Frate

Description

Tucked just behind Grey Street in a courtyard of cleverly stacked shipping containers, Frate is Newcastle’s open-air playground for good times, great food and even better vibes. Dreamed up by the team behind local favourites Market Shaker, The Dog & Parrot and Pumphreys, this city-centre hotspot blends street food, cocktails and culture into one seriously buzzy hangout. Expect everything from DJs and live music to outdoor cinema nights and sporty screenings on big screens, all wrapped up in a laid-back, festival-style setting that comes alive from sunny afternoons right through to late-night sessions.

Food-wise, it’s all about keeping things fresh and independent. Frate champions a rotating line-up of local vendors, with names like Slice Boys serving up New York-meets-Italian style pizza by the slice alongside BABS Newcastle’s Middle Eastern-inspired kebabs and mezze. The offering leans into bold, crowd-pleasing flavours rather than formal dining, making it perfect for casual bites between cocktails or group feasting with mates. There’s no singular head chef here; instead, it’s a collaborative, ever-changing culinary mix that keeps things interesting and firmly rooted in the city’s indie food scene.
