"Revolution House’s second story features an outdoor deck, umbrella-topped tables, and greenery. It’s a great stop for a local draft and upgraded bar food, including burgers and wood-fired pizza, as part of a tour of local historic sites — the Old City restaurant is set in a former Quaker Friends Meetinghouse that dates back to 1798." - Ernest Owens
"Apparently back in the 1700s when most of Old City was built, rooftops weren’t quite as hot a commodity as powdered wigs were, so you won’t find too many of them in the area. One of the only exceptions is Revolution House, a second-floor “rooftop” that’s basically just an elevated dining room, but it’s the best place in the area to hang out with a few beers and some bar snacks when the weather is in that 10-degree range that’s actually pleasant. The views aren’t exactly panoramic, but that really just means there won’t be a ton of tourists asking you to take their picture." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"The Jersey tomato has a spot on the Revolution House menu as part of the savory Rev House BLT. This popular Old City spot offers its take on the original BLT sandwich by giving it a Jersey twist. The filling sandwich features flavorful bacon, crisp lettuce, creamy parmesan aioli, and the star of the show — ripe, juicy Jersey tomatoes. Top it all off with a side order of hand-cut fries and you’ll be thinking about this delicious dish for days to come." - Kristen Kwiatkowski
