Found in Birmingham City Centre, Revolución de Cuba is an energising restaurant and bar with expertly crafted cocktails and a Latin-inspired menu. Whether you’re going for an impromptu lunch, bottomless brunch, or an evening of fiery tapas and boozy cocktails the atmosphere is always electric. Spread over two floors, the interiors are salsa-themed, bringing the rich vibrant colours of Havana together with a little modern flair.
The ground floor and cocktail bar are a more relaxed setting for daytime drinks and lazy brunches. Upstairs, the energy in the Havana rum bar is more high energy, an ideal setting for late-night revelry. Designed in the image of an authentic Cuban bar it features exposed brick walls, vintage posters and tropical plants with plenty of space to mingle and dance. On certain nights, you can also expect live music and salsa bands.
The Revolucion de Cuba menu is a fusion of Cuban, Caribbean and South American flavours. Expect a selection of tapas plates like chorizo croquettes, gambas pil pil, and barbecue pork tacos. But if you’re looking for the full Cuban experience, the Cubano sandwich with pulled pork, ham and cheese is a must-order. Those with heartier appetites will find a great selection of burgers, Cuban paella, enchiladas and spicy fish and chips. There’s also a kids menu and a Cuban afternoon tea menu with churros and a pina colada cheesecake.
More than anything, Revolucion de Cuba Birmingham is known for its drink offering. Essentially, it’s a rum lover’s paradise. Choose from a selection of ‘Cuban Icons’ including a Cuba Libre, Mojito Passion, and a Smoky Mango Daiquiri. But if rum isn’t your thing, don’t worry, there’s a great selection of Margaritas, classic cocktails, and Sangria Spritzes. Keep an eye out for the Happy Hour deal, it’s a steal.
