lower level, Entrance off Armstrong, 35 Armstrong St, Orangeville, ON L9W 3H6, Canada
A speak easy inspired restaurant, cocktail bar and lounge in the heart of downtown Orangeville. Live music, craft cocktails and fine dining .
This is a fantastic place. Done as a speakeasy on the lower level you enter through a bookcase it is awesome and ones your inside it is wonderfully decorated. The food is delicious you will not be disappointed. Drinks are made by a true mixologist. The music this evening we were there was Blues done by a band that played it very well. Ottis Wonder and the Hustle is the band name. This was an amazing night out with a wonderful group of friends.
Went recently for a birthday party and have mixed feelings about the overall experience. THE GOOD: The looks of the establishment are fantastic, the drinks we had were delicious and the service was pretty good as well. THE NOT-SO-GOOD: The music (both the band and house music) was way too loud and boomy for the size of the room. I couldn't hear myself think, yet alone have a decent conversation with anyone. Also found it weird that current-era dance music was being played, despite what the establishment claims to be. I get it though. The only other thing that surprised me was that the bill we received for 3 drinks came to just under $100. We were charged an automatic 20% gratuity based on our party size and a $10 per person charge for the live band. Fine, I kind of get that too in a way, but it certainly doesn't inspire me to want to revisit.
The atmosphere in this place is amazing. We went to hear the Radiosonic's for a friend's birthday. Everything was fabulous! We did not eat dinner we just had drinks and appetizers. Our reservation and cover for the band was $10. This is definitely a gem 🌟. Love the prohibition feel, they even make drinks that are very authentic. A great night out!
This is one of the most beautiful places I have found in Ontario! Speakeasy, with beautiful extensive cocktail menu, food & entertainment. Angela has made my friends and I feel like family, simply for being patrons of her business. My brothers were married here and they went above and beyond like it was their own family wedding. 10/10 recommend for life!
The world is a better place because Revival 1863 is in it! Wherever you are from, it is worth the trip to Orangeville for this hidden gem. The Entertainment is always top notch. The atmosphere is unparalleled and I'm thrilled that they've recently added a dance floor! With live music that good, you just gotta move. The staff and owners are attentive and skilled at cultivating a vibe that makes you feel as special and unique as the room itself. The food and new menu are outta this world and the drink selection is outstanding! Their bartender makes a Whiskey Sour that is simply the best I've ever had. Perfect place for a date night, a night out with friends or a larger party. It is a small and intimate venue that often sells out so make reservations TODAY for your first experience of Revival 1863 and you'll be making plans to return before you leave.
Amazing place to get dressed up for a fancy date night great food amazing cocktails great service. Every part of this place is beautiful
Great vibe for a bespoke bar in Orangeville. The cocktails are really good and they all have a different twist to it. Kudos to the mixologist. We got the oysters, steak bites, revival fries, tuna, and hummus…they were all good. This place does sell out fairly quick so be sure to book a week in advance! The band was great and kept us entertained all night. Thanks Angela for a wonderful time!
I went last night with my boyfriend, it was my first time there but I’ll definitely be back!! Great atmosphere, owners are very outgoing and super friendly, they make you feel so welcomed it was lovely! As well the staff are amazing ! The bartender is amazing at making cocktails! We saw Pink Leather Jackets perform and they did such a great job would definitely recommend this place!
My favorite place in Orangeville! I love everything from the atmosphere to the drinks.
Amazing ambient
Awesome place! Awesome vibe! Owners are cool as hell!
Great evening of good food and drinks, thanks to #revival1863..excellent musical entertainment by #frankadrianoquartet and #thetestifiers...thank you!
If I could give The Revival 10 stars I would! Everything about this bar is perfect from the atmosphere, to their menu, entertainment, and staff. Youre guaranteed a great night out when youre here. Hands down my favorite spot in the GTA.
Very intimate venue with an amazing atmosphere and drink selection. The live music is always so good.
Great food, amazing live bands and entertainment and the staff and decor speak for themselves! Fun time guaranteed 10/10
Awesome atmosphere and great live music!
This place deserves more than 5 stars! We live in Toronto but drive to Orangeville frequently mostly because of Revivals live bands, ambiance, specialty drinks and shareable apps. Keep it coming!!
Everything is best
Such a great venue tucked away in Orangeville. We travelled from Vaughan to visit a band that was playing here. The acoustics, service, ambiance and hospitality beat my expectations. Hoping to come back again soon.
