I had a wonderful time at Colonel Porter's Emporium, a 1920s-themed restaurant and bar on Dean Street. The place is full of charm and character, with a botanical garden, a secret disco, a rhum and gin bar, and a tavern of wonders. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and the food and drinks were delicious. I especially enjoyed the vintage cocktails and the lobster. The atmosphere was lively and fun, and I felt like I was transported to another era. I would highly recommend Colonel Porter's Emporium to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience in Newcastle.

Update 21/11/23 weekends have become so fun here since live musics started. Dance floor is so much better here for the mint music and intimate settings. Tunes after acts are done are mint too. We were dancing till 1am I think! Hope Tim Gambles is brought back more, he's something special! Brilliant open mic night here on Tuesdays. Lush staff and brilliant service. The pictures speak for themselves - the vibe here is excellent, quirky and interesting. Great playlist too. Think mid week evenings here will become a regular for me - felt so relaxed here. Recommend!

What a cool bar!!! The interior decoration is gorgeous - so many interesting things to look at and amazing for anyone into the Victorian aesthetic. Super comfortable seating as well. And great drinks in my opinion! I got the Butterbeer Halloween cocktail which I thought was delicious. Caution if you don't like sweet drinks- my partner doesn't and we found that there literally wasn't a single thing on the menu that didn't have sugar syrup 😅 but if dessert cocktails are your thing (they are mine!) And if you don't like strong spirity-flavored drinks (I don't!), then you'll love this place

Quirky place, lots to see on the walls, and hanging from the ceiling. Live music in the background and good deals on the cocktails 😁 Friendly staff and table service, for when your legs don't work properly after supping the cocktails!! Had a great time there, and will be back tomorrow, to sample some other cocktails no doubt about it. This might just be my new favourite place to visit.

Popped in for a couple of drinks on our way elsewhere for food. Our first time here after a few recommendations from friends. What a great quirky bar. We had a few cocktails at 2 for £12 and couldn't fault the place. Live music and great atmosphere. Definitely will be back.
