Revolution Rock Bar

It is so unfortunate. I went to revolution rock bar two times and realized that they were holding up the line for this "BAR" while it was empty inside.....this is a bar and not club so why give attitude? Also, there is one bathroom downstairs and if you went back upstairs to use the bathroom they wouldn't let you back down with your friends.....so it was either wait twenty minutes for a dirty bathroom if you could hold it... or leave your friends. this saturday I went to revolution early so i wouldn't have to wait in the pointless line....when i got there they refused to let me and my friend in due to private parties and told me to come back at midnight.....the place was empty and it was saturday night. so unfortunately, this bar (which has so much potential) is trying to be something its not by only allowing table reservations on saturday nights and keeping a line in the freezing cold so the place looks popular......MAY I REMIND YOU.....ITS JUST A BAR!.....the doormen are not helpful and the management is lacking...however, once you do get in, its really fun. Great music and great crowd...its just a shame you are too upset TO ENJOY IT once you get in. Pros: great music, good crowd Cons: unhelpful management, long lines for empty bar, trying to be something its not....awful bathrooms more

"I agree with some of the user comments here ... not really a fan. It has been empty the 2 times I have been in. It's a nice space, but needs better/cheaper food and a much better crowd." more

Well we've been to this place a couple times on Saturday nights. It's always really busy when we've been there, which was around midnight. The crowd is kind of mixed, mix of faneuil hall college crowd through 30's. I'd say about half women/men. It's a pretty big place, music was mostly mashups of rock music when we've been there. Kind of a random location if you don't know the Faneuil area though, but it's been a fun place to stop in for some drinks when we've been there. more

Poor sound system, no beer selection, no women and an overly agressive and unprofessional manager left our group wondering how long this place would be in business. Not worth the hike for a night of staring at bald guys and paying a $10 cover for a below average 'band'. No locals would frequent this place, and out of towners are better off anywhere else in town. Pros: N/A Cons: Manager, location, beer selection, crowd more

I was there on a wed night, and there were 18 guys in the place...not sure if this place will make it, but its a decent addition to the downtown area. At least they're trying something different. Nice bartenders, good prices, and its a big place. Pros: live music, friendly staff, good value Cons: tough location more

I went here Friday night after hearing some rave reviews about the place, and was disappointed. The band that was playing was SO bad that we actually left as soon as they came on. Before the band came on, the bar appeared pretty cool. Lots of space, not a pretentious crowd. I have heard they also have a club downstairs, but this was not open yet. There also weren't too many people there. I get the feeling that this may be more of a happy hour bar, given the location. They may be able to draw in more of a late night crowd, but they'll have to work on booking better bands!!! Pros: atmosphere Cons: horrible band more

Revolution is one of the best places (if not the best) to go around the financial district after work. It's a completely different concept, not your average after work bar. The service is really quick; they practically had it timed when your drink was gone. The bands were fun, but haven't seen too many there yet. The crowd is an interesting mix of suits and ties and jeans and t-shirts. It's loud, but you get used to it, after all, it IS a rock bar! Pros: Everything Cons: Wasn't happy with the pizza there, but seriously, is that really a con?? more

An eclectic vibe makes for a great night out. Barely two weeks after this bar opened, one of my co-workers organized a Thursday night happy hour there. Best time I had in a long time! Upon walking in, from the walls, to the tables, to the menu, one cannot help but notice the rock-themed, yet extremely tasteful decor. The crowd ranged from suit-and-tie executives to jeans-and-Tshirt college grads, which makes for a welcoming environment for virtually anyone who wants to grab a couple of drinks and appetizers after work. The service was good, and so was the food - I recommend the nacho plate. Best of all, though, was the live entertainment. The local rock band that evening played a wonderful mix of hard, mellow, and danceable music. Great place overall, and I look forward to more happy hours there. Pros: live music, atmosphere, location Cons: few, if any more