This is a great place for a speak easy feel with secret entrance and great vibe! Lots of fun drinks Food
Amazing atmospherer great drinks great food and good music what more could you want
What a place! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars for Atmosphere and Service. Place checks all the boxes - live entertainment - comfortable seats - great staff - amazing cocktails - I felt like I was really at a secret speak-easy. Awesome place. Food : 5/5
Oh man you just have to try it...youll love it
Awesome place with a great vibe
A unique dining and music experience. Enter the speakeasy from the lower level and enjoy the ambiance with good friends and family.
Had an amazing time, absolutely loved the vibe of the whole place. Great place for a date night or group outing. There is a cover fee of $10 and the drinks and food are moderately priced. However they have a mandatory tip of 20% That they add to your bill which I didnt love, I always tip well but kind of gave me the ick that it was mandatory.. Overall a fun time out though!
Absolutely beautiful space, incredible cocktails and memorable concept. Everything was well executed. We went on a Friday night and there was live music which was an added bonus. Had the opportunity to meet the owners who were clearly very passionate about their work. Definitely worth checking out.
An incredible venue. I have been twice now, once a live band, 2nd time, comedy night. Both times were exceptional, with excellent food and cocktails. The owners have lovingly remodeled the space into an old fashioned speakeasy, with rich furniture, stained glass and a secret entrance. A location you will definitely go back to often.
Saw an amazing band called Your New Neighbors there last night and the place was rocking!
Been there quite a few times what a very unique experience great service and great food and of course all the Live music will always be back
Very cool atmosphere
Great cool place for amazing drinks and awesome decore with foot tapping music
We dropped in for cocktails after dinner upstairs the drinks the atmosphere were on point. My wife is a non drinker and loved her Virgin Martinis we tried to replicate but she is illergic to the alcohol free gin we purchased we will ask the bartender next time we are in how she makes them .
Fabulous classy place with incredible live music! Amazing service and a beautiful experience overall!
What an amazing place that we are fortunate to have in Orangeville. Great, classy place that is a throwback to when cocktails lounges were luxurious. The cocktails are masterfully created and delicious. The food is so delicious and the service outstanding. They always have amazing bands or events happening there and the owners Mark and Ang really care about delivering an amazing customer experience. I have introduced many friends to Revival and often get requests to make reservations for our get togethers there. Words don t do Revival justice as this is truly a place that you need to experience first hand.
Good times.
The atmosphere is *chefs kiss*. Beautifully put together, including the drinks! Weve been a few times and have always had a great night! Id like to go into more detail, but Rule #10.
Just back from 1863 in Orangeville . Carolina at the bar was awesome , Elizabeth greeted me at the bookcase so cool . Jade the waitress was very nice .The crowd was rocking to the music . Special thanks to Michele I went to see if it was raining and did not realize they lock the doors like a private party . Great idea. But I was locked out cell on the bar lol . Michele came to my rescue thanks Michele . 5 star venue friendly staff and very nice friendly crowd. Love Ontario towns get in there people life to short to sit at home !! I ll be back . George P Toronto /Colgan Ont Parking: Lots
Our first time at the restaurant (late October) and we really enjoyed the food, drinks and service. The atmosphere was lively but still classy until a couple of inebriated women from a nearby booth decided to get up and dance right in front of our table. It went on for a couple of songs at which time we decided to give up on our special night and left. Too bad that this behavior was allowed to continue...the ladies in question were a little old for short skirts and fishnet stockings
Behind a false bookshelf, beneath an old train station turned gastropub is a time capsule preserving a moment in time infamously referred to as the roaring twenties. The low lit, brick walled basement, decorated with extravagant chandeliers is filled with the crooning of a smokey voiced jazz singer. The band plays on behind her. The music spills through the place as the waitstaff takes your order, dressed in costume true to a time long past. A time of prohibition and outlaws. Of jazz and bar raids and secret knocks. Of smugglers. Of gin and bourbon. Rum and whiskey. Blood and gunfire. The bar menu boasts modern riffs classic cocktails, deliciously crafted and presented in true depression era fashion. With all the glitz and glamour, too much for the 4 walls of this underground Speak Easy to contain.
Amazing place. Great food and beverages. Outstanding music. Although our experience with service wasnt great initially and I would have rated this place a 2 star but one of the owner really fixed it for us and provided great service. She was quick to understand that we were not happy with the service and took over the service herself. Great management showcased.
