Revolution Bar in Norwich

It was afternoon tea with a twist very nice, the service was excellent but the atmosphere could have been better only in so much as the music felt it should have been Latin type music and a little quieter as it was afternoon

Potentially unsafe The bouncers here escalate situations, act emotionally, act aggressive, are unprofessional. They also do not wear ID therefore it is impossible to know if they have SIA Licences or training of any kind. They foster a culture of bullying and power-tripping. All this leads to an unsafe environment when they’re meant to create safety. I’m pursuing a complaint but 6 days in haven’t had a response.

Very attentive friendly team. Highly recommended

Good customer service from Steven

ruth was the best!!! excellent customer service and was so kind to me and my boyfriend. she deserves a payrise !!!!

Had a great experience in Revolution for a birthday celebration. No other guests were in the restaurant whilst we were in there so atmosphere was quite low but the music made up for it. Used the spin the wheel on the app for free drinks and got discounted food for being students. Servers were really friendly and just got on with it, despite our group wanting to use various discounts and offers. Will definatly be visiting again in the future!

When we arrived the restaurant and bar were practically empty so we were seated straight away. One of our water glasses had something we couldn’t even figure out what it was in it, however it was not good. We were a group of 5 and we ordered ordered starters and mains, we were sat waiting and eating for nearly 3 hours which is crazy. Alongside this one of our groups starters and mains came out wrong. However our vist was saved completely by Breece (I believe) he was on a cover shift from Revolution Cuba and he was AMAZING! Nothing was too much for him he did everything he could to make our vist better and was just a joy to be served by. He really is a credit to the company.

Wedding anniversary afternoon tea. Booked afternoon tea with a very helpful lady called Rebecca from the sales team. When we arrived we were shown to our table which had been decorated with balloons., there was a wedding anniversary card and flowers for my wife. The food was very well presented and very tasty. Jody was very friendly and looked after us very well. Thank you to all concerned. Paul& Sue

My work colleagues and I attendee the music bingo which was such good fun from 8pm we stated until 11pm. It was such a good night. Great music. 2for1 on the App for cocktails. Drinks were lush! Plenty of seating areas and dance floor. Toilets on either floors. Staff were very friendly. I attended a Hen Do Bottomless Drinks in 2024. This was such good value for money. Wonderful staff who made our day memorable. I had the waffle but suggest something else as the waffle was very small and not the biggest eat.

Fantastic place staff brilliant.food lovley

Been today for a afternoon tea which was different from any other afternoon food 100% staff was doing amazing well do all was very helpful polite and friendly making the event very meaningful thank youb

STAY AWAY!!!!!! We were drinking in this location from 6.00PM. BOUGHT SEVERAL ROUNDS OF DRINKS. Grandson left at 8.30pm for a cigarette AND SUDDENLY staff barred him from re-entering for DRESS CODE!!!!! PREVIOUSLY NO PROBLEM. ! MANAGEMENT and DOOR STAFF TOTALLY UNSYMPATHETIC.DIDNT CARE AT ALL.!!!!!! AWFUL awful AWFUL!!!!!

I'll start with the positive... The food when it actually arrived was pretty decent, nothing spectacular, but it's £2.99. We placed an order on the app at 12:04, the food took 39 minutes to arrive, they weren't particularly busy either. The gentleman who brought the food over dropped some of the food on my Loungefly bag, not great either. I had to ask for the dessert to go as we had to leave. I have to say we've visited previously on a Saturday for drinks and it was great. So maybe just a one off?

Was having with a joke with another girl in the smoking area and was assaulted by the bouncers for no reason even though my hands was up and they asked me to leave and my said okay never Once made any bad way towards the bouncers and they pounced on me for no reason

Booked for their version of afternoon tea - was impressed thought it was a good and different take on afternoon tea. Not the first place I would have thought to go.

