Revolucion de Cuba Aberdeen in Aberdeen City

Came in last night with a friend for some birthday drinks. I’ve been before and it was great.. just not this time. As soon as we sat down we ordered drinks on the app so we could chat.. about 15 mins then they arrived. I then placed another order for the same drinks. 20 mins past and nothing.. another 10 went by we asked someone about the drinks. She wrote down the order, took a photo of the order and time that I had ordered them and said she would get it rushed along. We are approaching 40 mins since I ordered.. we have a table booked for food at 7:30 so I went up to see where they were. Finally after 45 mins we got the drinks then had to down them as we were going to be late for our next table. What’s the point of the app service if you can’t handle it?

I visited revolution de cuba and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience due to what I can only describe as racist behavior, particularly from the bouncers at the door. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that certain patrons were being treated differently based on their ethnicity. While others were allowed entry without issue, I and others of a similar background were subjected to unnecessary scrutiny. The bouncers seemed to invent reasons to deny entry or cause delays, and their tone and behavior were noticeably hostile. When I asked for clarification, they became defensive and dismissive, further adding to the discomfort. It’s disheartening that in this day and age, a place that’s supposed to be welcoming and fun chooses to allow such discriminatory practices. I’ve been to many pubs in the area and never felt this level of exclusion or hostility. Discrimination has no place in a social setting, or anywhere for that matter. I hope the management takes a serious look at how their staff, especially their bouncers, interact with patrons and address this issue. Until changes are made, I can’t recommend this place to anyone who values inclusivity and respect.

Went for cocktail masterclass with uni friends. Staff really friendly and had tons of fun. Got to make our own cocktails and race eachother to see who got the quickest time.

Great night and great idea to get together with friends for a catch up! Both staff Dorinne and Feranmi were brilliant hosts of the cocktail masterclass! Very enthusiastic, inclusive to all in regards to non-alcohol and allergies! Brilliant night 10/10 stars for you both!

Dorinne was amazing she made us all feel really comfortable and we could all have fun and be ourselves when I come again ill definitely be asking be asking for her again as she was absolutely amazing and loved every minute of the experience

Such a good night, thanks so much for the free shot. I’d really recommend the dancing and listening to the music, (I’m not being paid for this 😉😉😉😉)

Dorinne was amazing!! Couldn’t have asked for anyone better! Had such a good time and wouldn’t have been the same without her. Made it so comfortable and enjoyable

For someone who knows about this type of food, it's too comercial.

As I like dancing, I advise all dancers to go there. Top...

Absolutely loved their cocktails, specially the raspberry mojito ( my favourite)! Great service, I was attended by Suzy such a lovely girl. Great experience per overall!!!!! I'm looking into going into their Latin dancing night which occurs on a Wednesday... Really recommend the place!!!

What a great place. The staff is so friendly. Today I came in to ask if they could help me with my baby, and they were so helpful and kind. I will definitely go back for diner or drinks. Thank you!

An oasis in the big city. Good drinks, pleasant service.

Watered down cocktails. And nae cheap

Visited Reveloution de Cuba today. Initial arrival should have raised alarm bells, we arrived to a relatively quiet restraunt and waited about 10 minutes to be seated. We were directed to our table for 5 which was on the smaller side so we asked if we could be moved, the staff members attitude and body language then changed dramatically to a stroppy teenager reminiscent of Kevin and Perry. We were offered two tables in another part of the restraunt which were circular smaller and made the seating very difficult. We the took it upon ourselves to move two square tables together, this prompted the manager to come and investigate, then another manager approached. He asked the problem which we relayed and at no point apologised only said good service was important no matter how busy they were. Once settled the second manager approached us and apologised then explained the specials drinks menu only to finish by telling us we could not have it as it was only available Monday to Thursday, really what was the point. By this time was it should we stay or should we go (thinking of the Clash in my head). Waiting to order our food now. Food arrived, all ok but out of 8 average tapas there was one which was like "breaking glass" the words of one of my fellow diners (blondie now comes to mind, perhaps I should do a mix tape lol) avoid the very over cooked calamari which was very hard and tasteless. I could go into each dish but perhaps that's for another time, it was ok but not outstanding, had far superior tapas both home and abroad Saving grace was the wine was decent enough. We asked for the bill which came very promptly quicker than the food funnily enough. Within minutes the server was back asking if we were ready, we asked for more time which was 5 minutes! Will we be back? Unlikely A great shame as we could have spent a a lot longer here and a great dealt of money. On to another establishment wilth service and attitude that is likely to be better. Very disappointed really! Went on to Revolution (not to be confused with Revolution de Cuba) night and day with customer service, our server was great, advised us of offers of the day which included a Friday and was so welcoming.

