Love coming here on Friday and Saturday night. They play great music. Also love how the bathroom has the TVs in front of the urinals

I went on a Sunday night. The dancefloor was nice and spacious. Staff were ok though did not look that thrilled we were there. There was this disrespectful drag queen who was talking to the bartender that was staring at me (short blonde hair and Hispanic looking w/ a red dress on). She looked at me up and down then rolled her eyes at me when I greeted her. The bald guy who works there seemed to have a staring problem too. This was on 8/18/2026 at around 1:30 AM. The DJs were alright but when we made eye contact, they'd turn away too. To make matters worse, random spoiled brats from outside would go inside and get water without asking or talking to any of the staff and it seemed that the staff know about it. It's alright though. I still had a good time since my friends were there with me. read more

WAY overpriced for a shot. Yes, shots are expensive/generally a rip off, but $18 for a 1 oz shot that was 1/3 Kahlua, 1/3 Baileys and 1/3 Grand Marnier...come on. Buyer beware (of paying an unreasonable amount). I suggest ordering a spirit + soda (vodka soda, Jack + diet Coke, etc.) At least the dancers looked good read more

In my opinion, Revolver Video Bar is a highly underrated spot on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood. I've been here a couple of times over the past few months and have had only positive experiences. While definitely on the smaller side, the ambiance is nice and intimate. The music is always top notch. Featuring great drink specials, an outdoor patio, and even a beer pong table, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

Revolver Video Bar - $3 PBR - special of the day - Gay Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Great staff, great drinks, hot gogo boys. You can't go wrong with Revolver. Bartender Manny is the best!

literally love this place BUT got charged 40 bucks for straight up sugar water shots and the bartender got hella sassy talking about ITS TEQUILA when i asked what kind. booooo read more

Charging $20 for two rounds of diet sodas from a soda gun during happy hour is such a scam, even after trying to explain to the incredibly rude Australian bartender that you and your partner are currently sober. This place went downhill. read more

Bad experience coming to this place two weeks ago when my sis was visiting from mexico,, we were i. The line ready to go in after we show our ID to the white security man and suddenly the hispanic security call us you guys out of the line pls, i ask him is there any problem and he says, you guys are not going in.. i ask him why and he says just because i say so what an ass.. i loved the place for many years, but not anymore... poor guy hes life must be so miserable.. read more

I had an issue regarding 2 female attendants at the restroom being quite rude and aggressive, even saying a homophobic slur behind my back in Spanish when asking if I could look for something I dropped around the bathroom area. I also had an issue with a drink we Chad purchased. I did speak with Rich, the owner of the establishment, and he was understanding and apologized for the situation. I like how Revolver does take its patrons seriously, and how it offers solutions when a problem arises. I've also had help in previous visits from the bartender themselves when I had dropped some glasses and they handled it very quickly and professionally despite there being a lot of people and noise. Overall great customer service. read more

Revolver is a decent bar (the second incarnation of the original), good drinks, decent music, hot go-gos. But my 2 star rating is for not accepting CASH. WTF with not accepting CASH. I'll go elsewhere where cash is accepted. read more

Horrible bartenders in all of West Hollywood!! Sooooo rude and no customer service skills what so ever! I asked for a vodka soda and instead I got a tequila soda. The moment I corrected the bartender that gave me a tequila soda he told me to "shut the fuck up and get out of his bar" . Mind you I never saw this bartender ever before in my life. I been coming to revolver since day one of its opening. So if anything he's the new guy in the block. This bar has always been my go to spot but after the pandemic these bartenders are rude as fuck!!! I hope management see this and a little word of advice don't hire people that can't take the heat of a busy bar otherwise your just loosing loyal customers. I heard flaming saddles bought this bar! I hope they did and they fire everyone and start from fresh. It's not like those bartenders wanna be there anyway. Also , I read a comment about that one female bartender saying how horrible she was. Let me tell you she slammed the lime case protector on my hand after grabbing a lime. Then she told me "ask" which I did 5 times , after the 6th time I grabbed on my own not my fault she couldn't here me. She's lucky I didn't press charges of assault on her. Always problems with the bartenders . I can't wait for flamming saddles and "hopefully" their new staff. read more

Fun place! Drinks are decent and bartenders are cool. Watch out for pickpockets, as they frequent this place and the entire area. My phone was stolen right out of my pocket without me even noticing. My friend had the exact same thing happen here. read more

Cocky bartenders . It's card only no cash because of Covid but cram more than 100 people in there lmao.

