What a neat find at Haven City Market! Located adjacent to Native Son, Raffael's is a step into a Southwestern vibe where guests can relax with their drinks away from the lively atmosphere of HCM. One of the coolest things about a speakeasy is the transition into the space. Here, there's a walkway and corner, then turn into the candle and subtle lit space. It's a small thing? But that bit of walk helps distance the mind and feel open to the special space. There is a bar with seating, a long high top, and bench & table booth-ish type seating. The colors are warm, reminiscent of sitting in a western sunset. Music plays - jazzy, alternative, happy music. We were greeted and seated by the friendly hostess, then welcomed warmly by the magic maker himself: the bartender! And what delightfully unique, and dare I say daring, concoctions he made! The cocktails each had a spin, an ingredient, something *different* from the norm, making it challenging for my friend and I to narrow down which delights to try! Even the popcorn was unique, with chili and nutritional yeast savoriness that was the perfect complement to our cocktails. My friend felt the Silver Cloud was quite the adult version of a smoothie dessert! She got ideas...I adored my Last Word. It was refreshing with the green chartreuse and incredibly not-put-down-able. Next up, she had the Bandolier. It was a very unique taste to her, pretty puckery, so the bartender - who checked on us regularly for impressions - added a bit more pineapple. That did the trick! My next was the Boulevardier, which was uniquely and deliciously twisted with the coffee and salt. Absolute yum!!! Even though there's a 90 minute limit, on this Thursday night there was plenty of space between imbibers, and we weren't pressured in any way to move along. Thank you, as we were due for a proper catch up. One thing we did notice, is that once there were more folks chatting and laughing, it became a bit echo-y and harder to hear. On a busier night, I imagine the ambience we first experienced- quieter, mellow, chill vibe - likely changes to more robust and lively. Either way, this place is a feels-far-away retreat worth "traveling" to. read more

My wife and I visited this place for the first time on a Friday night. The ambiance in this place is mellow, dim, with music that fits the space. The music isn't too loud which was nice as well. My wife and I tried several drinks between the two of us. All of them were very good. The staff were friendly and personable. Be aware that you may want to use the restroom prior to entering. If you have to use the restroom while inside, you'll have to exit outside and walk back into the market space to use one. This is a bar only, so plan accordingly to eat as there are no food items to order inside. 10/10 would recommend and my wife and I were glad we stopped in. This will be our go to local cocktail bar from now on. read more

It was our first time but not the last time. This place is a hidden gem in Rancho Cucamonga. We tried few drinks and they were all amazing. The only snacks they have is plenty of amazing popcorn on the house. Nice intimate place read more

They do not have food. It is a speakeasy cocktail bar. But let me tell you it is fabulous! We got the honor of working with the mixologist Griffin who totally outed himself with the mango foam on a drink, I let him create. We were all pleased with all of our cocktails they were well balanced well put together. It's really cute inside a New Mexico inspired theme with cow print a beautiful bar and decorated for the holidays. I will definitely be back. There was more on the menu. I wanted to try. read more

Fantastic new speakeasy that opened up 8 months ago! So excited that a spot like this is in my hometown. The layout and decor was very thoughtfully planned and the service was fast and easy. Drinks here were excellent and presentable. Sorry for not remembering the names of the drinks. The highlight for me personally was the popcorn. It was covered in a layer of spices making it really addicting and perfectly paring with the drinks! Will definitely be coming back soon!! read more

I came here with a girl friend on a Saturday night with reservations for 7:30pm. The entrance is to the side of Native Son. It's easy to spot because there's a host stand in front of the door with a sign. We were told there would be a 90 minute time limit but we stayed far past that and they seemed to be fine with it as long as we continued to order drinks. The inside is dimly lit with a bit of a modern southwestern flair to it. I personally think the big window/exit door at the end takes away from the "speakeasy" vibe but not a big deal at all. We were given unlimited popcorn, which was great to snack on with our drinks. We both ordered from the menu at first and I got the Blue Sky, which I thought was too sweet for my taste. For our next rounds, we opted to do bartender's choice and our drinks came out excellently. I told him I typically like gin and that I wanted something refreshing and herbal, and I got just that! I would recommend trying bartender's choice during your visit. read more

This speakeasy through a random door was a gem. Interior cozy, modern rustic with a touch of industrial chic. Drinks were served with unlimited amount of popcorn.