As locals, we decided to visit this place for some drinks, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from the start. Upon arrival, we noticed rubbish and used cigarette butts scattered around the patio. The littered appearance was off-putting. When we entered the venue and walked to the bar, my partner and I ordered a pitcher of their sangria, specifically requesting minimal ice. Despite this, we received a jug that was almost entirely filled with ice, making up about 90% of the drink. This left us feeling short-changed and disappointed. The outdoor tables were also dirty and cluttered with empty glasses, adding to the overall sense of neglect. Furthermore, there was no designated smoking area, and as non-smokers, we found it unpleasant to be surrounded by people smoking. Overall, our experience was far from satisfactory. The venue did not offer good value for money, and we would not recommend visiting this place. ---

Danielle was fantastic, we had so much fun and made really tasty cocktails. I highly recommend this place for work party or any night out.

Just been on a works night, leaving do's and a retirement - cocktail making with Danielle, was an inspired choice! Absolutely brilliant time, she's a star 🌟

Great experience with Danielle. Good drinks made fun to celebrate with friends. Cocktails were explained very clearly.

Was served a Madri in Tennets glass

The place to go if you want delicious Cuban food. The service was excellent. They prepared the table side guac amazingly. The drinks were nice and cold. The bar area was so chic...I loved hanging around there that we went twice on our short visit to Aberdeen. Highly recommend!

We were served at the bar by Joe. Delicious cocktails with the widest range. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we decided to stay for tapas. Can't decide if the Spicy Fried Chicken, Pork Skewers or Meatballs were the best. Definitely going back more often

They play ABBA and people barge their way through the dance floor. I'm not going back here to dance Latin dances. Because I drive into Aberdeen, I tend to only drink ginger beer. Prices vary for this throughout Aberdeen. Revolución de Cuba is the most expensive.

Pure Mad Mental ~ Old Work Reunion ~ Incredibly Entertaining 🤘

It's not bad, but they can improve the music maybe.

Been here a number of times but this visit had to be unfortunately ranked the lowest. The food took ages to be served and moreover the place wasn't too busy at all.

I haven't yet tried the food here, but the atmosphere is on a whole 'new level. If you like to dance, I, 100% back this bar up. It's nice and classy. The layout is perfect and the staff are great. A bit pricey but in comparison to most other bars, I guess you pay for what you get.

Great prices, great cocktails but the thing that separates this from the vodka rev is the service! Chuka just gets it! Chuka is what customer service is all about and part of the reason why I’ll be back! Amazing job to him!

The female bar manager here is your typical Aberdonian prick, she clearly thinks she’s something special when in reality she’s the manager of a bar… must say though the door staff that asked me and 7 mates to leave were absolute gentleman about the situation, the manager had told them I was being abusive and when they approached then let me explain what had unfolded and we left without any commotion at all… maybe next time she won’t lie to them and won’t like like a total fool.

Too loud directly in front of the DJ. White wine selection could be better for the price

The food is very disappointing for its price, the chicken quesadillas is plain, the spicy fried chicken tastes fishy. Service is average, the waitress isn’t particularly nice. It’s also not a lot of food for the price, overall bad experience. The environment is very nice tho.

Excellent cocktail making session with Chuks who was an excellent host. Good food and lots of fun. A good selection of gluten free food on the menu too.

If you want a taste of Cuba 🇨🇺 this is the best place to go great food Great atmosphere and friendly staff. We had a great time ⌚ there and a reasonable price

Great atmosphere & attentive & courteous staff. Food plentiful & very tasty. Immaculate toilets, also very accessible for disabled. Ample seating both in side & out perfect for a sunny day. However many of the wooden topped tables in bad state of repair, warped & unstable. Need urgent replacement.

Service was slow, but very friendly place. Food was very tasty and exactly what you would want/expect

Ashley made sure we received the cocktails of our choice (coconut margaritas) on the May day weekend. Very good service from Ashley.

