which revolution bars are closing
Short answer: 14 Revolution-branded bars are shutting in early 2026, alongside six Revolución de Cuba sites and one Peach Pub, after the group entered administration.
Below is the confirmed list of Revolution bars that are closing in 2026:
- Manchester (Oxford Road)
- Manchester (Parsonage Gardens)
- Leeds (Electric Press)
- Sheffield
- Nottingham
- Huddersfield
- Leicester
- Glasgow – Renfield Street
- Cardiff
- Durham
- Exeter
- Plymouth
- Preston
- Ipswich
These closures form part of a wider shutdown of 21 venues in total across the group (14 Revolution, 6 Revolución de Cuba, 1 Peach Pub), with around 591 jobs lost and 41 venues reportedly remaining open under new ownership or structure.
Quick Scoop: What’s going on?
The owner of Revolution, Revolución de Cuba and Peach Pubs has gone into administration, triggering immediate closures at a chunk of its estate. Rising costs, weaker spending by younger drinkers and a heavy debt load are all cited as reasons the business couldn’t keep all its bars trading.
At the same time, administrators say they’ve struck deals to keep 41 sites going, which means more than 1,500 jobs are expected to be saved despite the closures. So the picture is mixed: a painful cutback rather than a total disappearance of the brand.

Forum & trending angle
This story has been bubbling across UK news, social feeds and local forums because Revolution has been a familiar high-street night out for years. On community boards, you’ll see a mix of nostalgia (“end of an era” vibes), criticism of management and wider frustration about how hard it’s become for bars, clubs and pubs to survive with higher costs and changing nightlife habits.
Some commenters also link this to a broader trend: fewer cheap student nights, more pre-drinking at home, and a shift toward “experience” venues or smaller independents instead of big branded chains. In other words, the Revolution closures are part business story, part cultural moment for UK nightlife.
