Bar group ‘disappointed’

REVOLUTION Bars had a ‘disappointing year’ as extreme weather and the Fifa World Cup contributed towards a full-year loss.

The premium bars group suffered a loss of £3.6m for the year to June 30, compared to a profit of £5.1m a year earlier. The Beast from the East knocked sales by around £500,000 in early March.

The group also failed to benefit from the World Cup as none of its bars were equipped with TVs to show the games.
