"Revolución de Cuba Manchester" in Manchester, England, is a vibrant restaurant and cocktail bar that brings the spirit of Cuba to the heart of the British metropolis. This establishment is part of the successful Revolución de Cuba chain and has established itself as a popular meeting spot for lovers of Latin American cuisine, lively music, and tropical drinks.

A highlight is the "Slow-Cooked Pulled Beef Birria Tacos" – tender, slow-cooked beef pieces served in paprika tortillas with melted cheese and a spicy jerk sauce.

Vegetarians are catered to as well, with dishes like the "Padrón Peppers", traditionally served with sea salt and offering a spicy surprise.
The drink menu is another standout, with an extensive selection of cocktails and rums that underscore the Cuban flair. The "Cuban Tea Party" is a creative example – a cocktail served in a teapot that combines classic ingredients with a playful twist. Equally popular is the "Mojito", prepared here with fresh mint and high-quality rum, considered one of the best in the city. The in-house rum bar also offers an impressive collection of over 70 varieties that can be enjoyed neat or in cocktails – a paradise for rum enthusiasts.
