New Wine Bar Angel's Share Set to Open in Jesmond

The rise of tiny wine bars across the U.S. is creating intimate spaces that foster community and conversation, often modeled after European establishments. These venues, typically under 500 square feet, are designed to offer a slower, more attentive experience, with careful consideration given to every design element to enhance the atmosphere. In Newcastle, a new wine lounge called Angel's Share is set to open in June, featuring self-dispense machines that allow patrons to explore a variety of wines not usually available by the glass. The bar, run by husband-and-wife team Daren and Kate Knipe, aims to attract a clientele interested in high-quality wines and unique tasting experiences. Local solicitors assisted in navigating the licensing process to establish this new concept, promising to enrich the area's hospitality scene. With a focus on quality and community, these wine bars are redefining the drinking culture in their respective locales.
