Whiskey Down 'gentlemen's retreat' to open in Newcastle with promise of luxury and sophistication

At a time when there are a few new venues popping up in and around town, this weekend Newcastle will welcome a new venue being billed as a 'refined gentleman's retreat,' which will offer a 'luxurious and sophisticated' setting to unwind in.

Going into a currently unoccupied space in the Bigg Market, above popular haunt Bierkeller, promises 'an exclusive experience' featuring an extraordinary selection of world-class whiskies and spirits, combined with a unique entertainment offering designed to elevate the nightlife scene.

According to the team behind the new venue, whiskey connoisseurs will find themselves immersed in a curated selection of whiskies from around the globe, including renowned American bourbons, the finest Irish whiskies, smooth Japanese malts, and, of course, Scotland’s best local scotch. Alongside these, guests can indulge in premium gins, with the perfect pairing of tonic, a range of high-end vodkas, and exclusive champagnes, making Whiskey Down the 'ultimate destination' for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

With the aim of being an upmarket take on entertainment, Whiskey Down is promising to raise the bar of the gentleman's club, offering an 'exciting yet tasteful' blend of entertainment, with private dances and exclusive performances. However, understanding that some patrons may prefer a quieter, more relaxed evening, Whiskey Down provides dancer-free areas for those simply wishing to enjoy a refined drink in an elegant setting.

The club’s interior design reflects the spirit of Whiskey Down—elegant, intimate, and designed with luxury in mind. With plush seating, ambient lighting, and a welcoming atmosphere, Whiskey Down is the perfect place to unwind after a long day, enjoy a night out with friends, or host private celebrations.

A spokesperson for the club told ChronicleLive, that while Whiskey Down 'embraces the energy and allure of traditional gentlemen’s clubs, offering an experience that strikes the perfect balance between indulgence and entertainment," adding: "Whether it’s for the whisky, the ambiance, or the exclusive performances, Whiskey Down is a venue unlike any other. "

*Whiskey Down will be open seven nights a week, from 7pm on a Friday, 5pm on a Saturday and 9pm on a Sunday-Thursday.
