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.
That includes 50% off food for students, £5 pizzas and their already well-trusted and impressive bottomless brunch.
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.
For the more curious mind,Revolution is treating guests to a mixology class where they can learn the tricks of the trade.
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.
The ‘Truth or Dare cocktail’ is a deep-red coloured drink which comes with an unusual drink decoration.

Instead of a paper umbrella or a little sweet treat, this drink has a card attached to the glass which denotes two options, you guessed it, truth or dare.
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.
Its bars across the UK will continue to play their usual array of club hits to soundtrack your night as you take on their latest deals.
Two of Manchester’s best-loved casual dining spots are joining forces for a limited-edition collaboration.
Bundobust and Madre will be teaming up this summer to create a menu inspired by two world-famous street food cultures – India, and Mexico.
The Indo-Mexican menu will feature dishes like ‘Naanchos’, and plenty of other Desi-flavoured Mexican dishes.
It’ll be mashing up iconic ingredients, techniques, and flavours, with a menu of brand new spice-packed dishes and cocktails combining Desi and Mexican influence.
So, what can we expect?
Mexican street food classics chimichanga and quesadillas get the Desi treatment, while Bundobust’s Indian street food favourites like chaat get a little Latino heat.
All paired with spicy summer-time cocktails, as a homage to Mexican drinking culture, plus the return of Bundobust Brewery’s new golden Cerveza, SANJA Mexican Lager.
We can’t think of a better place to spend our summer evenings to be quite honest.
On the menu there are crunchy Indo-Mexican ‘naanchos’, topped with salsa verde, crema, tamarind, onion, coriander, and a punchy pickle masala.

There’ll also be a ‘Tikkadilla’ – a corn tortilla packed with oyster mushrooms, red tikka sauce and Oaxaca cheese, with a side of desi birria sauce for dipping.
That’s alongside masala chimichanga, birria-ani, and corn chaat.
Then you can wash that down with a cashew colada, an avocado lassi, spicy mango margs and loads more.
The Indo-Mexican menu will be available at all Bundobust and Madre locations from Monday 14 July until Sunday 17 August 2025.
A little Northern Quarter cafe is celebrating a big milestone this week, and is giving out 100 free slices of cake for the occasion.
Nibble is turning eight this week, and nothing makes a birthday better than cake.
The female-run independent cafe on Oldham Street in the heart of the Northern Quarter first opened its doors to hungry Mancs back in July 2017, after owner and manager Lauren had dreams to take her business of selling brownies at local artisan markets and turn them into a cosy cafe of her own that catered to people with all sorts of dietary requirements.
The cafe has since been acknowledged by tastemakers as one of the most accessible places in Manchester.
Not only is Nibble known and loved for serving up some of the best homemade bakes in the city, with something for everyone to tuck choose from, but they also provide a tasty selection of all-day brunch dishes, salads, and sandwiches, as well as corporate catering too.
So of course, to celebrate eight years of the lovely Nibble team feeding the good people of Manchester, the business is giving away free slices of birthday cake on Friday.

After doing something similar to celebrate their birthday last year, this time around they’re taking things once step further, as it’s not just 100 free slices of scrumptious cake you can get your hands on, there’s plenty other prizes too.
Nibble will be ‘levelling up’ and throwing in some ‘hidden surprises’ in the form of vouchers, giving people an opportunity to win a free brunch, brownie box, or coffee and cake.
To be in with a chance of taking away one of the 100 free slices of birthday cake, all you’ll need to do is head to Nibble on Oldham Street this Friday (11 July) and line up outside the cafe from 9:30am, then you may just be lucky enough to start of your day in the sweetest way possible.
