Manhatta Cocktail tree

New York-inspired restaurant and bar comes to Newcastle city centre

Manahatta announces its debut in Newcastle, launching a brand-new New York inspired bar and kitchen in the city centre.

The cocktail bar will be opening on Collingwood Street on November 18th, an ideal location at the heart of Newcastle’s vibrant nightlife scene and conveniently close to the train station. The venue promises to bring the beat of New York to Newcastle, offering visitors some everyday escapism.

The bar will bring a taste of New York to Newcastle, serving an extensive selection of handcrafted 2-4-1 cocktails, but that’s not all – guests can also choose to order Manahatta’s stunning larger-than-life drinks, such as the beloved Supersized Pornstar and magnum-sized Prosecco, perfect for sharing among groups.

Opening in time for Christmas, Manahatta Newcastle adds an extra dose of excitement to the upcoming party season. As its doors swing open to festive celebrations with friends, family, and colleagues, it’s poised to become the ultimate party hub this year. A range of different options for Christmas will be available, including festive inspired three course menus, bottomless brunches, and a buffet party menu.

It’s not just the food and drink that’s first class. The venue, housed in a Grade II listed former bank building, marries historic elegance with the distinctive cosmopolitan chic of New York. Inside, you’ll discover an immersive experience that transports you to the energetic heart of Manhattan.

A mezzanine floor will feature a second bar, available to hire for private events and parties, and with a total capacity of 450 across the entire space, Manahatta Newcastle is the ideal venue for celebrations of all kinds. Additionally, for those seeking more intimate occasions, the upstairs bar also has a private dining room.

Martin Wolstencroft, CEO at Arc Inspirations, commented: “Manahatta is the perfect match for Newcastle, a city known for its bustling nightlife and restaurant scene. We’re so excited to be opening here following the success of Banyan and we know it’s going to be the ideal place for locals and people visiting Newcastle to gather, celebrate, and make memories.

“We’re even more delighted to be opening in time for Christmas and can’t wait to welcome lots of people through to door to party over the festive period. We also have a few exciting plans in store to celebrate the opening, so keep an eye out on the streets of Newcastle for what’s to come!”
