History
Revelry opened on August 16, 2016.[2][3] Chefs and co-owners Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi partnered with locals Eric and Karen Bowler. Revelry was named Portland Monthly's "rising star restaurant".[4][5] Diane Lam became chef in 2017.[6] In November, the menu was updated to include more vegan options.[7]
In June 2020, the owners announced plans to close permanently, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] Revelry had attempted to operate via takeout during the pandemic.[8]
Reception
In his review of the restaurant, Michael Russell of The Oregonian summarized, "Some eaters might find Revelry's fusion take on Korean cuisine to be too entry-level -- the menu has more in common with Tasty N Alder's Korean Fried Chicken bowl than it does with restaurants in Beaverton or Seoul. For those less familiar with galbi and dukbokki, this won't be a problem (and it doesn't stop much of the menu from being delicious)."[9] Eater Portland's Alex Frane included Revelry in his 2019 list of "18 Portland Bar Snacks Ideal for Any Night Out".[10]
