Revival Bar

With its grungy good looks and innovative features, Revival is a low-key inner-city bar with a good live music scene and hip, young staff. As its name suggests, this place is big into renewal and rebirth. In fact, the owners pride themselves on this “second life” theme which they’ve executed throughout, even down to the bar’s iconography (the ever moving fantail features in the logo). Almost everything you see is recycled (including the shipping containers the bar is made of), lending to a scruffy DIY charm, compounded by an array of tables made from TVs, shopping trolleys as chairs, suitcases as couches and cake mixers as side tables. This place certainly is innovative and a great after work hang out.
