ATTENTION treasured friends of Prohibition Cabaret Bar! I'd like to take a moment to highlight one of our upcoming events - an evening of phenomenal blues music on Friday 27th September.

We're thrilled to be hosting outstanding, authentic blues duo Nothing in Rambling. Comprising Sister Suzie with her powerful, soulful vocals and Andy Twyman, blues guitar expert, Nothing in Rambling are guided by a love of early blues music so expect to hear the influences of Mississippi and Louisiana.

The duo have toured all around the country and will even be releasing their debut album at the start of October, so we're so excited to have them come here for an exclusive performance.

Nothing in Rambling are also being supported by highly acclaimed local blues musicians Michael Littlefield and Lyndon Anderson.

Tickets are £10+bf and doors on the night open at 6pm.

If you want to get in on this fantastic night then visit the site linked below for full information and ticket purchasing options:

HEAR YE, HEAR YE!! We're now into the month of September (scary, innit) and that means well and truly on the horizon is the second ever Newcastle Burlesque Festival!! From Wednesday 25th September to Sunday 29th September you can get involved in The House of Trixie Blue's five day celebration of the incredible talent and utter joy that can be found in the Burlesque scene of the North East and wider world.

Burlesque is a huge part of our identity here at Prohibition so we're incredibly excited to host two of the shows (the late night shows on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th) as well as having the honour of being one of the festival's two full sponsors.

The festival as a whole will be an incredible demonstration of this widely loved art form; a huge amount of work and passion has gone into everything involved - there will be an online show, local and out of town talent showcases, an X-***ed show and even a bit of a karaoke and burlesque fusion, and more besides for you to witness and be a part of.

Tickets are still available for some of the festival's events so the opportunity is very much still there to get involved:

Full information for each show as well as ticket purchasing options can be found here:

08/08/2024

Over 3000 Geordies say HATE is NOT welcome in Newcastle 👏🏼 🙏🏼

This is the scene as thousands of proud Geordies gathered in Newcastle's West End last night in a counter protest in what were described as moving scenes outside The Beacon on Westgate Road, an immigration centre targeted by the far-right. A protective wall of love, community and strength stood firm between the hateful and racist protestors and the Centre. Demonstrators held up signs reading "Geordies are of all colours" and "We love our West End".

This is Newcastle, united. ❤️ 🖤 🤍 🤎

Good evening, treasured friends of Prohibition Cabaret Bar!

As you know Mitch, myself and the whole team here at Prohibition adore bringing you our unique brand of good times with all our hearts - we're as dedicated as ever to our unwavering mission to be a safe haven and a home away from home for all walks of life. Thus it is with a real sense of sorrow to report that we will not open this evening.

I'd love nothing more than to bring you this week's pub quiz and, as always, have our doors open for people to come in and feel at home here, but we cannot ignore the safety issues and travel disruptions certain groups seem hell bent on inflicting upon the vast majority of wonderful people who make Newcastle what it is.

The priority is safety and wellbeing so we encourage you all to stay safe and if possible stay at home. At this time our plans are to keep to our usual schedule from tomorrow onwards so we will be open as normal from 6pm for the rest of the week - we'll update you ASAP if anything else changes.

Have a happy and safe Wednesday evening and we'll see you all real soon
Mitch, Danny and the Prohibition Mob

ATTENTION treasured friends of Prohibition Cabaret Bar! A quick moment of your time, please:

Due to a bit of event cancellation and what I'm deciding to call "The Summer Bummers" (it probably won't catch on) we've got an entire weekend where our fabulous private hire venue is completely unused - NEXT WEEKEND! Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd August are both up for grabs in our venue where the next weekend night available isn't until 2025; so it's a rare occurrence!

If you've got a social gathering, a live performance or private party you'd like to birth into the world in short notice then we'd be delighted to host it.

Our hireable venue can fit up to 60 people and it's in-keeping with our famous 1920s style, plus you get the full use of "The Bureau", an additional room kitted out to resemble an old detective's office, including a roll top desk and billiards table.

The main room includes a full sound system and stage area and we can have a projector and screen set up too if needed. There's also a bar that we can have staffed and running and your own facilities separate from the public bar.

As the weekend in question is so upcoming we're more than happy to waive the usual hire fees, we just can't stand the thought of it being unused and empty (it has feelings, ya know). You'd be able to have the space anywhere between 6pm and midnight (as much or as little of that time as you like).

If you're interested please contact [email protected]

Many thanks and as you were.
The Prohibition Mob

24/07/2024

Sun 14th: Come on down this Sunday evening for some live jazz with local guitarist and musical legend Rich Herdman. Rich will be joined, no doubt, by a talented collection of contemporaries to provide our guests with some top shelf jazz music. Expect the classics in some fresh new arrangements. This gig will be completely free to enter and we’ll have the ol’ Jar on the Bar out for cash donations. Doors open at 6pm with the live music starting at 7pm.
