The UK bar chain known for its colourful cocktails and its menus filled with different flavoured vodkas has announced it’s entering a ‘a new era of cost-effective fun and flavour’.
Revolution, which has two sites in Manchester, has said that it wants to make ‘nights out affordable again’.
Nights out are becoming a treat these days with the cost of everything seemingly increasing all the time.
Following a rocky period, in which eight sites were closed at the start of this year, Manchester-founded bar group Revolution are hoping this new batch of offers will make them everybody’s night out hotspot.
With the chain having two sites located in Manchester city centre, there’s double the chance to benefit from these deals.

Drinks and shots will also be flowing more frequently with £5 doubles, £3.50 pints, and for those who are partying with pals (or just want to be double-parked) there are two for one cocktails.

This will include making cocktails and sampling their creations of much-loved classic cocktails taken from the menu.
To coincide with the ‘241 Cocktails’ promotion, the hospitality venue is releasing three new game-inspired drinks where you can test your luck.

Sticking with the card game theme, why not test your fortunes with the ‘Chase The Ace’, another red-toned drink which has a playing card as its centrepiece.
The final addition is not one for the weak, clubbers can now order ‘Chilli Shot Roulette’, one person in your party is about to feel the heat, literally.

Manchester’s tiny new tiramisu hatch Layr speaks out after receiving influx of ‘hostile’ hate messages
Emily Sergeant
Manchester’s tiny new tiramisu hatch has spoken out after receiving a recent influx of ‘hostile’ hate messages and reviews.
Having only opened its doors – or should we say, shutters – at the end of last month (29 January) over in Acoats, Layr is one of Manchester’s newest independent businesses that is selling purely tiramisu, with a menu of three different flavours, each served in individually portioned pots.
Here you can expect classic tiramisu where sponge is soaked in espresso, then layered with vanilla marscapone and cocoa dust.
These freshly-made, alcohol-free and Halal desserts have gone down an absolute treat with residents and visitors to the city alike since opening, but unfortunately, it hasn’t been completely smooth sailing for founder Moona who has admitted over the weekend that they have been receiving a number of ‘hostile’ hate comments and reviews that don’t reflect the service they are providing.
The statement comes after the business teamed up with The Couture Club and influencer Farron Clark for a Valentine’s collaboration over the weekend.
Layr said in its Instagram statement: “As a small independent business, we can’t stay silent when things aren’t right. It’s hard to share, but it has to be said.
“With a heavy heart, we need to address something that’s been happening behind the scenes. Over the past few days, we’ve noticed a pattern that’s been difficult to process. Hostile hate-messages, comments, and reviews. A number of one-star reviews have appeared that don’t feel reflective of real customer experiences… with some of our genuine customer photos have been screenshotted and reposted elsewhere.

“As a small, new independent business, we take all feedback on board. However instances that appear not to be genuine are disheartening to see.”
They then shared a couple of screenshot images of reviews and comments they were referring to, before adding that: “The industry is already a challenge without these instances. We all need each other’s support and I hope we all succeed in what we set out to achieve.”
The statement concluded: “Let’s spread love… not hate.”
Layr’s post has seen hundreds of likes and comments from customers and other local businesses sharing their support.

‘Manchester’s best lunch deal’ that’s only available for two hours a day
Daisy Jackson
There’s a cafe in the centre of Manchester that’s had queues all the way down the street thanks to its incredible value lunch deal.
Although it’s been in Spring Gardens for two years now, Meridian has remained one of Manchester’s best-kept secrets online, thanks to its decision to stay totally off social media until recently.
That hasn’t stopped the queues though, and they’re all here for the same thing – a loaded £5.80 lunch box.
Tucked away just off Market Street, Meridian is an unassuming cafe operated by founder Dan.
It’s much more than a coffee shop, with a menu of Asian fusion dishes served in the cafe, as well as for grab-and-go lunches.
The lunch boxes start from just £5.80, which gets you a box absolutely packed to the brim with delicious Chinese and South East Asian items.
You start off with a base of either egg rice fried, chips, or noodles; then lash on a sauce like Malaysian curry, Thai sweet chilli, or satay.
