Walking into Revelry felt like ALL the episodes of True Blood, American Horror Story, Six Feet Under, Orange Is the New Black, The Walking Dead, and Downton Abbey walked into a blender, and someone hit Frappe. It’s an experience and a feast for the senses. You'll gag! You get the idea! This aging Xennial (46 and fabulous) found pure joy in this eclectic, wildly entertaining spot.
First off, the warm welcome. Chef Paul Pincus from East Meadow, NY, greeted us with a line that had me questioning my life choices: "You're here to eat, here to drink, and then go home and ___ ." Bravo, Chef! 🤣 As a gay couple, my partner and I felt instantly at home. At that point, take my money! Inclusivity with a side of sass—precisely what we needed.
We were seated at the bar, where the fabulous bartender Ally kept the good vibes rolling. Her hospitality was as refreshing as the Negroni she mixed up for us (gin, Lo-Fi sweet vermouth, Aperol—pure perfection). My Old Fashioned with Elijah Craig Bourbon, Simple Syrup, Angostura, and Orange Bitters was the best I've had in ages. Drink game: strong.
Now, the food. Oh, the food. I had The Jezebelle burger, a 1/2lb black Angus beef masterpiece with mango habanero whip and strawberry onion jam on a brioche bun. Tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Honestly, it might be the best burger I've ever had. Anthony went for the Prime Rib French Dip with garlic horseradish aioli, provolone, and au jus. He was equally blown away. Both dishes came with homemade tater tots that were the stuff of dreams.
Revelry is a haven of quirky decor, incredible food, and top-notch drinks. It was our first night out after moving into our place, and it was truly unforgettable. For an experience that’s deliciously unique and welcoming to all, head to Revelry. Trust me, you'll leave with a full belly and a smile that says, "Bravo, Humans!" 👏🏼
P.S. Don't forget to thank Paul and Ally for making your night one for the books. Cheers!

On our second visit, we enjoyed the food as much as the first time. Getting a Burger and a Beer for $15 has become my new Wednesday tradition. The burgers were delicious and cooked perfectly, and the beer was cold and tasty. I ordered the Jezebel again, and it was flawless. My partner had The Mayor, a quintessential classic. We also tried the Bread Pudding this time, which was beyond scrumptious. I highly recommend it.
