Came for happy hour and a free mixology class and returned for a nightcap the next day. Phenomenal service across the board. Beautifully decorated, as Kimpton is famous for. Eclectic, hip, vibrant and exudes fun. Small but delicious menu. Off of the rooftop pool, separate elevator in Lobby allows non guests entry; love that security feature. Shoutout to Pedito (sp?) - so attentive, knowledgeable, fabulous at communication and multitasking. read more

We came into Revival at the Sawyer Hotel around 8:30 PM and the place wasn't very busy. We were seated right away and but wasn't given a warm welcoming, which was a meh start to our visit. The space itself is really nice. The theme, decor, and overall vibe are great, especially for a first visit. After sitting down, we waited about 15 to 20 minutes without any service. We were hoping to grab a couple drinks and some snacks before calling it a night. Since it was our first time there, we were excited to check it out. Our server finally came by around 8:50 and asked for our drink order. When we tried to order food, she told us the kitchen was already closed. That was really confusing, especially when she also said they close at 10. Being told we could not order food before 9 PM was disappointing. I understand people want to go home, but it felt frustrating that there was no flexibility at all. Instead, we were offered beer chips, which were fine, but not the food we were looking for. The drinks and chips were okay, but around 9:05 they came around and started taking all the table lamps off the tables. That really threw me off. It instantly got darker and no explanation was given. They just took the lamp and moved on. Again, this place closes at 10, so it felt very rushed and uncomfortable. Our server was nice, but she barely checked on us. She seemed to be the only one serving about five tables, which should be manageable, unless she was also covering the bar. Either way, the service felt lacking. Overall, while the ambience and decor are great, the service and timing left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, my first impression of Revival was less than satisfying. read more

Worst service in Sacramento. I reserved a table for 4 hoping that this would reduce our wait time but I was wrong. We got sat by the girl at the door who said "your server will be right with you". After about 20 minutes of waiting my husband and I decided to talk to the bar behind where we were sitting to grab drinks for our table. While waiting at the bar I asked a server if we had to wait at the bar even if we were sat at a table, they responded "no we will send someone to you, go take a seat", we went and sat back down to wait. After another 15 minutes of waiting and watching employees pass by we realized we were not going to be served. Other groups began to arrive and were being served and waited on all while we watched. I waved another employee down and said "hey we haven't had our order taken at all" she said "oh let me send someone" and welp that someone never came. My first time experience here was horrible and I will never return. Did not get a chance to even try a drink or order food. The best part about this experience was the valet service who was very attentive. If you want to wait 30+ minutes to be served or not be served here, don't come. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Revival - A glass of ice What they call a drink this is before I even took one sip out of the drink - New American Near Me - Sacramento, California

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! read more

Revival - Penthouse and Prosper (Sunset Sips 2025 menu) - New American Near Me - Sacramento, California

"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)." read more

Revival is located on the third floor of the Kimpton Sawyer hotel with bar service, food, fire pits and outdoor access to the pool deck. This was my third time here and while it was slow around 9 pm my daughter and I grabbed a drink and chilled. The service was exceptional and my old fashioned was good. They have a decent happy hour through the week and there are always specials. If you are staying in the hotel check it out at least once. Bottoms up! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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! read more

My girlfriend was visiting from AZ and staying at the Kimpton Sawyer hotel. I wasn't able to eat at this place cause when I made reservations, it didn't say anything about a private party. The host also never mentioned about a (semi) private party so when they seated us outside, it was as if we were going to go night swimming. It was dark, like really dark, and they expected us to eat at a "table" meant for drinks that was almost down to our shins? Are you kidding me? How the heck can anyone eat a salad or an entree when you practically have to do a vinyasa just to take a bite of your food. I asked to be seated inside but said that the tables were reserved all night but hardly anyone at the party was sitting at the tables--they were all hovered at the bar. Worst of all, I wasted $15 for parking and should've gotten comped. Do better! read more

This place is a joke. Upon arrival to the Kimpton no one greeted us or even bothered to open the door. So much for a luxury hotel. Came to Revival after work on a Wednesday to meet some friends. Instead of being greeted I was asked for Identification. ( my Girlfriends I was meeting did not have to show ID). Upon opening my purse I realized I didn't have my Drivers License. I told the Bartender I have a digital copy and asked if she would accept this. She said she was ok with it but would need to ask her manager. The Manager couldn't even give me the decency of a conversation, she just said no and looked down I told the bartender I didn't know I needed Identification to Dine here on a Wednesday afternoon. So I left. I totally understand it's on me for not having my ID, however, the rudeness from the waitress was unreal. The place down the street happily took the digital copy of my identification - so I don't get the issue to eat at a restaurant. I won't be back here or ever to stay at the Kimpton. Downtown Sacramento is dying and this is exactly why. Lack of customer service. read more

