Revel Bar

"Friends were at Topper's eating something called pizza, and I couldn't handle their lack of culinary discretion, so I stopped in at Revel next door. I celebrate Milwaukee's diversity. Revel was evidently popular with Milwaukee's African-American population. The bar brought back memories of my high school days in NYC, and I loved the music. While he asked for my identification, the bouncer joked with me, saw I was more than five decades over the drinking age, and told me to put the ID away, and he helped me order a drink. Everyone was warm, and several people even complimented me on my fedora. I only had one drink because my friends were afraid to come in. That's Milwaukee's problem. Fear prevents us from getting along. I accept and appreciate diversity, color, and ethnic heritage. That's America, people. We are all different. Enjoy the mosaic."

"Best bar in Milwaukee! From the Owner to the GM to the staff, they are all loving and caring. Always a great time and I feel safe here!"

"The DJ was amazing, so was his vibe. The bartender’s was also great… BUT the “bouncers” … unacceptable. As a woman, who spent over $100 dollars… the way they rushed me into leaving while using their bathroom facilities… completely unacceptable and disgusting. I Would NEVER patronize their bar again. And I recommend that no one else does. If you’re going to spend your hard earned money to patronize someone’s bar… the least they can do is let you use the bathroom."

"Best happy hour I've been to in a while. 50% off the check. They also had some good music."
