Colonel Porter's Emporium is a vibrant venue on Dean Street in Newcastle, drawing inspiration from explorer and Newcastle Brown Ale founder James Herbert Porter. The establishment combines a rum-focused bar with a tavern atmosphere and an internal botanical garden, creating a distinctive aesthetic with turquoise and brass accents, hunting-lodge curios, and vintage maps. The venue features over 125 rums, gin, and cocktail options, live music every night, open-mic Tuesdays, and DJ sets on weekends. Additional offerings include a "Tipsy Tea" afternoon experience and several themed zones including a speakeasy-style private hire area accessible via a hidden bookcase.
