Revelry feels like your cool aunt’s living room if she collected vintage art, maintained a VHS library with working VCR, and served craft cocktails alongside gastropub food.
Located at 227 S Federal Highway in downtown Pompano Beach this eclectic lounge opened in Lake Worth in May 2017 before expanding to a larger Pompano space.
The restaurant’s tagline “Plates & Potions” perfectly captures the experience with creative cocktails, mocktails, and craft beers paired with food that elevates casual dining.
What Makes Revelry Special
The aesthetic draws inspiration from indie-bohemian bars of bygone eras creating a space where time moves differently with vintage TVs inviting guests to browse the VHS library.
Art and vintage treasures line the walls giving every corner something interesting to discover during your visit creating conversation starters.
The speakeasy-style atmosphere strikes that rare balance between casual comfort and special occasion energy earning praise for the nostalgic charm.
The Story Behind the Restaurant
Revelry started in Lake Worth as a small beer and wine lounge before the vision demanded a larger Pompano space to accommodate growing cult following.
The evolution from simple concept to bustling entertainment destination demonstrates what happens when vision meets execution and community embrace.
The restaurant’s commitment to entertainment beyond food means live music most nights, Music Bingo Thursdays, and adult spelling bees creating packed calendars.
