Newcastle is to get a new 'super bar' as not one, but two of the cities best known nightspots merge and get a new look and a new name.
Bar Beyond and the adjoining Opera Piano Bar & Lounge has been regular haunts for many Geordies and visitors to the city since The Gate opened nearly 17 years ago now.
They both shut their doors in May and since then work has been going on behind the scenes to completely transform both venues as they merge to become brand new venue The Wonder Bar.
The venue, owned by local businessman John Adamson, who also has Colonel Porter's on Dean Street in Newcastle as well as Ramside Hall in Durham and Hardwick Hall in Sedgefield.
The bar has teased that The Wonder Bar "will be like no other bar in Newcastle," saying "from DJs to darts, big screens to Bavarian Stompers, comedy to cocktails- this bar has it ALL!"
The Wonder Bar, which is set to open soon, will host loads of fun nights including Students Wednesdays,
Quizomedy, live music, club nights, as well as an assortment of food, cocktails and beer- you won't have to go anywhere else.
The release on the new venue concludes "It's a one stop Wonderland, where wonders never cease!
"Newcastle has been crying out for a super bar... well the wait is almost over."
