Raising a glass from Bulimba, Revel Brewing Co. embodies Aussie spirit and zest. Anchored on the buzzing Oxford Street and branching out to Morningside’s storied lime factory, we aren’t just about beer. We’re a blend of history, craft, and that unmistakable Brissy vibe. Dive in, take a sip, and experience a whirlwind tour of flavour, passion, and the echoing sounds of revelry. Welcome to Revel, where every pint tells a story.
From awards, like the “Best New Brewery” in 2018, to expanding horizons, Revel’s journey is anything but ordinary. Morningside’s iconic lime factory? That’s our next chapter. Despite challenges, by 2021, Revel Rivermakers Restaurant opened its doors. Celebrating both Bulimba’s brewing tradition and Morningside’s historic charm, we invite you on this adventure. So, here’s an open invite: Experience our tale, flavour by flavour, and jump aboard the REVELution!
We had a confirmed booking for 6 adults and 2 kids.
We arrived and there wasn’t a single table free nor any booked. We asked and after waiting for 15 minutes we were told someone must have accidentally removed the reservation signs from the tables… we were told to wait another few minutes and we’d get a table, which we did but just because we sorted it ourselves.
45 minutes later eventually we placed a food order, we were told they were busy and it’d take 45 minutes which we said it was fine. 1h30 min later we went to ask what was going on and we were advised the order was likely diverted to the wrong table and because they were very short staffed there was nothing they could do other than place another new order and wait another 45 minutes…. Not a single apology, not a nice gesture or word. Not sure if you’ve ever made kids wait for 2hrs for food just to tell them it ain’t coming but what was meant to be a fun day out, well, it wasn’t.
We just left and aren’t planning on ever coming back. The only nice thing I can say is that the venue is gorgeous, but everything else from lack of convenient access and parking to service was shocking.
