A Whitley Bay café and bar has become a hub for all things creative with a jam-packed events programme putting an imaginative twist on evenings out.
The owners of Baba Yaga's House, brother-and-sister duo Madé and Kester Stores, are celebrating almost a year of being in business after opening their fairtytale-inspired venue in May last year in a bid to bring something completely different to the coast. The quirky Whitley Road establishment starts off the day as a café, serving up coffee, soft drinks and a sandwich menu, before transforming into a late-night bar complete with cocktails, craft beers and charcuterie boards.
Not only that, but the café bar doubles up as an art gallery too - the wooden walls are covered with artwork by talented local creatives which are offered the space for free, so you might just pop in for a sandwich and come away with a new painting or print. And the magic has now been dialled up even further at Baba Yaga's House with the likes of poetry, music and craft evenings having been added to its repertoire.
