the ambiance in this place is so nice, but their cocktails are sadly not good. i feel bad because all the staff are super cool, too... but none of their cocktails (... even the seasonal ones) looked appetising. i'm not a beer drinker, either, so even more drink options (which they put as part of their cocktails?) were further limited because most of them were "beer + a shot of something." i think it's still worth a visit tho, especially if you're bar hopping at all the other bars in the area. again, the ambiance is great and it's a cool place to just sit and chill with friends. i'll be back but maybe i won't drink anything lol. read more

Service was great. Ambiance was unique with retro decor and lots of black lights and such. The drinks were just ok. The drink menu was also not particularly interesting to us. I had read there was vinyl here, but I didn't really see any or understand how that came into play. It seems like a perfectly decent bar but not something we'd necessarily come back for or that's particularly unique. read more

The 80s movies entranced me; last night was The Lost Boys. Come for drinks, stay for the photo both, movie, and good window watching. The Revolverita is actually spicy and delicious. Revolver is a staple of mine! read more

I liked the vibe and ambiance of this spot a lot, and the drinks were also pretty good. We found this place when walking around cap hill on a Friday night and it seemed to have a pretty good crowd. Luckily we were able to get a booth to sit at before it got much more crowded later in the night. For drinks we got the last mango in paris and raspberry beret. Between the two I think I liked the raspberry more since it had an especially unique tea flavor due to the sweet tea vodka. The mango one was less sweet and was also pretty pleasant. For a nice spot to talk, I would definitely come back here. read more

Revolver Bar - Raspberry & mango - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Funky bar! We did not try the food so cannot speak to that, but drinks were low frills and got the job done. They were out of the seasonal cocktail noting it was very good haha so I just got a vodka soda. We did the photo booth and bought a t-shirt because we liked the design. Good music! read more

super cool bar that is a retro, 70's theme with a dj that only spin vinyl records! a very fun place for a group if you wanted to a more chill vibe to go out in. the security and bartender were very sweet and fun to talk to. we had ordered their strawberry field shots that were rather large but went down easy which was nice. would definitely come back in the future! read more

Solid spot if you want a casual place to have a few drinks. The bartenders were cool, ID check guy was also cool. One friend dropped his ID and the guy chased after us to bring it back. If you are walking by and like the vibe, stop in and have a drink. Mixed crowd. I had a hazy IPA and a bourbon if I remember correctly. Serve yourself water available. Indoor and outdoor seating. Sorry if this wasn't very helpful. read more

The vibe is dope. The tiny black and white tv in the corner is awesome. The record collection rocks. The drinks are alcoholic. Mack is a great bartender. Will return. Zero stars. read more

Nice bartender and DJ playing vinyl records. Has a fun astrology wheel to spin. It does take extremely long to stop and is partially weighted but fun! The drinks and vibes are good. Not too crowded. read more

Ya, it's been a number of years prior to this visit, but I got nothing but lousy service and no product. Ambiance is aight So I'm in the neighborhood, thought I'd stop in and have a quick belly up. I sat down at the bar, and patiently waited while the young, dark haired bartender with ponytails slowly finishes with those that were ahead of me. I was patient with her helping someone that arrived after me, letting her complete the order. But when she asked another late arrival for his order, I spoke up. 'Excuse me, am I invisible?'' She read me the riot act, telling me that I was ruining the atmosphere and that I didn't need to be so rude. I did pipe up for myself in this, mentioning that all I said was the above quote. So I'm thinking, no big deal, move on and take the blame. 'I stand corrected, it's all good'. She started talking about how it would be awkward to serve me now, because I would be hostile. I said something about 'really, you don't want to serve me now?'. Nothing rude up to this point. She kept on with this. I finally lost my cool at that point, giving her the bird along with another expletive, and stormed out read more

Great ambience. They have amazing vinyl music all the time and they have great collection of it. We got the drop shots and they all were super good. They have huge sitting area. Overall well priced drinks, amazing staff and great service. read more

Was walking by with some friends one afternoon, when the thirst hit, and this place caught our eye. So, in we went for a pre-dinner drink, and we were all immediately immersed in the warm colors of the place, the wall art, and the throwback music mixing in with the atmosphere. Although the place was buzzing with customers, the staff never lost their cool, the epitome of quirky and attentive. Truly, a place that can only germinate and thrive in Seattle. I'm definitely adding this bar to my list of places to show out-of-towners, as it captures some of the best features of Seattle's nightlife: unpretentious, charming, and memorable! And if you are a music lover, this place has vinyls!!!! I was told you can actually request songs you wanna listen to! But you must be wondering why I'm ranting on everything but the drinks in a bar review. Are the drinks bad? Not in the least! They were strong and so delicious!!!! And this wasn't just my opinion! One of my friends that night is a professional bartender, and he loved the drinks! Seriously, the drinks were great, the colors intense, but let's go back to the music for a final round. I'm sure I heard some Beatles and Led Zeppelin, but I'm definitely going back, and SOON!, to test their claim of having a "vast collection of records". Besides the familiar songs, I didn't know a lot of the other artists, which made it not only fun, but also educational. Now, when was the time you went to a bar, and got free music lessons? :P read more

