Had a couple drinks there during a weekday evening and the atmosphere is pretty chill.

For some reason I didnt feel anything cool or interesting about this place. Just another bar. They seem to have pretty cheap drink options tho.

Nice chill good vibe type of spot the drinks was not to my liking but I still had a good time

Intimate space perfect for getting a few drinks before or after a meal. Booths are comfy and spacious. Bartenders are nice and drinks are delicious.

Good music. Pretty crowded during weekends

This is a decent late night bar spot in Wicker Park. The drinks were decently priced ($9 for a rum & coke) and seemed to get more potent throughout the night, at least for me. There isnt much seating in the main space when it gets full, so my group & I had to stand near the back room of the venue, which opens at 10pm. We waited & got in to sit & chat only to discover that it doubles as a dj booth & dance floor with very, very low seating lining the walls. Good for a drink & meeting new people; not good for a serious conversation, lol.

Drinks where portioned nicely. The vibe was great and it had a real smoot dj.

This place is so low key with a warm and friendly environment that you can let loose. And have lots of fun.

Rip Off!!!!! Make sure you keep a track of what you spend. I was overcharged 3 times within two hours. The bartender put another persons drink on my bill and then acted as if she adjusted my bills. Not at all!!! Two people (including my bartender) also told me that my drinks were 10 each and after the bartender supposedly adjusted my bill they were suddenly 12 each. After viewing my transactions later online, I notice that nothing was adjusted and they even had the nerve to take tips.

A cool bar to hang out at, I love the rustic look.

Really cool atmosphere and always get amazing service

Good music,Nice vibe, great service

This place was cute. A fun little dive with great booths. I was there early while waiting for a patio table though, so I cant speak to the scene.

Friendly bartenders, cool interior. nice place to chill with a friend at the bar or a booth on a weekday.

Diverse crowd with decent priced drinks and a wide demographic of DJs

It was cool. The music has been better.

Went with a group of 9. Super fun and fantastic music. A very good variety. The space is more open than other place I have been in the area so there is good space for dancing.

Came here a number of times for a number of reasons. The beer selection is solid without being spectacular, but where they really shine is their cocktails, regardless of whether theyre draft or handmade. Candle lighting and decor favors conversation as well.

Small amount of space but good music the night we went, mixed crowd which I appreciate, and drinks were okay price. Sizable and clean bathrooms as well.

Well taken care of, really nice drink.

Extremely friendly bar tenders! They clearly enjoy what they do!! Great music and good drinks!!!

Cozy place for couples or groups 2 hang out or to meet new people

Great service and attention to detail! The cocktails are yum yum yum yummy and the staff is so so so so attractive. You cant help but have a good time the moment you walk in!

I really liked the decor and music (hip hop, funk, 80s disco stuff) but I thought the beer was expensive. But then again Im a broke student, so pretty much everything in the west/north seems expensive!

Great cocktails and great atmosphere. Beautiful bar.

Nice dimly lit cocktail bar. Not as fancy as Violet Hour or as dimly lit as The Victor, but still pretty cool.

Great atmosphere. Check out their special cocktails for a tasty treat

Cool place. Not much room to dance but good music choice last time I came here.

Great atmosphere. No cover drink inexpensive.the music was very diverse as well as the crowd. Really great experience

Dope music, and good unique selection of alcohol. Small place but I loved it.

Awesome atmosphere, some ofnthe best bartending Ive seen in my life.

Accommodating waitstaff, awesome music...Good time, everytime

Great vibe, friendly and fun bartenders, tasty drinks

Good spot, but not much to distinguish itself. Its exactly what you would expect. Pros include Good beer selection and live dj. Cons include a completely packed house, long wait at the bar, super dark, and too loud to hold a conversation with someone farther than 3 from your face.

One of my favorite locations in chicago. Cheap beer. Dance floor. I wish they stayed open until 5am

Always a good time when I go here. But usually very busy and may take a while to get a drink from the bar. Plan for a sweaty night due to all the bodies packed in there but fun nevertheless.

Went here late at night on a Saturday. Was pretty crowded in front of bar, takes a while to get a drink. The booths are nice if you can grab one to throw your coats on. Back room has a little dance floor with a DJ. Interesting decor on the walls, and a nice little lounge in the far back with low couches and cool looking fake bookcases. It got very crowded right around midnight. If you dont mind not being able to move around it wasnt so bad. I would go back here, it was overall a nice place to meet people and have a good time.

The Revel Room is a place for all who loves endless adventure. Its like a box of chocolates u never now what u going get!

More than one room, a pleasant surprise for all!

I love this place. I come here whenever I need two drinks. One for each of my heads.

Great playlist

Great little bar, delicious cocktails and lovely staff!

Great place to relax with friends in town on a Sunday night. Classy and comfy.

Great bar and its always has a good crowd

Been going here for years and they never let me down with their great old fashioned.

Nice urban music selection

Fun spot with great fixtures and glassware. Reasonable drink prices and an awesome DJ in the back.

A little too busy for my tastes on the weekends at night. I was there around 5pm on Saturday and it was perfect. $5 for a shot and an old style. Killer deal. Great service.

Goood reccomend

I love the Revel Room. They have a great library in the back - get there at 10pm if you want a seat and listen to the DJ spin. Ronnie is one of my favorite bartenders. Whenever I ask him to make something off menu he asks what your favorite profile is and what youre in the mood for, and he makes the best drinks off the top of his head. This is my favorite bar in Chicago.

Very hipster cocktail bar adjacent to the most quintessential Wicker Park music venue. The large booths in the front beg for a group of friends and the cozy two-seaters in the back are perfect for a date night. They have an interesting selection of house cocktails with some hits and misses, try the Rum Revel. Music is a little loud so dont come sober.

