Revolucion: Experience the Vibrant Flavors of a Tiki Bar in Indianapolis

Nice relaxed atmosphere with dimmed lights in the tiki bar! Good prices for the specialty drinks and their size. Nachos and chips and salsa were good, but the quesadilla could use more ingredients.

Very good food and great service! A great place to have my birthday

We were late getting into town and they got us fed even though it was late. So kind and the people are great. Your staff if professional. I run a business. I appreciate it.

Rev is maybe my favorite bar+food place in Indy. Is it the best tacos? No. Is it the best Tiki? Also no. Still my favorite. The place is chill AF, great tiki bar and patio area, and I love the kalahu pork tacos to death, plus chicharrones, uh yes please. Excellent staff, top notch, always friendly and always great. Lets talk Tiki for a second - first, they have a blender. Ok snobs, line up, Trader Vic didn't like a blender - well it was 1934, blenders change, get modern. You want a technical tiki that tastes like 3 kinds of sour but is legit 1930s Oakland California? I can suggest some places, I know the rules, whatever - but this place, Rev, they have cool smooth tikis that are balanced and damn tasty and damn boozy, and friends, that is all this guy needs. Well, and the chicharrones.

Could be my favorite new hang! I drive by it every day, but had never been in. In fact, I thought it was just a hip cool coffee spot. Seems that it was always super busy, and I thought, " man, these Fountain Sqaure kids sure do love their americanos." No, this place is not a coffee shop, and apparently these fountain square kids love their Hawaii-Mexian fusion! I was walking through the area just doing my usual digs, and their liquor wall caught my eye from the street. I was like, "hol on, now, that's not coffee flavoring, that thar is spirits!", so I went in. Boom! From go, I'm blasted by the color arrangement of the worldly decor. I had no idea what a night I was in store for. I walk up to the bar, and Roni, one of the owners greets me. I explain that I had no idea what or where I was, and how I had no idea what they offered. She explained that this was a grand restaurant and bar. And bam, I see the draught beer list. Gaaaawd, how could I have missed such a gem for the last 2 years of being back in the area?! I ordered a Bier Brewery Dubbel, and chilled and took pics, as a single hip cool dude does. I talked w some of the servers, didnt get any names, cause you know that's creepy to ask names. They were doing their thing, I was doing the vibe thing. Got a chance to talk to one of the other owners, Tufty. I got the run down of the history and core values of the place. Place is pure lit. I was given a tour of the other seating locations of the restuarant, and the rest of the luminous decor. I then spent more time being delighted w tales of ol, and plans for the future w them. A grand night had by me. But I didnt est anything, because I think I had eaten just before. Who cares, gave me another reason to come back. Round 2: bite! I purposely went back a day ago just to order some food, and take a pic so I could post all my pics and this review. I walked up, and I didnt see any lights on, but the hours on the door said they were open. Always try the door! Opened the door, but no one was there, and the owner explained that the back was the seating of the evening. Well that's cool, I thought. I cant remember a place where a section of the building was closed, yet another was. The back half was more of a Hawaiian theme, while the front was more Mexican. I over heard the server tell a couple who had come in w me that the house Margarita was $5, so when she asked me, that's what o ordered. Who is never in a mood for a margarita? No this guy! As I wait for my drink,I looked over the food menu. Quite a selection! I ordered the pork tacos, but not the Hawaiian pork tacos, cause they were out. And these tacos were heavenly. They had house made hot sauces, and they added the bite I hoped for. As I enjoyed my margarita and pork tacos, I blissfully enjoyed the jamaican music that bumped on the stereo. W delight, I was treated w a rendition of " Take Five" from King Tubby, a dub legend. All the servers as super fun and inviting. Food is amazing, owners are hands on, and drinks are always flowing! Highly suggest this delicatessen! When in fountain square make sure to visit Revolucion restaurant and bar. I'll see y'all thar!

This bar may have the friendliest staff we’ve ever encountered! Ample seating inside if there’s none on the patio. The drinks were incredible. Food was quite delicious- we both ordered burritos (could’ve ordered just one- they were huge!) and shared poutine. Only critique there is the fries could’ve been cooked longer and the burritos needed some sort of sauce… didn’t realize until too late they had some sauces out on other tables - we will know to look for next time. With this being our first time ever in the area, the parking was a bit of a hassle just because I didn’t expect to have to drive around for 10 minutes finding somewhere to park….and parallel parking isn’t something I’m great at :-) We had a lovely walk to and from the restaurant though and enjoyed seeing the other food and drink options. Revolucion was such a fun experience we will definitely be back!

Nacho Average Date Night” My girlfriend and I rolled in for a casual drink and a light bite. What we got was a full-blown fiesta delivered at warp speed by our waitress Theresa She brought us nachos so grand, they deserved their own zip code. Imagine a shimmering tabletop canoe loaded with crunchy chips, guac so fresh it probably was hiding from ICE, jalapeños with a vendetta, and enough onions, tomatoes, and black beans to legally classify it as a vegetable garden. It was easily enough food for four, but like a true nacho-loving hero, I begrudgingly shared with my gorgeous date—because romance, you know? The vibe? Perfect for date night. The service? Fast enough to make the Flash jealous. The food? Nacho problem anymore, 'cause we ate it all. Five stars. Ten chips. Zero regrets. Will return with stretchy pants.

Hadn’t been to revolucion in a few years, so decided to go this past week. The place was exactly as I remembered it. There’s a tiki bar in the back, if that’s what you like. The tacos were decent, but the fries there are really good and that’s what I remembered. The drinks were also good; they could be a little better.
