Revolution Pop Up Bar

Revolution Bar turns a drink at the National Union Building into a crash course in tavern culture, complete with the sort of hands-on diversions that make more sense with a cocktail in hand. The 60-minute experience includes a welcome drink, period-inspired games and activities, plus a themed menu that moves beyond the usual whiskey-heavy approach with seasonal cocktails and spirit-free options. The best part may be the take-home infusion kit, which gives the evening a second act after you leave. You can also try 18th-century calligraphy, contribute to a communal paper quilt and pose for a photo on Paul Revere’s saddle. It’s a deliberately playful take on Revolutionary-era history rather than a straight historical attraction, making it a good pick for a group night out when you want something more interactive than sitting at a bar.
