Men and women working here are incredibly accommodating and personable. Tables are good quality. House cues are house cues but whatever.. I played fine with them. I didn't have a chance to try the food but beer selection was excellent and inexpensive! I would 100% come back to this spot if I were in the area. Oh and ambiance, everyone was very friendly and place is upscale. Lots of room between tables and darts seemed to be the same. I played for 3-4 hours and drank tons of beer - my tab was close to $50 so you cannot beat that anywhere. Great job folks!! read more

This is a nice place to find high quality 9ft pool tables. Friends and I have been there few times to play pool on the weekends. They have about 15 tables. Very spacious space. They have good deals throughout the day. I think if you order food worth $15 or more, you get discounted rates for pool. Very well maintained pool tables. Bar service is good as well. They continue to check on us every 20 to 30 minutes. It's easy to order this way as we don't have to leave the table to order food or drinks. read more

Visited for Thursday night drinks with friends recently. Everything was good except at the end of the night one bartender took my card to pay for a drink and didn't make me select a tip, and rather, just selected his tip on his own on the card machine. This was not the norm leading up to this so I didn't like this action taken by the bartender. Next time, I'll ask specifically to see the amount I'm tipping to avoid this. read more

This place is a go to place to have fun with good music and good vibe. The staff feels very familiar and they are very nice, cool place to go with friends and meet new people there, I recommend their wings, which were recommended to me and they didn't disappoint at all... and the music the DJ was blasting on Saturday night was a roller coaster ride of Banger from classics to new music. Really great! read more

Didn't even realize this rebranded from Fast Eddie's. Went for darts - very reasonable cost for an activity. For those who care, the darts here are much lighter in weight than usual. The pool tables all looked very new or refurbished. Decent selection of beers, and there's happy hour on weekdays. Did not try the food. Our server Neil was the highlight. Came by at just the right times for more drinks and knew how to have fun. On our way out, there was a man at the bar smoking, indoors. Wish the establishment was better about policing that. read more

Never been to an establishment that makes you feel like it's a burden to provide basic service. Waited 15 mins at the bar on the side for attention. The 3 bartenders were carrying on with eachother instead of helping customers. Then after going to the center where they were and asking for a menu, one would think that they would come and take the order. However, they kept on flirting and carrying on amongst themselves and after 26 mins. We walked out. None of the staff really care to help or serve the customers! Still dunno why this place still hiring them for work there. read more

I feel like four star is the correct maximum number of stars for a place like Revolution. It used to be a dive bar ... ok fine, it's still a dive bar ... we won't speak the name here ... and it's maintained and even perhaps increased, uh, "quality," if that's even a word we can apply to such a place, since then. I go here regularly. Typically once a quarter, though I'll admit I paused during the dark times. So let's talk about what works: The pool and the darts. They work. Sure, the cues might be a little bent here and there, but for the most part they're straight, there's plenty of chalk, the tables are leveled. The basics are good. The darts are even better. None of that cork dartboard crap. Nope, packed hair. What kind of hair? Not clear, but in any case not mine. Aaaaand, the quality ends there. If you're actually *into* playing darts, bring your own. The plastic, bent, crap they have available is almost entirely unusable. That's not to say I'm some expert dart player, but I do aim and I like the darts to follow the path I throw, even when I throw poorly. Very confused about positive reviews about service. When playing, it seems hard to get a server's attention. When I do, things work out fine - and things get better when the loaded tots get there ... but it's the attention I think is fundamentally lacking. But whatever. I'll go back. Again and again. Because where else would I go for that pool hall vibe?! read more

I had a great time and experience at the Revolutions. Troy is the man. It's always a cool time when I'm there and I know he's working.

Troy is the greatest bartender ever if you ever come here you have to ask for him. He makes amazing drinks. Best bartender ever.

