Came to see the first 2024 presidential debate. They were sponsoring an official watch party. The crowd was really having fun. My candidate did exceptionally well! Had a drink and it was good plus it was only $7. Typical WeHo service lol. Whatever. The bar looks pretty cool. The building facade is really nice. Meter parking available. There’s a nearby parking lot on Larabee. I only paid $10.

Normally love coming to revolver, but your Australian bartender charges $10 for two of the world’s smallest Diet Cokes during happy hour then charges you for a refill? From a soda gun?? During Dry January?? Then cops a nasty attitude when you ask why… absolutely ludicrous.

If I could give less than one star, I would their security guard physically laid hands on me when I was literally just upset because he was blocking me from going into the bar- yet he let my entire friend group in, and he asked for my ID. I showed it to him, no problem. The manager said he felt I was too drunk - that’s fine but tell me that, use your words but instead he like literally chokehold grabbed me and tried to throw me into the ground. Your team needs to understand de-escalation techniques or they shouldn’t let him be there and if I don’t hear back from you guys about disciplinary action towards the individual, I will sue you for assault.

So I have mixed feelings about this place. It’s usually our first stop on a night out. Good vibe but watch out for pick pocketers!!! My phones been stolen right out of my pocket at the urinal and I know 2 others who had their phone stolen at this place. Keep an eye on your sh*t! Also tonight in particular the bathrooms smell rancid! Yuck

Back in the early eighties revolver was one of the first video bars I've ever been to. It's a legend and one of the gay hot spots you need to visit if you're in Los Angeles. The pictures are from Bros for Hillary party on the night that Hillary made her speech at the Democratic National Convention. Great looking guys at this bar hand ateres where you can watch guys walking by coming home from the gym. You have to come the revolver if you visit Los Angeles.
