TGIT, November 17th, 4 – 6pm, The Raven Tavern

Once upon a Thursday dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door— “‘Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “saying its TGIT – Only this and nothing more.”

The Raven Tavern is located at 1651 Victoria Ave, Oxnard, CA 93035. Please join us there from 4- 6 pm on Thursday, November 17th, for TGIT and nothing more.

The Raven features a Happy Hour that includes:

  • $5 Raven beers and $1 off other fine ales
  • $8 – $14 glasses of special Wine and Rose wines
  • $5 Well drinks and $2 off other cocktails
  • $5 Hand Pies, including Cornish Chicken, Steak and Mushroom, and Veggie Hand Pies
  • $4 Raven fries
  • $9 Smoked Salmon Blini, and MORE!

Friendliness, humor, hospitality, fine food and drinks: all these combine to create The Raven Tavern experience. There is nothing to equal the ambience of a great tavern, nothing to match its casual and attractive sociability. Our goal is to allow you to relax and be yourself, to take pleasure in company and enjoy the art of conversation; to enjoy good wholesome food with satisfying and distinctive drinks.

Hospitality that exudes naturally from our staff; with a good-natured mixture of gossip, wit, conversation, debate and information, proffered with friendly and efficient service.

“Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend!” I shrieked. Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”