My friends and I went just as it opened and I was able to make a reservation online. I believe they do just drinks and not food (a lot of food options in haven city market). They had popcorn on the table but it was stale and really seasoned with a lot of pepper. The drinks were ok for the price, I didn't feel like they were super special. My friends wanted a dirty martini and our sever convinced them to get the house special take on a dirty martini and they were not a fan. read more

Been here several times but today for my birthday was terrible. Made a reservation for 10, asked the bartender if we could do split checks and he said yes. They kept coming up to us several times about us having so much time left to leave... Then when it came to pay, she said we couldn't do split checks anymore because we should have left earlier if we wanted to do split checks and to just Venmo each other. As a server/bartender myself, doing split checks for people is NOT hard. She could've done it but chose not to for some reason. We STILL tipped 18% despite them not even really checking on us much and them not wanting to split our checks for us and when our check was printed an additional 10% service charge was added. As much i loved coming here and was excited to bring my friends, i won't be coming here again. read more

This is a new business, I believe they said opened just a little over a year. The place was empty but I gotta tell you, I really liked the vibe. The bartenders and other staff were very friendly and the drinks were great. The decor is kinda funky and interesting. We were there about 2 hours and it really had a welcoming atmosphere. I fully intend to make it my local watering hole and you should check it out. I'm sure they'll appreciate the business. read more

First time here after being a long time Haven house customer but also one who loves a good speakeasy! So let's first talk about speakeasies. Speakeasies, a time prohibition era. Where liquor was forbidden. It was candlelit, moody and secretive. Coming into this speak easy, I get the concept. Loved the decorative aesthetics HOWEVER, I was hoping for more of a secretive moody vibe than what I walked into. It wasn't bright but, I felt it lacked the intimacy that, I guess I was expecting, given it was a speakeasy. The candlelit adobe fireplace was def my fav! A vibe! The wall to wall mocha cabinetry felt a little "kitchen vibe" It didn't match with the delicious drinks being slayed! Bartenders are chefs kiss! Attentive, quick, efficient and delivers an esthetically pleasing drink that also taste delicious! Zero complaints there. The Guy at the front door however, seemed a little cold and unwelcoming. ( Asian guy. Idk name just dry. Not mean, not rude but dry) hostess was very sweet. Hostess sat us to our spots where popcorn and already poured water was set. To me, I personally would like to see a fresh glass poured to know water has not been sitting at the bar for lord knows how long. Idk just a weird concept. I get it, but just odd. Pop corn was good but a bit stale. They made. A fresh batch and was 100% all in. All in all, A great spot, great spot for the drinks, staff was attentive as mentioned just the ambiance was missing what the deliverance. Have some suggestions from a design perspective if interested. Great spot and can see it being such a great addition to growing community! read more

Great place. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you Jazmin, Casey, and Suki for a great night and good conversation. I never had to wait long for my drink and I didn't felt rushed. They are willing to listen to your likes and make the perfect cocktail for your preferences. They take reservations which is always a plus. I enjoyed the atmosphere, it's great to have a place where you can actually talk to your party (not yell) and get great classic cocktails. Oh and they make amazing gimlets! read more

Honestly this speakeasy was just meh. It was disappointing entering in and the place was a little bare. Lights were all on and not a dim speakeasy vibe. I reserved the bar top and they sat me at a low bench. It was awkward for 3 of us to have a conversation sitting on a bench.... There were 3 bartenders but only one actually bartending so our drinks took about 20 min while it was empty. The popcorn was soggy. Western theme but no western music? A MILLION cabinets but only room for one bartop and BENCHES to sit on. I will say the drinks were very good and VERY strong read more

We came here to celebrate a birthday and this place took me by surprise. I've walked past it so many times and never knew there's a lounge here. It's small, cute and clean.