The security guard need to be short out. It is really disappointing when you come to enjoy your weekends with friends and the security guard is polling my friend of the Revolution just because he had a cup on. But when we entered the Revolution no one even said anything it was fine after 15 mins come the security gaurd and straight to my friend try to take him out, and other security guards push my friends out on floor and got hurt. Im really disappointed is a second time not happy at all. where is the rule where say that you can't wear your cup on?

I ordered food from here via deliveroo and they sent me a meat burger instead of a vegetarian one. I couldn't get through to them on the phone to correct the mistake so just ended up with no food. Don't order food from here!

My friend and I have tried coming here twice for lunch now. Once was a couple of months ago and again today. Both times the chef has been "running late" so we have had to find else where.

Nice place and great atmosphere. Be aware of what you get charged when ordering drinks !!!!!

Visited this place for the office get together. The upper floor was allocated for the get together. The atmosphere was quite good with dim light. The music was playing in the background. The Food was also delicious. They have good mix of vodka cocktails. Good to visit with gangs.

Over priced, dirty and cramped.

Having a cracking night. Food was surprisingly good. 2 top pizzas and lots of wonderful cocktails

On the Norwich circuit for pubs bars etc.

Had Groupon, Manager wouldn't let us in an empty restaurant, in case it got busy. Very poor attitude. Why sign up to a service and not honour it???

Great friendly service , 2 for 1 on cocktails 🍸 and a £2.99 food menu 👌

My daughter and I were lucky to be gifted a voucher for afternoon tea by my son… afternoon tea with a difference….. Prosecco, slider burgers, loaded fries, jalopeno poppers, chicken stripes, followed by a trio of desserts. Served by the lovely Inez, who was so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was really lovely and the food and drink delicious. We would highly recommend it.

absolutely brill. lovely fresh stream of water . was a brilliant server. They was lovely. ❤️ what a banger night. fell into the toilet though. A bit pongy and needed more justin bieber on the stereo. Was a brilliant atmosphere Xxxxx 🧄

They said a while ago that if I went for their £2.99 meal deal, I could have a vegetarian burger with chips as a choice being as I am vegetarian & I wanted something with chips & there was no vegetarian option with chips! I asked about this tonight because I came with a friend who's having a non vegetarian meal with chips.The server (female) was really nice & said she thought so but when she went to ask the boss, it's the boss (male) who said no.So I just had a soda water & no meal!

Great food, tasty drinks and amazing service. Staff were absolutely lovely!

Brought tickets online and close time said 3 but all kicked out at 2 and guy didn’t even want to see tickets. People walking in for free.

Cocktail making class was great, lovely place, food was good with friendly staff. Highly reccomend

The ‘manager’ was rude and unprofessional. Not management material.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was good but not what we were expecting. We booked afternoon tea for two, but were presented with a selection of snacks. Including a small burger in a bun, a breaded chicken strip, cheese loaded chips and deep fried peppers. The second round was waffles and ice cream, cheesecake and brownies. The strangest afternoon tea we've ever seen and the first afternoon tea we've had that did not contain sandwiches, cakes and bizarrely, NO TEA..! ?? The venue's cleanliness left a lot to be desired too! We can't comment on costs as we used a voucher gifted to us.

Came here for a cocktail afternoon tea to celebrate birthdays/engagement. The staff were so lovely and helpful. Even decorated our table for us after I had informed them of our engagement. Food and drink was fab, but atmosphere was a let down due to it being afternoon. Music was good, but although there was barely anyone in we were placed on a small table next to the toilet. Not a table I would have chosen, especially for a celebration. The table looked beautiful, but was so full of glitter etc that there was not much room for our afternoon tea and drinks, a slighty larger table would have been better, especially with all the decorations on it. Can't fault the staff for service and friendliness, and food drinks were also lovely. Would definitely go back, was just a shame on the 2 parts mentioned (ie, small table and next to toilet).. Otherwise the waiter tried to make it a lovely occasion with his imaginative decorations. Maybe just a little more thought is needed when it is so quiet to keep people on tables big enough for what they are having, and not near the toilet. 3 star is for this and the atmosphere, as there was none, could be due to the time of day thought it was 2.30pm onwards (afternoon tea)

Good service and nice upbeat music.

