Revivalist Spirits Distillery

This is truly a hidden gem in Chester County. The aesthetic is an old barn, complete with stone walls and wooden ceiling beams. They distill their own gin and bourbon and the drink menu is truly unique and tasty. And you get a pretty large bourbon drink for the price! The menu is on the limited side, but everything we've tried is great. One of the best burgers you'll ever have, and the pork tacos are another go-to staple. I highly recommend reservations Friday/Saturday to ensure you'll get a seat. Note they do have live music Friday and Sat, so be aware if you're seated in the bar area. It's on the small side, so the noise level will be louder. I would 100% give this a try if you are on the fence.

Revivalist Garden Gin is a rare jewel. The visual and flavor presentations are excellent. The distillery is attractive with indoor and outdoor seating. The service was good.

I love this place because it is local (I'm an Elverson resident) and the drinks are better than you'll get anywhere. Their gin is over the top good. Their live music is also very good. Last evening's experience was less than ideal because the table of 6 beside us was very loud and because I ordered an open face Cuban sandwich which was very greasy. If you're looking for a small place with atmosphere, good music and good drinks, this is the place for you. But, I wouldn't come if you don't want to spend $$ (food and drinks are pricey) and if eating options and portions are important to you.

We had a 7 PM reservation. We showed up at 6:45 PM. We checked in with one of the staff members and they sat us at a table for two right next to the bar at exactly 6:50 PM. We sat there for 25 minutes with menus and glasses of water, but no one came over to offer us drinks from the bar until 7:15. It was frustrating to sit there and be ignored, yet there were people who came in after us and were standing around waiting for a table, and were served drinks from the bar. At 7:15, the server came over and apologized for making us wait so long and asked us what we would like to drink. We decided it was best to just leave. We were not happy with sitting there and being ignored for 25 minutes. Once we left the restaurant, someone from the restaurant came out to our car to apologize to us and offered to comp our meal. That was a very nice gesture, but at that point we were not interested in staying. I cannot comment on the drinks or the food since we decided to leave and go to another restaurant. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice and the gentleman playing guitar and singing was very talented. It was quite disappointing that we did not receive even a basic level of service from the Front-of-House staff.

Wonderful lunch on a July afternoon. Enjoyed the seasonal squash blossoms, and the gimlet was fantastic and strong. The salad was not as seasonal as I'd hoped (canned artichokes and olives), but was delicious. Service was impeccable and the atmosphere was calm and welcoming.

This was a delightful experience all around. The setting is an authentic rustic vibe out in the country. My family all enjoyed their meals and the cocktails were delicious. We couldn't leave without learning more about the distillery itself and the manager was super obliging in showing us the production area as well as trying samples of several products. Their whiskies are all tasty but the gin was a revelation. Normally I avoid gine but their botanicals make a giant difference with no hint of juniper anywhere to be found. Definitely worth stopping again for their special edition spirits that you can't buy at the local FWGS.

The owners need to change the time of their last reservations for dining. I made a reservation weeks before for Father's Day, Sunday @ 4:45. When I called the day before to verify and to ask if we'd have time to take the tour of the distillery the girl said we could either come early or do it after dining, that it didn't take that long. Never was it mentioned that they close the kitchen at 5 nor that they close completely at 6 pm. We arrived about 10 mins late (our fault) drove out from Philadelphia-50 minute drive, and when we came in we were barely greeted and overheard the manager say something about tell the chef the reservation is here. We were seated in the distillery room and immediately handed menus because “ chef leaves at 5 “ by 2 different people. The waitress came over and we ordered an appetizer and then stood there until my daughter's boyfriend said “I think she wants our entrees as well”, so we quickly chose. It was clearly uncomfortable. However, the food was very good so we were thankful for that.

The service was outstanding, friendly, informative and attentive. The atmosphere was excellent and the gentleman playing guitar was excellent. Excellent quality on the drinks as well!

Love the atmosphere. Wait staff is friendly and delightful. They seem to always have a very limited menu. As an example the only option for protein to add to a salad is salmon. They had no chicken in the entire restaurant or shrimp or any other protein. While the salad was good, it just seems odd that you can absolutely not get a piece of chicken in the restaurant at all. 

Drinks are a nice healthy pour, and delicious. Entertainment is varied and well chosen. Food is good, service as well. While you can sit at the bar, our preference is the dining room right off the bar, as you can still hear the entertainment yet can enjoy the company of whoever you're dining with.

Beautiful setting, great music that wasn't too loud. We had a burger (worth it!) and the Brussels sprouts, done with pomegranates and absolutely delicious. The best may have been the slightly spicy hummus!

Flatbread was yummy. Brussels sprouts were delicious. Not too many vegetarian options. Service is a very inexperienced and less than graceful team. Would recommend hiring an experienced and seasoned personality to complement the whole experience.

Excellent cocktails -Cheryl knows how to maximize the experience of the Revivalist spirits. Great music from the live guitarist. An overall great experience. , and with the 40 minute drive.

We love it here so much, the food is so delicious and the drink pours are genorous. The service is very friendly and its never crowded. The allure and atmosphere of this converted barn is a must visit!
