Revolucion De Cuba

Good place to go out and enjoyed lovely rum based cocktails, especially when the 2−4−1 offer is on (can be a little pricey otherwise…)!
It is usually very busy during the weekend and therefore hard to get a seat. It can also be noisy so not the best place to catch up with friends probably.
Tapas are also nice and they also do offers on them so check on their website if you want to save a bit of money!
They have live music and a night club downstair (never been).
I’ve also tried their rum masterclass which is ideal for biryhday party, stag/​hen do! It’s organised downstair where you have a private bar. We had a very good time and I managed to make a pretty disguting cocktail… we got the option which included tapas afterwards. Portions were massive and we really struggle to finish them, especially after few cocktails full of sugar!

Who doesn’t love Rev de Cuba? I recently tried their new brunch menu, good choices and pricing. Love the avocado brunch, healthy yet filling and delicious.
Also a fan of the cocktails (obviously) but not the sore head the next day.

This place in fairness is a good night out, it stands out from your regular Revolutions with samba dancers and live bands. The problem however is with the bouncers.
If you’re in a group of more than 2 lads you may as well save your time and not bother queueing up. They also get heavy handed over not very much.

Enjoyed cocktails here with a large group of friends. Great selection available and large bar meant good service times.
Live band ignited a lively atmosphere and good vibes.

Great place for cocktails and music — been a few times now and always has a brilliant atmosphere. If you’re lucky, you’ll visit when the band are playing too!
My most recent visit was on a Friday night with friends. The place was packed and whilst it took a while to get to the bar, it was worth it. Really tasty cocktails (strong too) with a wide selection available.
The music on a Friday night was brilliant — the DJ was mixing classic tunes, modern hits and salsa songs so diverse appeal for all ages. Dance floor was packed! A great place to start the night

I really like this bar and have been quite a few times.
They have happy hour Monday to Friday 5 – 7 they have lovely cocktails and a great veraity. It gets really busy Fri and Saturday so get thete early if you want a table.
They have live music on at the weekend and that’s really nice something really different. I prefer to go on a Sunday afternoon here as it a lot quite and chilled.
Defiantly a place to go.

Great venue, friendly staff, big open space to eat or drink.
Gets very busy at happy hour which is 5 – 7 mon to fri.
They do great cocktails and there all 2for 1 at happy hour which we made the most of.
Highly recommended

‘Revs de Cuba’ is an excellent bar just off Deansgate. The main theme here is RUM (they also do beer and other drinks though…).
As soon as you walk in you get into the party atmosphere with live music often being played — everytime i’ve been in there has been some form of entertainment going on… When it isn’t on the ambient music is pretty good though.
They run a happy hour most days which is great value with cocktails being BOGOF. My favourite is the Zombie which is served in a tiki mug which is cool. I’m not sure if they still do this but on Sundays you can get tapas at BOGOF as well which means LOTS of food… The normal prices, however, are still reasonable value and on par with the rest of Manchester.
It can get busy at weekend with people often queing up to get inside so plan ahead if you are thinking of coming to this great bar.

Go here regularly for their cocktail happy hour! Lots of really delicious rum based cocktails that can’t be beaten with the 2−4−1 offer!!! I can’t get enough of their pina coladas :)
The bar itself has a great atmosphere and always seems to have a good crowd!!!
Food-​wise i’ve eaten here once, the food wasn’t overly amazing but would definately give it another go!

Looking for somewhere new to go for pre-​dinner drinks, we decided to head into Revs de Cuba. It being a Tuesday in the dead space between Christmas and New Year, it had a good atmosphere, but also some free tables and space at the bar — a commodity when the weekend kicks in.
We found a spot at the bar and had a look over the menu, which had one or two new additions since my last visit, plus some ‘festive’ specials.
Again, without realising, I had the raspberry mojito, which was nice and light. As it was during happy hour, I had the pleasure of enjoying two of these cocktails for the price of one. At around the £8 mark, this isn’t exactly cheap, but we’ve come to accept this as a standard price.
Although we were lucky with the service, others weren’t so, and we did witness one or two parties of four wait 10 – 15 minutes before giving up and going elsewhere. Whether they need more staff, less drinks or just a better system, I don’t know, but perhaps something to be looked at.
Live music is a great touch and the singer was really good (not always the case!)

So, I’ve been here at a weekend and hated it. The music was far too loud. And far too pop orientated.
However, revisiting on Wednesday and it’s a completely different place.
It was a mate’s birthday, and I’d just been to the cinema, so thought I’d pop along.
Whilst waiting there was a salsa lesson on, and it was like watching film starts. These people were seriously goood! However, you didn’t feel threatened, by being dragged onto the dance floor or anything like that. It felt perfectly acceptable to go their for a drink at the bar. Though you will find the majority are their to dance!
It’s amazing how different a place can be at a weekend to mid-​week. Avoid at the weekend. Go on a Wednesday.
Drinks wise. It wasn’t cheap at all. But the Guiness I had actually was very good. Not a very regular Guiness drinker I must admint, but it was a very enjoyable smooth pint. Quite an extensive range of cocktails. Rum featuring quite heavily as you might expect.
Atmosphere wise everyone was smiling. It actually felt like it was a mini-​break from Manchester. A mini-​holiday atmosphere perhaps?
I might even go back. Unsure about the dancing ;)

I thought RdC was potentially going to be very stressful but actually they don’t jam pack it inside and so there’s no spending the whole night not so subtly trying to shove people out of your dancing space while they stand on the back of your heel.
The queue looked very long but actually I think it was only about 20 minutes to get in.
Cocktails aren’t particularly good and are over £7 but not terrible either and it’s good to have the option. Bar service is pretty quick given it’s a club and they are making a lot of cocktails.
Music wise, I’m not so into the Latin beats but there was a total random mix here with chart and cheese thrown in and everyone was pleased by something.
I’d definitely recommend for an unpretentious night out on the tiles.

Dull Monday again however I had done a bit of planning this time and had booked myself in to Revolution de Cuba’s Rum Club!
I like it here. The lazy ceiling fans and the décor lull you in thinking your on holiday.
The cocktails are fab my tip is check out the Old Cuban, its like a rum twist on a French 75. The food in here is good maybe a tad over priced thus the three stars.
So Rum Club, a Bacardi rum club this evening. We got five rums to try and were told all about the history of Bacardi. The rums went from white to dark and back again, the full range so to speak. Then we got to go behind the bar and make one of the cocktail of three cocktails. All this and it’s free, I think they just want to spread the love for rum! A very good way to spend a dull Monday evening.
