The Big Speakeasy @ Secco Bar - Friday 16th October just a heads-up that i'm playing down here this friday with tommy rocksteady (bloc party). nice new bar, inbetween popolo and alvino's. free entry, decent drinks prices, etc: speakeasy (n.) “A speakeasy was an establishment that was used for selling and drinking alcoholic beverages during the period of United States history known as Prohibition. There are no signs on the door to indicate that inside lies a bar and restaurant. There is even a secret back door leading out to a passageway on to the street so that customers could make a quick exit when the police called.” ----------------------------------------------------- Every Friday Secco Bar opens its doors and welcomes you to join us for a hidden speakeasy in the heart of Newcastle’s most up and coming area. Located just above Popollo; Secco bar is a truly amazing little space hidden away on the first floor, just below the award winning Secco Restaurant. The building itself was constructed in 1876 and many of the original fixtures are still in place including two MASSIVE, fully working fireplaces. The soundtrack to the evening will be provided by guest slots of some of newcastles best soul, funk and disco DJ's. This Weeks Guests are: Tommy Rocksteady (bloc party) & Allie Williams (habit) We serve a wide range of imported beers, wines and have a vast cocktail menu and some cheeky drinks on offer too: Mojitos & Raspberry Collins - £3.95 each Selected Bottles - £2.50 And these offers are all night! So if your out and about this Friday come and join us for our hidden speakeasy in one of Newcastle’s hidden secret. Open 5 till 1am No Door Tax and All welcome… http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=153382105877&ref=nf
bit of a change of plan to this, but secco won't be opening tonight, so the big speakeasy will now be on tomorrow (saturday 17th), which means it will provide a perfect pre-club watering hole for anyone heading to crispy, dada or rimini... x
i'm essentially conversing with myself here now, but anybody who doesn't know where secco is, it's inbetween popolo and alvino's opposite the old fire station/ same door as the secco restaurant (there'll be door staff/flyerers outside anyway - can't miss it)
good venue, two bars, one for cocktails/one for pints = not having to wait ages for a pint whilst somebody in front of you gets a cocktail
