Revolver: Sub-Bourbon Social

I’m updating this to, 4 stars because we have been here a few more times and the drinks and food (unusual for a bar) are consistently good.
Now it’s CLOSED? Dang. It’s like when they cancel a TV show you just started to like.

The door man where a$$es, glad to see this place closed down. Service was often bad.
Dang I still have 3 free drink tickets in my wallet… oh well!!! Hahahaha

8:30 pm on a Wednesday night and it was locked up and not a soul inside. Is this place still open?

Went here last night Thursday ¹⁄₂₉. The service was pretty decent, I ordered the fried Chicken sliders with Truffle fries. My food was so Very Yummy! I also had a drink (can’t remember the name of it) but it was good! It had angry orchard beer with Crown Apple in it. My bf ordered the flat bread pizza chicken ranch something or another. I tried it & it was good he also had a margarita. I would Definitely come back here if I’m in the area.

This place is one of my favorite spots to go on the far northside of H Town. It’s clean and open. The indoor area has enough room to stand in a pretty deep group. But the outdoor area is the money spot. This place has a huge patio area good for concerts, giant jenga, hooker, corn hole, or just congregating in a large obnoxious group. They have $ 2 wells and they don’t go light on the good stuff. Tassi was my waitress. She did a bomb job and I’ve always enjoyed my time there. I have yet to try the food, but definitely worth a go for the drinks and the atmosphere.

A group of twelve of us went to Celebrate our friends birthday my friend wasn’t allowed in because of his shirt and shoes. Some of us went in and spoke to our other friends who were already there and they went to their cars and found my friend some clothes. After my friend changed his shoes and shirt he was still denied entrance because his pants were too baggy

My husband and I have been stopping in since the place opened. Initially the service here was pretty horrible, but it’s improved so much our last few visits that I thought I’d leave a review to say so! We reserved a booth for NYE with some friends, and everything was spot-​on (except the DJ who played a lot of club music). Drinks, food, and service were exceptional. I highly recommend the cauliflower and the chicken tacos (if you like spicy). My friend’s boyfriend was obsessed with the chicken fried bacon. The patio is always fun, with Jenga, corn hole and lots of seating and fire pit/​heaters. I’d love to see them book some good classic country/​rock n roll bands and DJs. Then again, maybe they do and we’ve just missed them.

I’m not really a bourbon drinker. But with the wide variety of options Revolver offers, it doesn’t really matter.
The bartenders are always knowledgeable and usually quite friendly.
Pay attention to what the specials are for the day. They have some really killer ones on drinks and food on the weekdays. They do have a full food menu that offers burgers, flatbread pizzas, and other goodies such as deep fried bacon. It was nice, but I wasn’t particularly wowed by it.
There’s also booths as well for those looking for a more restaurant experience, but most patrons gather around the bar and view the sports playing on the various screens.
The outdoor patio is lovely and unique. The modern red furniture, graveled area, and outdoor bar games including Jenga are popular. Some weekend night they have a full live band. I prefer the musician duo they bring on the weekdays. You can actually here yourself talk over the music.

Great local bar known for their chicken fried bacon! The owner is cool, pretty girls work there, good deals on drinks, chiver friendly. A good stop before whiskey river.

Great looking bar. Bad location. Bad service. Horrible owner and even worse management. Don’t waste your time and money. They don’t deserve either.

Pros: GET THE CHICKEN FRIED BACON. Forget your health. We’re all gonna die someday, but this. YOU HAVE to get it. It’s addicting. The sliders are super juicy as well. I recommend that when you want to recover from drinking too much.
Cons: the cocktails and service. Not a massive cocktail menu, so people will tend to order something OUTSIDE of that menu. Bartenders have to be prepared! You can’t just tweak one of your items to fit someone’s different order. I wish they would be more knowledgeable on how flavors work to create personalities and attitude on foods and drinks. The service is actually ok. But the website says Happy Hour everyday 4−8pm, but our server insisted it’s only on Friday (we came on a Thursday). My friends were too drunk to argue and she explained this after she swiped our cards and finalized payments.
Overall, it’s a nice place. Nice location and food. But needs improvement.

