Revel

Many up and coming Vancouver urbanites love to revel in their own achievements by celebrating just how wonderful their life is with a night out on the town. That is what successful people do after all. Keenly aware of this success-driven mentality, the owners of soon-to-be bar Revel (there are five partners), plan to offer a drinking and dining space for locals to kick back, share cuisine, and enjoy the company of other well-heeled individuals (aka their friends).



The Gastown location, formerly Jak’s Bistro, has been delayed in opening thanks to the abundance of restaurants opening their doors this past year and thus the capable construction workers were at a premium. The plan is to open mid-September, when everyone is back in town (and back in school) after the summer, and business (and socializing) will be in full swing. –E.J.

It was my first time there last night. We walked in, and Dennis, one of the partners met us. He offered us a tour and was so welcoming. The food was diverse and a mix of interesting flavours.

I will be back for sure. It was a great meal, great service and it is a place where you can sit down, relax and spend a good two hours experiencing good company and good tastes.