Great service, food and atmosphere. The team went out of their way to provide the best experience for us all - Even bringing our dog some water outside on a hot day.

Visited with our 7 and 13 year old. Cocktails were good but had to wait over and hour for food, lettuce on sons burger was brown and mayo looked like it had been sat out for ages or was very old, vegan chicken and chips was meant to coleslaw but got served a pot of gravy which partner advised tasted like beef gravy, only a hand full of chips and chicken on regular chicken and chips didn't look very appealing neither did the katsu chicken or sauce. Didn't look worth the amount we were going to pay so didn't eat anything and left just paying for the drinks. Another table also had issues with food being cold. Would return for cocktails but not food.

Ruben was absolutely lovely, explained everything so clearly and made us feel so welcome! ❤️

The ambient is extremely cold with pretty bad music. The drinks are OK. Ariel the bartender looked like she was new but probably the best service I’ve ever got in this place. Only things that needs to improve is the temp. inside and definitely the songs.

This place should be avoided at all cost. Had to pre order our meals. Sat at table waited 45 minutes for starter. This was all wrong and we actually ended up with one order totally different. Then waited and waited for the main. This turned up 1.45 mins after being seated , cold , some overdone burgers with a gluten free roll , very small portion of overcooked chips and a small spoonful of coleslaw. I’m not even gluten free !! The best is yet to come. Over three hours, yes three hours, we still hadn’t got our pre-ordered desserts. Hence why I say this place is abysmal, The ladies toilets, yes ladies, was floating in urine you really needed wellies it was that bad. Dirty glasses, filthy sinks. So bad. Seeing the state of the place I wonder what the kitchens are like. Never would I eat there again.

Good deals. The burger meal is also nice at a reasonable price.

Lovely loaded nachos and grilled Cajun chicken burger and chips, attentive server, chilled vibe, definitely recommended x

Ordered from here through Deliveroo, order contained a vegan burger which actually contained meat, ending 16 years of vegetarianism. Unbelievably upset and disappointed. Order number was #3409

Waited 45mins for food which was not spectacular or worth the wait, just ok Staff did apologise for the wait.

Great place to go out to get drinks with friends! I'd definitely recommend the mean girls cocktail

Absolute 5* bottomless brunch we definitely got value for money will be booking again soon.

We booked to go here at 6:30pm, and got an email confirmation. Turned up and the snooty waitress said the kitchen is closed, and tried to blame us for their error. Don’t let someone book a table if you the kitchen is closed, and at least communicate the closed kitchen on your social media. This Revolution has to have the worst service - and the worst toilets. Really let’s the Revs brand down

hour waiting for 4 burgers q one salad... dirty dishes.. the food was more of a joke

We came today to have lunch and we had to wait over an hour for food. The restaurant was empty and even that they brought us disgusting food. I just regret I didn't make any photo but veggie burger for 11£ just bun and ketchup with little bit of lettuce.. ceasar salad with massive croutons and no bacon, dirty plates. Never again.

Omg this is a must bottomless brunch & masterclass were amazing girls all had fun thanks for doing a great job.

Turned up after our booked table elsewhere was awful - TEN ladies at the door wanting a bottomless brunch, they had like two staff on but they did not turn us away!!! When I tell you Latoya SAVED our day, she was absolutely amazing and even stayed later to accommodate us! Her service was exceptional, there was never an empty glass at our table, food was good considering how many of us just turned up with one nut allergy and a vegan on board. Cannot tell you how grateful I am, the girls and I had so much fun, cocktails were on point! Highly recommend! Someone needs to give Latoya a raise she smashed it!!

Nice service and staff but food was garbage, this is supposed to be a pizza? Rank! Burnt to a crisp. For £15! Reply to your question: we were there yesterday, 31st May between 1315 and 1415 according to my google maps. There was a staff member in a grey suit sat using a PC on the right as you walk in, there was also a girl (may have been a boy??) with a black cap on backwards serving oir table too. There was one other table occupied, so not exactly understaffed. I was given the same type pizza but smaller to compensate for half the burnt original one. By the time it came my appetite had gone down the pan, so they boxed it for me. We ended up giving it to a street beggar. We should have read your reviews before going in, we assumed it would be as good as other Cuban Style bars.....wrong.

