Revolucion De Cuba in Manchester

Good service and atmosphere. Average quick serve food.

Great venue & atmosphere but expensive drinks and extremely arrogant/unprofessional security personal. Praetorian security. Avoid

Great venue, nightclub downstairs with excellent atmosphere. Drinks are expensive and they have some extremely rude security personal (13-11-24). Praetorian security - Avoid.

Cute bar with good happy hour BUT the absolutely charmless bartender stood around snapping bubble wrap the whole time. Highly annoying to listen to for an hour

Now, this rating is based on 3.30pm on a Friday when it's quiet with no music. Once this place gets going, it's a solid 5. However, I have to say that I've often gone for the happy hour cocktails and been disappointed with the sugar overload. I'm not convinced that there is much alcohol in them, and they are just a concoction of colourful sugary syrups. It also took quite a while to get served despite there only being about 6 customers.

I was having fun until I got next to exit to take a call. Bouncer told me to step back what I did and another one started just apply physical force on me. I was kicked out basically because of a rude bouncer. I tried to get my coat back but another guard kept telling me to shut up. Insane guard ignorance

James was a super friendly bartender!! Super kind and answered any questions I had about this amazing venue :)

James is such a great bartender!! Very friendly and great experience😊

MJ was very polite and has good coustomer service abilities. Had a great day Surely, will be happy to get served from MJ😊

Located just near to the Great Northern Square this is a terrific bar that does very well indeed. This latest visit was early on a Thursday evening and it was still packed and had a cracking atmosphere. I'm not sure if it was happy hour or not but the cocktails were flying out And everybody seemed to be having a terrific time. Despite it being busy we still managed to get served quite quickly and although it isn't the cheapest place it's probably worth it for the atmosphere. It is at its best when it plays the traditional Cuban music rather than the disco stuff that was on when we were in and hopefully that will be on more often.

Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. Nathan was very attentive. Highly recommend 👍🏻

Great atmosphere and great music everytime I come. All staff are so lovely and attentive, especially Orla. Live bands sooo good and cocktails are delicious!

Lovely cocktails and lovely atmosphere! 10/10!!

Lovely atmosphere, staff very attentive and friendly! Cocktails were amazing!

Great food and cocktails, service fantastic

Came for some after work drinks and was served by Ola! Very warm and welcoming and made sure she checked back in with our group frequently. Will be back for sure!

Absolutely despicable behaviour from arrogant door staff who think once the uniform is on get to treat people like crap! And members of your staff. So much so i have put a complaint in re their behaviour and reading several other comments on here, we aren't the first to experience such power tripped door staff. You need to get rid of them they aren't fit to be amongst the public for what they did, they are dangerous. I have sent an email also direct to yourselves, i hope this will be dealt with rather seriously than how the disrespectful members of staff that just stand there laughing with clip boards, again that think they are above the general public when clearly they are not. All need sacking for their behaviour. I await a reply back from a manager.

Someone decided, I can’t go in, without any explanation, just because he that decided… never come back.

Great service. Good food. Lunch special is a great deal.

already complained on official website but early hours of this morning at 12.50 bouncer on right hand side near to the road stopped me and 2 others on entrance after queueing for half an hour and his reason was you are 3 white lads dressed inappropriately with no women. blatant racism and should be held completely accountable. won't be going here ever.

Great place to eat. Lots of flavour.

Did go there for the bar/music and it was super fun. Nice ambience and great music, not too much time waiting for drinks. Toilets are a little small for the number of people attending and drinks (cocktails) are expensive but good.

Came in for cocktails & tapas before the burlesque show last night and was served by Rosie, wonderful service and fantastic food!!

Great food, brilliant service, highly recommended

Do not go to this bar. Mobile phones stolen. CCTV awful. Management don't care and are fully aware of this problem.

This is a descent place, good space and atmosphere, sadly not much Latin music been played when I was there, perhaps was the wrong day! They had live music which was good, singing pop music sadly not Latin beet! Also was asked to pay as soon as I finish my food which was a bit odd! As if I was gonna run with the bill!

A nice Cuban bar with lots of activities. I like the live band, Wed and Sunday parties and just spend time randomly on Fridays.

We went for bottomless brunch which was really good fun. We did the premium which I do think is needed as a lot of the better cocktails were on that menu. The food looks like a small portion but it is actually yum!

