The Mushroom Bar on 82 Grainger Street has announced it will be closing down after ‘23 phenomenal years serving the great people of Newcastle’.
The legendary bar will be closing down on February 1.
Ahead of its closure, the venue will be hosting a couple of closing parties:
- IKON’s Jeff Scott on January 30: Doors open at 3pm and DJ starts from 6pm
- January 31 (the final day/night) : The Mushroom opens from 1pm and will have a huge list of DJs from 5pm to 3am for one last dance at the venue.
The team at The Mushroom said: “To say we are gutted would be an understatement, however in today’s climate & the lack of support & engagement from both local and national powers, even though we remain a very popular spot - Vital cultural hub clubs like The Mushroom that helped build the very foundations North East Nightlife once sat on are longer viable.
“We’d like to end by thanking all of our loyal customers for their support over the years, and the Staff / DJ’s / Security who gave it the legacy it holds today - no matter where you go in the world, if you bump in to someone who’s visited Newcastle.. you can guarantee they’ve been to Mushroom, and we’ll take comfort in that.”
