The chain is owned by Ashton-under-Lyne based firm Inventive Leisure , with the first bar opening near the BBC North premises on Oxford Road, Manchester in 1996. The chain is currently owned by the venture capital group Alchemy Partners , who paid £42m for Inventive Leisure , with over 40 venues in the chain. In the past the firm had a short lived joint venture deal with London based vodka bar chain Babuska that saw the original bar on Oxford Road repainted and changed to the London brand (whilst sister outlet at Deansgate Locks continued as a Revolution). However within months the partnership had soured and the Oxford Road branch had been changed back to the original name. FLAVOURED VODKAS The chain has it's own range of flavoured vodkas, that are served ice-cold to customers. Flavours range from sweet tastes like " Pear Drops " and " Chocolate Mint " to extreme tastes like " Chilli ". Russian Roulette Amongst the chain's offers is Russian Roulette played with vodkas. Six identical looking vodka shots are poured out by the bar person for a party of customers. However, whilst 4 of the shots are sweet tastes, 2 are the extreme Chilli vodla shots and the customers do not know which of the vodka shots are which. EXTERNAL LINKS
