    Darrin was our bartender at the Revival tonight. He did the art of mixology which is a complementary hands-on- cocktail making experience. 21+ and older and was great! Thank you! Enjoy your experience in Sacramento! Xo

    A glass of ice What they call a drink this is before I even took one sip out of the drink

    Went to Revival hoping for a solid craft cocktail, big mistake. Sat at the bar and ordered a Crystal Plumed Bird and Shishito Peppers off their Golden Hour menu. I stay at the hotel pretty often, but because of the poor reviews and a menu that never looks that appealing, I usually stay away. Decided to give it a shot, big mistake! When my drink came out, it looked like a snow cone a glass completely packed with ice and maybe one ounce of liquor. Two sips, gone. I asked the bartender if they do smaller pours for happy hour, and she just shrugged and said, "No, that's the way it is," with zero effort or attitude that said she cared. Meanwhile, the bartenders one of them name started with T were too busy gossiping about customers from the night before instead of actually paying attention to the people sitting in front of them. Super unprofessional. And to top it all off, the Golden Hour drink that should've been $12 was charged at the full $16. Between the smallest drink I've ever been served, bad service, and being overcharged this place has completely gone downhill. Won't be coming back.

    Revival is one of few rooftop bars in Sacramento, and it's a fun spot to enjoy a casual happy hour! I recently stopped by for Sunset Sips and had a reservation, although I don't think it's needed during the slower summer season. Our server was very pleasant, and when I asked about the Sunset Sips series, she was able to give me the run down. I wish that Revival carried a print menu since that would've helped with the promotion. I ended up ordering the "Penthouse and Prosper", which is Revival's take on a "Millionaire Margarita." It was so good, well balanced, and only $9! Besides the Sunset Sips series, Revival also has a "Golden Hour" menu, which we ordered a couple more drinks and food off of. I'd recommend passing on the food, but think the drink deals are a steal considering standard prices. Overall, fun spot to enjoy a well crafted cocktail and unbeatable views of DOCO!

    Total vibe! Drinks were amazing! DJ was playing some throwbacks and the whole place was a vibe! Minus 1 star because our server was swamped not her fault she was great but they really need more help on a busy Saturday night.

    We were excited to head to Revival to celebrate a birthday tonight. We made a reservation online for 4pm for an outdoor spot. We arrived right as they opened at 4pm and were the first guests in. They informed us there was no outdoor seating until 7pm, which was one of my main reasons we chose this spot. We were seated inside which was still beautiful and comfortable. We ordered within the first five minutes, still the only people to have ordered and our drinks took 32 minutes to come out. The manager noticed, and told us they were on their way. But a little too late. We ordered three cocktails and a glass of wine, they were out of the first two wines I requested. After the long delay they did give a generous wine pour. Two of the three cocktails were really good, the third was very bad and was almost untouched. We saw our server twice - to take our order and give us the bill. Someone else delivered our drinks. All in all bad service. The manager tried, but didn't make enough of an effort to make up for the experience. We visit the Kimpton where we live often and were excited to try this but it was a huge miss. Very disappointing.

    This is my second time coming to Revival, but first time trying their food and drinks. Revival is located inside the Sawyer Hotel which is across from Golden 1. The views are so nice, being a rooftop bar, but also having an indoor area. I ordered the flourless chocolate cake as well as the White Velvet drink. The White Velet had coding blanco, coconut, lime juice, pomegranate, and cointreau. I was not the biggest fan of the taste of the drink, although I always appreciate drinks with pebble ice. The chocolate cake was okay, however, the service was very slow, and for the price, I expected the slice to be a little bigger. I would recommend Revival just for the great views.

