Mimo, is a new bar in Newcastle It used to be Clear, which was a bar which started to go down hill, and was a bit of a charva bar. We used to go, mainly because my friends like to drink cheap vodka, and the music wasn’t too bad. It did have its busy times, but times such as during the week or early in the night it was quite quiet.
Now it is a new bar, cocktail style called Mimo. I was in there on Saturday, and it was alright. They do loads of cocktails for around £6 a glass, and the usual bottles and draught. If you want something special they do champagne too.
They have the same kind of layout, but with better seating opposite the bar, and better seating at the far end of the bar which still seems a bit too dark and out the way…Its like being sent to the corner or something. I did not go outside but it seems that has also had a face lift, it looks quite nice and doesn’t look like someones back yard anymore.
The drinks are reasonably priced, and the music is very random; A mix of everything was being played last Saturday night.
It seems its trying to make itself cool by saying its “on The Diamond Strip” Newcastle’s cool word for a nightlife area on Collingwood Street…Well it is not. It is located in Pudding Chare, up the lane from Revolution near Fleet Street.
