    Post dinner stop on our trip to Arlington
    Rob M.

    We stopped here after an entire day of eating at various Arlington restaurants, hoping to have a few good beers before calling it a night. Their beer selection (which I check out online) made it seem like a good option and we all were looking forward to having a few pints. Unfortunately, eager anticipation was met with MAJOR disappointment. It wasn't the beer that disappointed us, it was the bartender and her buddies. She was more concerned with talking (yelling might be a more appropriate word) to her obnoxious teacher friend seated at the end of the bar than doing her job. Her female buddy is obviously a regular at this place, and because of her, we left after trying just a few samples. I spent 28 years in education, and I was embarrassed by some of the things I heard coming out of this teacher's mouth (and trust me everyone in the entire place heard her because she was WAY too loud!). If you want customers to spend time at this place, I suggest you hire a bartender who has a personality, pays attention to her customers, and at least acts like she appreciates the business of someone besides just her friends. This place is a tap room, not a bar. Don't be afraid to cut off someone who obviously has already had too many beers. The only reason I gave this place 2 stars is because they did have a decent beer list. A different bartender would possibly take it up to 4 stars.

    This spot tho. My first craft beer stop in this lil corner of Texas. A good number of digital taps but the space is too small when its crowded. Turning point was here my first stop thru here and it was packed out. Good thing turning was giving free beer or I would have left. Found a bar stool after 10 min. Lady next to me told me she needs an extra stool to put her feet on. She was toasted and not making sense. I ignored her. Anyway, staff was friendly. Good rotation and prices for craft beer. No food here and parking was tight the first time I came. One bathroom and I can't imagine that working for long at a beer bar??. I enjoyed. Not the best but its a cool spot. Come see

    While I am not a huge beer drinker, when I do drink I like to have craft beers. If you don't know what to get or just want to get a flight to try a variety. On Tap is the place to go! With over 50 beers on tap, which changes ever so often, each time you go you can find something you love or try something new for sure. The cost of a entire flight is under $10, which gets you 4 beers to choose from. While the size of each flight glass probably equivalent to 1 tall beer glass, if you're looking to get buzzed or drunk, I would probably order one of the regular sized options. Now on to the drinks I've had: Fiesty Blonde - personally the 1st time I've had it I thought it was ok, the second time I got it my fiancé said it tasted like soap...now I can't get that notion out of my head. Queen of the Mist (Passion Fruit) - I loved this one! Some might say it's not a real beer because it wasn't that hoppy, I personally thought it went both ways. I recommend this for sure. Dynamo - was another sweet type of beer. Yes I love my sugary drinks. This was also very good. C.R.E.A.M - this dark beer was a coffee type of beer. I love coffee so I had to try. It was okay but if you really want a better coffee type beer get the... Sticky Nuts - this milk stout with hazelnut and coffee was excellent!! I could go on-and-on but one advice I could give is take some risk and choose blindly. Read a few reviews but honestly you'll see all the options you'll give up reading. My advice...just get want you think looks cool! Note: there is no food here. They do have to-go menus available for the many restaurants around. Also parking is plentiful in the parking lot or street adjacent to the building..free.

    Absolutely excellent spot. This was my first time here and I was thoroughly impressed. They have 50 beers on tap and they're all quality brews. The staff let me and my group sample anything we wanted, which was awesome. The bartender was beyond helpful and accommodating. Walked out with a crowler and I know for sure that I'll be back. Huge fan of this spot. Definitely recommend!

    Small seating area outside, 8 tables inside and 4 bar stools up front. 50 different beer taps with local and national choices. Growlers and crowlers available for sale or bring your own to fill with your favorite. 2 televisions on with no sound and music playing quietly. A few snacks available but 3 restaurants near by. There's a shelf of board games to play near the door.

