Advantages: Nice surroundings, quality drinks Disadvantages: Hard to get served, full of posers, doorstaff a bit over the top
First things first - this bar looks superb. Set in an old bank building on Collingwood Street about 50 yards from Newcastle Central Station, it's all ornate stonework on the outside and super-high ceilings and pillars within. If you visit during the day when it isn't busy, you'll have a chance to see the layout of the place - there's a lot of wood fittings, leather sofas and little cosy booths, plus acres of standing room for when it gets busy later ... ...Just because the place looks good doesn't mean that it actually is any good - it's not, not by a long chalk. Frequented by the sort of fool that usually has three hairstyles on one head (you know what I mean - is it a mullet? A side parting? A Billy Ray Cyrus?), it plays the sort of music that nobody likes or has usually even heard before; ultra-obscure urban type beats and the likes. The DJ is evidently more interested in playing this stuff to appear ...

...last time I went to Revolution (or Revo, if you'd prefer) was Saturday. The last time I went to Revolution and it wasn't packed was, wait, hang on, NEVER.
This bar, situated in Lancaster (but one of a chain you'll find across the country, including Manchester), is an alternative to a pounding club, or a silent grandad pub (which I personally prefer... Hey, who says you can't have a penchant for the old folk?). Because it's in this middle bracket, ... ...That's the problem. They're so damn popular that if you don't have a substantial cleavage (to attract the male bar staff- hey, I'll perpetuate the stereotype if the stereotype stands), a loud booming voice (to attract anyone's attention for thirty miles), or a large wad of cash that you're willing to flail about wildly, you're likely to stand there all night. Lemon, anyone?
Having commented that there's no 'average Revo visitor', it's mostly student-orientated, ...

Advantages: Central Location, Classy, non-exclusive Disadvantages: Can be hard to get served!
...My first experience of Revolution was about a month ago when I went out for a friends birthday. We had had a meal and been to a couple of bars but then wanted somewhere that stayed open late but wasn't a sweaty dark nightclub..... thats where Revolution came in..
Its open all day for food and drinks but the best part about is it shuts at 1am so if you don't fancy going to a nightclub but want to socialise later than 11pm then Revolution is the place.
... ...The piece de resistance of Revolution is their vodka shots and huge range of cocktails.
Basically if you like vodka and like shots then go for a rack of 6 for £8... 6 shots come in your own plastic rack ! You can get almost any flavour you want ... and I mean any! I've had the pleasure(!?)
of trying rhubarb and custard, white chocolate, fruit salad, blackcurrant, vanilla and cola! There are about 50 flavours available so theres something for everyone.
