Great staff, though they were out of sashimi the bartender remembered me from a previous visit

We tried this place after a recommendation from the internet sent us searching for this tiny bar. We had stayed at the Blackhawk a few months ago and had no idea that we were so close to such a hidden gem the entire time. The interior was super dark. The social distancing was done well despite how small it was inside, and there was a lot of outdoor seating as well. The cocktails were wonderful -- refreshing and unique. I had the pineapple martini and my husband had the kiwi. I also ordered a glass of the pineapple juice and it was DELICIOUS beyond words. All their juices are fresh pressed, not from cans or concentrate. We also had the charcuterie board and it was absolutely yummy. Variety of meats and cheeses including smoked duck (to die for!), green olives, and spectacular bleu cheese crumbles. We want to come back and try more of their food items but we had already eaten a huge dinner and were beyond full. read more

RAW - Fresh pineapple juice and a pineapple martini. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

My friends and I got the spicy and hibiscus margaritas and all thought that they were weak, but they were also 8 dollars. It was semi-easy for our group of 4 to walk in and get a table on a Saturday night around 6pm. For a quick, cheap cocktail this spot did the trick! read more

Cool place, great staff, disappointing cocktails. Stopped in here after dinner on a Saturday and was surprised to see it empty but for one couple. The decor/furnishing of the bar is great, it's got a great look. We opened the menu and were completely baffled. The cocktails are listed without ingredients, so it's very hard to know what you're actually ordering. Our server came over and very patiently explained the menu to us and helped us order. We got a King Kong, and Tart Cherry Tonic, and a strawberry kiwi martini (gross-sounding, I know). The server was super friendly and helpful (short lady with long braids). My drink (the tonic) was fine, I thought it tasted very watered-down, but that might just have been the style they were going for. My husband's (the King Kong) was also fine but also kind of weak. However the martini was really quite gross. It's fundamentally a tiny smoothie with vodka in it, not at all appetizing. He had a couple sips but left it undrunk. We urged him to send it back but he was too shy. Main takeaways: Big problems with the menu. Drinks need to have at least a couple ingredients listed. I used to be a server and if I had to explain every drink it would drive me crazy. Also there's too much on the drink menu. Do less and do it better. If you end up here, order a classic cocktail off-menu, it'll probably be good. read more

RAW - Left to right: King Kong, Tart Cherry, Strawberry Kiwi Martini - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

I must start by saying I am not a huge liquor drinker. I have an amazing palate though. I had a pineapple tonic, which was good. But I saw a jalapeño pineapple margarita delivered next to me and knew I HAD to have one. Holy cow, the heat from jalapeño, sweet from the pineapple, and smoky from the mezcal ! Hands down best cocktail I've had. My husband ordered the King Kong old fashioned, and it wasn't his favorite. The regular old fashioned he said was fantastic! read more

I can see why everyone raves about this place. Only stopped in for a drink but the music was cool and chill and I love the atmosphere. I see this as a place to hang out with friends and enjoy some really quality cocktails and some light bites. I can personally vouch for their old fashioned. And with such great service, I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

RAW - Such a classy looking bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

This is the best bar you will ever go to! I am not from the area and every time I visit, I want to come here! The ingredients are fresh. Every drink I've ever had there has been so good! I want to try the food eventually too. Great atmosphere as well. read more

Great service, they have also expanded the fromage and cutteries menu. Pineapple Yum Yum is to die for but has since been changed to the Kiwi Yum Yum; much better I might add less tart. Blood Orange is my recent Fave @ this location. Custom Cocktails and creation lab is a main reason to visit this location as well as fresh fish. Few I have seen with such a fresh pokie bowl! :) Great Marlin & Ahi! In winter, I see more salmon. I would call ahead to see the list. Vey progressive atmosphere & music. -urban industrial decor all the while maintaining a comforting unencumbered feel. read more

I just moved to the quad cities from the east coast. I am accustomed to having fresh seafood all the time. Unfortunately, everywhere I tried in the quad cities disappointed.... Until I went to RAW. The fish they have is caught the same day and flown in from Hawaii. The fish changes daily due to what they get flown in. They have delicious drinks, made with fresh fruit and authentic flavors. The vibe is relaxed and upbeat, perfect for a casual night out with friends or a date night. I am absolutely obsessed with this place and will be back to try everything on the menu! read more

Drake is the usual bar tender here and he is absolutely the best by far. Will definitely be back and am highly satisfied with the service. The new Ukrainian mule is so good highly recommend. read more

The staffing here was pretty bad. There was only one person working hard to serve everyone but could not manage it by herself. After 45 minutes without getting our order taken we just left. read more

Absolutely delightful. We stopped in for an early happy hour around five and were the only people in the restaurant. We had delicious cocktails and a fabulous cheese plate. Prices are very reasonable, service is quick and kind, and the space (if you can go when it's not too busy!) is wonderful. It was a lovely way to begin our Saturday night. read more

I was in Davenport for one night and needed a late night bite to eat and a drink. The bar had a fun atmosphere and the person behind the counter was laid back, helpful, and made great cocktails. I wish I was staying longer so I could visit again! read more

We were visiting from Chicago and this is the second time we went to Raw. Great place to have specialty cocktails! And the bartender was fantastic, provided us with cocktail options, some activities to do in Davenport and even got us a reservation at Duck City. He was so awesome. Thank you so much. We will be back very soon! read more

Cool atmosphere but the cocktails literally tasted like shit. Worst drink I've ever had.

