Customer Reviews
Revel and Maker sets the bar for what a cocktail lounge should be. Innovative and high quality drinks (well worth the price), friendly staff, and delicious snacks and appetizers. And not to mention the atmosphere is like a chic prohibition time capsule. It’s hard for my boyfriend and I to go anywhere else to enjoy a drink. We feel like we have friends behind the bar. Kostas is personable and wants to ensure you have nothing but a seamless experience. This has quickly become a regular visit for us.
The best upscale craft cocktails in Peoria! Revel & Maker is a one-of-a-kind beverage experience. If you are looking for a Cosmo or a Long Island Iced Tea this is not the bar for you. Kosta has meticulously curated a unique cocktail menu that you will not find anywhere else. Over multiple visits my wife and I have sampled the majority of the cocktails. Each is extremely well balanced and totally delicious. They are focused on serving the best drinking experience. That is why they don’t do substitutes or rando mixed drinks! My personal favorites are the Elenor and the Another Caucasian Gary. High recommend!
I recently visited Revel and Maker and had an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was nothing short of stunning — sleek, modern décor paired with cozy, intimate lighting that set the perfect mood for the evening. The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, taking the time to recommend drinks based on my preferences. The cocktail menu is both creative and expertly curated, with a fantastic range of options, from classic cocktails to innovative signature drinks. I tried the Eleanor, and it was absolutely perfection — expertly balanced with just the right amount of complexity. What really stood out was the attention to detail in every aspect, from the presentation of each drink to the personalized service. It’s clear that the bartenders are true ar
We showed up 25 minutes early for our reservation. They said we could not go up to the bar until the time of our reservation. We couldn't even go look. She made us wait until 4 minutes before the reservation and then took us up to our table. There were eight empty seats at the bar and there were six empty tables that we walked past. The bartender is a completely miserable person. He seems to hate his job. Won't allow any substituations and none of the cocktails had a garnish which seems odd for craft cocktail. They need to find better host staff and better bartenders. The servers were great with what they had to work with.
Stellar cocktails. Kostas was great to talk to and served us well.