Our group of 4 all loved revival 1863 and its right in Orangeville!! Fantastic ambiance! Has a speakeasy vibe to it. Super cool spot. The service was amazing. Great drinks. I personally enjoyed their house white wine. Really light and smooth. The mixed drinks were a good pour and tasty. The decor and lighting is beautiful. The chairs were super comfortable to sit for the entire evening enjoying great live music. A real jewel of a place. Well be going back for sure!!!
Cool atmosphere and vibe. Food was really good as well!
Always an amazing time at Revival 1863! Love the prohibition vibe and attention to detail in this venue. Mark and Angela are such wonderful hosts. They always go the extra mile to make every visit so personable, ensuring everyone is having a good time and is taken care of. We had a large party celebrating a birthday in a full house last night and they didn t miss a beat. Food and drinks were amazing and the band was so much fun they had the place on their feet. If you are looking for a great night out with top notch service, atmosphere, entertainment, this is your place!
Amazing is an understatement. A beautiful hidden venue with friendly staff. The cocktails are truly divine! A very cool speakeasy that offers entertainment in addition to delicious share plates. THE PLACE to be in Orangeville...if you can find it ;)
Great atmosphere! Makes date night a real experience. Great cocktails and bands
Great place to enjoy time with friends! Cozy surroundings, live music and great staff.
Gorgeous speakeasy style lounge with great entertainment
Great to have a cocktail place in Orangeville.
A++++ Phenomenal place, great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Will keep coming back
The finest for live entertainment and leisure. Amazing menue, service and, atmosphere.
Ill edit the review to answer the reply. The drag show was fantastic, we had a great experience. The issues were with the venue, the light flickering from stage right and the cutting in/out for audio from the same side took away from the experience. The cocktails were great but the plates were okay. Positive experience but those little hiccups brought it down from amazing to okay
Cocktails were creative and delicious!
this is one of the best bars I have ever been to. we came up from Toronto and Im planning routes to go back again.
This place is an experience, we went over late at night, knew it was there but didnt know exactly, no reservations, but they were accommodating. The door in is a hidden bookcase! How cool is that?! The room we entered is a beautiful lounge, everyone was well dressed, the waiters were crisp and professional. We had a few different drinks all of which were excellent, and we had a small smoked salmon canapé which was absolutely delicious. There was a live band playing which was awesome, although for that small a space I recommend you turn it down by 10% volume, but hey some like it loud. Its a place I would definitely recommend as a date night spot.
What a stunning venue. The service and staff were EXCEPTIONAL!! Will absolutely return and cant wait to do so.
Extraordinary place. Genyinely unbelievable.
What a fantastic night! Great live band, great people working there, great cocktails, great friends! The atmosphere was incredible! A little on the pricey side, but ultimately worth it!
The atmosphere was incredible the staff was amazing. Would go back 100% great place to celebrate a bday or anniversary
Very slow service took 30 mins just to get my drink order then waited for that for about 15 mins then waited another 30 mins to get my order of fries lol pretty sad experience to be honest ..place is nice but I won t come back .
This place is absolutely to die for! Wow! From entering the Joint via the secret door that appears out of a bookshelf on your way in that makes you feel like your in a spy movie or you re evading the police in the prohibition era to the very unique and ultra cool staff. Everyone has a personality and they throw the hottest party in town. The exquisite food and next level drinks and suburb. I recommend the ANNETTE KELLERMAN 20Z (House made blackberry infused Niagara Craft vodka, blue curaçao, peach schnapps, cranberry juice, grapefruit foam) It s ridiculoussssss! If you re a live music fan this is a destination to drive to. I don t care if you re from Toronto or down in Hamilton/Niagara area, do yourself a favour and visit this spot! #5star *****
Great space! Super friendly staff!! Definitely wanna come back!!
Absolutely love this place. The owners are amazing, the drinks are top notch and the atmosphere is incredible!!
Fantastic night at Revival 1863! Atmosphere, vibe and live music were so good. We had an amazing evening. Great food, can t say enough about their drink menu. We love the decor! Owners are amazing, first class, professional. Thank you for a wonderful evening!
My favorite place to unwind. Amazing place. Amazing staff. Highly recommend checking this place out.
Really enjoyed my visit here, beautiful layout. Loved the feel of the place. The band playing that night was really good. The food and drinks I had were very good.
