4.0.0

Revel Room is one of the few places in Gastown with quality live music, around 5 nights per week. Location is right in the heart of the district at Abbott and Cordova. The space is small, with room for maybe 60 customers, so get there…early if you want a good seat to see the band! The food is tasty, I had the “happy hour prawns”, which were excellent. The music is bluesy, jazzy and soulful and of a high quality. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

This happened in the last week of April.
1.0.0

This happened in the last week of April. I called in the morning to make a 9.30pm reservation for a large group of my friends on the occasion of my birthday. I got a call back from the Revel room confirming my reservation. I arrive…at the Revel room 5 mins ahead of time and I’m informed by the waitress on duty that they don’t have a record of my reservation. I mentioned that Revel room specifically called me back to confirm the reservation… And I had 8 people already on the way there! She apologized and mentioned that the staff in the morning might have messed up, and she couldn’t accommodate the full group. It was entirely their fault and it derailed my plans for that evening. What happened was absolutely unacceptable, and out of principle I will never be going there ever again.

My husband and I love the Revel Room.
4.0.0

My husband and I love the Revel Room. The staff is terrific, the food is good, good drinks and great music. There is live music just about every night, and the rockabilly group on Wednesday night is so much fun. It’s fairly small but the…vibe is great.

We'd walk past this place many times and kept meaning to come in.
5.0.0

We’d walk past this place many times and kept meaning to come in. Finally set up a reservation for a birthday, and it did not disappoint. The pork belly is incredible and if you’re ok with the meat sweats and needing to go to bed…soon, get the platter. The band was incredible and I can’t wait to bring back our out of town guests.

I booked a reservation at the Revel Room so we could take in some live music (jazz) while in Vancouver.

I booked a reservation at the Revel Room so we could take in some live music (jazz) while in Vancouver. And it was only a few blocks from where we were staying. The ambiance is very fun, old black and white movies playing on the…wall, funky decor. Great cocktail list (I loved the Sunny Side of the Street!). I requested a room upstairs and am glad I did. The trio of musicians there that night played traditional New Orleans style jazz and with a trumpet and a sax, it was plenty loud from the second floor where we still had an excellent view. Our server, Joe, was very pleasant, friendly, and attentive. We liked both our meals — the steak frites and the fried chicken, the latter was a bit better, but the steak was well seasoned. Only a couple of hiccups, I had ordered a salad as a starter, but it was delivered at the same time as my husband’s fried chicken, by another server. I asked if my steak was ready, because in that case I wouldn’t want the salad (the steak frites would get cold while I was eating the salad, or I would have to finish the salad, which is not a great ending to a meal). He said it was and took the salad away. But then he came back right away and said that my steak actually isn’t quite ready, the salad would be on the house, and did I still want it? Though I appreciated them comping the salad, I did find it strange that both entrees weren’t ready at the same time. Once I did get my steak frites, our server apologized for the mix up. Of course, these things happen and the customer service in how you address the issue is where you shine, and Revel Room did.

The Revel Room is a Vancouver legend.
5.0.0

The Revel Room is a Vancouver legend. Its an intimate space in the centre of Gastown with live jazz every night starting at 7:30 pm (closed Monday). The menu is pure Lousiana and offers something for all palettes. The drinks menu is very inventive and…sent right from Heaven – thanks to super-barman Adam who will create a special just for you. You also dont need to be silent while the music is playing. Its best to book.

A small venue with a classic feel but it leaves a big impression!
5.0.0

A small venue with a classic feel but it leaves a big impression! The staff were super friendly and helpful! The music was incredible. From the lone piano player to his saxophone accompaniment, every song has your foot tapping! Finally the food is superb. We…had the Seafood risotto, which was creamy and very tasty and the Chicken Mornay Pie, this one surprised me as it a was far better than I thought it would be. We were very satisfied with both the quality of the meal and the portion sizes. The desert! We shared the Apple Crumble, which I can say with 100% certainty the best ive ever have ever had at any restaurant. Even though it’s not a desert I had to try the corn bread as well. Their Corn bread is made fresh daily and it too was amazing. This one so far ranks the highest on the “must try” list. Make a reservation though as it is frequently pre booked. We did not have a reservation so we had to sit at the Bar but this did not ruin our evening at all. Even at the bar we still enjoyed the experience.

My wife and I were looking to get out of the burbs and listen to some live music in the downtown core, so we took a chance on the Revel Room. Our expectations were certainly exceeded as the atmosphere, crowd and music was energetic and…entertaining. The food was very good, however not the star of the show. The drinks and staff also made the evening memorable. We will be back!More
