PROHIBITION CABARET BAR

“I grew up South of the Tyne so have roots there. The ‘Heed is really changing, for the better. I love the neighbourhood and community I’ve joined. The welcome and support has been tremendous so far.”

Mitch’s passion for all things Art Deco and vintage is clear to see, the bar pays serious homage to the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.

“I’m not one to do things by halves. I needed to get everything right, from the music to the decor. I wanted to create a space that transports my guests back to the 20’s. You’re in a side-street cabaret club built into a working railway arch, it’s such an authentic location. It just feels so right...and when the trains go over above the bar and there’s a jazz band on stage, well, it doesn’t get more authentic than that!”

With an emphasis on the Prohibition era of 1920’s America the bar creates a unique space that provides a beautiful purpose built stage fit for all manor of acts: “I built the bar to showcase the best performers the region (and beyond) has to offer. Magicians, hypnotists, sideshows, poetry, spoken word, story telling, burlesque, traditional cabaret and music hall, drag acts, comedy, singing, dancing, musicians, ventriloquists, circus acts... just variety in general!” Plus, all Friday Night Cabaret entertainment is sponsored by fellow Art Deco styled, longestablished and very generous Tyneside Coffee Rooms at Tyneside Cinema so if you’ve got an act, get in touch! l