We love Revolver!
We tend to go early on weekend evenings, sit at the bar and enjoy some craft cocktails or local beers and some of their delicious food.
The smoking gun cocktail with cucumber, jalapeño, ginger ale and tito’s is my favorite. My hubby loves all the whiskey, bourbon and draft beer options.
We usually start with fried okra, Brussel sprouts or fried cauliflower. All are fresh and perfectly cooked. Then we split the fried chicken sliders with the homemade chips. Outstanding quality.
It’s great to have a place with nice décor, great service, and made to order, fresh and fun food in our area.
They also have TVs for sports at the bar and a nice patio with games.

Two things are going to kill this place. The bartenders getting lazy and the prices going up!
We went to Baker Street Pub and after our «special» $ 7 DOMESTIC, we walked out. That place is becoming one of the most expensive bars in north Houston. So we see Revolver across the parking lot and figure, why not.
The décor and atmosphere are AWESOME. Great job to the design team. The bartender (s) are TOP NOTCH. I wish I could remember his name, but the bigger dude with black hair. Great personality and very fast running the bar by himself. I can’t imagine how bored they would have been with two bartenders! The drink price was perfect for a bar. Cheaper would always be better, but we had no complaints. Only drank the beer so can’t comment on the bourbon this time.
It has been mentioned below, but it needs to be repeated, the chicken fried bacon with gravy is just fantastic. We also had a surprisingly tasty and well made flat bread pizza. All in all the food was better than most of the lazy chain restaurants around the area.
The outside setting is great. Fantastic seating with a great look and vibe. It has the bar staple (these days) of ‘giant jenga’ but they also had the ‘ring game’ which I haven’t seen since college. It is frustratingly fun but I am glad they added it.
The only reason it is not 5 stars is because it’s nothing super special; just a great bar, good prices, awesome staff and nice atmosphere. Good way to spend a night.

I have been here a few times and I absolutely love the lay out and staff. The bartenders are always helpful and pretty cool. I think his name was Dustin he had awesome tips on where to go eat around town and in the city. They have an awesome whiskey menu and I love their stuffed mushrooms.

Love this place! Been here a number of times and it’s always a cool spot when you just wanna get outta the house and to go to a cool spot.
They have a bar staff that is on point and fast about it. It has a full bar and food menu that’s full of goodness.
The dress is casual, yet you’ll see more of a stylish casual dress among the patrons.
They will card you at the door, so be ready.
They have a few outside games to play if that your thing. On the inside on the weekend it offers a live DJ.

Gearhead, a tv show about restoring cars, was holding an event here. Lamborghini’s, corvette stingray and other amazing cars parked outside. Extra lights and a buzz of excitement.
The drinks weren’t that memorable but oh my goodness! I found my most favorite way to serve bacon… Chicken Fried Bacon! Can I get a hallelujah? Is this a common thing? I’ve never had or heard of it before and I haven’t a better way of eating bacon.
Ok, so the bacon is already fried then battered in fried chicken batter then flash fried to a beautiful crispness! Amazing! I’d go there just for that.
I’d like a salad with chicken fried bacon please. That’s right. One cancels the other!

Dropped in Saturday night to check out the spot. They had a nice little crowd going. The music was a pretty good mix. Noticed this will def be a spot to come if you don’t want to be surrounded by I just became LEGALLY able to drink 21 yr olds.
I really liked their décor. The bar set up, patio, down to the bar & waitstaff totally matched the name of the place. Perfect look for a bourbon & whiskey themed hang out.
I didn’t order any food, but both couples sitting on either side of me said their selections were good.
I had one cocktail & it was ok. A little too much ice for my liking, but it wasn’t horrible. Prices on point also. Going to give this place another try soon because it’s def a good wind down spot.