Nice place to have a dance and a night out with friends

Its supposed to be a spanish music, but was no spanish music at all

Great music, two floors, amazing atmosphere

If you wanna party. Go to Nottingham.

Me and two of my friends phones got robbed here. Not helpful with investigation. Personally thinks it’s completely organised

Horrible environment, aggressive staff. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

Abusive and discriminatory bouncers.

Live music was fantastic. Great to see on a Monday. Great service. Thank you

Had a hoot. Great cocktails, good beers, great time.

Lovely place with lovely staff and good food.

I visited Revolución de Cuba last night with a group of friends, and we were extremely disappointed with the experience. Despite being dressed in smart-casual clothing, we were turned away by the doormen, who claimed our outfits weren’t suitable. Ironically, we saw others entering the bar in much more casual attire, including trainers, without issue. We were completely sober and respectful, but the doormen were incredibly rude and dismissive, making us feel unfairly judged and unwelcome. It’s disappointing to see such inconsistency in standards, as well as an outright lack of courtesy toward potential patrons. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a fair and friendly night out.

had a not-so-great experience. The men's toilet was a mess. The first cubicle's lock was broken, and the second one was so dirty, I couldn't even use it. And this was the state of the toilets from 11 am to 7 pm! Also, they don't accept cash at the bar. What's up with that? Cash is still legal tender, right? And to top it all off, the place reeked of sewage. I only gave it two stars because the coffee wasn't too bad. But clearly, this place is not for me.

Bouncers said that I was too drunk to enter- I’d had less to drink than the rest of the party I was with and was more sober than any of them. Have absolutely no idea what their gripe is about.

Great fun , afternoon tea was lovely. Staff were great .

An amazing place last week! We were so glad we stumbled upon it before attending a gig at Albert Hall! The vibe was just so cool! Lovely friendly and assertive staff! Delicious food! Loved it! Shall certainly return or visit the Bham venue. I can highly rate this place!

I don't like going out in Manchester because I always say it's a little bit too much for me but I can quite happily say that place the atmosphere the service was literally top-notch it look like everyone was enjoying themselves the entertainment was great and that is how it should be

Emily makes a banging old fashioned

Bouncer very disrespectful calling my daughter’s friend a sket. Indefensible. Reading the reviews on your security it would seem that it’s a pattern of disrespect. Appalling.

We were denied entry to the venue due to our skin color with no apparent reason .We were pulled off the queue coz we are black. I was pulled out of the queue and the security guard said I should not be looking at him and I am not welcome to the club.It was a humiliating moment as frogged in front of my friends and we were all told to leave.No one else was pulled off .I told him I would report him and he said I should go ahead.

We were 4 black people on the queue and one of our friend was pulled out of the queue and we were asked if we are not getting in without him we should leave with him. Reason being the guard insinuated that our friend looked at him. It was so humiliating as we were visiting from different city

Called in for a few drinks. Had some great live music, drinks and atmosphere

Expensive here but less crowded than Albert schloss

Really bland food for the price. Some of the products are an insult to the name.

Booked a table at 5. 15 and ordered drinks within 5 mins of arriving..... Ordered food within 15 mins of arriving after flagging down a waitress, drinks arrives 20 mins after ordering. Watched 2 other tables be seated and drinks arrive and food arrive. Chased food 55mins in to be told a few mins more..... They actually forgot us and should have been honest. Food arrived 1 hour and 15 after being seated, we only had the table for 2 hours. Food was OK but then whacked a service charge on the bill. Bit cheeky if you ask me especially when there was no apology. We were late then for out gig at the co-op gutted! You asked for me Email so that you could respond directly and its now been 3 months and i still have had no reply!!!! All for show, your reply was it????????

Great lively venue, decent drinks prices, customer service excellent. Security team are 5*

We visited for afternoon cocktails and finger buffet using a Virgin experiences voucher from last Christmas. It was a rainy Sunday afternoon, a lot of empty tables. Service was very good and attentive. A Cuban style band was playing. Food very good. We paid for two extra cocktails each £24 in total.

We went for our friend's birthday. Absolutely loved the food, and there was a wedding (we think) on at the time, so the atmosphere was brilliant. Highly recommend going here.

