Revival 1869

Revival has a cool vibe. This was our first time here. But we heard they had great charcuterie boards and fun drinks. We didn't get any charcuterie because we came after dinner so I can't speak to that. There's the side with a bar. Very Busy! And the other side is filled with couches and chairs. It took awhile for us to find a place to sit and it was probably around 7:30pm. But since it was busy it too a while to get some service so be prepared for that on a busy day. I loved the bathroom they had a candle burning to make it smell good. I always love it when I see bathrooms that have hair pins, safety pins, tampons, hairspray, etc for women for any wardrobe malfunction or need to fresh up. Kudos! I got the drink "For the Peculiar Guest." Our waitress said it was one of her favorites but it's a bitter drink because of the base alcohol Malort. I had never had Malort before. I thought I would give the drink a try. It was good, a little bitter but not bad! And some background the bartender who created this drink also won best drink at a Malort fest in Raleigh recently. Quite an accomplishment! They have different mixed drinks - give them a try!

Revival is a fun and relaxing cocktail bar in Clayton NC. They have a seasonal cocktail menu and just about every liquor you can think of on the wall. The have some couches/rooms set up for you and your party to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. During this visit, we tried The Peculiar Guest, The French Antagonist and the Old Fashioned. The Peculiar Guest has a Malort as it's base and was mixed magnificantly. The French Antagonist used Cognac and was a delightful, light version of the old fashioned. I'll be back. I also took this awesome photo.

The team here is fun, personable, and the "lead" mixologist is brilliant. Great relaxing chic space.

This place is a gem if you love bourbon and whisky and even if you don't. The bartenders are knowledgeable and welcoming and make interesting drinks. The ambiance is great to either hangout with friends or a date. Also, it's haunted.

This unique clayton bar is bar far one of the most unique in the area and not something I would have expected to find in Clayton. The ornamented cozy and comfortable decor provides more of an intimate environment for groups and couples. They make an excellent old fashioned and have great bartenders at the ready to engage their mixology skills. If your looking for a chill environment that comes with a speakeasy feel, this is where you want to be. Cheers!

Absolutely love the vibe at Revival 1869! Place was busy but had no issue finding a seat or getting drinks. Bartenders made some delicious cocktails. Will definitely be back!

I finally found my Angel's Envy bourbon . Very busy place. Women are few and far between. It's Clayton! Busy staff . Good music, I'll know where to go when I want my Angel's Envy!
