Revolver Upstairs, known locally as 'Revolver' or 'Revs' or 'Revvy' or 'Uppy', is a live music bar and an elite nightclub located on Chapel St, Prahan in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The venue regularly hosts performances from electronic music artists, especially the techno scene.[1]

It is one of Australia's most famous nightclubs. The venue is in-part known for its 24-hour weekend license,[1] and so is notorious as a common location for a 'weekend bender'; with 72-hour continuous benders being a feature of urban legend about the venue.[2][3] Ordinarily, the music is interrupted during Saturday midday to operate as a Thai restaurant; after which it operates continuously until Monday morning.[4]

Revs is a somewhat notorious venue in popular culture, in part due to rumours surrounding what occurs inside the club.[3] Some of these rumours are disputed by the venue's managers as urban myth, and Vice has reported that the rumours are inaccurate.[2][3]