Revolver Bar - Drinking area :p - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Visited Seattle last week staying in Cap Hill and wandered down the road and saw a good amount of people in here. I immediately saw why... Such a great selection of Spirits/draft beer and even small bites if you're hungry. Had me some great Manhattans and delicious Hazy IPA and felt so happy to be there. Went back the next night and this became my favorite bar in the area. Love the outside tables to have a cigarette and enjoy the Cold weather. read more

Definitely not a cocktail bar. They couldn't even make a classic daiquiri. We had to pay for a second drink and tell them how to make it.

Maybe the coolest bar in Seattle! Vinyl, Booze and Food. What else do you need? Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Doors and Hendrix! read more

We weren't here for very long. Just killing some time before karaoke. Super chill little bar and I always love bars with a little section of arcade games which is upstairs. The lady at the bar was super friendly and attentive and she had cool hair too. We don't come to this area too often but definitely will be coming back read more

Revolver Bar - Red Bull vodka, cranberry vodka, and an IPA - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Awful service. Rude and very aggressive bartenders. This place has completely fallen off.

Jammed packed on a Friday night, this is the place to be! Okay beer selection, reasonable prices. The fried mushrooms weren't much to rave about, but I really appreciate the fact that they were fried properly and didn't get all soggy! The staff was friendly enough. I don't know if I'm into their food, but they're definitely a great spot for drinkage and tunes! read more

What an AMAZING spot. This bar is nice and was a lovely stop on a Saturday afternoon. You walk in to some spooky vibes with fun Halloween decor. They had a vinyl record collection hanging out behind the bar and a friendly bartender. I had the bellwitch, a vegan pumpkin White Russian. I'll definitely stop by next time I'm in Seattle! read more

One of my favorite bars in Seattle. I'm a huge music lover and Revolver feels like home to me! This is a casual place, where even if you've never been, it seems familiar. They always have amazing craft beers and a slider of the week. I tried the buffalo chicken sliders and I really enjoyed it! A couple bites of yummy, spicy shredded chicken on a bun (with blue cheese!). Bartenders are attentive and when it's busy it never feels cramped. I would recommend Revolver as an essential Seattle bar! It's also surrounded by some also memorable Olive way dives. read more

Would give zero stars if available. There are other respectable bars within distance that would be glad to have your business. Don't waste your time with the staff here, you won't get very far. read more

Revolver Bar is a fairly new bar from what I heard in The Stanger. Steve and I were spending an afternoon in Capital Hill and decided we needed a snack. We were by Revolver and so there we go! The place is relaxing and lounge like. The atmosphere is cool and everyone and everything is laid back. Since we were hungry we did not get anything to drink so I cannot comment on the drinks. The food at Revolver is Cajun or Crejole influenced. The portions of the food are small. Perfect for a snack. I got the large Red Beans and Rice which was very good! Steve got some Catfish Burger Sliders which were also very good! Revolver is perfect to go for drinks or a snack. Just be aware that getting a full sized meal is not something that they do here. I noticed on the way out they have several turntables up in the other room from the bar. It would be fun to come when they are playing music on these! read more

Revolver is located in the building that Dinette used to be in and I really like what they've done with the space. I'm a sucker for theme restaurants and this place does the 60s/70s music scene very well. I like the vinyl library they had there and the fact that you feel like you're sitting with Eric, Fez, and Kelso in the circle when you're hanging out in there. I didn't try a huge cross section of the food, but it does seem that they are still figuring some stuff out. The Muffuleta sliders were yummy and the taste was true to the essence of the New Orleans sandwich, despite the fact that it only has ham for meat. The bread and the nicoise olive spread were good. The gumbo was okay. I think it was underspiced and I wasn't a huge fan of the fact that it was served with jasmine rice. I think it would be beneficial if they served it with a dirty rice instead. I'm willing to chalk that up to the relative newness of the bar. I think it'll take a little time to fine tune everything. The drinks were okay for the most part. Not everyone in our group enjoyed every drink they ordered, and I think that accurately reflects my experience too. Their old fashioned is pretty good, but their rogue orb was pure tequila. It's supposed to be tequila and pineapple juice that has a smoked salt and cayenne pepper rim. But all I could taste was tequila. Were were there for happy hour, which they do every day from 4-6 and I was able to get a pint of Ranier for $2. So that's a pretty good deal. I was mildly amused that the bartender looked like he was a member of Jethro Tull. I think he might have been hired because he perfectly fits with the theme there, not necessarily because he's an expert at slingin' booze. Again, I think this is due to the fact that this spot is so new. Once all the staff get more experience with the menu, I think these things will sort themselves out. I really liked the attention to detail in the design of the interior of Revolver. I will come back again, but I'm going to give it a little while while the kitchen and the bar learn how to perfect the menu items. read more