    We love this little craft beer tap room downtown. It's in a great location to bar hop, and every time we've come in the afternoon it's been quiet and low key. (The tap room is a bit small, so I'm not sure how it would be on a busy Friday or Saturday evening, but we've never had any issues with having great service during the afternoons.) They've got tons of beers on tap, and something for everyone, although they tend to lean heavy towards certain types of beers (at least in my experience). You can also get smaller pours if you want to try more than one. On Tap and Kool Keg are both 5 star experiences in my book in terms of beer, and are very similar in terms of what they offer, however Kool Keg has a slightly different crowd. And of course, if you want to hop around each one offers a slightly different experience of places near by. My suggestion: try them both and see which one you prefer! :)

    Wow!! Craft Beer Lovers this place has amazing flavors. We had #32 Martin House Pina Cola a: coconut & pineapple cream ale.I have to say we each got more pablano peppery flavor. Didn't taste the coconut or pineapple. # 14 903 Down with the Pastryarchy Vol. 3: probably most refreshing craft beer we have ever had. The flavor is amazing and the angels lace, we'll should I say more? No. #29 Brooklyn Black Ops (2018) Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout Great Flavor rich and creamy . #28 903 Stout with the Pastryarchy: Pastry Stout with Oreo Cookies yummy super good and really different. So many more choices!! Come try

    This place is so awesome! They have a huge variety of drinks on tap. I went here on a Saturday night and it wasn't crowded so that was a plus. They do flights of four 5oz drinks AND to top it off THEY ARE SUPER AFFORDABLE. Most of the 5oz are $2-3. I think my flight altogether was like $9. This place is definitely the place to go for a chill night in or even a date night. They also have board games that you can play. The only thing is that the music is off-putting.... I didn't know any of the songs that were playing so I think the music selection can be improved especially since this is around a college town, maybe play more top hits and throwbacks. Music creates the ambiance and will get people to stay and drink longer (in my opinion). But definitely will be back here many more times!

    Great variety of beers. They have added a couple of wines as well to ensure they have something for everyone.

    I remember when I heard they were building Texas Live, and how Revolver was supposed to have a mini…read morebrewery and taproom here. Then as things were nearing completion, I remember seeing a couple of employees somewhere and asking about it, and they said that it would be in "phase two". Then sometime later, I remember a construction guy telling me, "there ain't no phase two, what you see with Texas Live is what you got, there isn't going to be any expansion". I could never find anything out. Then about six months or so, someone who works there told me it was being built in the corner, and would be open soon. I figured I'd believe it when I saw it, and now it's here. It's a nice space, with a separate entrance. Really went upscale more than you would see in most taprooms. I think only the Choctaw Lounge is nicer, and you can't hardly get into that place. The bar top is almost as long as the room, lots of stools. A good amount of pub type tables, and a larger community table, along with some low height chairs and tables. All pretty nice furniture. Couple of roll up doors open into the patio during nicer weather. My couple visits, I've seen several beers that I've never seen on tap anywhere else. Revolver is supposed to be doing several beers for this location only. Lot's of different beers, and this is probably the only place you'll see with this many of their beers on tap at any given time. I've done the brewery events in Granbury and they usually have maybe 6-8 beers on tap. I'm seeing 10-15 different beers on tap here. You can also get food in here, most of it items from Lockhart BBQ. But there are a couple things unique to the taproom, including the chili. The chili is pretty good, but the jalapeno cornbread is fantastic. Anyway, really nice, great place to hang out. Plenty of TV's and usually some decent music in the background. Prices are higher, which is expected because of the location, but I've paid about $7-$10 for different beers. Looking forward to more special beers. Too bad all the beer snobs hate Revolver, some good new stuff in here.

    We met here with friends recently, and all agreed this is much needed addition to the Texas Live!…read morefamily. Revolver Brewing BLDG5 Brewery and Tap Room is tucked away near the Miller Tavern and Beer Garden. It offers a much needed lounge area with comfortable seating, a warm atmosphere, and an insteresting list of beers. Ask about their pickled eggs, pickled sausage, and smoked meats/jerky @ the bar!
