A retro arcade bar is set to move into the site of a former Newcastle city centre restaurant.
City bosses have approved plans to transform the disused Gershwin’s site in Dean Street into a Four Quarters. The former eatery, underneath Portofino, has been empty since it closed down in 2011 but is now set for a new lease of life.
Four Quarters has three branches in London and recently opened in Bristol, and promises a “unique” experience to customers as it straddles the line between being a retro videogame arcade and bar. Its proposed Dean Street site, which has been granted planning permission by Newcastle City Council, promises around 30 vintage arcade favourites alongside “quality” local craft beers and cocktails.
