I've been coming here for years now, but this is my first time leaving a review. Revel is a great space to try new wines and catch up with a friend, attend a wine tasting or blind-tasting event, or listen to live music. I enjoy sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender/server about the wines they have. I can always find a wide variety of wines and something I've never tasted before. The environment is welcoming with a touch of sophistication (although the dress can be very casual). I typically only come for the wine, but the cheese/charcuterie options are unique and tasty if you want something to snack on. Oh and if you go on Tapas Tuesdays, you get a free tapa with every glass of wine! read more

I've been a regular here, so tonight especially disappointed me. The wine and ambiance are solid, but the service was inexcusable. We ordered four simple items (cheese, pickles, olives, bread) and waited over an hour without a word. When we finally asked where our food was, the bartender admitted he hadn't even started it and asked if we still wanted it. We took just the cheese to cut our losses. He comped the cheese. We paid full price for the wine we'd been sitting with the whole time. This place has goodwill to burn through. They're burning it. Won't be back. read more

I was the designated driver. I didn't have a sip of alcohol. I was kicked out for being overly intoxicated. This bar is an absolute joke and they'll kick you out if you're not making money for them. Despite the fact that they insist you have a safe drive home, they'll kick out your driver, even if you have 6 people drinking read more

My husband and two close friends, and I finally (embarrassed to say!) ventured into Revel! It was a celebration because they just got married over this past weekend and we wanted to keep the party going! We absolutely love wine and their selection was outstanding! We ordered a higher end bottle as a gift. Our server-bartender , Sara, was sensational! She chatted about the specific bottle we chose, shared a bit about the business, and helped us pick a charcuterie board to share! The atmosphere has a quirky-elegant, creative vibe, celebrating local artists with the paintings and ceramics for sale. As an artist myself, I especially loved the large mural encompassing the entire space! The snack choices were perfect! The fig jam, cheeses, and warm baguette really hit the spot and paired well with the wine! Our friends had a blast! We are really looking forward to the next celebration there! read more

Has potential but we were there around 8pm and stayed for over an hour and could not get the bartenders attention and there was one "server" that kept walking back and forth and we couldn't get service. The place was crowded but the service didn't improve even after the place emptied out. The only reason we stayed is because we were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time and were getting caught up. Vibe was good, and it was nice that they had a two person ensemble playing sax & keyboard, but their service is lacking. I hope they get some help, they would sell more drinks and make more to stay in business. read more

I went here with a friend who enjoyed the wine, while I ordered food from their make-your-own charcuterie board menu. Many cheeses and meats to choose from as well as almonds, olives (my favorite kinds of both of these!), pickles, peppers, dried fruit, and more. I loved all of the options here! I also like the space, especially the seating in the window so you can look out onto 9th Street and see what's happening there, near 4th Avenue. They have regular events as well like listening parties and live musicians, so check those out! read more

I've been to this bar a few times with a small group of friends. I've also been for some of their listening parties for Whitney Houston, Usher, etc. which are always fun. The servers are true winos and can guide you to the right glass. The owner is typically at the bar when I come and is a very pleasant guy. I like that they let you select what goes on your charcuterie board so you can experiment with flavors. They serve port wines too! My only complaint is that they don't serve wine flights. I recommend this spot as a pretty dinner meetup with a friend or two (it can be loud sometimes) or a date night. read more

Revel - Wine Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Best wine bar I've been to. The sommeliers know their stuff and offer only the best selection of wines. The wine is actually served at proper temperature for the type, which seems to be a rarity in Tucson. Very friendly staff that would be happy to explain anything to you, even if you know nothing about wine. The ambience is laid back and intimate. It's a nice, clean space with ample room at the bar or cozy corners to tuck away into. If you're a Tucsonan looking to learn more about wine, or just enjoy a glass don't miss this hidden gem! read more

We were in town for a couple of days and looking for a quiet spot for a drink and discovered REVEL. located just off 4th street this cozy wine bar has an interesting selection of wines by the glass as well as a build your own charcuterie menu. I enjoyed a couple of glasses of a sparkling white burgundy and my wife savored the French Rhône. The charcuterie menu allows you to mix and match cheese, meat and other items and was very reasonably priced and was just what we needed food-wise. While service was a bit on the leisurely side of things, we were in no hurry and the three folks working seemed to be doing their best. A great little spot. read more

The wine selection here is always nothing short of impressive. After a long and hot 103 degree day yesterday, the Elk Cove Pinot Blanc was the perfect way to start off our evening. Revel is such a cool local find- where style and community converge. Everyone is approachable and knowledgable about all things wine. Make this your new summer hang! read more

Quite the selection of wine. Atmosphere is beautiful. Classic, small and quiet. Great spot for enjoying a book and wine or enjoying an evening with a friend. Take your pick. Music was played at a perfect level for conversation and savoring your wine. Not a large selection of food. You have a handful of options to make a charcuterie board. Everything I had chosen was delicious. Bread that was brought out had a great crust and soft in center. Wish there was some butter to top it. read more

