Then, to top it all off, The Revel Room\u2019s creative and friendly bartenders craft well-balanced classic cocktails while belting out Celine Dion&#8230; So, here\u2019s the deal: weekends, The Revel Room is your typical Wicker Park old-time-y feel bar with a DJ. However, on Mondays, there\u2019s a karaoke session, in which the emcees and bartenders all join in the fun.