Service is bad. Everything else is great. So many staff but so unwilling to take the incentive to actually serve customers

A lot of remmidemmi, the food was okay

I ordered a drink and they gave me another, even though the waiter showed me which one it would be. They made another one. Worth £30. Much smaller than it was worth. I will never go back to this place again!

Love this place. Food is great and the cocktails are fab. Especially in love with the Espresso rum-tini. They often have awesome offers on too. Definitely recommend for a girls day/night out or a date night.

Cocktail class with Ashley was amazing!!

Had birthday brunch (brunch fiesta), really good service from Calum, had a great time :))

We've just had an amazing cocktail masterclass with Ashley! She's fantastic and put up with our nonsense! 🤣🍹

Loved the music and the drinks.

I went here with a friend, we had cocktails which were great. The staff were very attentive. But the food! Awful. We ordered tapas. We had the chicken tacos, which were so dry it was incredible. Albondigas which were in a bland gravy. Empanadas that had almost nothin in them, they were hollow. Halloumi which was alright but on a bed of uncooked sliced carrots. Veggie nachos that had almost nothing on them, just a plate of tortilla chips. Then I had a brownie which was stone cold and my pal had the pina colada cheesecake which was still frozen in the middle. And it wasn’t cheap. Very disappointed. Won’t be back.

Service was great, the staff were lovely. The cocktails were also brilliant. Just don’t bother heading here for food. We had tapas. Chicken tacos, were super dry. Albondigas were tasteless in a bland gravy. Halloumi was alright. Empanadas with black beans had about 4-5 small beans inside, pretty much hollow. Veggie nachos had almost nothing on them, just a plate of tortilla chips. And to top it off, the pina colada cheesecake was still frozen in the middle, and my brownie was cold. As I say, cocktails great! Atmosphere spot on but maybe dine somewhere else.

Fantastic bar with great food and amazing cocktails. Good vibes only! Big shout out to Russell the general manager he runs a tight ship and is one of the friendliest and kindest men I know. The team are also all amazing and great at their jobs. Great place for events, for meeting pals, for sitting in to do work, for a night out and for salsa 💃 Go check it out!

My husband and I had a great time at Rev de Cuba, the tapas we tried were all delicious and the cocktails were amazing! There were only 2 members of staff working while we were there, which was fine for a while but as it got busier, you could tell they were stressed. I want to say, I was very impressed with how well these 2 handled it! One on the floor, one on the bar, it was a lot of work for them and I really respect that they were transparent with us about how attentive they could be and could tell that is something they usually pride themselves on. Will definitely be returning! We highly recommend!

Amazing band "UNA BANDA" They are the Wow factor of this place ! Love the energy and vibes ✨️

Nie zdążyłem nic zjeść ale byłem tu na imprezie Sylwestrowej - świetny klimat, świetna zabawa, niezapomniane wrażenia

ร้่านใหญ่ มีดนตรี ค้อกเทลเยอะดี

Thursday mid afternoon, not very busy, but clearly understaffed. Waited over 30 minutes after getting table to be served, then another 15 to actually get drinks and food. Require more staff. Saw a table of 3 come in, sit down, wait, then leave. NOT GOOD. Management need to address staff issue.

Cocktail Master Class! Cannot recommend this enough. Something for everyone. Loved learning the back ground and getting to try how these cocktails once began and then compare them to now. Great fun, suits all ages and we were very lucky to have Callum, who was incredible at keeping everyone engaged. Great fun games and left with a new found appreciation for bar tenders- what an absolute art. Thanks again Callum and Rev de Cuba Aberdeen for what was described as the best birthday ever!

I found booking a bit tricky. They didn't seem to take phone bookings only online and they took card details so they could charge if we didn't turn up. It wasn't easy to find prices on the website either and we only found out the lunch deal was off over the Christmas period when we got there, though it might be in the small print somewhere. Otherwise all went well. Food and prices as expected. Not cheap but somewhere different to go, looking out over a quiet pedestrian square.

Tony was extremely nice and a very good server, He also gave us free shots as a plus!! He Made us all feel very comfortable and relaxed through our time at rev

Had a masterclass with Fraser. So much fun, would 100% recommend!

Best spot for after dinner drinks ❤️ both Brandon and Calum were stars, the cutest bartenders in Aberdeen !!!

Whoa! Amazing food and killing cocktails! We got three tapas each and shared them. It was absolutely delicious ❤️ very attentive staff! Highly recommended

Atmosphere was quiet for a weekday night, the food and music was still good! Always look forward to coming here.

