There's a new bar in town that serves Belgian beers and some really incredible bubbly from the great state of New Mexico. Revel holds its grand opening tonight at 416 E. Ninth St., with complimentary cheese and meat platters for every guest.
Todd and Celine Getzelman are from the Central Coast, California, and have stacked the wine list with "classic examples" of every genre. Spanish Monastrells mingle with Sonoma County Chardonnays and Sauv Blancs from New Zealand.
The couple wanted to create an atmosphere that's both comfortable and informative, where people can chat and learn about wine with knowledgeable staff. The bar will eventually serve select cheese and meat boards, varying week by week.
The former gallery space is cozy yet modern, with a commanding mural painted by Tucson artist Rebecca Grad. Hours are 4 to 10 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 4 to midnight Fridays, noon to midnight Saturdays and noon to 9 Sundays.
