Revolucion De Cuba Birmingham, Havana Bar

Visited this place on a wim as we fancied some tapas. The tapas was OK, and we enjoyed two very nice cocktails. Service was excellent, polite, helpful, and quick. It was a bit loud in there for me (music and other customers), so I couldn't hear most of the conversation we were having. Would I recommend yes, but only if you're in a large group and definitely not as a couple.

We visited yesterday to celebrate our wedding anniversary using a Virgin Experiences voucher we were given for afternoon tea. I honestly don’t know if this is the reason we experienced less than optimal service. From arrival, we felt shoved into a corner through a curtain next to the vape machine. When ordering drinks, I had to ask what was with the afternoon tea and was waved to the menu saying “anything but the specials” When the food arrived, it was plonked in front of us and I had to ask what everything was and was made to feel like I was being a pain. My husband’s glass was empty but we weren’t offered more drinks, nor was it taken away. We were expecting tasty, flavoursome food but this was cold and bland. The dessert cheesecakes came in a small cup and I had to ask for smaller spoons to eat them. The Pastel de Nata were lovely - probably the best thing in the whole meal. We were in there less than an hour total and felt like we really weren’t wanted. Such a shame as this was our first experience and we had been really looking forward to it. We won’t be back.