Go see Macy; she provided exceptional customer service and the cocktails and the Poke bowl are wonderful!

One of my favorite spots in the QCA. This place has a unique theme and sticks to it - delicious, simple food and drink with high quality ingredients, served in small batches. The staff is exceptionally friendly and always willing to cater to any specific needs. I took my parents who don't drink alcohol and Brant made them non-alcoholic beverages they both loved. They always have something for vegetarians/vegans as well which is nice. This is a great date night spot and good for a quick drink before a concert. Few spots compare. read more

Fantastic ceviche, charcuterie, and cocktails. Love this place!

I adore Raw. The service is always great, but the DRINKS. The drinks are spectacular. I make it a practice to order something new every time I go and always come away with a new favorite. Absolutely fantastic. read more

This place had a nice poppy/newer music and vibe. The service was good, yet the drinks didn't quite deliver as expected. My glass was not washed well from who had used it prior, it was kind of a turn off for the rest the time there. read more

Hubs and I stopped here for date night. We will definitely be back. The atmosphere is fantastic, top shelf liquor, and great service. I highly recommend the Skeleton Key read more

Management left one girl to serve the entire restaurant, we waited 45 minutes for a drink and unfortunately we lost patience before we were even able to put in an order. If you aren't sitting directly at the bar and are extremely demanding read more

I am so jealous that the people of Davenport have a place like this. Great atmosphere, friendly wait staff, outstanding and creative drinks and lovely tapas. Love this place! read more

Nice small little upscale bar in downtown. The drinks are very high end and have a price to go with it. Old fashioned specialty for those looking for a true old fashion. read more

Great Tuesday drink special. Cool atmosphere and concept.

What an awesome place!! Drinks are great - love the fresh ingredients! Even a Cherry Bomb Blonde is better here because the cherries are the best! We've only eaten there a couple times but when we have the food is wonderful. Best of all the staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable! Topped off with a great atmosphere!! You can't go wrong here! read more

Solid spot. Served food late and had a lot of Samuel Smith's organic beers. Strawberry is the best in case you were curious. AND the sashimi isn't half bad. In Iowa. Who knew? read more

I went here with one of our sons, when it was newly opened after a Ben Folds concert at the Adler. It was amazing then.....Last night , I convinced my husband to stop in there before the Jason Mraz concert. He's not a liquor enthusiast, but the appetizers looked inviting. The "waitress" brought the menu book and said she'd give us a 'quick minute' to look it over. Fifteen minutes later, after watching her fix drinks for folks at the bar ( I totally understand the staffing shortages) and then settle back for a 'break', I decided to approach the bar and ask for assistance in placing our order. The gentleman took our order...two drinks and a charcuterie board. They were delivered to our table in a reasonable time. One of our sons is the beverage director for the Alinea group in Chicago, so I know our expectations may be a little high. The drinks were good and the board was delicious, though a bit pricey for the quantity. Again, I know the reality of the world we live in. We got the bill (no, "can I get you anything else ?") I usually pay without looking at the details, but this time...there was a charge for something we didn't order. When I brought it to the attention of the 'server' she promptly took it off, but it sealed my decision to not return to Raw again. read more

Disappointed with the service. Many items were not available. We ordered 2 caprese salads and only one got delivered. We were told that they could not make the other only after we asked. read more

Amazing food, great people, awesome staff and prompt service. Their blood orange margaritas were delicious. I dined here 3 times during my stay in Davenport, I plan on going back next time I visit and I wish there was one where I live. read more

Such a great establishment! Top shelf liquors, innovative craft cocktails, and great appetizers to top it off! Love the atmosphere very upscale yet fun and chill. The mural & wall art real add an organic type feel to the place! I've never been there when I didn't see the owner. I personally love that, as it gives me confidence RAW is here to stay! read more

Raw has been 100% every time I've visited. From the atmosphere to the food to the awesome staff, you can't go wrong. Especially with that King Kong drink! read more

By far our favorite cocktails in town and the best atmosphere! The blood orange margarita, the blackberry old fashioned, and the tart cherry tonic are all excellent. Outstanding tequila selection! The sashimi is amazing too! read more

If you have 30 minutes to wait for service, check it out. Great drinks, HORRIBLE service. Instead check out CRU around the corner, much better service and similar atmosphere. read more

This is a must visit bar for anyone looking for a truly great selection of drinks. Best liquor selection in Davenport!

Obsessed with this place. So reasonably priced for such an upscale and awesome atmosphere. Unique menu with amazing taste.

Food was fresh and delicious. Our server, Richard, was fantastic and was super attentive and made the meals very enjoyable. I'm not from the area, but would definitely come back. Don't miss this place! read more
