Review by Javier Sinisterra

It’s an eclectic venue that caters to the needs of both live acts and DJ’ed events, you also get the chance to mingle and experience both local and international artists. Over the years this space has seen its share of talent and celebrities. Jack Soul, Not By Choice, Cowboy Junkies, Chantal Kreviazuk just to name a few. The future king of late night, Conan O’Brian, had a very special meet and greet at Revival the week he took his show to Toronto. Furthermore, who can forget the almost legendary intimate performance by Black Eyed Peas, where good friend Justin Timberlake decided to join in the fun. To this day, I hear stories about that show.
Dominic Tedesco, one of the owners of Revival, is very proud of his club and happy to see it through its fourth year of business. “It’s an amazing place where the club community can connect.” Since May of 2001, he and co-owner Joe Saturnino, have been at the reigns with no plans to relinquish them in the near future.
This will be the third time Dimitri from Paris will be performing at Revival. With two prior sold out shows under his belt, he is a sure bet for one of their most successful and crowd pleasing anniversaries ever. - J.S. |

Revival runs like a roadhouse - expect to be treated like a roadee. Back when the Saturday night's were popular, there were numerous brawls that would break out after 2am's last call.
I recently went back to Revival for a show and found the staff treat everyone like college freshmen about to go wild. Barstaff and doormen probably have seen their share of punches to the face and are particularly rude. This place attracted a particular crowd on Saturday nights and now treats anyone at any event with disdain.
I don't need to pay my hard earns to be treated like trash.

Revival has seen better days. They stopped advertising their Saturday nights and the effect is noticable, the crowd is half of what it once was.

I have been to Revival on a number of occasions...one of the last was to celebrate my birthday. Let me say, each and every time I have been, the music, atomosphere, and people have been different! I love that! I hate going to a bar and being able to predict my evening. Monday night Jam Nights are the best! Joe and Domenic will definitely make sure you have a great time! And I must say, the guys at the door are amazing...not you're typical stuck-up 'boys'. So when you decide to check out Revival or if you're on your way back, say hi to Peter for me!
