Revolution Bars to reopen more venues despite new Covid-19 restrictions

Revolution Bars Group has announced it will continue to re-open its venues amid the introduction of new coronavirus restrictions.

It comes a month after the company, which operates 73 bars under the Revolution and Revolucion de Cuba brands, said it would consider scaling back its number of locations through a company voluntary arrangement (CVA).

The Ashton-under-Lyne-headquartered company announced its Blackpool, Cheltenham, Milton Keynes and Newcastle-Under-Lyme Revolution sites are to re-open today (October 26).

The venues have been closed since March.

Chief Executive Rob Pitcher said: “The safety of our guests and teams is our top priority.

“By taking a phased approach to opening our venues we can ensure our guests and teams are as safe as possible, and team members are trained to the highest quality on safe operating procedures.

“This is a critical time for the hospitality industry and the re-opening of venues has to be done in a measured and calculated way to ensure the lowest risk, and longevity of our plans.”