I don't know who the owner of this place is but they are about to have a major law suit on their hands. I am filing legal action against based on discrimination towards me. I have a disease called "En Coup De Sabre" which manifests as a indentation and discoloration of the forehead. This is a rare disease that is very noticeable. Attached pictures of my forehead. The bouncer stopped me and shined a flashlight on my forehead after checking my ID and asked me what is on my forehead. I said I have a disease, then he is like "what is the disease called" and at this point I was pissed and asked for his name and told him that it's none of his business nor should I discuss my medical condition with him as it does not pertain to me going into a bar. He stopped me further and wouldn't let me in, and refused to give me his name. I pushed my way into the revolving door and he was trying to push the door the opposite way so I would not get in, and I was strong enough to overpower him to get inside the bar. He then chased me around the bar telling me I have to leave and I asked to speak to the manager. The manager "Dave" told me that his name is "John" and that he was just doing his job and that I need to cool off and stop being angry. I asked for an apology that I did not get and they wouldn't still let me stay at the bar and threatened to call the police for anything that I had not done. His reasoning was to make sure he doesn't let anyone in the bar who was drunk and had stumbled into the ground and hurt himself and cause liability for the bar. Attached is a picture of my face and my disease. You tell me after flashing a damn flashlight and seeing the instant skin and the discoloration of my forehead you still think that I fell to the ground and I was drunk and that is why It warrants you to be a compete ASSHOLE? The manager and security need to be fired. Well they will be fired after the owner received my discrimination law suit that will be filing very shortly. I was completely sober, not belligerent or trying To cause a scene. I was simply trying to go meet mh friends in the bar where I was harassed and discriminated for no reason. Shame on management for employing such animals with no sense of decency or customer service from the management.... instead of apologizing and offering a drink to keep me calm they kicked me out. Well guess what HUGE MISTAKE. read more

Beware! RUDEST BARTENDERS in all of West Hollywood! Starting with the good, I have visited Revolver frequently throughout the years and have noticed a slow decline in the upbeat, lively energy that initially attracted me. Recently, the last 4 out of 5 visits have been horrible. Four different bartenders on four other dates have given me the worst attitudes I have experienced in West Hollywood. What's worst than a bad day at work and deciding to have a martini at one of your favorite bars? An arrogant bartender argues with you saying your favorite drink, a lemon drop martini with Tanqueray, is "NOT a martini, and you don't know what you're talking about." Another time I visited, a bartender asked for my order, and I, like always, greeted them with a smile and asked, "Hi, how are ya?". Many bartenders at other establishments in the past have smiled back and said, "I'm ___; thank you for asking; you're the first person to ask me how I am doing today"! No, this bartender responds, "Hurry up! You're wasting my time! What do you want"? The first time I noticed the decline was earlier this year when a few bartenders were chatting behind the bar, seeing me with my card in hand, whispering to each other, and blatantly ignoring me. After about 10 minutes of me patiently waiting, one of them rolls his eyes, huffs, and annoyingly says, "yes?!" as if I am bothering them for my first drink of the evening... It saddens me to see this once great bar fall short of such terrible customer service / nasty bartender attitudes, and I, unfortunately, will never come back. I never leave Revolver feeling great and lively like I used to in the past. In the last 4 out of 5 experiences, I had left that bar feeling worse than when I walked in. read more

I've been coming to this bar for over 7 years, however, I came tonight after a 3 month hiatus and the Latino security guy decides to pull some racist shit tonight 06/08/2023. He allowed the two white dudes in front of my friend and I to walk right in without hesitation.. but as soon as I came along he stops my friend and mfor ID. When I asked him why he did not ask for the two first guys ID cards, he said "because you guys look younger and that's a compliment" .... when in reality I have a full beard and so does my friend while the two white dudes In front of us looked at most 19. I told the guy he doesn't have to be racist and should treat everyone the same and he just ignored me. I've been coming to this bar for over 7 years; and it may have been my final time. Do better. read more

Fun bar, good drinks and very good service. This place has been around but feels new. Great Patio. Good music. Extra streetside/ non covid patio. Thankfully they check for vaccinations. Drinks are pretty good depending on the bartender. Parking on the street. read more

Came here back on April 15th. I was one of the many people that got their phone stolen. Called the place to inquire about their lost & found and nobody answers. Typical. The last location that FindMyIPhone detected was in a place a block away where I never was at the night it got stolen. Go elsewhere. This place is packed shoulder to shoulder which makes it easy for thugs to pickpocket you especially while you're drinking, so beware. read more

