Score
The Reveler has been inspected 26 times since 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Feb 6, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near three violations per visit.
Looking across the full record, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the recurring theme, flagged 20 times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so The Reveler is doing better than most peers. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