My friends and I frequent this spot a lot. Great atmosphere and music! My favorite bartender is Troy! He's really helpful and funny. Also if you're hungry they have really good fries. I would rate it a 5000/5 if I could. read more

Great staff, great vibes, and most of the menu is pretty fantastic compared to other dive bars. At the end of the day it is a college/dive bar. read more

Horrid waitress. Made me the absolute worst amaretto sours I've ever had in my life and then argued and laughed in my face when I told her I was not satisfied. Asked for a manager and she stood there playing with pool balls and smirking. I will also be calling the general manager and leaving reviews other places. I'm quick to leave a good review and reticent to leave negative ones - not in this case. Fire this dumb bimbo and get a real bartender. read more

Everyone is always so kind & they always take care of my friends and I! Really fast service too

Not a great place if there's a game you want to watch. Bartender not interested in changing the channel, even though there were few people and no one watching most of the TVs. Tots were hot. read more

The service is EVERYTHING. Saad is Amazing!! My server Cody was just as complimentary to that, as well. The mozzarella sticks are the best I've had since pepperoni stick back in the day!! I'm making this my new happy place! I highly suggest this gem of a place. Oh and THE BEST music played is here!! read more

I don't play pool, I rarely play darts but I have a soft spot for this place. I enjoy drinking cheap beers, playing Golden Tee and sidling up to the bar for NTN trivia. The Fast Eddies sign still remains but it is now called Revolution. Its the same spot. Its dark, its dingy, there is a terrible smell coming from different parts of the bar and that's a different smell from the years of being a smoker's den. This is a dive bar. Expect a dive bar atmosphere and a dive bar crowd. Now double that. I asked the bartender what the happy hour specials were and he said, "Draft Beer and Bottle Beer"...then there was an awkward silence as I waited for him to tell me the specials...then just ordered a bud light because I knew it would be under $3. They have theme nights, nightly specials, happy hour til 9, stuff all bars should have but don't anymore. While things have changed everywhere, this place is mostly the way bars were 15-20 years ago. Maybe its that nostalgia of that smoke, bud light and bar games that keeps me coming here. If you like pool, darts, pinball, golden tee, naked photo hunt, trivia and beer you can have a good time here. read more

Revolution - Drink specials weren't listed and the bartender didn't know them, but here are some daily food specials. - Sports Bars Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Prick bar back decided instead of coming up to me reasonably about using chaulk, you know, the stuff a lot of pool halls put out for customer use, that he needed to treat me like I shit on the table. Fuck this place, will never go back! read more

Revolution replaced Fast Eddies and so much better! It's in the same place, located next to a bowling alley. That means there's always plenty of parking. Once inside you see two huge spaces, front and back. Both are well lit, airy, and clean. This is helped along by Revolution's no smoking policy. While I was there I had a pint of Guinness (for $6) and their Revolution Fries "appetizer" for $10. However, it wasn't so much an appetizer as a meal. It came on a large plate heaped with healthy* portions of seasoned potato wedges, well-cooked flavorful shredded pork, and melted cheese (like substance). That was topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of green onion (no doubt for roughage which is very important). It was filling and delicious. *By "healthy" I mean generous as opposed to anything that would make your doctor happy. There are plenty of places that offer great food and beverages at reasonable prices. What sets Revolution apart are its recreation options. There are video games, well-maintained pool tables, and for me the most important thing, dart boards. But not your normal supply of dart boards. There were lots of dart boards. Bristle boards covered three walls. I stopped counting them at 18. There might have been hundreds or more or 18 and that's why I stopped counting. They were all well lit, widely spaced, and not crowded by tables. If you are looking for a fun place to go then this is it. If you are looking to go to a dart bar then this is the dart bar to go to. read more

I came here for a plant nite event, my boyfriend and I decided to eat dinner beforehand. It took a while to figure out who worked here, the majority of the employees were in the back bar by the pool tables, which made sense to a degree because that side of the bar got very busy very quickly. It took a while to get our order in, I'm not sure if the server forgot about us or what. I had to go look for and tell him we were ready to order. After that it wasn't so bad. I got honey bbq boneless wings and they were ok, the sauce tasted like they added some hot sauce to it which I didn't like. Honey bbq should be sweet, not hot unless specified. The upside about the front half not being busy is there was plenty of space for the plant nite event, which was great. I honestly don't think I'll come back here, I'm not a pool or darts player and the food was a little disappointing. read more

I come here way too often! I really enjoy this spot as there is always plenty of parking, and pool tables. I play pool here at least once a week, if not more. I love it here and the environment and bartenders are amazing. The staff is always extremely attentive and I appreciate how they always let the patrons know when last call for food & drinks is. It's pretty inexpensive here and I like the pool tables and the layout of the place. Spacious and they even have a smoking area in the back ! I would recommend this place to anyone ! Only note, the face of this place is called 'Fast Eddie's' so when you're driving, enter in Fast Eddie's. Revolution and Fast Eddie's are the same place ! read more

