Drinkers will be able to soak up the festive atmosphere of Newcastle's Christmas market inside a stunning new pop-up bar inspired by the alps.
The Moosenwirt Alpine Bar and village will open for the first time on Saturday, November 19, offering visitors the chance to enjoy drinks inside a fully heated yurt. The unique venue is located on Grey Street, right next to Grey's Monument, and will be serving up festive cheer until January 2.
The new bar is offering drinkers a selection of beers, mulled wine, and cider - as well as hot drinks - as they take shelter from the cold around the bar's fire pit. There will be daily live music from local artists each afternoon and evening during the festive period. Private groups will also be able to book a luxury igloo dome to enjoy drinks.

Boutique Events Hire and Two Tribes, the partnership behind popular Times Square events such as Central Park and Oktoberfest, have teamed up once again to create the new Moosenwirt Alpine Bar.
Organiser Mike Hesketh, from Two Tribes, said: "We can’t wait to open our winter concept on one of the most beautiful streets in the country! Having worked, owned businesses, and organised events in the city for two decades, it is an honor and a privilege to be given a chance at delivering a quality space in the heart of the city.
"We can’t wait to get started and for everyone to meet at the Moose!”
Fellow organiser Nigel Holliday, from Boutique Event Hire, said the bar will also welcome families with a number of events due to be announced, including visitors from film characters, Christmas crafts and wreath making.
"It’s a great social attraction for the city over the festive period," he said.
"Not only for the adult shoppers, locals and tourists to come and have a drink and soak in the Christmas spirit but also for all the family to enjoy the space, with some great events on over the weeks we’re here."
Here's everything you need to know about how to book and the prices of drinks:
Where is the bar and will it open?
Moosenwirt ‘Alpine Bar & Village’ is located on Grey Street, outside Lloyds Bank. It will be open from Saturday, November 19 until Monday, January 2. Opening times are 10am until 11pm daily.
Do I need to book and how much does entry cost?
The bar itself is free entry and walk-ins are welcome as no advanced booking is required. However, groups wanting to enjoy drinks in the luxury igloo domes must book online in advance.
The heated, glass igloos are warmly lit with fairy lights and candles and feature a festive-dressed table and chairs.
To book an igloo, the price is £160, plus a booking fee, which works out at £20 per head, if a minimum of eight people attend. The £160 is used for drinks chosen within the allocated 90-minute time slot, and if drinkers hit the £160 then they just pay for the additional drinks they order.
No refund can be given on this ticket even if drinkers decide not to show up, and no partial refund is given if visitors do not use all of the £160 within the 90 minutes.
Bookings can be made on the bar's official website from 10am to 11pm every day apart from Christmas day. To book visit: https://www.moosenwirt.co.uk/events/
