I called in this branch of Revolution as my first point to grab something to eat, before watching the Manchester Derby, (which Manchester City went on to win 2-1 after David Silva and Nicola's Otamendi's goals and some fantastic saves from goalkeeper Ederson, including his double save),during my time in Wilmslow. Inside, the decor is quite nice and the place does feel like a nice place, albeit it feels more like a cool bar, it does serve food too. The menu has recently changed, and even the staff member didn't appear to like it as much, I was told most choice for coeliac and gluten-free was gone, other than a chicken skewers small plate and a curry, which was so sad to see the selection which I could eat as a coeliac, going so downhill. The server did seem nice, however, and did recommend other places I could eat elsewhere but still the change in the menu choice which made it much poorer for coeliacs, really does let this place down. Another thing which lets this place down is the overall feel in terms of the restaurant part, it just feels like a bar in general, you go to the bar to get a menu etc, so in terms of that it isn't the best either. Two-star rating - Slightly generous but this is earned due to the waitress who served me being very helpful and friendly in difficult circumstances. read more

Vibrant, sparkly and fun revs in Wilmslow. Like the revs in the city centre the decor is quite flashy, with comfortable seating and a large bar area. It was quiet when I popped in for a drink with friends on a Wednesday night. We were served quickly and I loved that they had Mahou, my favourite beer after living in Madrid, on tap. The bar man had great knowledge of Spanish beers. I opted for the soft porn star martini as was driving, the shot of Prosecco is replaced with soda water. The 'mocktail' menu was not on display and I had to ask specifically for it. All in all it was a fun place to drink. read more

Nice enough food, great service in day, poor service at night. Went here for lunch with my friend on his birthday, the waitress was really nice and attentive. I had the cheese steak sandwich and my friend had the cheese burger. Both were pretty average, but the garlic bread with cheese was on point! We mentioned it was my friends birthday and they bought out a desert for him which was really nice! We booked a table for 6 of us with 6 vodka shots each for 11 that night with 6 vodka. We got there at 11 and went to the bar but wasn't seen to till half past! Still had a great night all the same/ All in all the great service in the day was let down by the slow service at night. Garlic bread with cheese o'meter - 8/10 read more

One thing I like about stepping into Revolution in Wilmslow is that every time I'm in there I don't feel like I'm in a 'yummy mummy' town in half an hours drive from the city, but more like just stepped off Deansgate into a trendy bar. This place is really well laid out, there is a good array of seating for couples to large groups, if you are in a group I particularly like the large U shaped white leather booths they have, they also have smaller tables and tucked away for more intimate gatherings, something to suit all moods really and no doubt you will be able to find somewhere to sit most times you visit. I've only been here of an evening once and for a bar that encourages you to sit down and eat rather than dance, I do find the music a bit too loud, its more night club level than trendy cocktail / vodka bar, so as long as you don't want any long and meaningful conversations you should be ok. At lunchtimes however the mood is more relaxed and I've never found it to be overly busy. The service is always quite prompt in my experience and there is usually a waiter at your table taking a drinks order before you know it. This surprised me at first as it doesn't strike me as the kind of place where orders are taken at your table, but it's a nice touch. One of the other good things about coming here Monday to Friday for your lunch hour during work, is that they promise to have your food to you in 15 minutes or you get the meal for free, as we have all experienced those anxious clock watching lunches, where you have dared not to eat your lunch at your desk and then wondered how quickly will you have to eat it up before you have to speed walk back to work, so this may alleviate your concerns somewhat. I can say that the food is tasty, what I like about the pizza is that they have a really nice thin and crispy base, they also do tasty burgers, salads and other well prepared main courses. It can also be beneficial for you to get a Revolution card, which although you pay a small amount for initially, it does give you a discount on your bill and entitles you to their two for one offers on burgers and pizzas etc which are on set days each week, they will also email you regularly with other offers. This place is not fine dining, but if you fancy a venue that has substance as well as style then I don't think you will be disappointed whether you choose to dine, drink or both! read more