The staff is friendly, so the three stars has nothing to do with the overall service. Basically, this is a dart bar and pool hall. I go here to throw darts and it serves that purpose, but this place could be so much more. Another review mentioned the karaoke and I agree, this just isn't the venue for it. People sing at the top of their lungs, and no one is interested because simply, they're engrossed in a game of pool or darts. I understand if the owners maintain the dive bar atmosphere to keep costs down, but they could make a lot more money with a few changes. Beer selection is the first. It's ok to keep what you have, but please add more craft selections or change a few current ones. Sweetwater IPA and Goose Island are the Milwaukee's Best of the IPA world, and most beer lovers do not enjoy them. The food that I've had here has been fine and I can't remember having a bad experience. So, that's it-- beer selection is key these days. Get some ballast point, Elysian space dust or some other crafts and just charge appropriately for them. read more

Revolution (used to be fast eddies) is one of those sports bars you can always count on...be it snow storms or a sunny summer day..they are typically open and happy to tend to customers late into the night (or early morn). The location is central and easily reached from Route 50. The facility itself is huge and can accommodate hundreds, so consider this a great location for any size-group or event. The decor is full of dim lighting, nostalgic carpet and dark wood furniture. It has nice clean and well maintained darts and billiards that are rented for very reasonable prices. There is a TV in every direction, and they get most (even many obscure) channels so you can go there for just about any game or event you'd like to view live. They do open mics and occasionally have live music, but mostly the hall speakers blare top 100 and classic american ballads; they have a pretty sweet modern computer juke box system that customers can take advantage of also. The feel is local, with lots of townie-folk type patrons. That being said, it's not a hole in the wall in any way and maintains a swanky classic american pool hall ambiance. The service can be hit or miss, with certain staff and certain days/times they are definitely "b-team" trained, and lack certain common sense customer service. The bar tenders that work the main nights are awesome, well trained, and attentive. Don't ask for crazy drinks unless you can show them the recipe...while their bar is fully stocked with a variety of spirits, it's still a sports bar and they do beer from the tap best. Speaking of their tap selections, its pretty good with your standard domestics and some seasonal "fancier" options. Prices are great and you can have a night full of libations for less than $30 a person, or under $100 if you're buying a few rounds of beer/shots and such for a group of 4. The food is great, but don't expect healthy eats...this is a billiards bar after all...but do expect elevated greasy bar noms that will leave you full and satisfied and craving another cold beer. I highly recommend the fish n chips, revolution fries, and nachos. Burgers are done right too. read more

Had a friend that worked at revolutions, she called me while on her break ( she'd go to her car for breaks and we usually chat) and I could hear a guy in the background cursing at her, she explained he was intoxicated and wasn't cut off and allowed to continue drinking and was following her harassing her and her manager didn't kick him out, so I stayed on phone with her until she went back inside. That place is sketchy, last time I frequented there I saw a girl who worked there being groped and the guy who did it continued playing rounds of pool. Wouldn't go there without protection if you are a female. Seems like men who are intoxicated are allowed to stay. read more

Someone was shoving and harassing me here. When I asked them to stop a bartender told ME to go to the other room.

Do not come here!!! Read on. (If you want to play pool) Management likes to lose money. They will not rent tables to the public. They allow all of the league players to run the pool hall and use all of the tables, regardless of the number of teams or leagues playing. I've been on two occasions (Tuesday evening and Wednesday evening). The first occasion I called in advance to ask if I could rent a table. They said I could, however, they wouldn't rent one to me! I waited 2.5 hours to get a table and was unable to do so because of the league, despite their 18 tables. On this evening they said that two tables would be rented to the public and if I came in I could get a table. The second night I came in at 730 and asked to rent a table. They expressed to me that all of the tables were being used for league. I waited until 8:45 and no tables were available despite it being less busy than the previous night. At 8:50, I was told I could use table 8. I walked over to the table and racked the balls after getting my cue out. A league member preceded to yell and swear at me that I couldn't use the tsbke. Management preceded to tell me I couldn't play on the tabkt after telling me that I could. Do not come here. Or any establishment owned by this entity. They do not value their customers and promote rude customers and want to lose money to the public. PS - if you look at the photo, they have empty parking spots right in front of the building on Wednesday, yet still can't get a table. read more

First time here and i love it! The staff is so amazing and accommodating. Walking around asking for orders, delivering food to tables, etc. pretty good beers on tap too! Lots of tables plus dart boards to play on while you wait. Only reason for the 4star instead of 5 would be the dusty light fixtures lol Will come back a lot read more

