Revolver, also known as Revolver Upstairs, is a trendy Lounge/Bar – Nightclub is situated above the renowned music store, and is always bustling with people throughout the day and night. The front half of the Bar opens only at nights, if there is a live act to be performed. Crowds swing to the hip shaking local and international hits played by the DJs both from here and out the back. Those not to keen to hit the dance floor can relax at the back, where there is a large, hall-like room with rows of recycled couches to sink in while sipping your favorite drink. The USP of this place is its retro entertainment that extends to include a brown felt pool table as well.
Those who have visited Revolver, swear by its Six Million Dollar Man Pinball Machine-the piece de resistance. The mood lighting done by the low-hanging lampshades, which throw red light across the Warhol-esque wallpaper, adds to the ambience of the place. At the far end of the hall is a small kitchen that serves reasonably priced Thai food, a favorite of many bar patrons.
One often wonders that for a relaxed, friendly place such as this, there is not much for Revolver's management to be concerned about. The place charges a cover charge for most nights, collected by the cashier sitting in a cage at the entrance of the bar. The cloakroom and the spirit and wine racks rising high above the bar are also placed in giant cages. The main reason for the pull that Revolver exudes over the party crowds in Melbourne is, its enviable repertoire of alternative music, techno and performance art, all carried out in a casual ambience as opposed to the uptight setting of some other sophisticated bars in the city. Here, you can simply lounge around, sipping your cocktail in the open space with a buzz. Try a round of pool, hit the dance floor or mingle amongst the streetwise crowd. The first floor mixes 70s New York with Melbourne's alternative style. Special Attractions at Revolver Bar, Melbourne: - Cocktails
