Revolución de Cuba Birmingham

Restaurant Bar Lounge Cuban restaurant

👍👍 Staff was very attentive. Tap water is provided to every table. We used a buyagift voucher and the staff already had all the details beforehand from booking and automatically added it all to our bill. The tapas we had were excellent, good portions. The side of chips was very nice and crisp. Best tap... People often mention great, staff, cocktails, drinks, amazing, cocktail, good, nice, atmosphere, music,

    Literally one of my favourite bars in Birmingham! The staff are always amazing, the drinks are sensational (pineapple and gingerbread mojito in particular, wow 😍) and the tunes are just... You can't help but dance! 🕺🏾🎶 They had a live band on when we went just before Christmas and they absolutely rocked the joint! Love it ☺️💯

    Staff was very attentive. Tap water is provided to every table. We used a buyagift voucher and the staff already had all the details beforehand from booking and automatically added it all to our bill. The tapas we had were excellent, good portions. The side of chips was very nice and crisp. Best tapas were the quesadillas. The worst were the spicy chicken strips as they weren’t really spicy or particularly flavourful and a little on the dry side. We had a couple of cocktail which were excellent. Only ‘downside’ is that they don’t accept cash, but nowadays that’s not much an issue. Tables were a little wobbly but nothing a bit of paper couldn’t solve! Lovely lunch! Would definitely return!

    Nice venue, nice atmosphere, staff need to be trained on serving those that have been waiting patiently for drinks not those that are talller, bigger or louder that can attract their attention. Disgusting how when you raise the issue, the staff member didn't even listen to my comments but continued to serve others, that had pushed in from behind. I wouldn't have minded but I needed water as I was feeling faint.

    I've enjoyed the food with my friend, I had the most popular cocktail and to be honest I had better in my life , it had some drops of alcohol and was really watery as taste meaning the combination was bad. We liked the food and the Nacho's was lovely even tho my friend wanted more cheese on them she's asked politely the waiter and he was rude to her.. otherwise than the lovely lady that she took our order. Disrespect to people is never appreciated. Maybe the waiter had a bad day but customer service has to be kind, respectful and at the best performance. If you asked me to rate the place of it's design and architecture I would put 10/10 , the food 6/10, drinks 4/10.

    The food was delicious, so hot, fresh and very filling. I don't usually drink cocktails but this was a birthday meal and so I tried the strawberry daiquiri and that was great and very refreshing. Would certainly come back again.

    Service was amazing! We went to the bottomless brunch, new drinks there ready as you were finishing one. Food tasty but you will want to order sides as well. Atmosphere makes you want to carry it on and go dancing. Would definitely go again!

    Music could have been a little bit better this time, around however I've been before and the music was great, so I can't complain too much.

    Amazing food, friendly staff, just a great place to go 😊 and fabulous cocktails 🍸

  • 3/5 June B. 9 months ago on Google
    Food very good. I don't think they understand virgin voucher rules which state 2 free cocktails with afternoon tea. We were not offered them.. when my son complained the next day he was told they were not requested on the booking email i had sent. We went to pay cash for our drinks and told card only. No one explained when we arrived how to pay. Bad communication from the staff. It just spoiled our 55 years wedding anniversary gift.

    We were out for a work birthday gathering and the staff and food were wonderful as always. We have people in our party with gluten sensitivity and vegetarians and they always have a wide range to choose from. They were extremely accommodating in hiding the surprise cake and even gave us some garland's that had been left by a previous gathering to add to the festivities. The guitar and drum duo were fabulous in creating a great atmosphere. Would very much recommend.

    Had our second hen and stag do here to celebrate with my family who came from abroad. We did a cocktail making masterclass followed by bottomless brunch, both were amazing and vibe was great. We had such an amazing time :D

    The best place for rum and tapas lovers!!! The food is always amazing, they are very allergy conscious which makes me feel save to eat there with my many allergies. The last time I went, our waitress Nikola (I think her name was) was amazing 👏 couldn't have asked for a better night!

    Had a Christmas party here in the Havana Bar for 150 people and it was great. Drinks/cocktails were lovely, great music, food was nice and plentiful. Have been before and it's always been a good vibe but I must say everyone was impressed. Thanks to Barbara and team.

