Red Engine, owner of Flight Club and Electric Shuffle, is celebrating the opening of its newest venue, Flight Club Newcastle.
Opening tomorrow (Friday, November 7) at Eldon Square, Flight Club Newcastle is the 29th Flight Club venue to open globally since the first bar opened in Shoreditch 10 years ago, and further cements Red Engine’s commitment to expanding its footprint in high-energy regional cities.
The new venue will introduce Newcastle to Flight Club’s popular combination of experiential gaming, premium cocktail service, and high-quality sharing dishes in a stunning, fairground-meets-Victorian-pub environment. The 400-capacity site features two bars and 14 semi-private oches.
The Newcastle launch follows the recent announcement that Red Engine has secured further investment, totalling £70m, to support new venue openings and continued innovation for its competitive socialising experiences.
Steve Moore, CEO and co-founder of Flight Club, said: “We’ve had Newcastle firmly in our sights as a prime location for Flight Club for some time. The renowned social energy of Newcastle’s locals and the city’s vibrant nightlife perfectly align with our brand proposition. We believe it’s the perfect fit for Flight Club, and we can’t wait to open our doors to welcome the community. We’re confident that our newest venue will be a well-loved addition to Newcastle’s leisure landscape.”
Kitty Vaughan, head of UK leisure and F&B at Pradera Lateral, Eldon Square’s asset management team, said: “The opening of Flight Club at Eldon Square marks an exciting milestone for the centre, as we strengthen our vibrant leisure offering. It is a true reflection of our future-facing leasing strategy and is a hugely exciting moment in Eldon Square’s ongoing evolution. We look forward to seeing how this experience-led brand will attract diverse audiences from across the city.”
