    Love, love, love. Revolver is always a nice start to the night. Good drinks, great music and great vibes .

    I can always head the music here as I walk by, good hip hop. I stopped by for a drink. I got an espresso martini. It was good, can't go wrong with good vibes and a good drink. The place wasn't crowded and the cocktail servers were very feeling, I'll definitely be back.

    Impeccable spot with delicious drinks and unmatched energy. Why did they have the best DJ ever? Truly so impressed with this spot, I can't recommend it enough. Staff are super kind and the decor is a nice and elegant aesthetic.

    Revolver is an absolute vibe! From the moment I walked in, the energy was unmatched. The bar manager Tommy was AMAZING -- attentive, welcoming, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience. The DJ set the perfect tone all night, and the drinks? Made to absolute perfection. Every single one. I hate that I live in St. Louis because if I were in Chicago, I'd be here at least once a week without question. The service, customer care, and overall vibe are truly top-notch. And to make it even better, it's Black-owned -- which makes supporting this spot feel even better. If you're looking for great music, flawless drinks, and an atmosphere that just hits, Revolver is it. Highly recommend.

    Definitely a vibe... great drinks, bartender & music.... Side note: They have a happy hour too.

    Amazing happy hour for cocktails at a super chill lounge with speakeasy vibes. Come for the craft cocktails. The bartenders make to order no pre mixed stuff.

    I stopped by Revolver as I saw a recommendation on IG. We decided to go for their happy hour which was priced nicely. The vibes were along the lines of a speakeasy, dark, funky light fixtures which were pretty cool. We ordered a margarita, a sidecar, and 2 shots of Sir Davis. The drinks were ok but the service was pretty poor. The staff appeared to be more interested in talking with each other rather than serving customers. There was a certain warmth missing from this place which was off putting. I would suggest staff really focus more on the customer experience.

    Came here for happy hour and the place fills up fast! Around 6pm on a Friday it was quite loud and the bar was filled. We had a booth and got served fairly quickly. We got the $6 margaritas and made them spicy, which were delicious and refreshing. Definitely recommend for a fun happy hour spot for good cocktails and music!

    Been meaning to check out this speakeasy. We met the owner at the Duplex once and he told us about this new spot...then I forgot about it. First checked this out early April on a Sunday evening. We were able to catch Happy Hour. The place was not crowded but slowly did hit capacity. On this occasion I came with my Father-in-law and Husband. The boys enjoyed dark liquor drinks and I enjoyed bubbles. We didn't grabbed snacks as we had a late lunch but they looked interesting. We enjoyed our time spent here and appreciated that the DJ played old and new jams. It was time to go when Sexy Red came on. I blushed for my Father-in-law. Not so much because of the song but because people started gyrating on the floor, And it wasn't even 7 PM. On second occasion, left another Happy Hour in Wicker Park and wanted to have a night cap. A girlfriend and I decided to come to Revolver. To our surprise here was a meet up being held here and the place was packed. No wonder we couldn't find parking. We were still able to grab drinks and mingle for a bit. On this occasion my drink (He who remains) was not good and horribly expensive. My cocktail ended up being $23 bucks with service charge (tip)...hmm it wasn't worth it. I ended up having another cocktail the Handlebar (margaritas-ish) and that was tasty. Overall, I like this black owned spot. Everyone is chill and having a good time. Right next door to a cool record shop. I will be back but I am gonna need to catch that HH special before rolling over to the $23 drinks.

    Cool ambience, tasty drinks. Bummer that they ran out of the crab dip and creamy tahini dip. The old fashioned comes with a cool cube of ice. Bartender made my margarita spicy for me. Great deal for $8. Hubby said old fashioned was flavorful! The app called Pyro was really tasty. Ritz crackers with spicy butter. I didn't try the pork rinds but hubby said they weren't bad.

    Revolver is cute. You can go in for many reasons: business drink, catch up with friends, to dance or just to grab a quick bite of appetizer and leave. The reasons to go and enjoy yourself are endless. Seating goes quick unless you reserved a table. The bartenders move quickly and the selection of top shelf liquors are great

    Someone I follow online had posted about their great experience here, so I decided to check them out. We arrived a bit before 8pm on a Friday night. The place was fairly busy. We only had to wait 15-20 minutes before two seats opened up at the bar. I didn't previously know that they accepted reservations, but I would likely make one next time. They have large plush booths and seats at the bar available. There is a drink for everyone here. You can find everything from safe classics, to more innovative drinks. The first drink I ordered was the Old Man Logan (Rye, Apricot Eau-de-Vie, Hazelnut Liqueur, Salted Maple Syrup). Spirit forward, but also very approachable. I loved the light sweetness. I also tried my husband's two drinks (Revolver and Black Manhattan ). Those were also excellent. I was craving a Mint Julep. This wasn't a drink on the menu, but the bartender did an excellent job creating one. Very tasty. There are only light snacks on the current menu, but there are plenty of restaurants in the area to pick from. Revolver is definitely worth checking out.

Musics starts at 930ish so it's a bit of a wait if you get there that early, but potentially worth it to snag a lounge/table until reservations show up. Reservations are pricey, but with a group would be super fun and worth it. Workout having reservations, we gave up our seats and headed to the front to hang around the bar near the stage. Really awesome staff, and a coat check if you need it. The bar tenders were friendly and attentive. The music was fabulous. Fun crowd. The drink list was super fun with pop star nmes, the Taylor Swift was the fav, and not just bc I am a Swiftie. The bathtub drink is cute, get one for the photo and move on. The cream didn't work for me. Highly recommend for a fun live music experience and vibe.

Even with the place getting busier later in the night, the staff stayed attentive and kept everything running smoothly without making anyone feel rushed. I also loved how organized the karaoke setup was. Being able to add songs without waiting around made the experience feel seamless, and it helped keep the energy flowing. It's the kind of spot where you can unwind, have a laugh, grab something tasty, and forget about your week for a while. All in all, it turned out to be one of those unexpectedly great nights out.

I don't think $10 a person was necessarily worth it though, as we were seated far away from the stage. Performers would occasionally come around to get money after their performance, which where we were seated we couldn't see a whole lot of the performers, but yet paid extra for it. Ordered my last drink and never got it, thankfully they didn't charge me for it. Living in Las Vegas I guess I'm used to a higher leave of expectations without being charged an additional 18% service charge, especially since I paid additional money for our seats and didn't get the last drink I ordered. Save your money and check out The Bassment or Untitled instead.

BUT somehow Chey S. Still decided to alter my receipt and give her a $10 tip. Which I did not give her. To which is also illegal. If this surcharge that they claim allows for them to take care of their employees - then why are they stealing from their customers? Anyone who comes here or has been here- take pictures of your receipts after you've signed and totaled them. I see in the reviews Chey S. Is a commonly denominator in bad reviews. Not sure why she's still employed here. Committing crimes and businesses letting it slide isn't a good look. Still waiting on my refund of $10 for that check 72 from Thursday the 23rd at 11:39pm that I have yet to receive! Idc to pay the $20 for one mediocre drink, but stealing is completely unacceptable. And it being excused even more so. Unfortunately I don't live in Chicago or I would've filed a police report, since this is FRAUD AND THEFT. Just beware of anyone who visits. I SIGNED to pay $20.91 not $30.91. There was a big fat ZERO tip for a reason. SO for check #72, I'll be waiting for that refund.
