Welcome to Newcastle, where the old (castle) meets the new! Hard Rock Cafe is coming at you live from Newcastle, with a new layout paying tribute to the past by keeping in line with the former grandeur and arches. Phase one of our grand design includes a cafe with room for 170 of your closest friends, with 60 of those lucky pals getting to sit on a raised mezzanine floor overlooking the river. We’ve also included 16 external seats, and we’ve got our eye on adding an additional external seating area providing 32 seats next to the river. In the not too distant future, Phase Two will kick off with additions like more seating, a larger stage, and a VIP area.
