The team behind The Depot on Darby Street have opened a larger, grander venue on Beaumont Street. Carrying the same name, The Depot on Beaumont encompasses three stories, making it one of the largest restaurant/bars in Newcastle.
Situated in the completely refurbished Masonic Hall, it's evident that a lot of thought has gone into embracing the historic character of the space, while still giving the venue a contemporary feel.
Business partners Chad Taylor and Adam Baker have utilised the space to its full capacity, showcasing multi-level entertainment. The restaurant, located at ground level, seats 190 guests, while the mezzanine level (second floor) hosts a stunning cocktail lounge. The third floor is yet to open, but will be a VIP lounge and bar early next year.
Taylor and Baker say the new venue has capacity to cater for large groups of people, a market they always wanted at Darby Street, but space restrictions didn’t allow for it. They’ve created a special menu for groups of 10 or more people, giving guests the choice of a tapas banquet or platters of their mains to share.
The tapas and dessert menu is similar to Darby Street, but Beaumont promotes a different style of eating for main meals. Designed to be shared amongst friends, the 1 kilo tomahawk slow-cooked steak is the star of the menu. Served with a Romesco sauce and a trio of condiments, it is sure to satisfy the hungriest of couples.
The Depot is currently holding a competition to name the VIP bar. The winner and 9 of their friends will score a stretch hummer transfer to the exclusive opening night party. Submit your name suggestion via their Facebook page by December the 15th for a chance to win.
