Cuban Revolution Restaurant & Bar

They have a great atmosphere, great tapas menu, and very helpful bartenders who are truthful about the menu. AND.. its really reasonably priced for being right outside of a ball park. $3 Imports on the day of a game?? Heck yeah, I'm going in before hand and having a couple of those! more

excellent sweet potato fries. mediocre sandwiches. more

Other reviewers must have something against a great atmosphere and great food with a heaping amount of Political discourse thrown in. It's a cool place. We like it. more

Wondered why all the negative reviews until we figured out that none of the reviewers have pictures, usually a sign that former employees have a grudge...lol...we really had a nice time there and LOVE the beer prices $3.00 for all their draft beers!! We will definitely be returning for more tapas and cocktails before a Bulls game. more

Cuban Revolution is beautiful and the food is AAA+++. Nothing like it in Durham or for that matter Raleigh. It's an eclectic mix of American and Latino with a bit of hippie and chic thrown in with political messages surrounding you as you dine. WOW. Spent a great time at the bar which is stunning. Also, by FAR, BEST plasma TV sets in a restaurant setting I have ever seen. Fried green beans and maduras kick. more

I was finally able to check out Cuban Revolution for a work lunch today, and boy was I impressed. I can only imagine how great it must be for dinner/nightlife. It has a great atmosphere with awesome wall art and lighting. The menu is super trippy and it took me a minute to grasp all the food choices. The staff was very friendly and almost had me sold on dessert. Guava tart anyone? I ended up ordering a "wrap" that really should have been called a burrito. It was delish. Chicken, yellow rice, green peps, mushrooms, cheese, adobo. I shoved it down in mere minutes. more

I have to agree with the other five star reviews for this place! They have a great atmosphere, great tapas menu, and very helpful bartenders who are truthful about the menu. AND.. its really reasonably priced for being right outside of a ball park. $3 Imports on the day of a game?? Heck yeah, I'm going in before hand and having a couple of those! We went in before a Bulls game, and were actually pretty pleased at being able to walk in an hour beforehand and immediately get seating at the bar (where you can order from the full menu). The bartender was immediately friendly and talked to us about the kinds of drafts and drinks available, and made an off menu margarita for a friend. We ordered a bunch of great tapas - the sweet potato fries were GREAT, the nachos were actually, well, chili cheese fries (it was accurately described on the menu), and those little goat cheese stuffed peppers are like crack. We also ordered a burrito to split, and they actually split it into two mini burritos for us! I was pretty jazzed about that, and to top it off - it was quite tasty.I'll definitely go back and try out some more of that tapas menu - especially if they have their drink specials before the game! more

We went to the Cuban Revolution with a party of 11 people. The waiters were all VERY friendly. One of us didn't like the drink she ordered, and the waitress brought a choice of two new ones out! The appetizers and the main dishes we had were good. I liked the fried green beans as recommended in the previous review as well as the sweet potato che fries. The Ropa Vieja Platter was a great choice for the main course. We had separate check and the shared appetizers were divided by 11 (1/11 of every appetizer on each check, which I think was great). Gratuity was not added, which is usually done in larger groups with divided checks. Overall a great and recommendable experience. more
