Revolucion de Cuba, a popular Cuban cocktail bar on Temple Street in Birmingham city centre, has announced it will close its doors for the final time on Saturday, July 25, 2026, after nine years of operation.
Announcement and Fan Reactions
The venue, which has been serving Latin-inspired food and drinks since 2017, shared the news on Instagram, stating: "This weekend will be our final fiesta with one last dance, closing our doors on Saturday 25th July 2026. We have loved shaking your cocktails and creating unmissable parties and events over the years."
The post added: "We want to thank you for partying with us and hope you can join us for one last fiesta this weekend. Any guests with bookings will be contacted in due course. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Gracias."
Fans expressed their sadness online. Jimmy the Gent commented: "What a venue. What an era. Birmingham will never be the same." Girls Get Social wrote: "Heartbroken is an understatement. Thank you SO so much for all the support you have given us over the years - we have had so many brilliant memories with you guys that we'll remember forever."
Background and Future Plans
In January 2026, the then-owner of Revolucion de Cuba, The Revel Collective, fell into administration, leading to the closure of 21 venues and the loss of 591 jobs. However, the Birmingham location remained open after Neos Hospitality purchased the business.
While Revolucion de Cuba is closing, reports indicate that the bar could be transformed into a new brand under the Neos Hospitality umbrella. Other brands in Neos Hospitality's portfolio include Barbara's Bier Haus, Bonnie Rogues, and Circuit.
The bar is located at 8 Temple Street, Birmingham, B2 5BN. BirminghamLive has contacted the brand for further details on the future of the unit.