Fab food .nice drinks .great atmosphere Disn't want to leave

Revolucion de Cuba is located next to the road in the center of the city. A very spacious and beautifully decorated interior space and a huge bar, which is extremely important for evening outings. The club is quite popular, which can be seen from the evening queues to enter the club itself

Incredible night out, range of cocktails to try, it's a little expensive after the 2 for 1 ends, but the live entertainment is always amazing, the band are great! Really love the food here and bottomless brunch is good value 😀

Bouncers are very disrespectful… bouncers working on the night of 17/09/2024 very disrespectful to our group of friends entering after attending event in the city.

First time here. The food was lovely and great music although a bit loud. 👌

Come here most weekends on Saturdays with friends. Saturday the 14th sep, I came here with my girlfriend, we’d been inside for a few hours, I had a stamp etc. I left to nip shop and get some cigarettes while my girlfriend waited with her mates. I attempt to get back in at around 1am, and a bouncer who I can only describe at the shortest and youngest bouncer there accused me of jumping a fence to get in, even though I had a stamp and was on the outside. Obviously logic doesn’t work with this chap. So obviously ended my night there, and I don’t even drink alcohol so they can’t exactly say I was drunk! A side note - this club used to be really good with a balanced audience. It now seems to be predominantly men who are in their 40’s on their own. I’ve spoken to girls who have refused to return due to sexual assault on the dance floor. Shame to see a good place turn into this. Will not be returning.

Great place with good music and nice food

Big thanks to Tom on 13.09.24 - excellent customer service

Had a great time, cocktails were pretty decent too

Was being treated for a meal at the venue by a University Professor who happens to be good friend of mine. We had coffees followed by a bite to eat upstairs where an excellent range of live Latino music was being played which enhanced the overall ambience. After the meal and drinks the professor suggested we go to the venues basement salsa dancing classes where the professor displayed his amazing salsa dancing skills with the DJ playing appropriate music. Being too timid l didn't join in but enjoyed watching the crowds amazing salsa dancing skills.

Always a good night here. Wide array of alcohol which suited our group as we have mad needs at times.

I was expecting a Cuban restaurant with similar themed music played in the background. Instead I found that this is not a restaurant. It is a club that serves food. Stop advertising this as a restaurant.

Love salsa night. Such a great vibe

Was served 2 pints that were disgustingly off to the taste... tried explaining this to the barmaid. She then proceeded to pour the same pint again?? - Which would also have been just have off as the first - so what was the point?? When i alerted her i did not want the same flat pint, she claimed i was shouting at her and to lower my voice. A wholly unprofessional service. After much deliberation, she finally gave me two other pints, with a face of digust. Avoid Avoid Avoid

Really enjoyed our afternoon tea there 👍

Worst club I have ever seen all because of the security guards

I am writing to express my extreme disgust and disappointment with the behavior I encountered at your venue recently. As a space that displays the LGBT+ colors, I expected a welcoming and inclusive environment, but my experience was unfortunately the opposite. Upon arrival, my friend and I were subjected to mocking laughter from the door staff, reminiscent of bullying behavior. This was particularly hurtful as a queer person visiting your venue. Once inside, I noticed three or four bar staff standing together, looking over and laughing. It was only after waving them over that we were served, and even then, their attitude was dismissive and disrespectful. My friends and I were the only Asian patrons present, and to our dismay, a Bhangra song was suddenly played amongst pop music didn’t go with the theme of the venue or music played through the night completely random. This prompted others in the bar to turn towards us and perform their own versions of Bhangra, which felt like a mockery of our culture made us feel extremely uncomfortable and targeted. I expected better from your establishment and urge you to address this inappropriate behavior with your staff. Everyone should feel safe and respected, regardless of their ethnicity or identity. I look forward to your response and to seeing how you plan to rectify this situation. Revaluation De Cuba, if you are painting the LGBT+ inclusivity Colour’s on your windows educate yourself and staff, of what that actually stands for and means.

Went out with some friends on a night out. We had such a good time. The atmosphere is brilliant. Definitely recommend.

Outstanding customer service and what a night thanks guys and well done to the hole team for making us feel so welcome.

Being refused entry because I’m wearing specials trainers

It is a fantastic place to visit once the night is in full swing. Music is great, and they regularly have a brass section, and salsa dancers come out through the night. There is an old guy in there who is there very own hype man. We went as couples with our daughters who are in their 20s. The girls did say they felt a little intimidated at times by some of the guys who were in there. I even had to tell one guy to calm down as he was grabbing girls, whether with partners or not. However, security staff are constantly present and friendly enough to approach should you have any issues

The food was so good . The live music was so much fun . Spent 2 hours there with a party group . Was an amazing atmosphere

Absolutely brilliant place. Our server went above and beyond for a birthday meal. Food was delicious and the live band were great. We had a great night and will be returning. Thankyou!

