History

Revelry opened on August 16, 2016. Chefs and co-owners Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi partnered with locals Eric and Karen Bowler. Revelry was named Portland Monthly "rising star restaurant". Diane Lam became chef in 2017. In November, the menu was updated to include more vegan options.

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." Eater Portland Alex Frane included Revelry in his 2019 list of "18 Portland Bar Snacks Ideal for Any Night Out".