Bottomless brunch most drinks never showed up. Got a extra hour so 2 drinks as it took half hour from ordering to receiving. Food was terrible too much sauce on everything. Saw countless waiting staff hanging round the dumb waiter when they could have been clearing tables or sorting drinks.

Absolutely shocking experience place was empty , we ordered a Asian bowl and chicken wrap it took 45 minutes for the food to appear with no apology from staff for long delay , the Asian bowl was like a bag of lettuce thrown in a bowl with no pineapple as stated on menu the wrap again was more lettuce than chicken and no slaw as menu stated when we paid and asked why these things were missing the barmaid just said are you sire that's what should be in there . We have previously been to the Cambridge branch and the whole food and experience was 100 times better definitely one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had .Only gave one star as it wouldn't let me do no stars .

after 45 minutes you are told that there will be another 40 minutes of waiting to have some tapas, a pizza and a sandwich!!!! We are not warned. it's pathetic

Came here for bottomless branch. Staff couldn't do enough for us. Plenty of drinks and food was OK. Would definitely come here again

Great location, we went for a hen party, cocktail making experience was fab we had a great time and the staff were lovely the girl teaching us how to make the cocktails was so nice very attentive and good fun , unfortunately the food was a bit of a let down , Steer away from The Halloumi Asian salad and cheese cake in a mug! The waitress noticed that our salad was not edible and she gave us a free round of shots to compensate which we appreciated. Would definitely recommend the cocktail making experience.

I loved this place 10 years ago! 2 stars for bottomless brunch. We went for bottomless brunch and I would not recommend it. I hate writing bad reviews but I feel quite strongly about this one. Don’t waste your money. The bottomless brunch menu cocktails are different to the regular menu, most of them are undrinkable. They have no flavour? It’s all soda water with 1 shot of flavoured vodka. I stuck to Aperol spritz and added Prosecco for extra flavour! The food was ok, nothing special.

Icky vibes. If you like genetic music and a dj who interrupts the songs to shout at you every 3-4 mins then this is the club for you! Security were helpful and friendly though.

I was out Saturday night enjoying a few drinks with my friends when I over heard a doorman outside the entrance saying that he just grabbed someone by their throat and dragged them out the venue for no reason. this isn't something that someone in his position should be saying. he was a big bold guy, maybe the head doorman as he was wearing a black shirt instead of a white shirt like the rest of the others. this shocked me and my friends hearing this being said by someone who should be keeping us (customers) safe. this has definitely changed our view of this place if this is the type of behavior from the security.

I went for a bottomless brunch with some friends on Saturday, really great atmosphere. Music was at a good volume, loud enough that everyone could sing along and dance. I couldn't drink, and the mocktail options were good! Came out looking nice and had enough options to not get bored of any drinks and didn't feel left out, ordering something new each time. My friend's drinks with the different vodkas didn't look as fancy, same glass each time with just different colours. Service was good because they let you order more than one drink per visit so we weren't left waiting too long. I was surprised they didn't like quite a few of the flavours, said that some of them tasted quite bitter. But luckily the staff would happily let you order more so you didn't have to drink them. Food was great, everyone enjoyed it and we all had different options. The only thing that I felt was slightly unfair was that drinking non alcoholic drinks all night costs the same price, I think those that can't drink but still want to join in with the fun could pay slightly less. I'd go back for the atmosphere to start a night off with fun vibes.

Came for a hen do, cocktail was a nice experience. Wish we hadn't stayed for the food, cold meals, rude staff, took a while to get food. Even had to complain. Manager was accommodating.

