OVER PRICED COUCH DANCES!!! $ 25 IS A RIP OFF!!!
I paid for 2 couch dances (Taking one for the team so I can write this review) — and only one of them was close to being worth it! Up until this day I have never paid more than $ 20 for a couch dance. To top it off — the dancer makes $ 10 while the house takes $ 15. From the strippers I’ve known over the years this is a total ripoff for the stripper too. Usually they would get $ 15 while the house makes $ 5. It makes them actually WANT to give couch dances.
So the first dance was absolutely horrible! The dancer took me to one room and saw it wasn’t going to work because I am tall. So she makes me get up and go to another room and then dances for the remainder (½) of the song and when it finishes says «Sorry — time’s up. House rules — I’m sorry!» then leaves.
For the same money you can get $ 5 couch dances in about 5 different clubs in Philly from the same quality dancers.
Don’t waste your money here — go somewhere else.

Generic Food Review
Before I begin my review, I would like to say I was surprised to see the Red Raven labeled as a «pub» because I never viewed it as such. So I looked up the definition:
Pub (noun) — also known as «Public House, Saloon, Pot house, Gin Mill or Tap house.»
Definition — Tavern consisting of a building with a bar and public rooms, often provides light meals.
After reading this, I stand corrected.
Red Raven Pub is a cement building located off of Lincoln Highway, also known as Business RT-​1, across the street from a trucking company and nestled in front of a trailer park.
At the front is a takeout area where you can get six-​packs of the finest libations and order food from their menu. To take in the full experience I recommend entering through the back door, where you will be taken by the aroma of cigarette smoke and cheap perfume. The room has a rectangular bar and is dimly lit with two stages in the middle of the bar. I am initially tempted by the vending machine which is fully stocked with bags of snacks and cigarettes, but that is not what I am here to partake in – I am here to indulge in their menu.
The menu, which is posted on the wall and also on little signs set up around the bar, contains a limited amount of items. It is your usual pub favorites; burgers, cheesesteaks, wings and shrimp. I personally believe that any good pub is defined by their burgers, so I chose the Black Angus Burger ($ 6.50) and a order of fries ($ 2.50). The bartender at no time asked me how I liked my burger cooked; this was disappointing to me because I enjoy my burgers medium.
It was promptly brought out to me by the older gentlemen working the grill. The burger and fries were served to me in a red plastic basket with wax paper in the bottom. The presentation was very basic with the burger closed with no lettuce, tomato or onions. A small dill pickle accompanied the sandwich and was met with a very large helping of fries.
The burger was pretty much your run-​of-​the-​mill frozen burger which was well-​done, but still was juicy. The fries were a nice surprise; though they were not seasoned, they were crisp and warm.
For drink I went with a Miller Lite bottle and was disappointed in the time it took to get another from the bartender.
Final Verdict: 3 stars out of 5
Pros: If you are looking for a burger made at a picnic with a nice helping of golden crispy fries, this place is for you.
Cons: Lighting could be better — I could barely see my food. Also the bartender could have done a better job keeping the drinks coming.
