An award-winning cocktail bar is out to add a rock 'n' roll vibe to the city when it launches in the spring with a promise of 'music for the people, food for the soul and good times forever'.
The Americana-style MOJO is due to open on the ground floor of The Gate in Newcastle this spring, it has been announced, where it soon will be hosting cocktail-making classes teaching customers how to be movers and shakers. And its top-trained bar tenders are set to be mixologists of the highest order, it says.
The MOJO brand already has successful nothern venues in cities such as Manchester and Leeds and it was first reported last summer that there were plans for it to take over the vacant former site in The Gate of TGI Friday’s in a £750,000 transformation. Now the big name seems set to bring a boost to the entertainment hub where it will join nearby bars including The Mayfair, The Hustle, The WonderBar, Wetherspoon and The Lofts night club.
