A popular chain of bars has confirmed they will be closing their venues for two days a week for the next few weeks. It comes as the hospitality industry has been hit hard by rocketing energy costs amid the cost of living crisis.
Bar group Revolution has said it is shutting venues on Mondays and Tuesdays throughout January and early February, blaming a raft of factors from train strikes and a generally quiet post-Christmas period.
The chain also owns the Revolucion de Cuba and Peach Pub brands, totalling four venues in Manchester city centre.
