Mietta's Review
A first-floor renovated warehouse space in Chapel St, 70s New York meets Brunswick alternative style. It does something for everyone, art exhibitions, films, fashion parades, DJs all day on the weekends. Also an eating area serving Thai food (nothing over $12), supper rolls from 11pm to 5am at weekends. After that the music takes over.

Other published opinions

The Age Clem Bastow, 17-7-2008 "It's not uncommon for certain venues to become institutions and in the case of Prahran's Revolver, institution status was granted, in rough historical terms, just after the invention of the wheel. The sprawling venue at the top of a precipitous staircase (which, incidentally, should by rights be anaethema to - ahem - festive patrons, but seems instead to draw them upwards like lemmings in reverse) attracts a love/hate relationship with many punters, which likely has more to do with self-hate once said punters find themselves sinking into a couch at 5am rather than any wrongdoing on the part of the bar"