The bar tenders last night really gave me a hard time because I didn't tip! I've never in my life seen an employee press a customer for not tipping when i was barely on my third drink I was still gonna buy more. I didn't because that really ruined my night. read more

Been here a few times this past year and this the second time my friends and I get terrible service from the bartender. Different week. Same shitty attitudes. Used to like this place. Now I'll be skipping. Managerment needed a meeting on greeting customers and managing under heavy crowds. Very unpleasant and unwelcoming. . Blah read more

After reading all the reviews, it appears that several other people have had issues with the security at the door not allowing people into the bar for various reasons. This place should really invest in a ID card verification reader or replace some of the staff who are on a power trip. My friend was denied entry because they didn't believe his ID was real. The security actually told him it was fake. It was an AZ driver's license, so how would he know it was real? We had been to 2 bars prior to coming here and had no issues. After refusing to let him in, we called a manager out who was basically useless and said "well I trust their judgement because they are out here more than me." My friend even returned with a picture of his passport, further verifying his age, and still wasn't allowed in. There are so many other bars in the area, so I would suggest going there instead. read more

The times I've gone, extremely sloshed, irresponsible and belligerent packed crowds with loads of thieves all over. No authentic security. This establishment also appears to practice unjust rules and policies in my opinion. Stay away from these types of patrons and establishments. Could end up costly. Choices. read more

It pains me to write this. Revolver used to be my favorite bar. It's gone downhill since its post-lockdown reopening. The bar used to have a couple courteous and good bartenders. Those days are gone. A few nights ago, I pointed out that the Coke was off in my Bicardi Coke. In other words, there's something wrong with the syrup or carbonation. Coke is a popular mixer; you'll be serving it all night. Fix it. The aloof bartender replied, "It's the only Coke I have." Fixing the problem doesn't require NASA's intervention. I returned the following night and got another undrinkable (super sweet, under-carbonated) Bicardi Coke. (Maybe they're using a knock-off brand.) I went to a different bartender on night 2. We were slack-jawed at how rude and inattentive this guy was. I'm normally great at finding at least one solid bartender at my usual haunts. I'll stick with them and go out of my way to avoid people who aren't great at their jobs. I have no options at Revolver. None of the great people returned after it reopened. IMO, this is reflected in the bar's devolved crowd. Revolver doesn't pull in its quality pre-pandemic clientele. My guess is that service has played a hand in this change. My second issue is that management has inexplicably shut down the back room since the bar reopened. This change is counter-intuitive in the midst of a global pandemic. The front (and now only room) is totally over-packed, making it difficult to get cocktails. The dancing crowd currently bleeds over in the lines of people waiting for drinks. Why would you want to make the space MORE compact during a pandemic? Opening the back room would help ease Revolver's congestion problems. One improvement I've noticed is security. Oh, and David is fantastic. More people with David's energy, please. If I'm with 3 other people and we all stand slack-jawed at a bartender's aloofness, there's an issue. Two undrinkable Bicardi Cokes on two consecutive nights= problem. How hard is it to produce a drink as basic as a Bicardi Coke? All of these problems are solvable. Let's hope they get solved. read more

This place is LIT!! The gogo boys are HOTTT! The place is jam packed and the music is on point. I like that each night I went it was a diverse crowd. All around just a nice place top pop in, dance and have a good time. read more

Pretty active place. Lots of people during the week nights and weekends. Also pretty active during Sunday Fun Day. Music seemed to be played every second of the bar hour. Feels a very more upbeat and modern crowd. Primarily modern wear that people seem to dress into. Drinks are at a reasonable price. read more

Currently at the bar. Love the Sunday Fun day. But what is it with the smell lately. Seriously like a sewer. This bar needs a good douching. Please fix it. Thanks Boo read more

Did not know Monday night bar hopping is usually Musical monday. Woops. Well、it wasn't a busy night but regardless、 the bartenders can care less. They weren't the friendliest and I was ignored for a while before being noticed. Basically got my drink asap and they took my money asap. I unfortunately noticed it later on but the gave the wrong change as well. It's dark and they're rushing to do everything but make sure you double check your money. They handed it to me all folded and walked away pretty fast so I didn't pay attention until last minute. Read a few reviews about this problem so be careful! The drag show was pretty nice to watch but my friends and I chose the wrong day to wanting to go clubbing at WeHo. No bouncer problem for us that night though. Overall、 cool interior with shows as well. Really nicely decorated. Feel free to check them out but as usual、drink responsibly and make sure to double check the change you receive!! read more

