Award-winning late-night institution affectionately known as Newcastle city centre’s finest hidden gem. Chic, warm and dimly atmospheric; where you are always guaranteed the best time out in the city until 3 am every night.
Located up the hidden away staircase, tucked inside the entrance to the Grainger Market on Nelson Street; this is the perfect setting to enjoy a wide selection of drinks including cocktails, premium spirits, and craft beers. El Nido Latin Kitchen (in association with Kaltur) also serves food daily with their Spanish-inspired fresh tapas dishes.
Open seven days a week – Tuesday night is our lively, pop culture quiz night; Friday it’s time to party under the disco ball as we clear the dancefloor for Studio 28; then on Saturday, we keep it going till late with our team of DJs spinning tracks till the early morning. The best bit – we are always free entry.
Absolutely amazing place to visit! Great atmosphere and thr food was delicious, fresh and so filling! Visit for their Sunday Roast and was blown away by how good it was! This will definitely be a regular place for me now. Staff were friendly snd inviting and was always on hand whenever you needed them!
Attended a hen party in which we had 15 guests and had booked the mezzanine level for bottomless brunch. We were told to arrive promptly however when we got there, the previous party hadn't left and we didn't get into the area for 20 minutes later than the booking time. We were also told on arrival that the food options were not available because the "fryer was broken" and could only choose beef burger, chicken burger or veg burger. When the food arrived, it was fried chicken burger and all meals came with fried fries.... so I presume the frier definitely was working and it was just convenience that we had limited options. The food itself was very plain and rather dry. The drinks were a positive and there were bottles of prosecco flowing constantly, however there was not often a waiter/waitress around if you wanted any other drinks. We did complain on the night and the manager dealt with this as best as possible given the circumstances so I would try going back one day, however the hen party was a bit of a let down due to the issues.
Lovely idea of boozy afternoon tea and serving cocktails in teapots, but unfortunately at 2pm on Saturday the place got so busy, that we had to remind the staff about each of our drinks. Initially they said they would be coming to our table to check in with us and see what cocktail we want next, but unfortunately this didn't happen and we had to be catching the staff ourselves multiple times. We saw they were understaffed and very busy during that time, but this was disappointing still. Not a very afternoon tea atmosphere.
Stopped in after work in a week day and really enjoyed the eclectic decorations, the fantastic music choices and the cocktails we chose were delicious. We had been meaning to visit a while ago and now we wish we'd visited sooner.
The venue is nicely tucked away in a little alley way next to a market. The staff are friendly, the quality and variety of cocktails are great. The prices are reasonably. The venue has a good vibe and interesting decor. If your in Newcastle and looking for a good place to get some drinks...here is a good place to start.
