A North East Revolution is among the 21 closed with immediate effect as owner The Revel Collective collapse into administration.
The Durham City branch of the bar is among those affected by the closures, which has resulted in 591 job losses nationally.
Administrators for the hospitality group confirmed the immediate closure of 14 Revolution Bars, six Revolucion de Cuba sites, and one pub from its Peach Pubs division.
The Newcastle branch of Revolution is not affected by these closures. Neither is the nearby Revolucion de Cuba venue on Cloth Market.
A statement from the Durham Revolution, which occupies a prominent position on North Road overlooking the River Wear, reads: “ We have loved shaking your cocktails and creating unmissable parties and events over the years, but as of today, 27th January 2026, we will sadly be closing our doors in Durham.
“We want to extend an enormous thank you for joining the Revolution party and making some unforgettable memories.
