New Cornerhouse blow as Revolution closure follows TGI Fridays loss

BUT TOURISM BOSS SAYS CITY HAS 'STRONG VISITOR OFFER'

- By JOSHUA HARTLEY

NOTTINGHAM'S premier leisure and entertainment complex has suffered a fresh setback after a struggling chain announced it would be closing one of its bars at the city venue.

Revolution bars owner The Revel Collective has closed 21 venues with the loss of 591 jobs after appointing administrators, who have confirmed the shutdown of Nottingham city centre's Revolution in The Cornerhouse on Forman Street.

Administrators FTI Consulting said the bar operator had struggled with rising costs and weaker consumer spending, particularly among its younger customers.

The venues closing, with immediate effect, incorporate 14 Revolution bars, six Revolucion de Cuba bars and one Peach Pub.
