Prahran club on Chapel Street, known as Revs, with deep house and techno from Friday night until Monday morning.

Revolver Upstairs, known as Revs, is the best-known late address on Chapel Street in Prahran. The building also holds Colonel Tan's Thai Kitchen and the Revolver Lane co-working space. A sale listing for the buildings describes the club as opening after dark on Friday and running to midday Saturday, then reopening at 17:00 and staying open until 09:00 on Monday.

Deep house and techno are the staples, with a rowdy reputation, according to Time Out. RA lists Soothsayer's tenth anniversary party here in November 2026. The founder is returning to Thailand and the buildings were offered for sale, so check the event page before you travel. Not for you if you want a short, tidy night: this is a weekend marathon.
