EXCLUSIVE: Former Bordeaux Quay set to be transformed into rum bar
They already have more than a dozen bars across the UK from Aberdeen to Norwich, and now Revolución de Cuba are set to open one of their biggest bars in Bristol in a converted 1920s warehouse overlooking the Floating Harbour.
Bordeaux Quay closed suddenly at the end of last year. With the arrival of the South West’s first Revolución de Cuba, its deli counter will be replaced by a cocktail bar and its bakery by big screens, with the bar opening from the late morning into late evening.
Revolución de Cuba’s Cardiff bar at The Friary is said to have “freshly prepared tapas and unique Latin-inspired menus, live music and a rum list that will take you straight to the sun. Cardiff city centre’s answer to Havana, with no need for passports and planes.”

Revolucion de Cuba is set to open within the former Bordeaux Quay, which was open from 2006 to 2017
The first bar opened in Sheffield in 2011 and is a sister business to Revolution, whose Bristol bar – one of more than 50 across the UK – is on St Nicholas Street.
Its marketing people say that Revolución de Cuba bars are “characterised by their 1940s Cuban-inspired style, with dark woods, traditional bar counters, antique tiles, vintage furniture, Havana-style ceiling fans and original Cuban artwork and photographs, with each bar tailored to give it an individual character.
“The success of our Revolución de Cuba brand is driven by the Cuban-inspired premium proposition offering cocktails, food and live music to a wide range of customers.
“The principal revenue streams are generated from our rum-led cocktail range coupled with a Spanish and Mexican-based tapas-inspired food menu and authentic live Latin music and entertainment.”