We went to a private sparkling wine tasting at Revel. Todd is very knowledgeable about the four wines we tasted - the history, the regions, the grapes, the methods, and more! He even gave us a printed page with the descriptions and room to take notes if we liked. I was pleasantly surprised when we were offered a lovely, nutty cheese and bread to eat along with our tasting. Sparkling wines, especially, do not sit well for me without food. The space itself is warm industrial - exposed brick, high ceilings, with wood touches throughout. A private tasting is a unique, fun idea. We'll also be back to partake of their regular wine and small plate menu! read more

Tried a few glasses of wine while in Tucson. The service was pretty good. I was surprised to see we were the only people in their. It's a very nice set up with a long bar area and tables along the wall. They had a nice selection of red and white wines as well as port wine. I forgot to ask if they serve food. I didn't see it on the menu ? Finding parking wasn't easy but we look forward to trying this place again when we visit Tucson. read more

This is a quaint quiet little wine bar off of 4th Avenue. There is a long bar with some bench seating along the opposite wall. They have a range of wines available. I love that their menu gives a description of the different flavor notes you can find in each wine. I found myself trying new wines because of the descriptions helping to know what to expect. They also offer some light snacks to enjoy with your wine. I love the friendly atmosphere of the folks at Revel. Everyone introduced themselves and made me feel welcome. read more

This cozy wine bar is tucked just off 4th Ave on 9th. Thr atmoaphere is intimate and unpretenious. It is a narrow space with a bar with seating to the right and tables to the left. They sell wine by the glass or bottle and you can order a bottle to go and get $10 off! They have an extensive bottle list so you'll definitely find a wine you enjoy. Revel also has a limited selection of beers for those who prefer it. I had a malbec and a charcuterie board with meat & cheese. I wish I would have snapped a photo because the board had the cutest tiny grapes that were caper sized! Pro-Tip: Plenty of street parking can be had just around the corner on 10th. read more

There aren't a lot of places like this in Tucson - I'm so glad we have Revel. Lovely wine list, nice little bites, & staff who really know their stuff when it comes to vino. Always getting new labels & varietes in to try and they have a great wine club if you want a little more in-depth experience. I've participated in several events here and always really enjoy the laid back atmosphere and open/welcoming approach to wine education & wine enjoyment. This is a great date night spot or place to meet with friends. Cheers to a great wine bar! read more

Excellent service, great ambiance and the wines were outstanding. Will be back again soon

LOVED this place. In all fairness we did get a bit of VIP treatment but I would still love it regardless. We met up with a new Somm friend here and immediately met Todd. I love that there are no TVs in here. I felt like we walked into a sophisticated house party. We shared bottles of Domaine De La Côte "Bloom's Field" (UHMAZING), M. & C. Lapierre Morgon, and three other bottles I'm not seeing on the menu. We also shared some meat/cheese boards and olives. Service was friendly and attentive. I can't recommend enough. read more

Veteran downtown Tucsonians here. Revel hit the dang spot tonight. My wife had a Tepache, she wasn't feeling like drinking tonight. I grabbed a German Lager. The winner tonight, through, was this dang charcuterie board we built. Damn! The cheese selection was on point. The nuts, salami's, whew, it was so good. But, most of all, the board had sliced bread. Man it was so good!! Local bread, toasted and oiled, could not ask for a better finish to our evening. Thank you Revel! read more

Revel - BYO charcuterie - Wine Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

It was my first time going to this place and I had a great experience. Our host really took care of us and was able to pick out a fantastic elegant bottle of wine based on my unique palate. You can also make your own charcuterie board. They have a long bottle list, which is great but overwhelming but they will pick something wonderful if you explain what you like about wine. Revel really became one of my top wine bars in Tucson. read more

Every time I'm here I learn something new. About myself, wine, or the owner Todd. It's perfect for chatting with friends and relaxing, and they have an amazing variety of wines you can enjoy while sitting at the bar and listening to jazz bands play. Staff is crazy friendly, and Todd will make sure you know what you're drinking and why it's great. Overall, one of my favorite spots, and I'm kind of obsessed now (see the T-shirt I got that proves it). Come here for a first date, a drink before dinner, or a work happy hour. Or just come and hang out on your own. Really can't go wrong with picking Revel. read more

Revel - Grapefruit mimosa and Revel tee. Officially a fanatic! - Wine Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We stopped by recently and enjoyed our visit. We ordered a nice bottle of Brunello from Tenuta la Fuga; we liked it. Ordered the cheese and charcuterie combo... excellent selections, especially the Bresaola and the bleu, and then also the chocolate plate. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was nice. Revel is certainly the best wine bar in town, and it provides a great alternative to other types of restaurants. Definitely brought us back to the wine enotecas that we visited in Tuscany last month. It's a bit concerning that there were only two (or three?) other groups there while we visited... although maybe that's not a surprise for a Thursday evening? Hopefully business will pick up in the winter months. We'll certainly be back, and you should visit too! read more

