Yikes! Â I meant to come back and update this review I don't know how many times. Â I got the final nudge just now. Â *ahem*
SO... the 'rev' is completely different than what it was before. Â The area that used to be known as Plan B is now added to the area I once knew as the original rev.
I love that they offer StrEAT every Wednesday - where many food trucks (and carts) can come together and offer their mouthwatering dishes at such a cool spot. Â What's even better is that if it's too chilly or too hot to eat outside, you're more than welcome to bring your food inside and eat at the bar, at the tables, or at one of the couches. Â The prices aren't bad for drinks and parking extends out to the back and off to the side of the building.
Went to Revolution Room for my birthday recently, I think it's a  pretty cool place. My favorite part was the multiple rooms that had varying music. The best music was probably in the back room with the projections of naked ladies. However... I did not enjoy seeing dancing silhouettes with nipples........ kinda weirded out.... also I feel as if that room needs to be refined, I like the idea but it could be decorated much better to match the classiness of the music.
So my only complaints are about the nipples.. and maybe some of the ghetto people there.
Man, I love this place. Â It's my usual Wednesday night spot. Â It's just your basic bar, but on Wednesdays, they host StrEAT, so you can get some awesome food truck food to eat with your beer. Â Before 9, my draft Woodchuck is always $2.50, and $2 you call its after 9. Â It takes quite a lot to actually run up a big tab here. Â
It's a chill place, with bathrooms that don't make you want to bleach yourself, friendly bartenders, and cheap drinks.
Live music and a great time :)) This place is always a good weekend stop. I went on a Saturday and meet up with some friends. They had a live band and there isn't a cover which is a plus. The bar staff is always fast and willing to serve you a drink. this place has a front bar with live music, two back rooms with two DJ's in two different rooms. There is an outside patio for those who smoke.
Review Source:This is definitely the late night spot to be on Sunday! If you get there early it's a little slow, but around midnight the Sunday Fundaze crowd from the hangar walks over and turns the party up a few notches! Awesome DJ and Drink Specials, all night long! They even have a good (for frozen) pizza to help you pace your night! See you there! It's a party!
Review Source:Spent an early Wednesday evening here recently. Â They had the foot trucks parked out front (which were ASTOUNDING). Â We occasionally snuck into the bar for some good ole air conditioning and very cheap, frosty beverages. Â Everyone here is very cool and laid back - I will be making another Wednesday night visit again real soon!
Review Source:Gotta stop here when you're hopping along the Broadway bars! Very elclectic mix of all different walks of people split into 3 or 4 different rooms with different types of music, live, rock, hip hop...if you get bored just walk into the next room.
They also have my fave...XXX Photo Hunt!
Got a chance to sit at the Revolution Room Sports Bar for a bit before the food trucks rolled around and really dug the atmosphere. Â It had all the things I need in a bar: clean restrooms, smoke-free air and blue moon. Â Went on a Wednesday, their Happy Hour specials were awesome. Â $2 bottle beers and after 9pm $2 you-call-its.. Â It's a really chill spot to enjoy a few beers after work and I'm thinking of making it a regular hang out especially if they keep them food trucks coming.
Review Source:This is a Wed Night stop for me.
StrEAT Food is in the parking lot Wed Night. Gotta support my food trucks!
They have cheap beer for happy hour on Wed and after 9 (I think) is $2 you call it. Since its a worknight for me I dont get to partake in the you call it.
They also have a huge projection screen to catch the Spurs kn and some other tvs up by the bar.
Why 4 stars? Â The DJs make this club number one for dancing. Â Donnie D33, Chacho, DJ Gibb. Â There special events and guest DJs make this place FRESH. Â You cannot find the decor or atmosphere any where else. 2 levels, 5 bars. Â It's been in SA for over 5 years..Coming from the bar and restaurant industry - you know you have to be great to last past year 2. Â Good times and Good looking people.
Review Source:I've worked here for almost a year, we are working on the dresscode situation, its come a long way from when I first started but it takes time for people to get the hint to come dressed in normal fitting clothes, your not 400 lbs please wear a shirt that fits you! But besides that the clientele is 20 times better then it was a year ago, so don't be afriad to stop in and have a drink!
