About Revolución de Cuba Belfast
Revolución de Cuba Belfast is a Cuban-themed bar and restaurant on Arthur Street, built around cocktails, live music, and a party atmosphere that draws groups and tourists alike. The space is casual and trendy with outdoor seating, a full bar, and table service. What keeps people coming back isn't pretence—it's the consistency of the drinks menu, the bartenders who actually know what they're doing (reviewers name-check staff like Anna, Jade, and Jamie repeatedly), and the fact that it works equally well for a solo drink or a full group event. The happy hour runs two identical cocktails for £12, which explains why weekends fill up fast. Food gets mentioned positively but isn't the draw—the atmosphere, the cocktail selection, and the staff who make you feel welcomed are what reviewers cite first. Brunch is offered with reservations recommended, and the venue accepts groups for everything from casual dinners to hen parties.
What Stands Out
Cocktails executed correctly
Multiple reviewers praise the 'great drink selection' and 'great cocktails' specifically. One reviewer notes the happy-hour deal: two identical cocktails for £12. A negative review confirms the bar has an espresso machine and can make complex drinks—the issue was execution, not capability.
Staff who genuinely engage
Reviewers name individual bartenders (Anna, Jade, Jamie) and describe them as 'lovely', 'informative', making guests 'feel welcomed'. A hen-party review states the bartender 'completely made our night'. This level of specific praise across multiple reviews points to consistent training and genuine hospitality, not one-off luck.
Atmosphere that works for groups and solo diners
Google attributes list 'Groups' and 'Solo dining' as popular uses. Reviews describe 'cozy', 'comfortable lighting', 'fun', and 'surreal' atmosphere. The venue is listed as 'Trendy' and 'Casual', and weekend reviews confirm it's 'always good fun' and full by evening.
