This has been a long time coming.
Revel opened last night at 238 Abbott Street in Gastown. A city strike and financing trouble may have set them back by many months, but the end result is a lovely, cozy little place full of complimentary contrasts. Like Cobre nearby, it balances modern touches against the old brick bones of the neighbourhood without going overboard. Check out the pixelated light/art installation upstairs. Kinda cool. Two floors, nice little bars, plenty to look at. The menu was all small plates in the $8-$12 range with larger dishes coming once the kinks are worked out. I’d just finished dinner at Hy’s and a couple drinks at Boneta so it was just a quick walk-through. Folks seems super nice. Break a leg.

nice! I’ll have to get down there and check that out soon.
Great another place to spend money in my hood. I’ll have to drop by in the next day or two. How’s the drinks programme?
Let us know.
