Christmas at Grey Street

A festive pop-up bar has opened on Newcastle’s Grey Street, transforming the former Leila’s Lily’s into a Christmas-themed destination for the season.

Christmas at Grey Street launched on 12th November, with giant nutcracker soldiers, mulled wine and a festive archway welcoming guests into the green and gold-themed venue.

Alongside its main bar, there’s a dedicated Christmas movie room showing a selection of festive favourites, complete with complimentary mini bags of popcorn.

The cocktail menu takes inspiration from iconic Christmas films, with highlights including a strawberry martini inspired by Love Actually and a Home Alone-themed twist on a classic Margarita. Festive cocktails are priced at £9 each, and during the 5pm-7pm festive happy hour you can enjoy two for £15.

Alongside the cocktail list, you’ll also find a self-service Guinness machine and a selection of Hawkstone products, made famous on Clarkson’s Farm, including its vodka, gin, cider and beer range.

The venue will also donate £1 from every hot chocolate and Aperol Spritz sold to Children’s Cancer North.

The festive bar is open Thursday to Sunday throughout November and seven days a week in December until Christmas Eve.
