Revolución de Cuba Norwich — Restaurant in Norwich

First time here, and sadly probably won't be going back. Waiting staff were all lovely and made us feel welcome and comfortable. We ordered some cokes, and were given coke zero which wouldn't have been our choice. This may have been the only choice, but were not informed and if had been wouldn't have chosen those drinks especially at £3.50 each. It was very quiet when we dined here 1 of 2 tables but the food came out very slowly. I had the tapas menu and chose the ham and cheese croquettes, the chorizo, the squid and onion rings. The croquettes were quite well done verging on burnt. They just tasted of stale grease and were not pleasant at all. The chorizo came with a wine based sauce. I'm pretty sure the chorizo had the skin still on them. Squid was ok. Another of our group had the chicken Cubano which was considered "tasteless" and was also slightly burnt in the base.tye onion rings were those cheap ones you get from Iceland, made up of minced onions rather than a whole actual ring of onion. Our waitress kindly took these off of the bill as she noticed we had barely touched them, which was incredibly nice of her All in all a really disappointing experience. It was our first time here and we really liked the decor Maybe it is better if you had cocktails rather than food, as it was...

Didn’t even go in the place (I’m not even from Norwich) but whilst passing by, saw a bouncer chuck a clearly drunken man on the street. 3 “bouncers” were present (2 male and 1 female). The man didn’t even get up off the ground before one power hungry bouncer put him in a choke hold until the man tapped out scared. If the man had come back for more trouble, I’d understand detaining him - but not to choke him until he was red in the face? Funny training they’ve had.

Then, I was given so called context after intervening saying he tried to fight a member of staff in the club. But they’d chucked him out, he hit the floor, there was no reason to choke him. The bouncer who did it went quiet and relied on his other colleagues for support as I think he knew he’d taken it too far.

Looking at past reviews, it’s clear they’ve done this before. Didn’t get details but made notes of their descriptions if someone wants to get back to me about it.

Horrendous experience and...

Stumbled into this little gem last Friday night expecting just a quick drink… left three hours later with two new friends, one karaoke performance (which I regret nothing about), and possibly the best basket of tater tots known to mankind.

The bartender, Steve (or maybe Greg? He told me both at different points — mysterious man), makes a dangerously smooth Old Fashioned and gives life advice that may or may not have been based on ‘90s sitcoms. Either way, it worked.

The vibe here is pure magic: part cozy dive, part secret clubhouse, and 100% judgment-free zone — even when I enthusiastically sang Bohemian Rhapsody like it was the national anthem.

Bonus points for the bathroom chalkboard wall, where someone wisely wrote: “You deserve the fries. All the fries.” Sage words.

Highly recommend if you like good drinks, weird stories, and leaving slightly more loved (and full of tots) than when you arrived.

Will I be back? Like a moth to a neon beer...