WOW! If you havent been, you are missing out! Amazing atmosphere, fantastic bands and shows, spectacular! Rivival 1863 is certainly a One of a Kind place to enjoy a total evening of dining, entertainment, fun and the best cocktails north of Chicago
Such a unique spot
Great Venue.. Great Atmosphere. Angela is awesome.... ask for her, shes really friendly and the seating is nice and intimate. Dylan Wickens Band was playing and they were off the hook . Definitely worth checking out .. Highly Recommend it !
Amazing atmosphere! Great food and great drinks as well!
Great atmosphere, food,drinks,service and entertainment. Love the 19+ and dress code. A fun and memorable night out and I will definitely be a repeat customer. I endorse @revival1863 to all who want to experience something different. My felicitations to the owners in creating a unique atmosphere for those who desire something more. A+++
Awesome atmosphere and the cocktail presentation is gorgeous!
It dont get better than this folks! Hidden bookshelf entrance, insane attention to details, beautifully crafted with serious retro vibes!! Speaking of vibes - awesome live music!!!
The Hit Disturbers were great. The food was decent and the drinks were very good as well. Fantastic night out.
I loved the venue, its beautiful! They have quite an extensive cocktail menu. We were there for the drag show which was a very busy night. Our server seemed extremely busy. Our service was a bit slow which is to be expected when youre at a table of 12, but I wasnt thrilled with the service at the end of the night. Server brought bills to part of our table but not the rest of our table. We tried to get his attention a couple of times since the show was ending, but he never really looked at us. He would come with bills but not the credit machine and then did that over and over again. Im not sure if maybe they dont have enough credit machines. If youre in a hurry to leave find a busy night at a big table, try to get your bill while in advance.
Amazing atmosphere! Music is always great! Owners are amazing. You won t find anything else like it.
Revival is an amazing place. 4 of us went for the first time on a Saturday night and couldn t believe how amazing the vibe was. From the live music to amazing staff and cocktails we will be returning many more times. Thank you Angela for an amazing night I will be spreading the word about Revival!!
Such a fantastic time with great friends. The food was awesome The drinks were flowing and the Band (Gavin McLeod) was amazing. The ambiance of Revival is so beautiful a little rustic and so charming. Ang and Mark are wonderful and kind and alot of fun too. Highly reccomend this place for a great time or a special celebration!
Want to give this place a well deserved 5 star rating! We came for the live music (Larry Kurtz, who was great) but were pleasantly surprised and blown away by the venue itself. Richly appointed, lush decor, great sound system, and comfortable seating with good sightlines to the stage. And our dinner was exceptional (we both had the 8 oz. steak with blue cheese sauce but a lot of tasty alternatives on the menu as well!). Finally the service was warm, friendly and very attentive throughout the evening. We always love a trip to Orangeville but discovering this gem means we now have something more to look forward to!.
Went there on Saturday November 27. We went there to see Table 69 band which we already knew was amazing. But who knew this place was equally amazing!! From the decor, the service, the food, the great mixed drinks, the ambiance (and did I mention the great music??, lol) everything was impeccable. Our server did a fantastic job attending to us and ensuring everything was to our satisfaction. I look forward to coming here again real soon. Everyone had a fantastic time.
Amazing atmosphere, staff, and drink menu. We really enjoyed our appetizer too! Our server Ashley was super friendly and hospitable, and we spoke with Angela who was a very accomadating and lovely owner. The Pink Leather Jackets are always incredible entertainers, highly recommend them as well!
This is an amazing place that defies description. You literally have to go there to understand!
Great entertainment and owners are amazing highly recommended
Awesome vibe.
This is such an interesting place! If you are looking for a lounge atmosphere that is retro, live entertainment, good service, you should check it out!
Everything about this place is incredible. The food, the drinks, the service (Olivia), the decor, and the atmosphere were all exceptional. However, we arrived for our reservation at 7:30 and the seat fee for the live music was added to our bill -- which we knew about and were happy to be charged as we looked forward to the live music. We waited around until 10:15 and the live music had still not begun. It seemed as though this wasnt Revivals fault and that the band was running behind, but it didnt feel fair to have the seat charge on the bill since we didnt hear any live music at all. We still look forward to returning, and this small detail didnt greatly impact our otherwise great experience. Edit: Angela was very quick to respond to this feedback and was very accommodating to us the next time we went for dinner. We ve returned on multiple different occasions and the service, food, music and atmosphere have been nothing less than exceptional. Angela clearly goes out of her way to form connections with her customers and make their experience above and beyond. Can t recommend Revival enough.
Awesome!!
