The Revolution Bars Group has announced that it will be shutting a number of its venues on Mondays and Tuesdays over the next few weeks after seeing their energy costs skyrocket.
The group, who runs the Revolution and Revolucion de Cuba bar chains and acquired the Peach Pub company last year, will be closing some branches for two days per week this month into early February since seeing profits dip. Revolution CEO Rob Pitcher said that rail strikes and the stress of the cost of living crisis on revellers had also impacted sales.
The group runs 90 venues across the UK, including in Newcastle and Durham, and have been trading since 1996 with nearly 3,000 members of staff across the country. They have confirmed that both Newcastle venues, Revolution and Revolucion de Cuba, will be staying open on Mondays and Tuesdays.