Good food, cheap beer, friendly service. I went here on a weeknight with some friends. We had revolution fries and nachos and beer. They've got a very good selection of beers on tap. And OMG the revolution fries are so good! They're like loaded potato skins but super crispy and flavorful. I'd come back just for those. The nachos are also above-average, with real cheese and house-made chips. Way way better than just about any other bar food I've had. read more

Once again I have to weigh in. more often than not the service is terrible. but its a dive bar so expectations are pretty low... but even this place sets new standards for bad, slow and non customer focused. . . I hope when the lease is up a more responsible establishment arrives to help lift the space to its full potential! . I would even challenge Artie's owner 'great american restaurants' to open a dive bar with class to their portfolio!!! Anyway. I continue to wait for service an pondered what the future could bring read more

Now called Revolution Darts and Billiards, but the sign on the building hasn't changed yet from Fast Eddies. I was so happy to find a place that really understands what dart players and pool players want. Solid equipment, friendly staff, good competition, reasonably priced, good food, and great drink specials. Props to the servers and Ron the manager. You know the place is good when you see the servers there on their nights off to play pool and darts with the regulars! Sports on TV's everywhere, even a huge projection rig - not the best resolution, but there's plenty of smaller HD sets on every wall. Pool, darts (16 bristle boards and a couple of plastic!), trivia night, bar pong, or a DJ in the front room (kind of overly loud, but not always there...) etc. Pool leagues and tournaments, several dart leagues and tournaments, Fun place to be, and the crowd is a good mix of ages - and everyone seems to get along. As a non-smoker, I can enjoy a few hours without going home and needing to throw everything I was wearing in the wash. The mini tacos are my favorite when I'm not too hungry, the burgers when I am! read more

Great if you want to shoot some pool or darts. Food is good at a reasonable price. Haye that people hang out at the front door smoking. You get a cloud of smoke every time you go in and out. They should have a designated smoking area away from the front of the building. read more

Niel and Arthur were nice and got us our orders! Good food but steak was over cooked! We will try chicken tacos next time :) drinks fancy and good read more

They need to fix the sign and change it - Jon Taffer would be livid since they are confusing the public by becoming Revolution, yet keeping the Fast Eddie's sign outside and billing credit cards as "Fast Eddies". I actually haven't been there since the change, I plan to try it soon though! read more

I come here all the time as a darter and have absolutely loved it for the last 3 years or so. BUT, the karaoke on Saturday night needs to STOP. It's way too loud, the people who participate are absolutely terrible, and it deters people from coming in for the nightlife. Also, it doesn't make the bar any money. read more

Previously Fast Eddie's, there's a spot in my heart for this dive! Great picks for beer on tap and nothing but a top tier music selection. Tasty appetizers too. Lots of fun to be had at this place. Middle tier tables, very speedy felt and average sticks. Overall an upper middle tier spot for any time of day or night. Get torqued or chill out, this place can do it all. read more

Food - 5 Star - I tried Pork chops Pool table -3 Star - ok quality Customer Service - 0 Star - They just ignored me. Did not tell me about at least two specials (on food and game) even after asking. Later when asked about the special displayed on the TV, the excuse was, 'oh, I am new here. Did not know about that'. Customer Service - another 0 star. I had to wait there for at least 20 minutes to make the payment. They are in a hurry. May not be well staffed. Manager(on the night of 7/17/2017) - 1 star: Even after let her know the issues, she did not bother to come and talk to me or apologize. Just asked the waitress to give me $5.50 to shut my mouth. read more

Servers were very polite but I ordered some wings to go and the food didn't come out until 40 minutes later. Was told that a big order came ahead of me but it leads me to believe they were simply short handed. Once I got home, I found the wings were a bit dry and that I was given the wrong sauce. Sad face. read more

I'd been to Fast Eddies PLENTY of times in the past and now that Revolution has taken over it has been SO much better and such a welcome change. Same location, same fast eddies, but they went through and gave the place a much needed face lift (even if it was to just replace the felt on the pool tables). I noticed the place looks a bit more roomy and it looks like they rearranged a few things, added a few more places to play darts, and added some TVs and it's now not as dark and dim. One of the things that really help is of course, not being able to smoke. That alleviates a lot of problems and my lungs are thanking the owners. The drink prices are really good and the bartenders that I met were friendly, light hearted and at times, can be heavy handed (which I throughly appreciate). I loved the new look and look forward to going back here soon. read more