I really wanted to like this place. I felt as if upon entrance I would give Revolver five stars based on drinks and décor/​atmosphere. It’s nearly impossible to find a place in the area with a bourbon/​whiskey selection like this, so major kudos. I’d come back for that alone. Manhattan is on point. The set-​up is pretty cool, like another reviewer said, you feel like you’re in a hip midtown bar. There’s a back patio with nice red lounge seats and giant Jenga. After that, it’s all pretty much downhill…
The food was awful. I mean subpar. I’ll chalk it up to growing pains since the place is new, but it’s kinda hard to mess up a burger, which this place did. Everything on the menu is so mouth wateringly detailed in its description, and once it comes out, you’re sadly disappointed. Their burger that’s said to be served on a sourdough bun was on sweetbread instead. My pulled pork tacos were supposed to come with cilantro, sauce, and cabbage… it came out looking like (excuse the reference) a turd in a tortilla and no cabbage, sauce, jalapeños or anything was on it. Had to send it back and it looked like they just slapped some jar pickled jalapeños and cabbage on top of the turd pork. The «badass» Brussels sprouts were drowned in butter and look like they were popped right out the freezer.
I really want this place to succeed because it’s such a cool thing to have in the NW suburbs, but they gotta step up the food. Basically, I’ll just come here for the drinks and a fun place to chill with friends.

GREAT place to chill. Love the atmosphere. The food was amazing. The service was superb. Our waitress was super awesome. The food was amazing (TRUFFLE FRIES). Bunch of fun activities/​games outside including this crazy addicting hook game. That game will keep you entertained for a while, guaranteed. I am always using Unilocal and checking in. I tried using my 10% tab discount with check in but they wouldn’t let me use it for some reason. which was weird. So I guess that advertisement was useless.
Overall, great chill place. Definitely worth checking out.

I’ll take a Shot at this review now (a Primer), although I need another Round of editing.
The name suggests a gun, but when you enter the Chamber through the large Caliber front glass door, the décor does not emphasize guns at all (no guns? hence, I will use quotes from the movie «Naked Gun»). Instead, «Revolver» refers to neighborhood people coming back (I think).
The ‘classy rustic’ décor works, is relaxing, and the seating is comfortable enough (good Recoil with Mainsprings).
Tonight was too cool to sit outside. To prevent Bluing of the face, I would have needed a Full Metal Jacket in addition to the few heaters they have. But I like the red cushioned circular seating area.
(Frank: «Wilma, I promise you; whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest one minute until he’s behind bars. Now, let’s grab a bite to eat.»)
The anticipated high quality of food is what Draws me to this gastropub, and Triggered me to come here, because MasterChef James Nelson helped them formulate their menu. The picture of the burger on their facebook page was irresistible, although I will make another Round to try the pulled pork. For that, I may use CHL next time (Concealed Hotsauce Little container with Bravado Spice).
(Nurse #2: «Mrs. Nordberg, I think we can save your husband’s arm. Where would you like it sent?»)
The kitchen did not Misfire on my order. The burger and fries were indeed well-​prepared and excellent tasting. You might say my taste buds went Ballistic. They serve enough fries to fill two Clips, and they taste so good you have to be careful not to eat too fast (i.e. Muzzle Velocity).
(Jane: «I wanted you to know, now, I’ve loved you since the first day I met you, and I’ll never stop. I’m a very lucky woman.»
Frank: «So am I… «)
The friendly, helpful staff Aims to please.
The Powder room is nice looking, new and clean. I am not sure I want to Breech this topic, but that have Semi-​automatic flush.
(Ed: «Don’t you worry, Wilma. Your husband is going to be all right. Don’t you worry about anything. Just think positive. Never let a doubt enter your mind.»
Frank: [being blunt] «He’s right, Wilma. But I wouldn’t wait until the last minute to fill out those organ donor cards.»)
This place deserves a healthy dose of regular customers. I think it will last a long time.
(Jane: «Would you like a nightcap?»
Frank: No, thank you, I don’t wear them.»)
Of course, it’s a bar and you can get Loaded and Hammered, so please don’t get Half-​Cocked and Barrel down 249 afterward.
