Manahatta to bring New York to Newcastle

Bar group Arc Inspirations is set to open its second Newcastle venue in November.

Opening on the 18th, New York-inspired Manahatta Newcastle will launch in the Grade II-listed former bank on Collingwood Street.

Offering a total capacity of 450 covers, the venue will feature a second bar on the mezzanine floor with availability for parties and private functions.

Manahatta Newcastle will join the existing Arc Inspirations venue Banyan bar, which opened in the city in 2019.

Martin Wolstencroft, chief executive at Arc Inspirations, said: “Manahatta is the perfect match for Newcastle, a city known for its bustling nightlife and restaurant scene.

“We’re so excited to be opening here following the success of Banyan and we know it’s going to be the ideal place for locals and people visiting Newcastle to gather, celebrate, and make memories.”

Arc Inspirations recently announced that it would be making its regional debut in Nottingham, with the launch of BOX Bar.