    Had live music and the atmosphere was great at first but it soon got quiet like it's not the kinda place you stay all night. But the food and cocktails were great.

  • 5/5 Annmarie G. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great night! Food was fantastic! Customer service was brilliant. The live band created such a good atmosphere we felt like we were in the middle of the Caribbean! Sad we never got our servers name but a huge thank you to all the staff! Will definitely be back again.

    Wow. What a great small restaurant! We were visiting Birmingham by train for a day trip in the Easter holidays. We went to Millennium Point and went to the ThinkTank science museum which was very interesting! Afterwards, we had a mooch around the shops around Bullring and then started looking for a restaurant for dinner. We walked to a few other restaurants but all were either empty or too expensive until we found Revolución de Cuba and what a find this was! A very authentic South American restaurant, really polite staff, the food was GORGEOUS and prices were fantastic! We got their just before 5 so we got the lunch time deal where you got a selected main and a drink for £7.99! Incredible place will definitely be going back!

    Great venue to hold corporate events when you fancy something a bit different. You can not go wrong with the amazing Choice of drinks available and fantastic cocktails they have which are all freshly prepared and mixed right in front of you. The food was exceptional and plenty of options on the buffet which will please everyone including vegetarians no chips in site which makes a refreshing change from the boring food you get at other venues. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and happy to help with any issues you have. The lighting inside is a bit tricky if you’re taking photographs with a good flash you should be fine looking forward to revisiting this venue again and working here having some more food and drinks would highly recommend to use this venue for corporate events

    Great music from 90s/00s feels like a late night bar even in the afternoon. Good selection of drinks brilliant atmosphere.

    We had a fantastic table cocktail master class. We were just a part of 4 and it was great! We had an intimate cocktail making experience with Charlotte. She was great and informative but also was loads of fun. I hadn’t appreciated just how many cocktails we would have and shots in between with a glass of sangria on arrival. The Paella de Cuba was lovely and had quite a kick to it. My friend had the chicken salad and she enjoyed it. Staff were friendly and we had a great experience. I would have given 5 stars if there had been more food options n the gluten free menu when pre ordering in a cocktail master class

    This is a great place for lovely authentic Cuban cocktails. We managed to make it there comfortably, to get ours in, before 7:00pm. One had to laugh that their "Happy Hour" is way more than one hour. But it's to your advantage, if you love cocktails. Stayed well into the evening. There was a live band followed by some classic R'n'B tunes to dance away to and sing some of the anthems. Enjoyable evening. Food delicious. Company great. The only criticism was around the booking and confirming the booking. They state that they only do booths of around 10 people, but what they neglected to say was there's plenty of room for large groups, as it's a bar anyway.this would have reduced anxiety levels before the gathering, as everything went well anyway. I think they wanted to keep their options open to give the tables to other people, if they were inundated. However, this was not the case.

    What a fantastic place , food and drink was exceptional. Highly recommended for a great night out.

    Lunch menu, we both had a burrito bowl. Mum had the beef, I had the mushroom Vege option. Absolutely divine. Staff were great. For lunch at a very reasonable price, would definitely recommend

  • 1/5 David G. 2 years ago on Google
    I’d like to say if the food was good or not but we’re told at 11:30 am with absolutely no one else in the restaurant, after sitting down that unless we had a reservation we couldn’t eat 😂😂

  • 4/5 Ann B. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the tapas altho we ordered a little bit too much.

  • 5/5 Deano 2 years ago on Google
    Great drinks here. Friendly staff great experience definitely recommend a visit. Thank you

  • 4/5 Charlotte R. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is so so good here and I would re-visit for this reason but the music is just a little loud! Afterwards we visited other bars/restaurants on the same road and the music was a little quieter and it made a massive difference (POV it was 5pm)

  • 4/5 DJJ K. 2 years ago on Google
    Just off tucked off the main high street offering a Hispanic experience. Presentable and clean. I particular enjoyed the 241 cocktails in afternoon. Could do with more selection on cocktail menu not so much rummy ones
