TIME TO REVEL UP!. I go to a concert almost every weekend…

I go to a concert almost every weekend as is my wont. I've seen a lot of music venues in my travels. I worked in Deep Ellum for a while, so I've seen things... This past Saturday I went to see my friends band Even It Up - The Ultimate Heart Tribute Band at a place I've never been to but was really impressed with it and I'm gonna tell you people about it.

The Revel Patio Grill Frisco is a little out of the way for me, and many of you. I mean, it’s in Frisco Texas. It is, in my opinion however, one of the better music venues I’ve been to. They do all the things a venue should, but they do it really well. As soon as I walked in and showed my ticket, I sat at the bar and got a drink. One of my only gripes is that they did not have Lone Star. Yet they had a Lone Star sign on the patio. That was peculiar. But I got a different drink and the barkeep was really friendly.

I’m used to literally having a beer thrown at me and then told to move along, punk. The staff was very helpful and even asked if I was hungry because they have food. It was like going back to mom’s house. ☺️

I didn’t order anything to eat because I’d just shamed myself with McNuggets before arriving here, but from what I hear the food is good.

Going out to the patio, it's a really nice area with a bar out there as well. They have plenty of outdoor seating and they even had mist fans on because it was unacceptably hot outside. They did, however, play awful rap trap nonsense on the patio. I was impressed how well the sound from inside was blocked though, because it was LOUD inside. I remember I was sitting inside and looking at a few people with earplugs in and thinking "Earplugs? What is this, amateur hour??" Then I realized it was really loud and I'm the amateur apparently. But outside you heard nothing, which was impressive. Well, except the awful lazy slurred speech over electronic high hat, which seems to be the goût du jour these days for some god awful reason..

Back inside I checked out the toilet. By the way, I’m ALWAYS going to check out the toilet and tell you how it is. All you people telling me not to, stop telling me not to. I won’t stop. I can’t stop! I’m gonna tell you about the toilet and I’m gonna tell the truth. You don’t want the truth you go somewhere else!

This toilet was nice. It wasn’t immaculate, but this is a live music venue. Understand that for music venue standards, this toilet is outstanding. You have lots of people getting sloshed and going in and out of the toilet to miss their target, stumble into partitions, and do speedballs at live music venues. The fact that the toilet isn’t physically on fire is a miracle. I was happy with the toilet here.

The show went on until around 1am and the entire time, barmaids were running back and forth taking drink orders and making sure everyone was good and asking if we needed anything else. The barmaids were really cute and the barkeeps were much better looking than me. It was great. They were attentive and courteous as well.

I have to say it was a really good experience and it didn't hurt that the band kicked ALL the asses. This place had everything I like. Good drinks on tap, a full menu until midnight, it was chill and unpretentious, attractive drunk dancing ladies I was too cowardly to approach, an awesome patio area, and they're open late! Check the place out next time you're in the area. They always have cool shows. Next Saturday is a Ratt tribute I'm sad I won't be able to see. I'm gonna be at Legacy Hall being all NO-NO-NOTORIOUS NOTORIOUS... 🎸❤️
