Editorial Review for Revolution Rock Bar – by Eric Grossman
In Short
It comes as a surprise that a rock-themed bar would be located in the buttoned-up Financial District. Dimly lit and filled with leather banquettes and concert photos, Revolution stands in stark contrast to the Irish bars and straightforward dives that populate the area. Bottles of beer and designer cocktails share table space with wood-grilled pizzas and other upscale bar food. Live music and DJs keep the crowd moving several nights a week.

I went there on Thursday night. There was a line.... definitely wasn't packed insdie. They just want it to look better than it really is. We waited and waited while the bouncers let their annoying/trashy friends in. PS... the bouncers there think they are gods - Calm down - It's just Revolution Rock Bar on HIgh Street (completely out of place in that location in the financial district). I've been there before and have had fun, but after the last time trying to get in on a Thursday.... I'm all set and will NEVER go back.

The first time I went to this bar was on a Saturday night and we waited 45 minutes with the line barely moving. I went up to the bouncer and asked him if the line was ever going to move or if I was wasting my time and he basically said I would not be getting in anytime soon. I went to a bar around the corner and came back a little more than an hour and got in. Once inside the guys who were standing behind me told me that right after we left the whole entire line got let inside, so basically I was lied to. I tried this bar again last thursday and although there was not a line and we negotiated the door price down from $15 each to $20 for my group of 3 I still did not have a good time here. The music was HORRIBLE. NO ONE was dancing unless they were doing imitations of bad eighties moves just to keep themselves amused. This should have been an indicated to change the music. My friend asked the DJ if he was going to play some hip hop and he said yes but then never did. And the drinks are DEFINITELY watered down. I could taste nothing in my vodka tonic. And then I got a shot of yager which was $10. The prices for the quality were just way too much and the atmosphere is not great at this bar either. There is just no reason why I would ever pay money to go in there again. There are much better places right around the corner.