We made a booking for a week before Christmas for a large table. The booking was made months in advance, confirmation received etc. We were celebrating 3 birthdays and the end of a serious illness treatment. We are not local so booked minibuses and other tables to make the most of the day. We received a call very close to the date to say they had to cancel as they had no space to accommodate us. No explanation, no apology. In breach of their own terms and conditions. The booking was a week before Christmas so, given the very short notice, we were unable to find anywhere else and had to cancel. Staff member was very rude on the phone and to date I have not received a response to my email asking for an explanation. Would not recommend.

Pretty standard chain bar. Drinks are over priced but it's a nice place to socialise.

Made a booking for a large group in advance for a birthday bottomless brunch. I had also placed a deposit down for the occasion just for the booking to be cancelled 3 days before with no excuse or reason whatsover. Absolute joke ruined the occasion as it was too late to find somethig elsewhere. Go elsewhere if you want your booking not to be worthless and your event ruined. Joke of a company.

Low quality food in rowdy atmosphere. Upstairs may have been better.

Ran out of food and beer!?!?! Will not be going back!

Had an amazing bottomless brunch, 2 hours and good cocktails.

Nothing extraordinary. Didn't live up the 2 for the price of one on ladies night

Had to put 1 to leave review wouldn't even give that, rude staff, wouldn't go in there again if paid me to, 2nd time been in, same thing happened before, tried doing ap get free cocktail, asked staff member politely how to do it because although got file wouldn't appear, rudely got told to do with your phone no help advice, so only left sitting there on reserved table, without drink, I went out had cigarette so spilt group friends up, spoilt night, we left, went somewhere spent money elsewhere

"Beer, babe?" "Definitely, doll." "Ready for Revolution?" "Is the Pope Patholic?" "Nah, don't work, that one, does it? The 'literation's lacking..."

Family party of 22 did the masterclass which we thoroughly enjoyed. AK was very informative and showed us how to make a selection of cocktails. The games added the finishing touch. Well done AK for keeping us all entertained.

Couldn’t fault the masterclass. Tayo was brilliant and as it was a hen party, made it really fun and special with games as well as making cocktails. Plus you get sooo many drinks for the price. We were really pleasantly surprised with it all. We’ll be back!

A nice venue but can get very noisy and not cheap for a cocktail.

Had my hen party there the weekend and it was crap they changed the time a few days b4 was half hour late to start up stairs cock tail making was good but it was very unclean ran out of clean glasses floor was so sticky it was horrible downstairs we had to wait 3 hours for food it came out staggered the burgers were burnt they ran out of desert even though we pre booked

We had a cocktail party booked for a hen the time got moved a few days before then it started half hour late and didn’t even last an hour the party itself upstairs was great and the trainer amazing altho it wasn’t very clean. Sticky floors no clean glasses bar area dirty no toilet rolls ect. we went down stairs for the food was seated by the door where we had people constantly shouting over to us the food took over 3 hours to come out they brought dessert people started to eat it the waitress came back and took them and gave them to another table as they said they wasn’t ours even tho some had been eaten they didn’t have our desserts even tho pre booked.. my sister went for a drink and was told unless she’s stood by the till she will not be getting served as they don’t walk the bar for people they have to go to them.. the service was shocking they offered us a refund and we got £13 each not even half of what we paid.. it was really disappointing as we had been recommended this for a hen party by a few people

Really disappointed with the choice of drinks included on the Bottomless Brunch menu (not having been on one before I didn't know this beforehand) and you only have 90 mins so when the service is slow you don't get to have more than a couple of rounds. There was more Prosecco on the table but isn't what I was drinking! The toilets were in a really bad state and obviously not checked regularly by staff, no hand towels, no toilet roll, and that was late afternoon before it got really busy. Maybe they were understaffed that day as they can't be everywhere but I won't be rushing back. On a positive note the food was great and the staff were friendly.