My phone was stolen here tonight. Terribly crowded. I told security that someone stole my phone out of my purse and they did nothing about it. They could've searched bags, nothing was done to be helped. my friends couldn't get a drink at the bar for 30 mins. Not to mention -I wasn't drinking. Be weary of this place, extremely sketchy!!! read more

Revolver Video Bar - Gay Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Revolver is always a fun time, but it does get extremely crowded here on weekends since it's not super large so that may not be everyone's cup of tea. However, the music is usually on point (and they play music videos on screens throughout the bar as well, like many other WeHo establishments) and the dancers are hot! Plus, the drunker you are here, the less the crowded factor matters anyway read more

What can you really say about a gay bar in weho...You'll often get the same thing everywhere you go. It's small compared to some of the other bars in the area. Drink prices are comparable to most bars. I think that they shouldn't allow smoking in the patio area because it's so small. One smoker there means everyone else in the patio will be inhaling it all in too. It's gross that people don't see an issue with smoke blowing into others faces. It's okay if you want to die, have bad breath, and ugly teeth....just don't make us suffer too. 3 stars for the ratchet queen blowing smoke in my face. Oh, and the dirty bathrooms. read more

Bathroom situation is a nightmare. Long lines. Ever time I go to this bar, which isn't often, a urinal is broken or a full bathroom is closed again! Can't you afford to fix your shit? read more

Finally stopped by this place the day before the 4th of July. It was crowded, and I hadn't stepped foot in this place in quite a while. First of all, it's a video bar, and one would expect good quality video. I'm not talking about the content; that's another issue. But the video being displayed was of such of poor quality that it barely was of better quality than the videos that were displayed during the first iteration of Revolver. Grainy video in the era of HD is perplexing. It looked like they were streaming video from an Apple laptop. Second of all, I'm not convinced that my drink was what I ordered. I ordered a mixed drink, and the waitress (who was nice) asked if I wanted to up the vodka to Absolut. I agreed, had two of them and ended up with a pretty nasty hangover the next day. I'm no lightweight. (References available upon request.) And finally, yeah, I'm a bleeding heart liberal, and the Second Amendment isn't my favorite one. In fact, it's not even in my Top Ten. But their Friday promotion is Big Gun Fridays, and on the Friday of the Aurora, CO shootings, they continued to keep this promotion and post pics and videos of guns on their Facebook site. That's pretty heartless. The least they could have done was suspend that promotion for one Friday. It's just gross. read more

Revolver Video Bar - The owner of Revolver pissed off everyone so much at his last business the new owners needed to do this. - Gay Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

The music here is awesome. And I'm not just saying that because I watched nothing but MTV between 1983 and 1990! Oingo Boingo, Rick Springfield, Human League, Def Leppard, Eddie Money, Cece Peniston, Bananarama, Expose, Gloria Estefan, Jermaine Stewart, Men Without Hats, Madonna, The Cure, Erasure......just some of the awesome artists they spun on the video machine. The only way this could've been better is if they played "We Built This City" by Starship. The crowd was also fun. Friendly, talkative, not too cliquey....this would be my go-to spot in LA if I lived here, which thankfully I don't. Bartenders were nice, drinks were reasonable. I don't know why you'd go anywhere else. read more

I fucking love this place one of the few remaining truly gay bars in the area. I always have a good time here Mustafa friendly and the drinks are generously poured x Saturday afternoons are great fun I always make a point of going here with my friends and have yet to have had a bad tongue the one blazing good point In this place is a bartender call BRANDON Who is always friendly and engaging and also happens to be one of the sexiest fucking men I have ever seen in my life I freely admit I go there sometimes just to drool over him. Lol read more

Worse than one star. Came in at happy hour. Didn't order off the happy hour menu and still got watered down drinks. So went back and asked to pay for another shot of vodka to be added and still had to pay as if I got the whole drink and not just a shot added to the original drink. And the bitch was rude Management rusty. Just came and bought us all drinks read more

Revolver Video Bar - This is the management with Eddie - Gay Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I came here last night for a friend's birthday. I had an absolute blast! The bartenders were nice and the drinks were amazing! I give this place 4 stars instead of 5 only because they need to expand and make this place bigger! It was packed and we could barely move. All in all, the overall energy was just fun! If you are hitting Weho for a night of fun and adventures with friends, start here and work your way down! You will have a blast. P.S. Make sure you are sober enough to get in and out of the door....It's a revolving door. ;) I hope this review helps! :) read more

My phone got stolen as well out of my purse. The security guard was pretty nice and said they try not to let the thieves in.

Smells like mildew or mold. Not at all a pleasant smell to walk into. Hopefully they fix that soon. But when you walk in it's literally instant. read more
