One of the region’s largest independent hospitality operators has confirmed opening plans for its new Cuban-inspired bar and restaurant in Newcastle city centre.
The Vaulkhard Group’s new venture, Castro’s, will host the best Latin-inspired food, drink, and cocktails at its location on Hood Street, formerly the Beeronomy site, which the group purchased from Newcastle Building Society.
Mirroring the government’s roadmap on restrictions lifting, Castro’s will offer both vertical drinking and table service for its customers. The Vaulkhard Group, which also owns the likes of Blakes and Barluga in central Newcastle, said that the bar and restaurant will also host outdoor space for al fresco dining.
The North East’s largest rum selection can be found within Castro’s, while the food menu will follow a Cuban theme, mixing traditional chicken, fish and rice dishes with twists from its neighboring Caribbean islands and South America. The venue will also feature a hidden secret bar which will host salsa dance classes, rum sessions, cocktail masterclasses, and a private booking area.
