Rebellion Bourbon Bar & Kitchen Leesburg

First time here and both my fiancé and I loved it. We went for my birthday and really enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was clean and historic. The staff were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed martinis and habanero bourbon drinks: delicious! She ordered the steak frites and I got a burger: both were delicious! We will definitely be back here and even maybe as soon as this Saturday for their brunch!

We had a reservation for 2, but upon walking into the restaurant, no one greeted or acknowledged us. About 5 minutes went by and we noticed a sign that said "Host" pointing upstairs, so my husband decided to take a peek upstairs when finally the initial acknowledgement came from a bartender who rudely called him out and told us to "read the sign" saying there was a private event upstairs (this "private event" sign was not obvious). They could really use friendlier bartenders and a host stand.

My wife and I have been wanting to enjoy this establishment since the announcement of its opening! Being huge Hellz Kitchen fans, Declan was one of our favorites! First, the atmosphere and feel of the place is very inviting and chill! We were a bit thrown off; walking upstairs, we saw it was empty, while the first floor had a few small tables available. When we walked upstairs, the host sat at a table and asked us if we had a reservation; we advised no; when we called a few months ago, they told us they were strictly walk-in only since it was such a small place. But we thought it was odd since no one was sitting at 5:30 pm. He told us they were reservations only, contradictory to what they told us when we called initially, but that was fine. We walked downstairs, and Alicia got us situated

I absolutely loved this restaurant. I sat at the bar and was greeted by very attentive and friendly bar staff. Ordered buffalo cauliflower as an app. It was delicious; spicy with hints of vinegar. The dipping sauce it came with was not needed! We also ordered a BLT with side salad and fish tacos with fries. Both entrees were so delicious. The bacon is the BLT was so incredibly thick and tasty. The fish tacos were so delicious and the green sauce it came with had a hint of spice and was so tasty. The fries were so good, too! I was so incredibly impressed with this place! I will definitely be back!!

We stopped in to Rebellion while exploring historic Leesburg. We were greeted by a bartender and the manager as soon as we walked in. We sat at the bar and the bartender gave us a little history about the building while we decided on drinks. They offered multiple samples as we were deciding. The bar was clean and the food was delicious! I got the rebel yell and my boyfriend got a burger. Both items came out quickly and tasted delicious. They have a full bar so we both got several cocktails. This is definitely a great spot, especially if you’re looking for some historic charm in a beautiful building.
