The bartender was really polite and made great chat, shame I didnt get a name but he recognized me after coming in for a third night this week. Went with my friend while he visited and I gave the dancers some tips for their service, lol. Great atmosphere and lively as well. Would come back again when I am off for the weekend.
Dont go on a Tuesday night. They advertise buy one get one drinks. But they are so watered down. I had 8 drinks and no buzz at all. Id prefer you to charge full price and give a drink worth drinking. Plus the guy working Tuesday isnt very friendly ..
So I have mixed feelings about this place. It’s usually our first stop on a night out. Good vibe but watch out for pick pocketers!!! My phones been stolen right out of my pocket at the urinal and I know 2 others who had their phone stolen at this place. Keep an eye on your sh*t! Also tonight in particular the bathrooms smell rancid! Yuck
Back in the early eighties revolver was one of the first video bars Ive ever been to. Its a legend and one of the gay hot spots you need to visit if youre in Los Angeles. The pictures are from Bros for Hillary party on the night that Hillary made her speech at the Democratic National Convention. Great looking guys at this bar hand ateres where you can watch guys walking by coming home from the gym. You have to come the revolver if you visit Los Angeles.
RUDEST BARTENDERS in all of West Hollywood! Starting with the good, I have visited Revolver frequently throughout the years and have noticed a slow decline in the upbeat, lively energy that initially attracted me. Recently, the last 4 out of 5 visits have been horrible. Four different bartenders on four other dates have given me the worst attitudes I have experienced in West Hollywood. What’s worst than a bad day at work and deciding to have a martini at one of your favorite bars? An arrogant bartender argues with you saying your favorite drink, a lemon drop martini with Tanqueray, is “NOT a martini, and you don’t know what you’re talking about.” Another time I visited, a bartender asked for my order, and I, like always, greeted them with a smile and asked, “Hi, how are ya?”. Many bartenders at other establishments in the past have smiled back and said, “I’m ___; thank you for asking; you’re the first person to ask me how I am doing today”! No, this bartender responds, “Hurry up! You’re wasting my time! What do you want”? The first time I noticed the decline was earlier this year when a few bartenders were chatting behind the bar, seeing me with my card in hand, whispering to each other, and blatantly ignoring me. After about 10 minutes of me patiently waiting, one of them rolls his eyes, huffs, and annoyingly says, “yes?!” as if I am bothering them for my first drink of the evening…It saddens me to see this once great bar fall short of such terrible customer service / nasty bartender attitudes, and I, unfortunately, will never come back. I never leave Revolver feeling great and lively like I used to in the past. In the last 4 out of 5 experiences, I had left that bar feeling worse than when I walked in.
Garbage front door staff. My friend and I were literally beat up by the bouncers tonight. Seriously unprofessional and gross. It was traumatic and disturbing. Used to love this bar. I will not let them go.
This is a great bar . Very gay friendly environment. Nicky is my favorite bartender very sweet and always go the extra mile when it comes to the drinks and customer service . The pop alternative music is amazing also. The dancers are the best here also . Very fun bar .
Bouncer needs to be trained to restrain people who are too drunk rather than assault them, push them to the ground, and keep punching them in the head when theyre already down. Happened to my friend Sat 9/24/22 about 10:30pm. Thankfully another security guard stepped in to restrain the bouncer. Without doubt one of the worst experiences ever. Plenty of people complain about pickpockets here, but getting roughed up by the staff definitely exceeds that. If I could give negative stars I would!
Came here last night, and my boyfriends wallet got stolen. The security guard let us back in to check for it, but the place was packed, and we couldnt see anything on the ground while we looked. The security guard then asked us to call later, to see if it gets turned in to the lost&found. Weve tried calling a couple times, and one phone line is disconnect, and the other line rings 3 times and then stops. Reading other reviews, its pretty insane how often pickpocketing happens here and management doesnt seem to do anything to change that. We went to a couple other bars before this one, and this was the only one that they had packed to the brim, with customers shoulder to shoulder-perfect for thieves. Trying to leave was a hassle; we were honestly probably only in there for 15 because our friend saw someone he wanted to say hi to. And in that short time span, my boyfriend got his wallet stolen. Almost seems like the whole place is in on it. They have a sign on the outside saying they arent responsible for theft or lost items, and after reading reviews, that just seems like a red flag to me.
This place is the BEST. Come for the throwback songs and watch your divas on the big screen! The music is AMAZING and the bartenders are so friendly. Don’t mind the bad reviews below: most places are cashless now due to the pandemic (duh!) and pickpockets are everywhere - I’ve gone for years and never had a problem.
Dancers were KILLIN IT! DJ did his thang ❤️ great vibes
I apprecciate that they dont remix every single song. Prices are good too. Unfortunately, a barwoman lost my credit card after I gave it to her. That kind of ruined it all. She didnt apologize and I feel she didnt make the effort I was expecting from her to recover my plastic. Not to mention that I was on a vacation and not having my card made everything cumbersome
Walked in off the street just to sing a quick little diddy. The host had an amazing voice, wish I would of got her name. Fun and festive. Some really good singers. Danced out on the patio. Grabbed 2 beers. Line was quick for karaoke.
Came here back on April 15th. I was one of the many people that got their phone stolen. Called the place to inquire about their lost & found and nobody answers. Typical. The last location that FindMyIPhone detected was in a place a block away where I never was at the night it got stolen. Go elsewhere. This place is packed shoulder to shoulder which makes it easy for thugs to pickpocket you especially while you’re drinking, so beware.
