I purchased a few items because of so many super cute options (it was so hard to choose!) and with the help of a yelp coupon, I couldn't help but splurge a little bit. The first couple projects we completed were the string art kits. The curbside pickup was seamless and the staff was super friendly! I got home to find the wrong color board but the issue was addressed promptly and Revel went above and beyond to make sure their customers were happy! Picking up a new board couldn't have been easier. Also, when I was at the end of my project and about 15 nails short, they were gracious enough to mail them out to me so I didn't have to drive from Milwaukee to Madison. The customer service here is phenomenal and really made me feel like they cared about their customers. I will be the first to say that I'm not a crafty person but the "Love" design was one I was willing to put forth the effort for and I'm so glad I did. Hammering all those little nails took a little more time than I expected and I'm glad this was a project for home so I could work on it as time allowed. Our next project is the etched coasters and can't wait to see how those turn out. I look forward to being able to visit Revel during "normal" times and take advantage of their workshops and events. Thank you Revel for the at-home crafting experience and thanks to Yelp for the sweet savings! :)

I went to Revel for my friends Bachelorette party last year and had the best time!! We got to choose a craft to make with our group. Each person could choose their own crafts and get the supplies they'd like. They have several different thinks to choose from including a decorative tray, a beer carrier, a picture, glitter art, jewelry, etc. They also have a glitter and sequin bar, a yarn bar, and construction paper area to choose your decorations from. They have a bar area to order drinks or snacks from. You are also able to bring your own food in to snack on. There are instructors there to help you if you want any assistance with any craft. Overall, it was such a fun experience! Great for a girls night or for anyone who likes to craft and socialize. I would highly recommend booking an event at Revel!! :)

This is a review for the virtual crafting workshop that Revel hosted with Yelp. I'm not a big crafter, but I really enjoyed how Revel facilitated the event. I appreciated that they would took the time to wait for everyone to finish a step or even go over instructions again. The craft kit to etch your own coasters was high-quality and I love that it's so functional. They mentioned that they are renovating their space currently to accomodate more in-person small group craft events. They also spoke a bit about how they're adapting to the pandemic -- some of the changes they've made with virtual crafting workshops and on-the-go craft kits have been pretty innovative. Even though I'm not big on crafts, this is definitely something I'd be open to doing with friends as a way to socialize and create something.

This was my first time here and I had nothing but a good time! The staff was friendly, the ambiance makes you want to stay all day and the fact that they have food and drinks makes that very much a reality. My friend and I made Gilded Agate coasters. This craft could have been fine in 30mins but we slowed it down and took a little over an hour to connect and talk while creating the coasters. It's a great spot for date night, Bachelorette parties, or catching up with friends. The space can be loud or quiet and the music is eclectic to match all ear interests. The fact that you can drop in is great! Which allows for spur of the moment ideas or planned nights. Excited to come back and make another craft!!

I'm definitely a fan! I had a great time on my first visit and left with a really fun piece of art (an adorable ice cream cone string art). They make crafting really accessible. Creating things can be really intimidating because it's hard to pick a project and then go out and buy everything you need to execute the project. They do the hard parts for you. First of all, they let you drink fancy cocktails while you craft. They also provide you with the ideas, have all the supplies ready, and clean up for you. I can't tell you how many projects I haven't started because of the prospect of having to clean up after myself. Go get yo craft on!

I dropped into Revel on a Sunday afternoon with a couple of friends to check the place out. It was adorable, fun, and everyone was friendly! They had multiple DIY options and even let us make a DIY item not on the current menu. They provide smocks and all of the supplies you need to make some super cute and crafty DIYs. They also serve drinks, snacks, and host parties. They had a little girl's birthday going on while we were there and it was the cutest thing ever! I will definitely go back to make some more crafts!

We made a reservation a couple days ahead of time and went in a group of 6 friends to craft. I'd never heard of or been here before! I was pleasantly surprised what a low key, evening relaxing environment it was. I'm a mom of a toddler and on Friday night I wasn't crazy about going to a noisy bar, which luckily this wasn't! -Order a drink and/or snack -Look through the menu in person or online and choose which craft you'd like to do (prices are listed) -They bring you a tray of your supplies with instructions -Craft and sip! -Conveniently pay at the register on your way out, separate checks:) *Parking with a map listed on their website. Two (cheap!!:)) garages within short walking distance. This place is great to craft, get a drink, a snack, chat with the girls and have fun. A clean bathroom, too;) It was a unique experience and I'm glad I went!

I love this place--how it looks, the idea behind it, the people that work here and so much more. I first discovered it by parking right in front of it and seeing their sign outside that said "craft bar". I knew it was right up my alley--the workers were so welcoming and just made everything feel so relaxed and comfortable. They may have some special craft during the week and then a book that has their regular crafts as well. I did the string art--all the materials came in a box for me with instructions. I had the freedom to choose how much string and what colors I wanted. I came back to make a present for my cousin's golden 29th birthday--they had DIY beer holders (they held a 6 pack of beer). We came a bit on the later side that evening and ended up not finishing before closing. But the person working was so kind and patient--she helped us so much and didn't show any impatience at all. And to not even skip one of the best parts--they have great cocktails and yummy beer too! Definitely coming back--maybe I can catch one of their special classes/events one day. :)

I had a great time at the agate coaster making event! The only thing that was a little disappointing was that the drink I ordered at the bar was $10, which was a little steep as it is, but the event itself was also expensive. If you are going to charge that much for an event, I would hope to get a drink included in addition to just a cupcake. I thought the event was fun! I will be back for sure.

"Pinterest IRL." Revel is looks like a Pinterest board, from the decor to the projects you create. If you don't know what that means, it's OK. Basically Revel is a space to do crafting projects (pay per whatever project you wish to create). You can choose from a menu of projects, or attend a specific project class, and have as much time as you wish to unleash your creativity. My crafting skills are poor at best, but I was able to make a small project and enjoy myself. Although the staff does interact with customers, customers work independently rather than following an exact set of instructions or guidance from staff. Adults and children are welcome, although Revel is mostly oriented at adults--any children should be closely supervised as there are tools like hot glue guns. Overall, I'm not really into crafting so Revel doesn't have huge appeal to me, but I enjoy the fact that it's something new and different than the other eating and drinking activities in downtown Madison. I think people who like Pinterest crafts would love this place.
