Nightclub

Located above the renown music store, the Revolver is a popular bar and music spot in the day and in the night. The Low-hanging lampshades throw red light across the Warhol-esque wallpaper which gives this a funky and vibrant ambiance. The far end a small kitchen serves reasonably priced Thai food. The cages which appear throughout the bar gives this bar an edgy feel.

Pay high price to get in, pay high price for drinks, for what is a very cheap looking place. Vibe inside is ok, but we sat down on the couch and it completely snapped (we're under average weight). Staff had bad attitude.
Best to go on sunday mornings.

Revolver suits a turn-up-for-dinner-and-leave-at-breakfast sort of evening's entertainment.

It's not uncommon for certain venues to become institutions and in the case of Prahran's Revolver, institution status was granted, in rough historical terms, just after the invention of the wheel. The sprawling venue at the top of a precipitous staircase (which, incidentally, should by rights be anaethema to - ahem - festive patrons, but seems instead to draw them upwards like lemmings in reverse) attracts a love/hate relationship with many punters, which likely has more to do with self-hate once said punters find themselves sinking into a couch at 5am rather than any wrongdoing on the part of the bar. Split between the band room, back bar, and Thai restaurant, Revolver is one of those venues that very much suits a turn-up-for-dinner-and-leave-at-breakfast sort of evening's entertainment. The venue has had its fair share of revamps and the walls have shag-pile carpet feature hangings, alongside stencil art, Obey posters and other retro/daggy-chic odds and sods. A forest of ...
