If you are looking for a place to hang out with your friends while sipping a few brewskies, then check out Beer Revolution! I've been here a few times and I'm definitely hooked.
The highlight of this place is that they continuously change their beer list which is displayed on flatscreen tvs. The screens also include information such as: Alcohol %, the brewery the beer came from, when the beer was tapped and how long it will be on tap for, and the amount left on tap.
They usually have about 24 varieties of craft beer - ales, stouts, porters, lagers; and about 8 different kinds of bottled beers (including gluten free)! They have 8oz samples ($3.00-$4.00) which is ideal if you want to try a variety of beers; 16oz ($7-$8); and selected varieties for 12oz ($8). They keep popular varieties on tap all the time like the "Peach Fuzz Wheat Ale" which has a refreshingly light peach flavour with a peach to garnish.
When it's really busy, service can be extremely slow. However most of the servers seemed knowledgeable about the beer and answered any questions you had. The bar itself is not too big with tables and bankets set up along the sides. The decor is nothing to rave about, just very modern with different shades of grey/black.
And what goes great with beer? Pizza of course! They serve up tantalizing 10 inch gourmet thin crust pizzas ($15-$19/each). I haven't had the chance to try their pizzas, but they have some pretty unique combinations like their "Junior Boy" (prosciutto, grilled pineapple, roasted jalapenos, smoked cheddar, maple syrup, and marina sauce); and "Blazing Saddle" (blackened steak, bacon, peppers, white cheddar, mozzarella, onions, cajun remoulade, horseradish aioli).
They also put a spin on your typical bar snacks like curry wings ($12), bavarian pretzels ($9), and truffle fries with sea salt, cracked black pepper and white truffle aioli ($8). I tried their nachos which are enormous and full of veggies (great for sharing); and their truffle fries which comes in one of those metal cone molds. $8 is a little steep... but when you have the munchies it's a great snack to share! The dish consists of crispy thick cuts of yam fries and thin potato fries with a tasty lemony aioli.
Their one and only dessert, the "Revolution Ice Cream Sandwhich" is a yummy gourmet 'blast from the past'. I usually don't each ice cream sandwiches, but this is one of my favs. You have two thick chocolate chip cookies sandwiched between an espresso gelato with chocolate flakes, and peppermint whipped cream on the side. The cookies weren't overly sweet or greasy and paired perfectly with the gelato. The chocolate flakes in the ice cream added that extra 'touch'. I hate peppermint in my desserts but the whipped cream had a delicate flavour that worked well with the rest of the dish. Really messy and hard to eat, but tasted fantastic with a beer on the side! The only downside is that the cookies are a hit and miss... sometimes they come out hard and a bit stale or nice and soft.
Overall, check this place out if you're tired of your 'regular' bar and want some good food and beer!
Tidbit: They have a 4 for 4 @4 special (Mon-Sat) where from 4pm-6pm they have 4 select beers/snacks for $4. You have a choice between a small 6 inch pizza, truffle fries, ribs, or bavarian pretzels. Amazing deal! They also have fantastic daily specials that makes me wish I lived closer to it!
