Revolution Wood Street

Swish, smart and squarely on the Ropewalks drinking circuit, Revolution is a day-glo drinking and eating venue, with a backbar glistening with a myriad array of fruity vodkas, gins, malts and rums.

Competent cooking (fusion east/west dishes, pizzas, sharing plates and juicy steaks) elevates Revolution from other chains, as does its sharp customer service. Come the weekend, its bars (above and below ground) throb to dance anthems, hip hop, and indie.

Youngish, dressy crowd, knocking back cocktails and generally screeching to be heard.
