Closed Bar

Closed Bar, located at 17 Beaumont Street in Islington, Newcastle, offers a distinctive dining experience with its "raw, rotten, and loud" menu. Led by Head Chef Alannah Miceli, formerly of Subo, the restaurant emphasizes sustainability by utilizing local produce through techniques like pickling, fermenting, and curing. The innovative menu features dishes such as Cured Market Fish with EARP gin infusion and Basil Sponge. The drinks menu includes minimal intervention wines and cocktails like Jazz Hands, crafted using similar techniques to the food. The venue's romantic punk aesthetic, with plush velvets and industrial touches, sets the stage for a unique dining experience. Closed Bar is part of the Islington Village development, an $8 million project that includes a bar, artisan bakery, gelato store, restaurants, and shop-top apartments.