Phone was stolen (pickpocketed from my purse) within a matter of minutes of entering this business specifically. Apparently this has been happening often. The business should look into this - ramp up security, have guarding at the bar and bathroom, screen out individuals that seem suspicious. I won’t be returning and will caution friends not to go. What a bummer.
I went to watch Drag Race All Stars and a drunk Drag Queen was hosting. She would not shut up and her running commentary was not even funny just lots of yaaaaas queen! And she screamed on mic! Gay guys were covering their ears to block it out. Basic microphone etiquette - DO NOT SCREAM ON MICROPHONE!
This place is super crowded which may be fun for many but 3 of us had our phones pick pocketed and turned off so there was no way to retrieve. The management was helpful in trying to assist but no return of devices. I learned there are gangs now in weho of people who do this. It is so rude and illegal and a hassle to get things replaced even with Insurance.I think WEHO THE CITY AND POLICE NEED TO STEP UP. It always used to be fun and friendly and it’s full of criminals now. No Thanks
The place looked fun as it was the busiest bar around, however me and my partner been refused to enter by a bouncer on Monday 28th June only because we had UK driving license and not carrying a passport with us. That’s a shame as we went to all the other bars without any problems and spent about 300$ in drinks and having fun. What’s more funny is that we came back after a few hours and the other bouncer let us in. 😂 Maybe your staff should be more educated and recognise an international ID. Big put off
Couldnt pay for my drinks with cash. I lost my card and the bar tender pull out this tiny sign that says cashless. At least put a sign outside that says NO CASH. Ill just walked my happy self to the Abby. Cash is Legal tender for public debts and private btw.
I was in such a good mood Monday night until I came into Revolver. Such a rude and ungrateful bartender. If hes still there, it might be a reflection of who hired him. Never coming back. I will also avoid looking towards your direction as Im walking along on the boulevard. What a shame. People like you make me lose my faith in good service. Im the most patient person you can meet, and you tested me. Im forced to give you a 1, as you deserve a 0.
Place is so overcrowded that you can easily be pickpocketed. My wallet was stolen last night. Good luck with your valuables if you come here. Never going to this area again.
Visited the bar and forgot to close tab. Clumsy mistake, but thanks to the use of Google business messenger I was able to contact the bar immediately the next morning. Maintained constant communication with Revolvers friendly and very helpful Robert who I feel went out of his way to make sure I was happy. Thank you.
Fantastic go-go boys and very friendly. Music was a little dated, but overall a great time. Nicely mixed crowd where anyone would feel welcome. Great place to have a drink on a Saturday night.
Its so loud. The location is great, theres no cover, friendly bartenders and the music selection is great but oh my gods could you turn it down to a level that doesnt make my ears ring through the next day.
Probably the better place to go for music. And if the main bar at the front is packed, they always have their bar in the back area open and its great to get away from the riff Raff. Bathrooms are nice and roomie. My only concern is how small the places and how packed it gets
The truth I confirm with what you say I spoke to him about 11 times and he was ignoring me and he listened and looked when the boy with the glasses spoke to him very friendly he took care of me as he shouldConfirming Joses comment
Phone stolen within 15 mins of coming here - directly right of my own coat pocket. Be careful.
Beware of pick pockets. My phone was stolen within the span of minutes. If you go just be extremely cautious as phone theft is very common.
Bartenders and dancers were great, but DJ was very rude to us when we tried to request a song. Won’t be back :(
I enjoyed myself the last time I went. There was a handsome clientele, good music and the drinks were strong.
Super bar! Super music and some of the most handsome bartenders in the area!!! Will go back! Greeting to all from San Antonio 😊
One of the sercurity or management Snatched a water cup out of my hand Definitely could have ask for the cup back no need to be rude
Good spot for an 11pm pit stop. Music is often 80s, 90s or hip-hop.
Hot staff, hot go-go boys, great drink specials, and entertaining theme nights... I usually stop in for a drink or 3 ;) whenever Im on the strip!
Hot crowd, fun dancers but slow bartenders. Dont expect to dance here either, but the people watching is rich.
Great place for happy hour or weekday specials. A bit to much for drink prices with out specials considering all the other choices near by.
Very nice atmosphere and music but the black security guard at the door should leave the attitude at home 😁
Great place if you’re shy. You can just watch the all the TVs. LOL
It’s so disrespectful that I couldn’t finish my drink that I paid for after I went out, that lady at the door was so rude I just wanted to finish my drink and she didn’t let me, there is no sign that say that you can not get out with your drink or anything like that....
Want to be treated like human garbage? And have your iPhone stolen? Go here!
I always LOVE this bar. Great bartenders. Great crowd for twenty somethings
Overly crowded, ok music, weak drinks, expected clientele, and standard go-go boys. Enough said
Used to be the spot in Saturdays for 80s songs , DJ had a notebook for requests, not anymore.🤐
Great bar and nice crowd. Drinks could be stronger.
Great place to go if you want to get your phone stolen
Another spot with an identity problem. How many names have they had at this spot?...Also, another racial problem spot. *GAG!
Awesome music! Sexy men! And a fantastic time!!!!
Great music, great people, very good vibes.
Lol does anyone even manage this place anymore.
I didnt have to pay for my drinks.
I love the bartenders they are great.
Very Disappointed discriminate
Worst experience from higher staff and security.
The darts game is EVERYTHING!!!! Go for the darts.
Fun place and good drag.
Phone stolen after 10 minutes in the bar, the security guard saw it and did nothing. I believe that the security guards know about the phone thefts that happen because they happen in front of them and they do nothing. Place full of thieves, be very careful.