It's a student bar mainly due to their student offers. Varied choice of vodka at first glance but the shots tasted very weak and watered down for genuine vodka drinkers. Bit cough syrupy liquid sugar more than vodka. One of the few bars in Norwich open until 3am. Food service was very slow (took nearly an hour) and the food quality is pretty poor but the staff were friendly. Drink service also slow. Designed for those on a budget who value price over quality alcohol. No one from the 'vodka belt' or Eastern Europe (or anyone who regularly drinks vodka) will be visiting here anytime soon. More commercial chain than anything. Wetherspoons is shockingly better quality for food and drink which is a shame.

Visited 14th & 15th June for Elton John gig. Was excellent cocktails on point.

I attended a "Masterclass for mixology (Cocktail Crafting)" and was taught by Tom. The lesson was around 2 hours and within that duration we made about 15 drinks, played games and laughed lots! Tom made the lesson relaxed and entertaining. The bar/restaurant itself was quirky and contemporary. As expected, as it was a Sunday, it was quiet and perfect for our class- definitely want to return on a day where there is more atmosphere within the bar! We ordered food after our class and was satisfied with the quality and pleasantly surprised with the range of meals, sides and of course drinks. I highly reccomend the class and bar/restaurant to anyone passing by and/or looking for a new place to try! Many thanks to Tom and the waiters, who were all friendly, approachable and that made an evening of birthday celebrations memorable.

Great service by Jade & a fun Sunny atmosphere. Friendly & polite service with a smile Enjoyed my experience, will be back again

Great service and cocktails thanks clare

Had bottomless brunch for 9 people here recently for my hen do. It was the best experience, I cannot fault a thing! Helpful friendly staff great food, great drinks (more choice than you see on the bottomless brunch menu on website) and never had an empty glass!

I like this place. Nice atmosphere.

Served by Andrew and he made mine and my misses night perfect couldn’t ask for a better man to serve us

Amazing staff love this place so helpful attentive and friendly came for my daughters 21st and it was brilliant

Great friendly place in Norwich for a drink and the bar staff all have a lovely attitude to their customers

What a disappointment. We booked this place as it was supposed to have gluten free options. We were allocated a table under the stairs by an open door. We were freezing. The staff wouldn't leave the door closed. The table was so dirty. The toilets...

A brilliant time mixing cocktails! Lots of fun and great value!

Had an amazing cocktail masterclass for my friends hen party! It was so fun and the bartender Tom was awesome! We will definitely be coming back to visit again soon. Thank you

Ordered from deliveroo. One of the worst things I have had delivered and as a bonus found hair in my curry. 2 years on, never got my free meal that manager promise, and never hot refunded.

Nice place for cocktail as they have so much choice on the menu. Really reasonably priced too. Friendly staff and nice sized bar area to enjoy drink.

Really great staff, made our staff outing a really fun day. Daisy and Dave were great.

Came in for a spot of lunch and was looked after by two staff members. Shout out to Shannon and Traynor looking after me. Will definitely come back again

Fantastic experience making cocktails, buffet food was delicious. Would highly recommend

We booked a cocktail making class with Daisy, we had such a good time, she was so much fun and made us feel so welcome! 100% recommend with Daisy! Thank you 😊

I've never recieved such stunning and impeccable service. Daisy and Bella made the most delicious drinks and they're the hotties of revolution. Will definitely be coming back!!!!

A family party of 7, a disaster of the ages. We all pre booked bottomless brunch, the first set of drinks went well, when it came to the food being over an hour, we inquired and were told ‘on its way’ several times. When delivered we had the wrong orders, most dishes were cold and myself wasn’t even fed. 20 minutes passed and still nothing. My sister, on her 18th, was crying because of the evening, with empty promises and apologies. The ‘manager on duty’ was unprofessional, and didn’t seem to understand what he was doing, lack of confidence, skill and drive, coming to the table with a tale between his legs constantly apologising and not fixing anything. Overall after 3 hours, my sister went home crying, I went home having no food whatsoever, and everyone else extremely unhappy with everything. I did contact them to seek an explanation of what went wrong, however, unprofessionally, again, they have not responded. I urge no-one to dine here.

Fantastic afternoon with really great staff. Big shout out to clare who really went the extra mile took after us all. Thank you clare!
