About This Pub
Ah, Revolución de Cuba in Derby – it's one of those places that really transports you, doesn't it? Picture stepping off the street into a slice of Havana, with dim lights, live music, and that infectious Cuban spirit buzzing around. From what I've gathered from the buzz online, folks are raving about the service; servers like Christy and the team are quick to greet you, check in regularly, and make everything feel personal and fun. The food and drinks steal the show too – whether it's a bottomless brunch with mates or diving into a cocktail masterclass, the flavours are spot on, and it's all about that fresh, tropical twist. But, let's keep it real, it's not flawless; a few have mentioned the portions feeling a tad skimpy, especially for vegan options, and the nachos didn't quite live up to expectations for some. Still, with a solid 4.2 rating from heaps of happy visitors, it's clear this place nails the vibe and keeps the good times rolling. If you're after a relaxed evening with great company and a dash of adventure, I'd say give it a go – just maybe plan for a bigger bite if you're starving!

Christy was an excellent and attentive server, we were seen to immediately and checked on throughout our visit. We had the afternoon tea and it was superb, full of flavour and tasty. The cocktails were delicious too, we were also provided with a jug of water which was a nice touch. Would come again!
Jess and Hannah were our servers and bartender and they were amazing. Me and my boyfriend went for a bottomless brunch and they went above and beyond! the food was nice and drinks didn’t take long to come and tasted lovely.
Went for food and cocktails - the venue is gorgeous and the service (k/Christina)was excellent and drinks and food 👌🏾 shall definitely return
We attended a coctail class with Jay on 12.04.2024 and it was amazing. Jay's knowledge of all the alcohols impressive and we learned how Rum is made. We had a good laugh and Jay made the class very entertaining. All the girls said we'd definitely come back for another class. Great value for the money we spend and all the coctails were delicious.
The portion for the vegan main was very small for the price but food was good, nachos were not very good but the sauces for them and the rice& beans were great. The atmosphere here is incredible and we had a fantastic waitress. Will be going back.
