Join the revolution
First off, be aware that there are TWO Revolution bars in Leeds. The older one is near the Corn Exchange, the newer one is near Millennium Square... opposite ends of Leeds, so be sure if you’re meeting friends in ‘Revolution’, you know which one!
I have asked many (MANY!) people for their opinions on which Revolution they prefer... and even between friends opinion is divided.
The newer one is bigger, two levels, comfy booths & a very pleasant atrium bit that feels like your outside (but you’re not so don’t spark up a cigarette here!). I have to say they play more commercial music and has the ‘feel’ of a club chain. Here the door staff are very professional & friendly... the barmen are not always able to keep track of who should be served next (& I have never seen one of them smile). But fair do’s... it gets shoulder to shoulder packed in here.
The older one has a more eclectic vibe, it’s smaller, tiny dance floor, doormen are professional & friendly, the bar staff are a bit more on the ball here (& seem to actually have a sense of humour!) one of them handed me one of those squirty dispenser things to pour my own drink so he could serve someone else at the same time! There’s a genuinely outside bit (so you can smoke here), it’s walled & gated so private from public view with large outdoor parasols with integrated heaters for those colder Leeds nights. The music is harder & the place has a more ‘underground’ feel.
Horses for courses, try ‘em both.