    This the drink I wanted lol

    I seen revival on TikTok & did a quick yelp & decided to come for these nice drinks I saw on yelp. Me & my friend came and waited patiently for our turn at the bar, and I kid you not I've been to MANY bars & it was even as BUSY & our bartender was so RUDE. I never am to give someone a hard time but I was reading the menu & showed him a picture of the drink I saw (that I will attach) & asked him by chance I seen this drink on yelp would you by chance be able to make this one? & he says NOPE I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS with such a attitude, I'm like ?? Hmm okay would you be able to make me something pretty like this?? IDK maybe a cute margarita and he's so passive aggressively rude I wasn't gonna start we just ended up ordering whatever and took our drink and went to the fire bc I wasn't going to let him ruin our night. But my gosh ... anyways the pool & the heater with the view deserves 5 stars .

    "I am a Latino American, and I visited the restaurant with my younger cousin. The waitress requested that a card be kept on file. I informed her that we would be paying in cash and offered to still provide a card if needed. The waitress then proceeded to request that she retain my cousin's personal California driver's license. I have dined here many times and have never experienced this type of issue. When I inquired with the manager, Tony, he stated that it was a form of 'collateral.' I then asked another staff member, Pete, whether this was a normal procedure, and he stated that he was 'not aware of such a protocol.' Following this interaction, the manager's demeanor became hostile. Due to the situation, I requested that our order be canceled and returned. Despite this request, the manager insisted that we still pay for the burger even though we had already asked to cancel the order. This experience was concerning and unprofessional. I will also be filing a report with the Better Business Bureau (BBB)."

    I've been to the Revival for lunch and dinner (happy hours, birthdays, etc) and have always had an amazing time. This time we stopped in for happy hour before going to dinner and it was perfect. We ordered a few appetizers and cocktails. What a perfect evening and pleasant atmosphere always.

    Ms. Krystall M.

    The girls and I came here for the roof top bar and had a blast. I had the wedge salad with chicken, lobster roll and a glass of prosecco. We also had a plate of fries that were not a full plate. The manager addressed the fries which made it better. Great atmosphere and nice staff we'll come back soon.

    We got here right at 4 pm when they open and they were immediately getting busy. It's a great chill place to grab drinks and have a snack or two. It's within Kimpton hotel so you can park in the DOCO parking garage which is very convenient. It did take some time for our drinks to come out but the staff were nice. I do love the ambience inside, modern but laid back. Would come back for happy hour!

    Where do i even start. Revival has a delicious menu and offer weekly specials such as my favorites, Taco tuesday or all the weekend vibes with a live DJ! If you thought that was the best part, wait until you see the Sacramento Kings light the beam from Revival's rooftop bar! Revival just has it all from Amazing service, Delicous food and allllll the vibes!

    Are guests allowed to bring cake for birthday celebration?

    I Cant get in contact with anybody about a reservation I've tried the vip host email and cell . It's been a few days since my request?

    please call main Revival line (916) 545-7111

    Is there a dress code?

    Yes, after 6pm.

    How much is the cover charge for Saturdays?

    It was $20 on the Friday I was there. I would assume the same for Saturdays.

    Is the club open every Friday and Saturdays?

    Yes, it is

    Is the outside pool area construction almost complete, if not what's the estimated completion time?

    Looks done to me! Lots of people sitting poolside and pool up and running.

    What type of music do they play?

    Usually EDM or house from what they told me. Had to ask them to play other genres but they were reluctant. So times depending in the DJ they may have a special night

    A fiend of mine is having her 30th birthday celebration there tomorrow Wednesday 9/12 at 6 pm. Can I have some balloons delivered there and before her reservation time?

    Hello! You may have balloons displayed at Revival for your friend's birthday. However, they will need to be gold, silver or white traditional smaller balloons to fit our decor and design. We can't wait for you to celebrate with us tomorrow!

    Is there a coat check available?

    Hi Ashley, We provide coat check at no cost for our guests.…

    Hello Adrina! We do encourage larger parties to reserve a table for bottle service. You may reach… 

    Do you card at the door during the weekdays?

    Yes, we do.

    Is there a dance floor?

    There is not a designated dance floor per say but when it isn't too busy I've seen people gather near the entrance area by the DJ and dance (I've personally done it too). Otherwise people just dance wherever they stand/sit.

    Is there any age limit?

    There is no age limit. It's pretty family oriented.

