    I'm a little bit bias on this review as one of the owners Ben, has been a great friend of mine for over 15 years now. With that transparency out of the way, I can still give you an honest assessment of Revelry. It's a busy bar in Ponsonby with a reputation of good drinks, fun times and always an excellent night out. If you haven't been, it's definitely worth dropping in on a sunny afternoon to have a drink and a bite to eat on the deck. Congratulations Ben, keep up the great work 👏 👍

    The dance floor gets extremely crowded on busy weekends. Staff members are generally friendly but customer service could improve. I feel the music is more or less repeated. I have heard the same tracks playing on consistent weekends. They have an open latin dance event every Thursday night but the crowd has deteriorated over time mainly because of creepy men trying to hit on women relentlessly. Prices are a little on the higher side. There is definitely scope for improvement.

    A great place to go even if you’re not there for the drinks. Amazing workers that greet you with a smile and have polite attitudes. The food is also amazing, platters are really good. The squid and shrimp were particularly good.

    The food was nice but it took 1 hour and 40 minutes for our platter to come out which was a variation of fried foods, to be fair it was a Saturday night but we would have ordered something easier if we were warned of the wait time. Our drinks and nachos came out relatively fast, so maybe an hour in we asked if we could cancel the platter because we weren’t hungry anymore, but we were told the kitchen had already started making the food and we had to wait another 40 minutes for it to come out. Would maybe return but at a less busy time.

    This place will kick you out, regardless of where you stand on a social conflict, if you are a male human being & you’re taking assault from a female who isn’t justified or willing to explain the expression of that physical assault, you will get kicked out by the bouncers of this club, regardless of what the cameras saw. You don’t even have to fight back, you just have to take the physical assault & you will get kicked out for it. That’s the reality of this club, they care so little about human issues, that it can all be amounted to the fact that if you’re a male, you get kicked out over an issue that you didn’t even start.

    Drinks are pretty expensive i havent been to a bar and paid so much for alcohol before and the cider on tap honestly tasted like water. Dj is good i liked his music and the vibe is good i just wouldn't go there unless i had been drinking somewhere else before hand

    So I was here one Thursday night recently with a few mates. They were having some sort of an open dance night. There was this chubby Afro guy with a pot belly who claimed to be the owner and was flirting with one of my girl mates. Although he was a fashion disaster, he and one of his other bald mates posed like the biggest Casanovas in town claiming to be trained dancers and kept asking my mate for a dance. We eventually decided to leave early as the girls in our group were being approached by creepy men. Neither am I ever going back nor will I ever recommend anyone to go here.

    Friendly waitress very accommodating, great service, relax environment, plus hump day comedy night; the load wedges is huge, superb value, pizza is outstanding too, highly recommended A+

  • 5/5 Josh F. 10 months ago on Google
    The pizza & burgers we ordered were perfect. Heart attack sharing plate was way bigger then we were expecting. Awesome choice of cocktails & tap drinks. Even the Freebird mocktail for your sober driver is worth going back for

    The bar features a staff that is known for their friendly and accommodating nature, ensuring a pleasant experience for patrons. The cocktails served are delicious and satisfying, offering a wide variety of flavors to suit different preferences. However, some customers may find the food options to be on the fattier side, which could be a drawback for those seeking healthier choices. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that the bar does not offer any dessert options, which may disappoint those with a sweet tooth.

  • 5/5 Safaa H. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a solid Thursday night there! Free latin dance class at 8:30pm (salsa, bachata or kizomba) then a fun social night of Latin music and dance. Never a dull moment there.

  • 5/5 Alina K. 1 year ago on Google
    Revelry is an awesome place for anyone who'd like to spend a good time with friends. Atmosphere is very cosy, whether you sit inside or outside. Food and drinks are great and they've had another type of beer added recently (Can't remember the name, I'm not a beer person:)) Oh and Baila dancing nights on Thursdays are just fantastic!

  • 4/5 Jeffrey B. 5 years ago on Google
    Great personal service while we were there at 5pm. Didn't realise there was a happy hour until 7pm, until I paid the bill and scored 3 nice pints of APA and a cider for less than $30. Lovely and cosy inside with old style seats and a gas fireplace. Pink came here during the her concert stint in NZ. I will come back.

  • 5/5 Nick H. 2 years ago on Google
    A really generous happy hour, 4pm to 7pm and excellent prices on their craft beers. I don't think you could find better for the price. Very friendly staff and we had some snacks that were really good.

    Here for some beers and yummy chicken nibbles. Happy hour until 7pm and a good selection of craft beers if that's your thing. Nice vibes.
