Tucked away in a Seminyak alley, Revolver welcomes you with a hidden speakeasy entrance and a cool, retro Hollywood vibe. It’s famous for serving some of Bali’s best coffee, a must-try for any caffeine lover. While the coffee is a 10/10, the food can be hit-or-miss. Play it safe with the recommended Birria Toastie or Breakfast Burrito. Be sure to book in advance, as this popular spot gets incredibly crowded and prices are on the higher side.
Honestly, after winding through the alleys of Seminyak and seeing a security guard standing at the door, I thought I had accidentally stumbled into some Speakeasy Bar [1]. Pushing open that mysterious small door, a retro vibe and a rich coffee aroma wafted over me, Anjay! The contrast is absolutely amazing.
Inside, the lighting was dim, with a hint of 60s Hollywood vibe, and the music taste was on point [2]. But there were really a lot of people, the tables were super close together, making it hard to even whisper. However, when the coffee was served, everything was worth it. It truly lives up to its reputation as the"Bali's Best Coffee" [3], the taste was incredibly rich and smooth, Mantap! My early morning grogginess was instantly gone.
As for the food, the Birria Toastie[4] I ordered surprised me; the beef was tender and flavorful, the cheese pull was amazing, so delicious I wanted another one. My companion's Breakfast Burrito[5] was also huge, enough to fill up a guy.
But! Girls, listen to my advice, the food here really depends on luck. A steak my friend ordered before was a huge miss [6]; it was dry and tough, 250,000 rupiah for this? I felt like my teeth were going to break... The prices aren't"Bali-like" at all, almost reaching Australian cafe levels [7]. And the coffee is single shot by default; if you want it stronger and add a double shot, you have to pay extra, that's a bit stingy, huh.
My Sincere Guide, Take It Or Leave It
- Only for coffee, go for it! If you're a coffee lover like me, it's definitely worth making a special trip for a cup, the quality is undeniable.
- If you want Brunch, be cautious. Food reviews are very polarized, don't have too high expectations. Order the signature toastie and burrito I mentioned above, they're relatively safe.
- Definitely! Absolutely! Book in advance![8] Don't be like me, otherwise, if you go during meal times, you'll most likely only be able to sit at the bar or stand outside, watching others eat is really uncomfortable.
- Going to Nongkrong in the afternoon is also good, you can snag a Happy Hour special cocktail [9], and Chill for an afternoon.
- Lastly, the entrance is in a small alley, don't walk past it on your first visit!
- Seminyak's mysterious door [1] reveals a retro Hollywood Speakeasy [2]. Rich coffee aroma, cool contrast!
- The coffee, hailed as "Bali's best" [3], is rich, smooth, and wakes you right up.
- The Birria Toastie [4] is the hidden gem! Tender beef, gooey cheese pulls – pure addiction!
