URGENT UPDATE: A brand-new bar, the Prohibition Bar, is set to launch in Middlesbrough on November 14, 2023, exclusively for patrons aged over 35 years old. This innovative venue, inspired by the roaring 1920s speakeasy style, promises a fresh nightlife experience for the more mature crowd.
Located on Albert Road, the Prohibition Bar has undergone an extensive renovation, transforming the former Pinnacle Bowling Alley into a lavish setting complete with table service, a cloakroom, and a series of entertainment events. According to Bev Watling, the bar manager, the decision to cater exclusively to guests over 35 is intentional, as the music, featuring live acts and DJs, is crafted to resonate more with an older audience.
The grand opening night is anticipated to be a spectacular event featuring HedKandi, setting the tone for a series of exciting evenings filled with “house vibes, unreal energy, and unforgettable moments.” The Prohibition Bar aims to stand out with its promise of decadent décor, VIP areas, and live DJs every weekend, along with themed nights including jazz and 70s and 80s music.
A post on their official Facebook page states, “Middlesbrough, we are different! A 1920’s themed bar aimed at the over 35s. We stand out from the crowd.” The bar is also planning to serve a range of cocktails and bottomless brunches, creating an inviting atmosphere for older patrons looking for a vibrant nightlife option.
As anticipation builds in the community, the Prohibition Bar aims to redefine social gatherings in Middlesbrough with a focus on quality entertainment and a unique ambiance. The opening night on November 14 promises to be just the beginning of a new chapter in local nightlife.
Stay tuned for more updates as the opening approaches, and don’t miss out on what promises to be a groundbreaking addition to Middlesbrough’s entertainment scene!
