Revolution Lounge Review

When you're associated, in any way, with The Beatles, you'd better be bringing something good. There are a lot of expectations and a lot of rabid Beatles fans and if you show up with something that tarnishes the legacy of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" or "Strawberry Fields Forever" or...well, this could go on all day.

The point is, if you name your bar "Revolution" and you hook up with a Cirque du Soleil show about the Beatles' music, you can't just grab a couple bottles of vodka and call yourself worthy.

So when Revolution Lounge in the Mirage is judged, it's judged much more shrewdly than most other places – and it still comes out with top marks.

We could explain what this place is like as if it, too, were a Beatles' song, but then you might not ever get a feel for it (the bartender is the walrus), so here's a more narrative look.

You'll know you've found Revolution when you see a large group of people all posing for photos with giant letters of the alphabet that spell out "REVOLUTION."

Behind the photo op is the Abbey Road Bar, which is open all the time (when the lounge isn't) and is a neat place, too, all psychedelic and white, but it's not the main event.

Once you're in the actual lounge, take a minute to look around. Revolution, unlike a lot of clubs in town, is a very open-feeling space and even when it gets crowded (and it does), you don't feel like one of many sardines.

If you're not going VIP for the night and grabbing a table, at least take a minute to see if you can catch a glimpse of one – they employ a technology that lets people "draw" on their surface with their fingers. These drawings are then projected around the club (although it can be a little hard to see because there are the usual club lights going as well).

Beyond the tables, the rest of the space is used alternately to stand and mingle or to dance (this will change several times throughout the night depending on who you're near in the crowd). The easiest way to get a drink is the bar immediately to the right when you enter club – and if you stick to the right of that, you'll have a better shot of grabbing a bartender's attention.

This being connected with the Beatles and all, you might wonder about the music and, just like their career, it jumps to a lot of different sounds. In fact, one of the coolest things about Revolution is how each night of the week is different. There are different theme nights that come and go, but you can usually count on finding live music one night of the week, as well as mash-ups and stuff to dance to throughout.

Revolution isn't an ultra-exclusive or snooty club and they keep their cover low, too, so in a way, it's every bit as accessible as the Beatles' catalogue – you'll want to hang out there eight days a week. (See what we did there?)