    Can you swim in the pool if you buy drinks at the bar?

    Hi Kaitlyn, You do have the opportunity to swim on Wednesday evenings and will need to pay the cover to swim. We also host monthly pool parties where swimming is encouraged. Our next pool party will be June 29th for the Love Boat Vintage Pool Party.…

    Fantastic Spot To "Pregame" Shows @ Goldfields Next Door…read more SITREP We descended upon the Tack Room an hour before our show for "Ally The Piper" (both the classical AND heavy metal bagpiper extraordinaire) began her show! THE SETUP Goldfields is a charming, rustic country-western stylized saloon that serves up beer at good prices. But we weren't interested in beer and wanted quality cocktails. Hence, our pivot next door to the Tack Room! QUALITY COCKTAILS & DRINKS! The Tack Room specializes an amazing array of martinis, bourbons, and other deLISH cocktail drinks at really really reasonable prices! So this was an excellent choice to chill, thus avoiding the tremendous *noise pollution* we were immediately subjected to upon entering Goldfields an hour later for our show. THE LOWDOWN This is a quality bar with plenty of comfortable seating to relax and have quiet, intimate conversations. So if you and your later friend(s) want some privacy, cocktails at a reasonable price, etc., this is a good way to go.

It's themed around horse racing, but not in an overbearing or... tacky way. The mixologist was delightful and had great recommendations, the lights were dim, and the drinks were all on point. The highlight was the espresso martini, which is among the best I've had. It was reminiscent of the one I had at the Starbucks Roastery in NYC, which is high praise. The other coffee drink that surprised me was the Revolver. I always forget about what a good pairing orange and coffee is, and I'll be taking this one back home with me to try! Every other drink we tried was delicious in some unique way. The Pho drink was savory and surprising, the New York Sour was rich and flavorful, and the Practical Move was refreshing. Will definitely return here after dinner to sip an espresso martini for dessert!

The space is small and intimate with serious speakeasy vibes that remind me of some of the cocktail bars in San Francisco. The drink presentations are gorgeous, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into both the flavor and how everything looks when it arrives at the table. They have a great selection of gin, rum, champagne, and whiskey, and I often lean on the staff for drink suggestions because they're really good at recommending something you might not normally order. A few times now they've pointed me toward a drink that ended up being a hidden gem. I've been here a few times and it's always a great time whether you're catching up with friends or doing a date night. The food is also surprisingly good and pairs well with the cocktails. It is definitely on the pricier side, but that's part of the experience. Also, because the space is small and intimate, reservations fill up quickly and they do require a deposit, which goes toward your final bill. Helpful tip: make a reservation ahead of time and don't be afraid to ask the staff for drink recommendations -- they're excellent at guiding you to something special. Final verdict: absolutely worth it.

I came here for happy hour and ordered a handful of their items. Chicken Lumpia - over all I was pleased with how piping hot, fresh out the fryer it was. A bit thin for my linking but I appreciated there were 6 pieces. The sauce did not pair well. There was something off about it that isn't your typical sweet and sour; maybe the sauce was made in house. Sisig fries - decent portion of fries but fell short on the pork. Lacked an egg and didn't really meet the sisig flavors that I'm used to. You can definitely taste the zestiness of the lemon - nice touch, but other than that it's just fries with pork, red onion and green onion garnish. Hot dog - a $9 happy hour hot dog was the biggest disappointment. Sure the bread texture was good, toasted with a nice chew, but that was it. The dog itself was charged to my linking but it really didn't feel worth the money spent for its portion. Fries - 100% would get again. Cauliflower bites - I liked this too, flavor was good but such a small portion our table has to order two. Similar to the hotdog, not sure if it's worth the spend for the portion size. Despite the food not satisfying my cravings, the service was great. The young lady was helpful and was working hard taking orders, making drinks and delivering the food. The place was pretty busy at least the indoor area. Plenty of seating outside, but in this heat not sure if it's a good idea. Didn't see any misters but would be a nice touch to draw in more folks. Side note: some of the cocktails are premade, and can be overly sweet.
