I would place a bet that Revolution closes and they keep Revolucion deCuba open. They’re fairly close together and the latter hasn’t been open that long so I imagine Revolution will close . I imagine it is very difficult to maintain Revolution on Collingwood street in the current restrictions- it’s not a massive bar and to have people just sitting in those booths means they must have a rather small capacity for the next 6 months at least, it is also for the younger crowd and it’s definitely about the vodka shots rather than the food and compared to their newer bar on the Bigg Market - or Cloth Market I should say- and therefore IMO is more attractive it the current market. The cloth market bar also has a large roof bar area - again attractive when you want good ventilation where as Collingwood doesn’t. When I was out in the town in August you couldn’t get in Revolucion de Cuba but Revolution there was no problem. It’s a Shame really as Revolution has an impressive interior from their day as a bank.
Then again I may be totally wrong, both Newcastle bars may stay open- the city is after all a party city and once this is over I am sure it will be again. Many other cities such as Manchester and Liverpool and Leeds have multiple Revolution bars and they may just close some in those cities so there is just one Revolution bar representative in those cities.
As for Sunderland, if it ain’t open now it doesn’t bode well for any restructure of their estate.