I like this bar, a lot. If not just for the fact that's it's saved my sorry arse on many an occasion. When I get stranded in Wilmslow from time to time, at the house of my grandmother, a.k.a. the-land-of-no-internet, my life comes to a standstill (a cruel awakening indeed to my e-dependence) forcing me to seek out the local offerings of free wi-fi. Revolution delivers the goods, with a decent speed connection that allows me, as I sit here, to do my work, Yelp away to my heart's content, whilst also downloading some new goodies onto my iPlayer desktop. Schwing. After the initial sigh of internet-related relief I realised I was actually in quite the trendy establishment. Now for those of you who don't know Wilmslow, it's quite the affluent are: full of designer shops, expensive houses and try-hard restaurants. Frequented by WAGs, celebrities and millionnaires alike, Wilmslow is the kind of place that makes people like me, feel very out-of-place. I can just about pass myself off in Revolution, bobbing behind my latop, but I distinctly feel like the scrubbiest person here with no fake tan or designer handbag to hide behind. So why am I giving it 4 stars? Well...the above description would normally put me very on edge in a bar, unable to feel comfortable. But despite all it's pretensions and appearances, the people of Wilmslow are actually very friendly and conversational, and even though I'm conscious of my charity shop and Primark ensemble, nobody looks down their nose at me, and everyone willingly returns my smiles. Massive brownie points from my perspective. It's a very large bar in a very central location, with an upstairs area that opens at the weekends. Normally I'm just here during the day or early evening and the ambience is very pleasant, the music (a delighful mix of reggae and easy listening) is just at the right level, perfect to catch-up with a friend or for me to catch-up on my workload! I can't vouch what it's like at the weekends though. There are lots of different areas to sit, including some really comfortable horseshoe shaped booths, and the lighting has the right balance between being soft and atmospheric whilst not being dark and depressing. The food menu is surprisingly extensive, and there is even a kids menu. There are times when I wish it wasn't quite so child-friendly (like right now, when a certain child just will not be quiet) but I guess it's a nice quality in general. The drinks menu is just as extensive as the food menu with an interesting selection of cocktails, pitchers, shooters and wine. They now even offer a Cocktail Masterclass, boasting to teach 'the secret bartender tricks of the trade' in a 90 minute session - sounds like fun! The bar itself is pretty appealing to the eye: three-sided and bordered with stools along each side, with all the different shapes and sizes glasses sparkling and tinkling overhead. And BOY, is this bar stocked: a real collection of liquors and spirits to tempt onself with. My only qualm, is they don't sell bitter lemon. Not only this, but when I asked for one, the bartended thought I was asking for a cocktail. Maybe he was new, maybe he was just having a bad day, or maybe I'm just a drink-snob who thinks that everyone should know what bitter lemon is? Though I do appreciate this is a minor point, and aside from this, all is well. Very well. read more

Loved this place. Thanks for staying open late for a couple of us. We enjoyed the club and the bartender was the best. She. Deserves a raise. We will be back in October. read more

I don't visit Revolution often however I decided to go in one Monday to benefit from their 50% off food offer. The venue itself is very plush with many seating arrangements and lots of space. It was quiet but the waiting staff were very attentive and welcoming, showing us to a seat of our choice and talking us through the menu. The food and drinks came quickly and the food was great - tasty, healthy, hot and very filling. I had the pesto courgetti which was superb while my guest had an authentic burrito. Definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

Revolution Wilmslow is part of a large chain. Due to its location in the golden triangle of footballers, businessmen and erm terracotta women, in leafy Cheshire, owners in their wisdom have upped prices here compared to other branches. They justify this saying they've tailored the interior to Wilmslow's more sophisticated clientele. Unfortunately, the pieces of the jigsaw are jarring. The interior is trying far too hard, the bar staff are disinterested and conceited, not to mention the temperamental obnoxious (when they choose to be) door staff. Their door policy also leaves something to be desired. Described on their website as "strict" - you won't get this impression when you continue inside. Revolution is trying to sell an image, and the less savoury characters amongst the Wilmslow crowd are lapping it right up. To be honest, I wouldn't recommend this location to a friend. I would go elsewhere. If you must visit the Revolution chain of bars for one of their overpriced concoctions then head into Manchester. A cheap evening return is much cheaper than paying the premium for drinking in Wilmslow. I've given it two stars out of sympathy. To give it just one star seemed a bit cruel - I mean, they do seem to trying, but its just not working. Unless you wish to spend your life savings on a truly mediocre experience, I'd give this one a miss. read more