This is by far one of my favorite spots to visit when I am in Seattle! This place has an awesome authentic 70's vibe and decor to it from the vinyl that lines the back of the bar, to the furnishings and decor; defnitely sets a great mood to grab some food or drinks. They make an amazing Old Fashioned here that is delicious and my go-to drink order when I visit. As far as beer + and shot specials go, you can't beat the $2 PBR + Rainier shot when you're looking for a great deal. The appetizers and food are also great - had the fried pickles, tator tots, and fish fritters; all great! read more

Revolver Bar - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'll admit I've been here a couple times but a drink now and then but truthfully never really had the urge to write about it. There are a couple good spots on that block. My girl and I rolled by though for the Bowie Blunch and stayed for some food. The food was good, but what really impressed me was that they kind of messed up my girls order and bam the bartender (didn't get his name, nice guy) sorted it out fast. Got it cleared up and corrected so fast and showed us some live on the bill, no hesitation. Service is the key for me. We'll be back for sure to spend our cheese on theirs. Roll by this place and check it out if you haven't, it's worth it. read more

Revolver Bar - Yeah...that's my pic. So good I didn't even wait to take a pic to scarf it down. - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is so cool. The music is always different and interesting because the bartenders get to pick what they want to hear from the amazing selection of records. There are often old-timey movies playing on the tv screens and there are some games for the patron to play, like jenga, dominoes etc. The bartenders are cool and laid back and Gary is the best! He's great to talk to and can usually be found out on the patio area. I haven't ever had a bad night here. read more

Excellent bar to go to with friends. Has great drinks and a fun atmosphere. Would definitely recommend as a good spot to check out.

Dylan is the man he will make you feel at home and he will play recommendations when asked very funny bar. Bartenders knowledge on drinks is very great 10/10 recommend. read more

100% support the proof of vaxx requirement. Grateful that Revolver is doing their part to keep the community safe!

This is my go-to neighborhood bar for almost every chill night out. Revolver is welcoming and unpretentious, with friendly bartenders, comfy seating, and great music. The beer list is long and ever-updating, and the staff is always happy to provide recommendations. Cocktails and mixed drinks are creative, too; I got a Fireball hot toddy here once which kind of blew my mind. Revolver is the perfect place to start an evening on the deeply underrated E Olive Way bar strip and I'll keep coming as long we're both here. read more

Rudest bartenders in Seattle. Do not come here unless you want to be belittled and charged an excessive amount for crap booze. Cons: + Bartender was absolute garbage. My fiancee asked him how much liquid is in the glass for the drop shots. He responded with "really man?" and proceeded to slam a shot glass on the table. Umm #1 thats not what he was asking, #2 how about not slamming things in front of paying customers. Next, we ordered a drop shot, the bartender sneered and said "really dude? what are you 21?" I don't know about you, but when I order a drink it would be great to not be made fun of, when it's on the freaking menu. SO RUDE. + Bartender does not listen or is massive troll. I ordered a vodka cran. Super simple. He gave me a freaking IPA. What? Now that I am thinking about it, I am sure he gave me a beer so he could up-charge us, because he apparently had a problem with us being in there. + Expensive drinks for what you are getting, our bill was close to $20, for two drinks, at a dive bar + Atmosphere is dirty, but not as dirty as that bartenders attitude Overall, reading other reviews, it seems like management does not care about extremely rude bartenders working here. That coupled with a bad atmosphere and expensive drinks really makes this place a dump. We will never be back and will stick with a better dive bar close by(hint hint: it's two doors down and starts with "M"). read more

Really cool atmosphere and feels really safe, the staff(specifically the guy who checks id's) really puts in so much effort to make sure the women in the bar are safe! The shots are also really fun read more

Cool place, kind of a trippy, fun atmosphere. They were playing old mystery/horror films while spinning some really cool records. I was here at about 6 on a Friday and it was pretty chill still. Drinks were cheap and strong and the bartenders were really friendly, talked about records/music, all that. Highly recommend as a place to start your night out. read more

Cute little neighborhood bar. Cheap, well-made drinks, snacks and a great atmosphere. Came here late on a weeknight with some friends and it was perfect. Not too crowded, not dead - just lovely.

Two stars for good music and a nice crowd. The drinks on the other hand aren't very good. Nor is the bartender's attitude, boooo! My friend ordered the tater tots and later asked if we could make sure they were crispy. Bartender's response is "tater tots are always crispy". Have you ever had a soggy tot? When I politely told her that we were just checking since some places under-cook them, she looked at me and said "you're done", implying I was hammered. What?! Sad. Yet amusing too. read more

A great neighborhood bar with a fun drink menu and surprisingly delicious food! The bartenders are friendly and the place never seemed to get too crowded on a Friday night.