Great atmosphere. Cozy setting. Live music.
This place is amazing!! My boyfriend and I were here this latest stormy Saturday evening, and I havent had such a lovely night out in longer than I can remember. They had live music (Frank Adriana Quartet with Natasha doing vocals) which was marvelous and everything we ordered was fantastic. We loved all our cocktails, the deep fried ravioli special and the build your own charcuterie board was so tasty. Service was stellar, classy, prompt and polite. Definitely check this place out if youre looking for somewhere special to spend an evening or are fond of quality, thought out cocktails. Ambiance is amazing and it was just a great place to spend a Saturday night.
Awesome
Great ambiance. Live music was good. We have been a couple of times and food is way overpriced and is just okay. Nothing substantial to eat like no real meals. Charcuterie boards are scant and the bread is too hard to eat. I actually cut my gums on it. Better if they would do softer bread. Everything seems like little bits of snack food and the price really adds up.
So unique!
This is my second time visiting and experiencing Revival 1863. I was there in the summer with friends and Manhattan experts, so we ordered not one, but two rounds of Manhattans. As a green horn I found the drink no where near to be close to the ones I tasted and the experts offered a thumbs down too! Dont know why, maybe for the love of the Manhattan we tried again and experienced another taste. Unfortunately it wasnt better. So if you are a real cocktail connoisseur, watch YouTube videos and make them at home. I was pulled along for a friends 50th birthday party last Saturday and the Aviator drink in the photo was lackluster. The food we ordered was far from being at all tasty and the overall prices for food and alcohol did not match the quality. So my 2 star comes for the decor... Great environment for Orangeville but please raise your game on food and beverage!
What an amazing spot. Truly amazing, great music. Super amazing vibe. A great spot i highly recommend. I will definitely be going back
Incredible service, atmosphere was amazing and the drinks were even better! Im new to town and the owner, Angela, was great helping me make a reservation and having everything in place for us. I cant wait to come back! 10/10 highly recommend checking this place out
What a place! Highly recommend. The food is great and the drinks are incredible
Awesome place!!! I can see myself being a regular!!!
I love this place!!! The DreamBoats are amazing!
Classic fun! Dressy, casual, up beat, delicious cocktails, worth the drive to Orangeville!
A throwback speak easy this place is awesome. Classy interior excellent service and entertainment. Will absolutely be returning. I highly recommend. 5 stars
Absolutely amazing night! Such a beautiful place. A complete throw back to a speak easy with charm and elegance. The Dreamboats rocked the house and by the end of the night the whole place was dancing!!
Incredible service, atmosphere and quality. This is our new favorite place in town.
Great atmosphere, awesome new addition to Orangeville. Great place to get a drink and listen to some live music.
Best place for live music in Orangeville! Very classy, tasty drinks, glad I found this hidden treasure.
Great place to chill with a uniquely craft cocktail and watch some excellent live music.
The speakeasy comes to Orangeville! This hidden gem wont be hidden for long with its great atmosphere, tasty drinks and amazing live music, located in the lower level under the BVR, Revival 1863 is great new addition to Orangeville.
The elegant decore will excite your senses with the lux chandeliers above and the welcoming Victorian carpet below. The velvet chairs and booths invite you to sink in and stay awhile. The Raspberry Bourbon Smash grouped with the Creme Brulee will elate your taste buds. At Revival 1863 you will be transported to a time before Netflix when entertainment is designed to revive all your senses. As you drift away on the notes from a piano or forget your to do list losing your self with the stand up comedy. Revival delivers
Cozy and classy setting with good cocktails
Excellent atmosphere!
What a gem in Orangeville! Panache and flair... with incredible class. A truly nostalgic place and experience! Will definitely be back and make sure I bring others!
Revival is the coolest place I have ever had a drink! They had a comedy night (Yuk Yuks) that was fantastic and the Blues and Jazz nights cannot be missed
This is great! Reminds me of a nice European style-speakeasy.
I love this place, have been several times and bring different friends with us each time. Ryan is a terrific waiter, love the décor and the inventive drinks. We have all enjoyed the varied entertainment each time. My only suggestion would be to add some vegan options to the menu (spring rolls, vegan charcuterie, hummus and crostini, etc.) I have great recipes/sources if you need them. Cheers!
Great bar, food and drinks are amazing. Beautiful decor.
Awesome
There are no words to describe it, you must check it out. Amazing ambiance, entertainment and staff. Cant wait to return.
Great evening spot. Lots fun.