Revival - Vegetarian Wellington Short Rib Lollipop - New American Near Me - Sacramento, California

What a fun spot! I came here to grab a drink with a friend and it was both our our first times. It's pretty easy to get to. There is an elevator in the Sawyer lobby right at the entrance, and you take it to the thirst floor to get to Revival. Upon arrival we were greeted by a hostess. We had a reservation so we had no waiting period. We were seated at a booth, and helped within five minutes. The cocktails are pretty pricey ($18 each for the Pink Panthers). although, they are super tasty! We loved the Pink Panthers. It does have egg in it which I thought was interesting. The ambience is truly unmatched. There is a beautiful view of DOCO, and huge pool, vibey lighting, good music, and beautiful decor. It's an indoor-outdoor set-up, so the patio was partially covered and partially not. I love it. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

Good: Drinks and ambience were really good. We were able to get in and seated without an issue. Bad: When we ordered, they took and held onto a credit card to start a tab (no issue there, it common). BUT, before they even delivered the drinks, they already charged my credit card for our drinks. I've never had that happen at a bar before. Second BAD thing, when we were given the bill, they automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill. I usually tip 20% anyway but we were never advised of the automatic 20% and the bill never listed "Gratuity" as a line item. The bill just had a line item for "subtotal" and "table total". The way the present the bill and credit card receipt, I'm sure a lot of people tip another 18-20% not knowing, especially if they have been drinking. Super shady business practice. Like I said, I have no issue tipping 20% or a 20% being automatically added to a bill, but a business and employees need to make that very clear. I've been here a bunch of times and probably duped by them before. I probably won't be coming back, read more

Not much to say about the place. There was a dozen of us. Gave us a hard time to get in. And when we get in, we're we're brought to the outdoor table/cabana. We're chose three different alcohols we were planning to order. But then we get told there is no bottle service. NO BOTTLE SERVICE!! The place is nicely decorated and the rooftop was somewhat aesthetically pleasing. That's bout it. read more

Hip bar upstairs at the Sawyer Hotel across from Golden One Arena is a perfect spot to grab a drink before the game. You take the elevator up to the third floor from the hotel lobby. There is an expansive pool deck with lounge chairs and fire pits overlooking DoCo Plaza and the Arena. They serve plastic cups so you can take your drinks outside. Bar and outdoor seating is open, table seating inside is hosted. We ate half dozen oysters and drank a few adult beverages. Sonya assisted us at the bar and was very helpful. On game nights they have a few specialty purple cocktails made with lavender syrup - go Kings! read more

Revival is the kind of place that I'd say be cautious about, in the sense of be very clear on what you expect. We had reservations here plus paying extra for an outdoor cabana. We arrived on time and were led....outside to a dark cabana with no activity. No good lighting (some dim ambient was kinda present), no music whether live or DJ'd or pumped in, not much space for a pre-reserved group of 6, or anything except someone wanting to take our order. Pay extra for this?!? Nope. Thankfully when we calmly and respectfully made it known this wouldn't work especially for additional cost, we were relocated inside. Dim ambiance but a nice enough decor. The drinks were a little better than OK, nothing memorable. Our server seemed a bit nervous but overall she was very nice and I wish I remembered her name. It wasn't more than a few minutes after the bar closed though that some tired looking man came over to moderately enforce to us (who still had a couple sips or so left) that they were closed and we needed to go. Strangely he walked right past another table of 4, about 20' away, who were showing no signs of leaving. Hmmm... OK experience completed. I strongly doubt we'll come back here. read more

I really enjoyed our last minute visit to Revival! I stopped in for drinks and dessert with my partner around 7:30pm on a Thursday. It was not crowded at all and we had no reservations but we didn't even have to wait!! Each week night has different featured deals...our visit was showcasing "Tiki Thursday"! It was a vibe. Great music (mainly Spanish raggaeton but I ain't even mad!) great drinks, and great cheesecake! Our server was super friendly and nice. She was consistently checking in to make sure that we were satisfied. I wish I remembered her name! I loved walking around the pool deck! Keep in mind, the pool is strictly reserved for guests 7:00am-7:00pm. There's hotel valet parking and revival does do validation for a $15 deal. The valet staff was a group of sweet young workers. Overall, it's a great date night spot and a cool summertime vibe. I'm definitely going to be returning. read more
