Revival Bar+Kitchen

Venue review

The musician's read

Revival Bar+Kitchen is a downtown Berkeley restaurant and bar with a recurring live-jazz series. The room is better suited to polished ensembles that can add energy without overpowering dinner and conversation. Jazz groups comfortable balancing musicianship with hospitality should find this a more natural fit than loud or production-heavy bands.
