Interested in going to Club Revel in West Midtown? Here some Google reviews about the nightclub:“Nightlife at it’s best! When you first walk into that club you’d be in awe of how everything is laid out to make you feel comfortable. The Long Island iced tea there is amazing as well!”
“This is a world-class first-class venue with an excellent light show and definitely an upscale feel I love the fact that you can run into any and everybody from celebrities athletes to your neighbor.”“Visiting from out of town. Had a pretty good time. Found them on eventbrite cause we were looking for something to get into. Parking closest to the club on the street was $20 & $40 for valet. We just parked a little further up the street and paid nothing. The lounge itself was posh, nice design, the DJ was jamming. The audience is so different now going out. People don’t really dance. They just stand around looking at each other and their phones. Drinks were a bit pricey. The seating is a little interesting. You can basically sit anywhere up until a waitresses or someone asks you to move because someone bought the table/sections.”Club Revel in Atlanta: What It’s Like Inside
