In the US "raw bar" usually means at the very least they have somebody who opens clams and oysters for an "on the half shell" presentation. Generally, don't expect much more.

My wife and I are in Charleston, SC on vacation this week. There is a restaurant down the street that advertises Raw Bar featuring Boiled Shrimp.

Huh?

I don't think you're alone, sivasushi.