You will have a great time, no doubts about that!

Had a lovely meal and drinks with my husband. We had pre-dinner cocktails following by shared tapas and dessert. The staff were so friendly and attentive, especially Julia. This mod one of our favourite venues in Aberdeen.

Only popped in for cocktails on a quiet Sunday night. Turned out they were on special for 6 pound each. Not bad for Aberdeen. Staff were friendly.

I have been to Revolucion de Cuba Aberdeen many times for the last 7 years. Today, I went in for a casual Halloween get-together with my friends. My surprise came when I was not allowed in, apparently because it was full. However, a lot of people were going in at the same time I was refused entry. I understood this as a discrimination. I asked for the manager, and when he came out, he said everyone outside could go in. As soon as he went inside, the bouncer asked one waitress to ask me to leave the entry as I was not allowed in. When asked, there was no explanation as to why I was not allowed in. As mentioned previously, I understand this as discrimination, either because I was dressed up on Halloween or because I am not British and have an accent, which apparently really annoyed the bouncer. I am asking for an apology because this is really distressing.

Really nice atmosphere, food was good and the drinks were very enjoyable. Cool place!

We used to come here all the time for food but have moved away. Unfortunately this was a terrible experience for us - first of 3 of our 5 dishes came and was cold and undercooked and one more came it was undercooked chicken and feeezing cold salsa in the tacos that had clearly been defrosted as it was pouring out with water and then never even seen our 5th dish? After all dishes having issues we finally decided to just not eat and leave. So disappointed as this used to be our favourite lace to eat but it’s definitely gone down hill so much since we last came, it’s sad to see. Also disappointed as by the time we waited for the food is ended up just too late to eat and decided to just head home and it ruined our day out.

Absolutely rubbish. Not to mention overpriced drinks they really need to do something with their staff starting the dj - what the hell? Looks like they hire their friends or cousins who play some ridiculous songs especially on Fridays for the sake of their own fun. The dj would always be on their phone or chatting with whoever and vape, they don't even notice people leave in front of him. Secondly, we had the worst experience in male toilet with the abusive African looking seller, he physically grabbed my husband because he sprayed "too much perfume" after PAYING him. This is rather ridiculous. After the argument we were told to wait outside to chat with security which we did and explained that we are not the people to cause problems and even if we were wrong for spraying 4 pumps of perfume instead of 2 there's no way they can physically grab customers. All we got from security was arrogant attitude saying that our night was over because perfume was actually £5 per person - they were told £2. An absolute clown show the place was literally empty anyways and I can guarantee it won't last long with this staff attitude - staff? Toilet workers - good luck on your carrer in the toilet

Only had a cocktail but was lovely

Excellent tapas lunch, efficient and friendly service. We will visit again!"

Great food and drinks. Nice atmosphere too. Lots more plant based options added to the menu since my last visit, always good to see.

Tenho uma relação amor ódio com este lugar umas vezes vou la e a musica é optima as bebidas são boas outras vezes é o contrário a música péssima, cocktails sem sabor e staff pouco animado. Só comi uma vez no estabelecimento e não tenho pressa para la voltar

The place is great, the food is good quality and the coffee is absolutely delicious. The service was exceptional and a special shout out to Julia, she was amazing and made our visit even better.

Had a great afternoon enjoying the premium bottomless brunch with friends. The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive, bringing cushions so we could be comfortable outside and even offering us sunscreen for the unusually sunny weather! The brunch food was very tasty and the cocktails were delicious. Great value and I'd recommend going premium to have the wider choice of drinks. Big thanks to the team here for looking after us, you do a great job.

Me and my friends came to Revolución de Cuba for a cocktail class and night out and it was amazing! We were served by Becca and we couldn’t have gotten a better person to make our night so special for my friends hen party! She went above and beyond for us and she is amazing at what she does. We then followed the night by live music and a dance it just make the night even better!!

Popped in for a couple of beers. Worth a visit

Excellent. First time here and really enjoyed it. Recommended

Had a lovely meal here, food was fantastic couldn't fault it and staff were attentive and friendly!!

Very disappointed by Revolution. Had to wait 10 minutes to get a pint (which was initially sent to the wrong table) and 40 minutes for food, which tasted ok but really was absolutely not worth the wait for what was basically toasted sandwiches. This was a Sunday night and wasn’t busy, so not sure why I had to wait so long.

