revel room

had a great time here with a mint julep and a new orleans fizz. the livemusicwas great and the pianist was definitely a good entertainer. this may be my new fave venue for livemusicin gastown!

great little hang out for live music. located in crosstown area, it is a quaint livemusicrestaurant with pretty good food. i’ve been here twice and really enjoyed the vibe, themusicand the dishes. service was typically pretty good. the dishes were exotic to me and i did enjoy the refreshing flavours of the appetizer dishes i had. drink selection was sufficient. i don’t recall them charging extra for the livemusiclike some restaurants do. there are two floors for this restaurant and it’s pretty cool to watch the band from the loft area. the only drawback of the restaurant is that there is no area to dance and enjoy the music. the main door entrance opens right into the musicians floor level stage and the traffic flow is a little awkward. however, if you want to hang out and listen to music, this is a great spot. i found the price to be reasonable as well.

the atmosphere and livemusicwas great! food was 3.0 but gets the extra 0.5 for the atmosphere. had the jambalaya; it was ok, biscuit was the best part of the meal. come for the drinks and music!

this place was fun! i went as a solo female traveler, and had no problem getting a corner table in an already busy place. the live bands andmusicstart at 7pm unless otherwise stated, and the rockabilly/swing/blues combo did not disappoint, and even the owner sings! try their cocktails-i started with the puft s'more one which i now wish i would've saved until dessert :) then the revel love and a champagne kiss-delicious!! and the crab cakes!!! yum!!!

great place!. i've been to the revel room on more than one occasion with groups large & small. each & every time the food has been good, the service good and the ambiance is great. consistency is the key to a great restaurant and these guys have it in spades. also sunday to thursday they have livemusicthat is reflective of the menu. the menu is southern/cajun style with lots of yummy dishes. the drinks menu is in keeping with the food menu (yep, they have mint juleps!). it's not just a restaurant, it's an experience!
