Coffee and cocktails - and even some special drink concoctions for dogs - will be on the menu at a new bar in Tynemouth which is out to cater for all tastes as visitors head to the coast this summer.
Atelier, which is inside The Land Of Green Ginger arcade in Front Street, is all set to open its doors and aims to make the most of its location which is just a short walk from Longsands beach and King Edward's Bay. It is, said a spokeswoman, "the perfect place to start or end a day" for those planning a trip to the coast. And that includes dogs.
Atelier is the third cocktail bar for owner Steve Blair who first opened WC in Newcastle - in the former gent's basement public toilets in the Bigg Market - in 2020 just before the pandemic hit. There, undeterred by the unfortunate timing and the months of lockdown that followed, he made the most of its reopening and then pressed ahead with his plans to open a second bar.
