Review byLubna Ghayur30/08/2007
The City is not just a place to work, the arrival of Revolution Leadenhall has made it the place to play. And what better way to combine the two, then to open a bar and club - in a bank!

The Venue
The Revolution team have acquired a stunning piece of architecture, which was once a bank, and put a bar and club in it! On entering the spacious building, you are greeted by the Lutyens Bar, which stretches through the length of the building and ensures you’re never far from your next round of drinks. The venue is split over three levels, including a club in the basement where the safe rooms of the bank once were. What’s really spectacular is their exclusive, party room, tucked away securely in the heart of the building, known as the Vault. The Vault is exactly what the name suggests, the room caters for approximately 30 people with it’s own bar and staff.

The Atmosphere
This place is buzzing, and if ever there was a sharp crowd, Revolution Leadenhall has it. Sharply dressed City people work the room alongside those who have come into the City to see what all the fuss is about. The staff are friendly and the bartenders pour one drink after the next. The club is open from Monday through to Saturday, playing everything from indie, funk and electro, to house and punk. The place, the music, the drinks and the people create a distinct and addictive vibe that reels you in and beckons you to return.

If you fancy enjoying some sun, Revolution can even cater for that too, offering you a sunny little haven courtesy of Real Sunlight. If you're looking to organise a private party you can hire the Real Sunlight holiday simulator that emits incredibly realistic sunlight, genuinely making you feel like the sun's beaming down. It's warm, bright and relaxing but best of all it doesn't have any of the harmful rays of normal sunlight, so you can bask to your heart's, and your skin's content.

The Food
They serve fine party food and sharing platters, as well as main courses for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The Drink
This place is all about the vodka, so be sure to check out their tribute in the form of the Vodka Bible. Alternatively, just taste the multitude of cocktails and pitchers that they have on offer. But to experience the true flavour of this bar it’s essential to experience their vodka stick, which is a unique serving of 6 shots of Revolution flavours and infusions.

The Last Word
Revolution Leadenhall has taken the City by storm and given new meaning to the word ‘play’. Once you’ve been, they can ‘bank’ on you returning again and again!