It was the worst experience I had at the revel room and the only one they kicked me out for having a bottle and banned me after I came back without the bottle never go here unless you want to regret your night.

If you can make it past the standing crowd in the front towards the dance floor in the bar, you’re in for a fun night!

Its a typical bar for this area: long and narrow and easily crowded. There was a line to get in on a Saturday night but we didnt wait long, maybe 5 minutes at most. The dj was decent (hip-hop with a mix of other genres) and the drinks were average price. The bartenders werent the friendliest but they are fast. I wouldnt go out of my way to go here, but I would go back if I was in the area and wanted to listen to music and have a drink.

Always a bad sign when the bartender doesn’t know how to make a classic whisky sour... chill spot regardless

Favorite bar in wicker park by far

Crowded, drunks, limited seating. easiest words to describe it.

It was a pretty dope place but the DJ sucked... musically and didn’t seem to want to even be there....when I Tried to ask him a simple question he literally was like “nope. No.” ... I just wanted him to point me in the direction to the bathroom. Rude af.

Great DJing and some good deals. Usually pretty packed. Annoyingly turned away at 1 AM the Saturday night after we went and enjoyed a Friday night out there.

Arguably the best bar in this neighborhood. Great staff and you just can’t go wrong with any beverage choice, whether it be cocktails, beer, or some spirits.

Dont let the decor fool you. This is no dive bar. The cocktails in this place are great, and they do karaoke.

Sunday night soul sessions is the hot spot on Sunday evenings if you enjoy live music and truly talented artists.

This place is nice, music was ok. The beers have a good price

Racist Security guard at front door (Renzo). Was picking and choosing who to let in. I noticed the people in front of me had to wait 20 min while they were picking people from line behind them to get in. While the bar was empty. The DJ would also not play requested songs. As he said his hip hop taste is better and will not be playing trashy music. Drinks were also very watered down. Will not be coming back.

Great, cool bar with surprisingly dope music. Drinks are a bit expensive but that was fine with me because they were tasty. Plus some dancing!

Plenty loud and plenty of drinks for a Saturday night bar hop. When our group arrived this place was Packed and hot! Not really much of any room to dance to socialize too much, people had to keep rotating through the entrance and the bar just to keep things moving along. In terms of service/atmosphere, not much different or better then any other late night party stop.

Too much fun! Seriously this place is really really great

The ultimate fall-back plan. If I ever have a hard time determining where I want to go or need a place for neutral friends. This place gets pretty crowded, but I always have a good time there.

Great drinks good atmosphere. Good dance spot after 10 pm Friday and Saturday but there might be a line!

The decor was nice, but this is not a cocktail lounge by any means. The club music does not fit the atmosphere that is trying to be perceived with the decor. Draft cocktails were too sweet and over priced. The shaken cocktails were not very good. It took me half an hour to get a drink and a long time to close out my tab.

It was a little crowded and a bit pricey but the drinks were good and so was the music. Id recommend getting bottle service and a table if youre going to be there long.

Hipster place with good music and strong aromatic drinks.

Fun karaoke on mondays.

Awesome selection of beers and booze. Great bartenders.

A great place to take a date! Delicious drinks.

They play great music, its get pretty full inside and we had a great time.

Nice chill vibes

Overcrowded, hot inside, music is not great and there was absolutely no room to dance. There is no dance floor. Drinks are mostly beer and impossible to order with the noise level. Will never be going to that place again.

Bartender cut me off after 2 drinks and I was sober as a judge. Neat. One reviewer had it right: the music is the best thing about this place.

Bouncer was overly aggressive at closing and violently assaulted my friend. They are horrible business owners.

Came here on a first date. Left immediately. Not great for conversing or having a conversation with someone.

Nice space...redone from the old empire liquors. Cute cozy booths, dim lights and throw back 60s motown jams. Drinks are affordable and cocktails are classy.

Laid back chill place. Pricey craft cocktails. Good place to take a date for a social drink.

Classy, low-key, upscale bar without any pretentiousness. Decent prices, great drinks.

Great dive atmosphere, dance floor with trendy crowd, and live music. Not a lot of seating.

Best free bar in Chicago right now..

Nice little cocktail bar perfect for a first date or a place to hang your hat and pretend youre Ernest Hemingway writing that novel about love and war.

Really nice staff, always a good time

Service is absolutely terrible here the bartenders are some of the worst Ive ever seen. If you try to order a drink it takes half an hour to get their attention if your a guy. If you ask them a question they have some rude answer saying its on our menu and that restarts your half hour wait time. Terrible service, one of the worst places to be treated.

Great music but could really use more than 1 bar!

Tight dance floor and overall space, but good music and crowd.

Amazing cocktails and service! Good local spot!!!

Fun place to go out to have a good time ,with a vintage look but great DJs and affordable drinks

We had a fundraiser here on a Sunday night and the staff couldnt have been more helpful. Ronnie (the Sunday manager) went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. He even put his own twist on our signature cocktail, which had our guests raving.

Known for mostly hip/ hop and a bit of techno and remixes its not a bad place to come and dance. However, it is a bit small and the drinks are a bit expesive, but definitely worth it becasue they are surely strong. The areas to sit are for reservations only , but even those areas are highly comfortable with a big enough table for 8.

They play good music. Can get kind of crowded though.

The interior atmosphere is somewhat classic and comfortable. Great place for groups and the music is great.

Place was great, good service lots of ppl

Had a great time here. Great DJ venue.

Place sucked! If you're not buying bottle service they will kick you out of the table that you're sitting at. How petty is that!!! Music was the best thing about the place!!!:-(