Service was exceptional, the staff went above and beyond for our large party. The atmosphere was brilliant and the food was so tasty. Would definitely go back again. Thankyou so much to all the staff and especially to those who made my friend feel very special for her birthday

We went in for afternoon tea. Food was fantastic, cocktails were great however personally due to the number of people on bottomless brunch where we were sat the place was so noisy you couldn’t enjoy the live music as all.. otherwise would have been an incredible afternoon.

Went for tapas and cocktails, really good food 👍

Wonderful food, drinks, service and atmosphere.

Great place, good prices, and amazing food and cocktails

Really hot on the underground floor .

It was really great . I enjoyed it.

Great place great food. Nachos were a bit stale and cold. Usually other places for same price they are a little crispier and come out warm.

Nice, chilled vibe of a day, staff are lovely

I have been assaulted by 3 of your security guards I am disgusted with how a group of women have been treated for no reason. Your Manchester security guards are aggressive, violent & disrespectful. I have never been violently touched like that in all my life. I am very concerned people like that have been hired at your venue. People aren’t safe in this bar.

Okay place. Staff have no backbone. If you have a disagreement (or if you don’t) the shift leader will appear without due care on the word of her junior member of staff and inform you that you must leave the establishment immediately). Embarrassing really.

Disrespectful bouncer - can't wear shorts in summer?

Very unhappy with the service, bouncers picking up on people without a reason

Hi, you need to really look into the security staff. It was supposed to a big event for us but the security team ruined it.

Always a fun experience here. Lots of good music and dancing

Huge bar 2 floors loads of gorgeous clientele

Came in for a work meal and Jaden gave us the most phenomenal service, top man!

If you have a bad stomach, the sour food here can whet your appetite. By the way, why can’t I use Liba’s 5G after I put it in?

Nice atmospheric place. Just in time for the party. In the very center of Manchester, parking is a problem. Overall positive. I recommend

We visited Revolucion de Cuba on Saturday with gift vouchers which were bought by my partner for a Christmas Present. Unfortunately our experience was extremely disappointing. We were shown to our table and then waited around 20 minutes to be asked what we wanted to drink, and then another 10/15 minutes to get our drinks. When the food came which was a Cuban Tapas, it was absolutely stone cold and clearly had been plated up well before the dishes arrived at our table. For some reason, we also received the desserts (churros/pastel de nata etc) at exactly the same time as the main course. I am most certainly not a "serial complainer", but our experience on Saturday afternoon was really disappointing and not at all what we were expecting. I felt sorry for my partner in that she bought my Christmas present for Afternoon Tea at Revolucion de Cuba and it did not meet mine or her expectations in the slightest, which I assume came at a relatively expensive cost. We decided not to comment whilst in the establishment, but after we had left, immediately after we had not touched most of the food we had been served became very frustrated by what had taken place.

Went on a trip to the UK and decided to stop here because a local recommended it and encountered a very racist atmosphere towards my family and I. If you are a person of color I would NOT recommend. Completely unacceptable as a business.

The bouncers at this place are very disrespectful and love to abuse their power. My family and I are visiting Manchester for a couple weeks from Texas and when we first arrived to this location, one of the bouncers (pictured here) looked at my ID and saw that I was from Texas. He asked if it was real and if I was really from there and I said yes. Right after that my cousin begins to sing a song where the lyrics say “Houston Texas Baby”! This bouncer proceeds to yell at her and say that she’s not allowed to sing that because we are in Manchester. My cousin disagrees with him but then we make our way inside. We end up leaving after a bit and then come back later in the night where they denied us entry. The bouncers reasoning was because he claims that my cousin is “disrespectful” because she sang the previous song. He stole all the other bouncers for letting us in because we sang a song about houston texas in manchester. Now that sounds a bit stupid and ridiculous to all of and we thought he was joking. But he was very serious. I am not sure where this place is finding their bouncers from but next time you hire someone to keep the club secure, you should hire people who actually keep the area safe from dangerous people. Not some girls who were just wanting to have a fun night out. The amount of times we have been forcefully grabbed and followed by creepy men in this club is insane and that should be this clubs number 1 priority. DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE DENIED FOR STUPID REASONS.