I went to Revel this weekend because the bar was hosting a wine tasting/fundraiser for an LGBTQ scholarship fund. I was hoping it would be a good experience, of course, but I wasn't thinking too hard about it. I was going for a good cause and any Saturday I can spend learning about wine is a good Saturday. I think it was Todd the owner who hosted and ran our tasting, which was focused on sparkling wine. Todd was knowledgeable and picked four wines to lead us through. Each of the four was interesting in their own right and none of them were super sweet (always a turn off for me). Todd was also a generous host: we didn't feel rushed through the experience. Smart man, as we all hung around afterwards and bought extra glasses/bottles of wine. The venue is beautiful and not too big, with walls of warm red brick (other reviewers have mentioned the word cozy, which is an apt descriptor). The service was excellent. Complementary cheese/bread was offered as part of the tasting. They also have small plates on their menu, but I didn't check those out this time around. The prices were surprisingly reasonable, including a $10 discount on any bottle you want to take to go. During the tasting someone mentioned being a member of Revel's wine club, and how it gets you priority invitations to other tasting events (Todd mentioned something called Sunday School, which sounds like a periodic tasting/education event). I had such a good time I decided to check it out. I normally don't opt in to wine clubs: my husband doesn't drink and I don't like to have too many extra bottles sitting around the house. I was delighted to find out Revel's wine club options were priced at either $30 or $45/month, and that gets you two bottles/month (one red, one white), as well as 10% off any other bottles you decide to buy. It is officially the first wine club I have ever joined. Check out Revel: nice folks, good wine, lovely place to sit. Can't go wrong. read more

Love this wine bar. Ambiance is perfect! Super cool location. Convenient to downtown or fourth avenue. They have the most delicious duck confit deviled eggs- a must try. They have delicious boards and their burrata is out of this world. Told does a great job with the wine offerings. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

We stopped in for a glass of wine and snacks after a day of walking around and Revel was the perfect spot. Cute little bar with a gorgeous mural, stools, tables, or bench seating. Brief but well-curated wine list - we each got something different, and everyone was happy. Snacks were simple, but build-your-own style charcuterie, so again, everyone got what they wanted. And the server was friendly - even had some great local recommendations for us! read more

Fantastic hidden gem just off 4th Ave. I noticed Revel had opened some time ago but was never really a wine guy, so I figured why go? However, the Mrs. likes wine and has me trying new wine from time to time. Last night we had a date night and I thought "Shoot, let's try somewhere new and fancy" and we found ourselves at Revel. It's a super hipster place with a great atmosphere and vibe, plus the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The wine selection was extensive and had options I'd never heard of and, while the beer options were limited, I enjoyed my Belgian. read more

Yes, yes, and YES! My lady and I have been searching for a great wine bar here in Tucson and WE FINALLY FOUND IT! The selection of old world style wines is impeccable. I would argue one of the best lists in the city. We are still dancing around the house today from the delicious Barbera and sparkling rosè that closed a lovely night out last night. Love, love, love Revel. Basically... IF YOU WANT TO DRINK GREAT WINE, GO TO REVEL read more

The perfect place to chill and feel like you are a local.... with amazing wine! In this day and age, it's all about the feel and connection.... combine that with a product that is out of this world and you have the most winning combination.

Revel - a plate of cheese, grapes, and a bottle of wine - Wine Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Were very lucky to have attended Revels 2nd Anniversary affair. It was a five course wine and food pairing. The first course was crustini with anchovies and pico. Fabulous. The next course was beet and goat cheese salad. OK the beets were, I gave them to Velvet but the salad was great. Next was chicken with rice pilaf. Awesome! Then Lamb wow perfect med rare. Last course was a torte with pear and cheese. Also over the top superb! Tod hit it out of the park. Service was excellent especially Sarah. read more

One of the shining wine spots in Tucson. An extensive and ever changing list of bottles & wines by the glass. Reds, whites, blends, sparkling as well as great draft beers from around the world. You can enjoy a cheese plate, cured meats or both that pair nicely with your chosen vintage. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about finding exactly what whets your palate and they "revel" (haha) in the joy of their patrons tasting new wines! A must for true oenophiles!! read more

Visited this place last night, because we were in the mood to go out-have a glass of wine and relax! We did a flight of wine, got to try 3 for $12 which was nice. The atmosphere is nice, could be improved upon quite a bit with just more comfortable seating arrangements! Too many bar stools, and the long booth against the wall is very uncomfortable to sit for any length of time, I'd also suggest putting a couch or build a small intimate comfy seating section in both of the window areas! I'd love to sit on a comfy sofa drink wine and watch people walk by the window. The ambiance was nice, nicely lit, soft music playing, and decorated well with art work, and beautiful wood floors. Also the restroom was very clean! The service was great, Eric was very helpful and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed his conversation! And the duck confit deviled eggs were simply delicious! We will definitely return to this wine bar over and over again, and look forward to it! Great job Revel! read more

We came here on a whim, just to see what Tucson was like! It was such a good experience. All of the staff were friendly, and gave us multiple suggestions on other places we should check out in the area during our trip. They had a really great selection of wine, so much so that I couldn't decide for myself. I asked to get a flight of the best red wine, and I got everything I could have asked for. I wish I could live in Tucson just to come back here! read more
