The drinks are great but most importantly the ambiance and service have been top notch. The staff is also very accommodating to requests. Great on game days since it is next to the golden 1 center but definitely recommend making reservations on busier days if you want to be seated around the rooftop or the fire pits.

I hadn't been to this rooftop in at least 4 years! I was surprised to see the aesthetic changes they've made. I went for a birthday celebration on a Tuesday. The establishment was not busy when I arrived around 7:30pm. Max there was about 35 people there, 15 of which were there for the birthday celebration. I sat and waited to get a drink until my friend was ready to get her second drink. When we approached the bar- which was virtually empty- there were four people at the bar- it took a good 5 minutes before we were acknowledged. My friend already knew what she was getting , but I didn't. I had to ask the men next to me for their drink menu because the bartender didn't offer one or acknowledge me when she asked my friend what she wanted to drink. After taking care of my friend, she moved on to two women next to us , again , without acknowledging me. I knew all I was asking for was a glass of wine, so it was kind of frustrating to have to wait for someone else's cocktail to be made when I could've already joined the rest of my friends, had the bartender taken both my friend's and my order at once. I ordered a glass of chardonnay. The Chardonnay wasn't even cold & though I had that label before, it didn't taste the same. Honestly, it tasted like it was a day old bottle. I did take a sip of my friend's drink, she ordered a Oaxacan Old Fashioned; the drink was very strong- but the mixology just wasn't there. This rooftop was much better when it first opened, in my opinion, or maybe I just went on a bad day.

I was there for a company sponsored event. Awesome venue. Loved the rooftop view of the pool and terrace!

I don't consider Revival a "restaurant". It's a lounge bar that offers primarily appetizers, and this night there was a burger and a salad option on the menu, which was extremely limited in what was offered. They need to offer more small plate, sharable options that compliment cocktail spirits and wine. Who wants to eat brussel sprouts while drinking a lemon drop martini?!

The bar attendant was really great. It's a rooftop bar, really chill down to earth staff. Easy to talk to and they get sarcasm and play along. Sometimes it's the staff that really make or break the place. We went drinking at the various spots in doco and this was by far the best experience. Inside is pretty chill too, like I said it's a rooftop bar, but amongst the options when it comes to bar hopping, a drink is a drink, at the end of the day. So, what really calls for rating one above the other, and for me that is the personalities at the bar. Definitely put this on your list of places to drop by if you are in the area, it's a must to come by and talk to the staff and make some conversation. Satisfied first time customer.

Food is very good and delicious, but portions are too small ? The staff are very friendly and professional. There supposed to be a DJ but there wasn’t. Prices are above average. The atmosphere is great.

It's a vibe! Love the decor and the ambiance. Feels super upscale. It's very intimate to me. It's the bar/lounge of the hotel Sawyer, but feels like a place of its own. It's open to the public you don't have to be staying at the hotel to visit. Go during sunset golden hour, the views are spectacular. The pool outside just makes it feel so calm. They do serve food not just bar drinks. Bartenders are work fast but usually attentive. The drinks are okay. Presentations always a 5/5 and it's tasty, but not much alcohol. I'd recommend this spot if you're looking for low key atmosphere for a small talk or relaxed night. Not so much for a bar night out. Maybe you can start here but won't be the vibe you're looking for for an actual night out. There is music but it's more of a lounge.

The wife and I had a wonderful happy hour date. The decor and overall atmosphere was warm and inviting. From the food to the drinks, we were blown away how delicious everything was. Staff were very friendly and helpful with any questions we had regarding the menu. By far one of the best experiences we've had.

OMGosh! Such a disappointment! First of all, it took forever to get the waitress to come over; I had to wave her down. There were many empty tables. Then, she asked if the host sat us. No host in sight! The wine menu was extremely limited. Then, to top it off, our drinks came in PLASTIC glasses. What?! I understand using plastic by the pool but in the bar? I will never go back. Disappointing service, disappointing menu.
Great bartenders! Great service! Great drinks! 10/10 recommend! We met the bartender and she was great, showed how to make some drinks!! Was very kind! A must stop if you are in Sacramento!

Had heard of Revival but wasn't quite sure where it was or how to get to it. We went to the Sawyer because of the pop up bar they were having but we got too late to attend it. Since we were already there we just decided to get a drink at Revival. It's very beautiful decorated but still has a chill vibe. It's perfect for a date night. They have some tables and little roundish booths inside that you can reserve. They also have two fire pits, small round tables with benches/ seats and a pool outside! Talk about a great photo op! Drinks were delicious and the service was great!

I love the vibe of this place. It's upscale and it's great viewed/scenery are perfect for girl's nights or to catch up with friends. I think the drinks and food are overpriced. Maybe if the cocktails and food were superb, it would of be an issue but that's not the case. Service is a hit and miss depending on how busy they are. Drinks are sometimes really good and sometimes you wonder. I ended up sticking to wine because of the inconsistency of the cocktails. We ordered two samplers which looked delicious but they didn't provide wonton chips or chips to scoop up the mango salad or poke. It looked so good too. We asked the server for some sort of option and she said they only had bread they could offer. What a shame. I probably won't be back.

This place was the perfect spot for a lowkey but refined anniversary dinner. The servers were really kind and even gave us a free dessert and wrote “Happy Anniversary” on the plate in syrup. Adorable!