Review Source:Meh. This place is alright. Nothing special. They have a variety of atmospheres to hang out in. The front bar seems to be somewhat of a meat market. Plenty of bar space to get a drink. The drinks are on the expensive side, but they have a wide variety to choose from.
The back bar is quite loud, and impossible to talk over. The bar tenders are aloof, and act like they have better things to do than serve drinks.
They have this room of revolutionaries that has a neat vibe. It's like a tunnel or something. They serve drinks in there too. Again, rather loud in there too.
Occasionally, they open the down stairs area, and sometimes charge a cover, sometimes they don't. Sometimes, if they see that a lot of people are going downstairs, they start charging a cover half-way through the night, which can be annoying if your friends are upstairs and you want them to go down, or vice versa.
This place has been attracting a rougher and rougher clientèle recently. Someone got shot in the parking lot a few months ago in a drive-by shooting.
Their idiotic bouncer, an off-duty cop from some small city decided to open fire on a car that nearly hit another cop. I don't appreciate their bouncer firing shots off into my neighborhood.
I've never had a bad time coming here...
It's not as posh as what I'm used to, but still. Â There's a bit of everything for everyone here. Â You walk in, and immediately you come across a bar. Â On the side, there's a bunch of tables and chairs where you can gaze over the stage, where there's usually a cover band performing.
Walk past the bar, and to the right, there is a hip-hop tunnel room. Â There is a DJ playing the latest of hip-hop music, plenty of comfortable sofas to lounge on, and also a little mini-bar.
On the other side of the hip-hop room, is a big patio terrace, where you can enjoy a smoke, if you do.
And at the back of the place is an open dance floor. Â They usually play some kind of electronica/dance, but it all depends. Â
So, yeah, a little bit of everything for anyone. Â The dress code is not very strictly enforced, though you won't be able to get away with flip-flops. It's a pretty much local-clientele. Â So, it's a somewhat laid-back atmosphere.
(thank you Revolution Room for hosting the Phazez 25th year reunion and so appropriately underground in the basement.)
"The day may come when our children's children regard us every so briefly in passing while we rock away on our suburban wrap around porches. When the quickly cooling air of late autumn serves as a chilling reminder of our youth spent in constant alarm of global thermal nuclear war with an adversary whose persona appeared so ruthless and cold.
But that is not this day!
When the omnipresent rhythmic thumping and sophomoric lyrics of modern popular music spread across the landscape like a disease infecting the minds of daytime television viewers whose forefathers' books lie crumbling in the dusty old attics of long forgotten farmhouses. When the marketing geniuses pass along another manufactured teen for little girls to find justification in transforming their parents into human ATM machines.
But not this day!
There may come a time when the social injustices and economic oppressions worldwide no longer linger in the psyche of a generation raised on fear and regret whose only escape was in the music that echoed their outcries with passion and anger left swaying in salty puddles across a dimly lit dance floor.
But that is not this day!
This day we dance!"
Came here for a show by my boyfriend's band. Me and my whole group were hanging out downstairs for about an hour during another band's set. When we came up to use the restroom, there was a sheriff sitting at the top of the stairs charging a cover. I ducked back down before he saw me, but my friends weren't as lucky. So, in essence, they had to pay $5 to use the restroom. Ridiculous. If you are going to charge a cover, charge it! But don't decide halfway through the night to charge people retroactively. Ugh.
Review Source:The bar itself isn't bad. It's spacious and the drink prices are about average. The clientele, however, make the place unsuitable for anyone with average intelligence.
I recall some dude with a grill and scott storch sunglasses floating around the place as if he were high on horse tranquilizers. I remember some guy who looked like a cross between a gorilla and a pitbull coming up to me and saying, "You bumped my friend! What are you gonna do about it?!"
The only night I've been ended with a brawl among 10 people--beer bottles were thrown and broken over heads... the whole nine yards.
This seems to have become a place for pee-brained, sexually frustrated men to come and pick fights with one another. Rebar, across the street, is much safer.
