Revolution Liverpool - Albert Dock — Restaurant in Liverpool

Wednesday 20th June 2018 was our 4th visit to Revolution as we have previously enjoyed the food and good service. Sadly on this occasion it was not a good experience. My husband and I went for lunch and found the restaurant 'steady' but not very busy. Having been seated and given the menus we were not asked if we would like a drink. The waitress walked off and was attending to other customers and left us waiting so long I went up to the bar myself to purchase our drinks. After fifteen minutes I could still see that the waitress was still taking orders from another table close by so I went to the bar again and bought two more drinks, I took the cocktail menu to the bar and pointed at the non alcoholic cocktail, I ordered one plus a coke. The unsmiling barman went ahead and mixed the cocktail which turned out to be the wrong one, it was a rum bull which was next to the one that I had selected on the menu. I pointed out this error but the barman said that I had asked for a rum bull which was not the case, I do not normally drink alcohol during the day. I did however pay for this drink without a quibble. When I got back to the table the waitress came and took our food order. After a 15 minute wait I became concerned and asked a member of staff to check up on the order. The food was served to us 10 minutes later. As for the quality of the food I was most disappointed, the Sri Lankan curry arrived with congealed rice, it looked as though it had been cooked in a microwave bag. The chicken curry itself tasted ok but the portion was less than expected for a main course, it was more like a large starter. The waitress asked me if I would like any relishes with the meal, I asked for some mango chutney which she said was not available but offered onion chutney instead. She walked away and never returned with my relish. My husband ordered BBQ chicken and chips which he found was rather mediocre. Quite frankly, we left the restaurant bar feeling hungry and I must say that I have been served better food in a...

We had an amazing time here for a Hen Party Cocktail Masterclass and food. I spoke to and organised with the team via email/phone prior to arriving with hen party and they went above and beyond especially Will to sort food pre orders and accommodate changes as well as sorting payments.

When we arrived it was a Saturday and valentines weekend so quite busy but we got space at bar to get drinks while we waited to be taken upstairs for the masterclass.

The area for the masterclass is nice as still get some of the bar atmosphere but it's not too loud and got nice views of the docks. We were welcomed with shots and there were 3 pitchers of cocktails for the group (13 of us) which went around quite well.

Trey who did our cocktail masterclass was brilliant and made the event to be honest. He had great way with everyone and was able to keep us on track (as much as possible) we all got to make cocktails of choice, play drinking games and have more shots to finish.

We were then moved to the 3 boothes next to the cocktail making area and again even though another class was after us we still felt like the party was able to interact and the food came very quickly with preorders. Only the bride hadn't preordered so not to spoil what she was going to be doing and her food was still done quickly

Lauren (and the other lady serving the food/drinks) were great getting the food out and co ordinating with me and my spreadsheet for who had what. So we felt we had plenty time to eat chat and drink some more. Settling the bill was easy too and they were able to do a separate food and drinks bill which helped immensely at the end.

Only negative was that we did ask for one plain nachos with masterclass and all the loaded nachos came out but not the plain ones until just before class ended but it did get sorted once we spoke to the staff.

Would highly recommend for parties...

Came in here on a hen do. Originally we was booked in at Revolution de Cuba at 10pm but I received a call to say for unforeseen circumstances they could no longer accommodate our booking and offered to move us to Revolution and have our package honoured. We accepted as we were in Liverpool for the weekend only. When we got there we had a table all together which was good. However, our initial package was we all have a drink voucher worth £8.50 or similar to use at the bar, and the remaining of our tab can be spent on whatever. We had to pay £10pp as a deposit. Instead we were given wristbands and were told to go to the bar and they'll take our order off the tab with our wristbands. The problem with this is all cocktails were practically over £10 so in the end when the last girl went to order, she got told she had to pay cos our balance had ran out so our original package wasn't honoured truly. As well our booking was 10pm-12am. We did not know the venue shut at 12am and checked and Revolution de Cuba shut at 2am. At 11:30pm the lights came on and the music went quieter. By 11:45pm the music had stopped. We were so disappointed as we paid to be there till 12am. Then at 11:54pm as 8/14 of us were waiting for taxis, the bouncers wanted to kick us out. They said they have to close the doors at 12am so we had to leave which we argued we have a booking until 12am. Our taxis then arrived at 11:57pm so overall, we were not impressed with Revolution. This is the sister bar to Revolution de Cuba which we are 90+% sure it was open Friday night because we drove past it, so not sure why we were even moved. Overall this was extremely disappointing so if you're coming in for a booking like this, just take note. I've emailed Revolution de Cuba complaining and will redirect to Revolution...
