Couple preparing to open brand new Jesmond wine bar in old Boots building
A new concept wine lounge is the latest business to make a popular suburb of Newcastle its home.
Angel’s Share, whose name refers to the liquid lost that evaporates as a wine matures in a barrel, is due to open in the former Boots building on Jesmond’s St George’s Terrace in early June 2025.
Operated by husband and wife team Daren - formerly managing director of Blackrose Pubs - and Kate Knipe, the venue will serve a range of wines, beers and spirits, non-alcoholic refreshments, small plates and sharing boards.
The bar will feature a number of self-dispense machines, allowing wine enthusiasts the opportunity to try wines which are not usually available by the glass, and promote exploration of different wines, including brands from new and traditional regions not often found in local supermarkets or wine merchants.
Licensing and gaming partner at Mincoffs Solicitors, who assisted in the move, Matt Foster said: “It was our pleasure to advise Daren and Kate on Angel’s Share’s first venue.
“Angel’s Share is in a fantastic location with some really unique features, which promises to bring something new to the hospitality offering in Jesmond.
“We have no doubt the venue will be a go to destination once it opens its doors and we wish Daren and Kate the best of luck with the venue.”
