Reviews for Revolucion in Indianapolis, IN
Rev is maybe my favorite bar+food place in Indy. Is it the best tacos? No. Is it the best Tiki? Also no. Still my... favorite. The place is chill AF, great tiki bar and patio area, and I love the kalahu pork tacos to death, plus chicharrones,uh yes please. Excellent staff, top notch, always friendly and always great. Lets talk Tiki for a second - first, they have ablender. Ok snobs, line up, Trader Vic didn't like a blender - well it was 1934, blenders change, get modern. You want atechnical tiki that tastes like 3 kinds of sour but is legit 1930s Oakland California? I can suggest some places, I know therules, whatever - but this place, Rev, they have cool smooth tikis that are balanced and damn tasty and damn boozy, and friends,that is all this guy needs. Well, and the chicharrones. Read more
We have been here about 4 times. It?s on the other side of the city but we keep coming back because of the quality food and... drink and the atmosphere. The staff is amazing and you can tell that the owners appreciate their people. The cocktails are fullof flavor and the menu has something for everyone with appetizing fusions. Last night we were trying to decide where to go for adrink and also wanted to meet up with some friends. We decided on Revolucion and it turned out they were already there. Nosurprise. Read more
Yea there are plenty of other tequila bars and mexican restaurants around town but the quality is what separates Revolucion from... all the other places. All their food is prepared with high standards and the drinks are mixed so smoothly. I highly recommendgetting the nachos. Its enough for two people and obviously looks as delicious as it tastes.

Could be my favorite new hang! I drive by it every day, but had never been in. In fact, I thought it was just a hip cool coffee... spot. Seems that it was always super busy, and I thought, " man, these Fountain Sqaure kids sure do love their americanos." No,this place is not a coffee shop, and apparently these fountain square kids love their Hawaii-Mexian fusion! I was walkingthrough the area just doing my usual digs, and their liquor wall caught my eye from the street. I was like, "hol on, now, that'snot coffee flavoring, that thar is spirits!", so I went in. Boom! From go, I'm blasted by the color arrangement of the worldlydecor. I had no idea what a night I was in store for. I walk up to the bar, and Roni, one of the owners greets me. I explainthat I had no idea what or where I was, and how I had no idea what they offered. She explained that this was a grand restaurantand bar. And bam, I see the draught beer list. Gaaaawd, how could I have missed such a gem for the last 2 years of being back inthe area?! I ordered a Bier Brewery Dubbel, and chilled and took pics, as a single hip cool dude does. I talked w some of theservers, didnt get any names, cause you know that's creepy to ask names. They were doing their thing, I was doing the vibething. Got a chance to talk to one of the other owners, Tufty. I got the run down of the history and core values of the place.Place is pure lit. I was given a tour of the other seating locations of the restuarant, and the rest of the luminous decor. Ithen spent more time being delighted w tales of ol, and plans for the future w them. A grand night had by me. But I didnt estanything, because I think I had eaten just before. Who cares, gave me another reason to come back. Round 2: bite! I purposelywent back a day ago just to order some food, and take a pic so I could post all my pics and this review. I walked up, and Ididnt see any lights on, but the hours on the door said they were open. Always try the door! Opened the Read more
The man that owns this place is rude and not very well kept seems like the staff takes a lot of abuse from him sadly. He needs... to step down and get a real manager in there he was even rude to us but we wanted to see what they hype was about. The staff wasfriendly, the drinks were decent, the aesthetics were ok .. it?s nothing to super rave about I did enjoy the tacos we got butthe real tiki bar is the inferno room. Plus this place has no parking you just have to find parking because it?s a heavy trafficarea near this place Read more
If you?re looking for a fun night/atmosphere this might be your spot, but if you?re looking for good tacos, stay away. My... husband and I went here one evening pretty late. There was no hostess to greet us (no problem), so we found one and asked whatour seating options were. She told us we could stand at the ?communal? table or wait until seats opened at the bar. We startedat the table, and then were able to get bar seats. The servers weren?t all that friendly but weren?t terrible. The queso dip wassuper basic, as were the margaritas. We had a number of tacos. The steak was the best, the shrimp was pretty terrible (tinyshrimp), hardly any flavor, and the fish ones were super dry. However, the chicken was the absolute worst. Imagine someone justputting unseasoned dry shredded crockpot chicken in a tortilla with a lime on the side. I was shocked that they actually had theaudacity to serve this basic chicken to customers and was extremely disappointed. If I?m honest, these were overall probably theworst tacos I?ve ever had. I have no reason to ever go back here. Read more
Expansive bar in the front with plenty of seating and space with good Mexican style food and home made hot sauces. (Try the Pink... Death!). And in the back a tiki bar vibe with outdoor seating in the summer. Service was quick and drinks and beer weremoderately priced. Read more
Having been here before the pandemic our group of eight were expecting to sit inside at one of the large tables. After entering... we were told that everyone was outside in the back tiki bar area. I said we would rather sit inside. Bartender inside said theywere only seating outside. No inside seating was being used. She gave no reason. After going outside we noticed that the onlyseating for more than four people was picnic tables. We pulled up two chairs on each end of the picnic table so we could all sittogether. We are all over 65 years old. After sitting down our waitress took our drink orders and we ordered some appetizers.Nachos and cheese. They were very good. I ordered a drink and asked for a glass of water. I was told the water is over there. Isaw two large igloo coolers sitting in front of the bar. Guess the waitress could bring me a drink but not a water. Thought thatwas strange. Ordered the Kalua burrito. It was huge and very tasty. All in all everything was good. Would have liked to sitinside in the air conditioning. Read more
