After much wait, Old City welcomes Revolution House, the new bar/restaurant located on the corner of 2nd and Market Streets which was home to Snow White diner for oh-so, long. I'm happy to report that the owners have put a lot of elbow grease into the new place. Not a trace of the former diner has been left behind, which for those of us who have dined there before know that's a great accomplishment. The only thing that nods at the locations previous roots is the diner-style breakfast that's offered on their menu complete with omelettes/pancakes/sides of bacon.
The two-story spot is spacious indeed, providing a bar on the first and second floors with table seating for dinning as well. The exposed brick walls/wood-planked bars/metal railings/chandeliers and hanging bottles give an array of textures adding much warmth to the environment. The real gem of the space however, is the huge roof deck which faces Market Street and is surrounded by colorful plantings and wall sconces for night time diners.
The beer list has a great mix of draft and bottle selections (any bar that serves Allagash White on draft is alright by me), and the wine menu allows winos to select their choice of glass or bottle (always bottle) for all sparkling/white/red/rosé. And, in addition to the diner-style breakfast, the food menu is all about comfort; burgers/tater-tots/meatballs/pizza. I sampled the margherita pizza, as well as the tater-tots, and to be honest I've had much better of both, but dining al fresco, above Market Street, away from the typical Old City crowd is good enough to keep me coming back.