Great place for a date or to visit with friends. read more

Griffin and Sookie are the best! They made my friend's bday at RSCL so enjoyable and memorable. The design and overall ambience were on point. We were taken back in a timely manner and service was quick. We were checked on just the right amount of times. The staff is very accommodating and they give great recommendations. You will not be getting watered down cocktails here. Everything is crafted with unique artisanal ingredients and made STRONG. I also loved that they had a section of delicious non-alcohol cocktails for the DDs of the group like me to enjoy so I don't feel totally left out. Their hatch chile chipotle popcorn is delicious. Would highly recommend RSCL! Definitely make a reservation! read more

The drinks were excellent and sophisticated and made with great attention to detail. Sitting at the bar was not like being at your typical bar, but moreso a unique experience with great conversation and attentiveness from the staff. I loved that my bartender, Suki, made a few cocktails off the menu with only knowing a few details about my flavor palette and completely nailed it. This is my new favorite local bar and I will definitely be back. read more

We visited with h a party of six and later requested to add two people to our party. We already had the large booth and could have fit four more people comfortably. The entire time we were there, there was a minimum of fifteen open seats at various size tables. Now, when the 7th and 8th members of our party arrived at the door we politely ask if they can join our party (being that we had plenty of room at our table). We were denied several times. The manager stated they had reservations coming in. We stayed for another hour and the place never filled up. So, we advised the manager that prioritizing a large paying party for the illusion of exclusivity is a poor business practice and we left. We will not be returning and the one of that was a weekly regular will no longer refer people to this establishment. By the way we paid a substantial table for a party of six...... read more

Last night my husband and I went in to Raffael's for the first time. When I asked the bartender Suki for suggestions about the non-alcoholic drinks, he laughed and said "coming into raffaels and ordering a non-alcoholic drink." He then tried to persuade me to order one with alcohol. I explained I am sober, I won't be ordering those, he continued to push the alcohol drinks on me. While we were drinking our drinks, mine without alcohol. Suki handed me a gold coin and told me to come back when I'm not longer sober and he will serve me a real drink. I told him I am an alcoholic to which he replied, "thats not my problem." I told him its disrespectful and rude to hand out coins and encourage people to break their sobriety. Something needs to be done about this. read more

A Speakeasy With Swagger (and Popcorn, Apparently) Raffael's Silver Club Lounge is that sneaky little spot hiding in the back of Haven City Market like it's trying to keep the cool kids out. Joke's on them, because I live five minutes away and will happily strut over like I own the place. The Southwestern speakeasy vibe? Very chic. Very "I have secrets but also impeccable taste." Cocktail-wise, they've got a solid lineup of crafty concoctions...enough options to make you feel like a sophisticated adult even if you order the prettiest drink on the menu. My only gripes (because I always have notes): Espresso martini people deserve fresh espresso. Mr. Black is cute, but he's not that cute. Complimentary seasoned popcorn is... fine. But mama needs a small bite. A nibble. A nosh. Something that doesn't remind me of waiting for a movie to start. Even with my sass, it's absolutely a spot worth checking out at least once. Just don't forget to snag a reservation....they don't play around with the walk-ins! read more

Cocktails were good, but the service was surprisingly slow considering there were only three parties inside but maybe they just didn't want to bother? It's a newer spot, so maybe they're still figuring things out. I kind of wish they had a fun entry experience (like a code or a unique way to get in) rather than just checking in at the front. For a speakeasy, I had different expectations. That said, everyone was super friendly, and my boyfriend actually said he'd come back. So overall, a good spot with room to grow! read more