This is supposed to be the only Latin bar in Aberdeen and the music is nothing but Latin. I went on a Friday night that was apparently was dedicated to Afro music and there was not announcement on social media. The usual DJ has been playing the same music for the last 10 years. Please, update your mursic playlist with new releases and KEEP IT LATIN

Went for lunch. Great food, staff attentive and friendly. Bit noisy at times but not an issue.

An excellent lunch, great attentive service with an excellent ambience. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and great value, the drinks were also great value and served quickly and friendly by Shannon.

The opportunity to learn salsa on Wednesdays is priceless!

Experienced Sunday brunch with 🍸cocktails good deal for £25. Quiet atmosphere, but to be expected on a Sunday. Good sitting area outside but personally felt it was abit tired looking and could do with updating and a freshen up? Staff attentive as you get 5 cocktails for the Brunch so they kept them coming ! All very good but it's a smaller menu to choose from, which I felt was a good choice for the deal 😀

Popped in for cocktails after dinner, very pleased with the prices, had special deals on, atmosphere was good only problem was they don't take cash!! we didn't have cards on us so had to go elsewhere.

Had voucher for this venue. 5 Tapas and cocktails. Booked and went early when not busy. Cocktails were good and the tapas had a good menu. Food was very good and service fast. Staff attentive. More clubby/pubby than restraunty but was fine.

Great atmosphere with great music and drinks. A little busy and queue at bar can be lengthy but worth it

Kiran (I hope that's the way his name is spelt) was a fantastic server, gave my child some colouring in pencils and a book whilst we had our meal. Flavours were fresh and tasty. We will definitely be back for food and more cocktails 🍸

We initially tried to book like weeks ahead for dinner(8 people). No tables available, but we did walk in at 11pm. Great atmosphere and vibe in the place. They get into the theme of the place. Have had a meal there in the past... no...

One of the best night partying place in Aberdeen. Which I really enjoyed.

Went in for a drink , ordered a zombie 🧟‍♂️ drink , then came to payment handed £10 for my drink , said no sorry card only , so drink sitting there I was like can I give u 10 and somebody or manager even could pay and I’ll give u cash so I can actually pay for the drink,as I only had cash no card well nope nobody had card with cash no even the manager lol I understand it’s no the type of thing they do, but place was dead , poor show , no going back, feel bad staff had no money most likely paid minimum wage n manager most likely keeps tips also as he broke too sad 😞

Went their with a friend and immediately got removed because i was asleep so they thought at the bar. Due to the fact the bar was busier than normal and i spent nearly a hour to even get served, this was normal than busier times,...

Nice place good service the food was ok but they don't accept cash so can't rate any higher there's no excuse for not accepting cash

Door men excellent, no outdoor seating when we arrived. They without asking grabbed us as soon as a table came available and kept any one from sitting on it! Bouncer with the beard- good lad

Amazing atmosphere, staff are amazing and so helpful. Cocktails are so good especially the sundown spritz. Would 100% reccomend.

One of the best bars in town! Wednesdays are for social dancing! Cocktails are good and the overall atmosphere is very pleasant!

Visited two days in a row and both days was served by Julia. What a lovely girl she is, so friendly and excellent service from her. 10/10 for Julia. She deserves recognition. Fantastic lunch deal of burger and a cocktail for £10 I will be back soon.

Food was great, drinks were amazing and service was exceptional.... I love how the staff dealt with an extremely rude customer who obviously just wanted to get freebies. Customer grabbed the foods on the counter instead of waiting to be served claiming it was sitting there for 10 mins (what a load of BS). The person who I think is the manager took over serving these 'men' if they can even be called that 🤣. It was nice to see the team covering for their fellow team member. Good handling!

Door staff were super friendly and helped keep the vibes up! Have noticed some door staff are super serious and looking to put you down but these guys were super enthusiastic and cheerful

Rob was an amazing bouncer, made me feel so safe. Had a lovely night out. Would recommend to anyone.

Did not have a good experience at all. Came for dinner. After 20 minutes at our table we had not even had a drink order taken, my husband went to the bar to order. Finally ordered and drinks arrived. I ordered tapas which arrived 10/15...

Went for lunch. Picked 3 tapas and paella de Cuba. Delicious food and quiet atmosphere. Would recommend

Super endroit pour danser la salsa bachata merengue
