The
Artizan
– the new name
A
long-awaited gin and cocktail bar
in Linthorpe, Middlesbrough, has
opened its doors for the first time.
Amid a stunningly-designed interior, The
Artizan is now taking table bookings at the
new venue on Roman Road, opposite the
Linthorpe pub.
Developed by master craftsmen, their
range of barrel-aged cocktails comes with
such locally-themed names as Captain Cook,
The Transporter, Cleveland Hills, Bottle of
Notes, Tijuana of Teesside, Flare Stack and
Chemical Circus.
And, at £100, there’s even Teesside’s most
expensive cocktail, the Welder’s Margarita, a
mouth-watering mix of tequila, lime, agave
and champagne – served in an eye-catching
in cocktails
sharing vessel containing enough for up to
six individual glasses, it comes with four
glasses of champagne.
Along with a range of gins and cocktails,
drinkers can enjoy a selection spirits, wines
and champagnes, beers and ciders.
The Artizan is the creation of brothers
Anthony and Andrew Hynes together with
business partner Paul Wood, who revealed
that there are plans for more Artizan bars to
be launched over the next two or three years.
From the shell of a well-known former
carpet store, the trio designed and created
the bar’s quirky interior themselves.
Cocktail and gin fans can enjoy
the reclaimed brick interior and a bar
imaginatively fashioned from scaffolding
boards, while eye-catching features
include filament lighting and an exposed
steel beam stamped with a name
synonymous with Teesside’s industrial
heritage, Dorman Long & Co.
“We’re proud to have built it ourselves
but we’ve invested substantial funds into
The Artizan too,” said Paul. “We wanted
to create a warm atmosphere with real
ambience, and I think we’ve achieved that.
“We’re confident there’s nothing like it
in the area, and it’s already clear people
want to be part of it. It’s somewhere
people will want to sit and enjoy a few
drinks”.
Bookings for the The Artizan can be made via their website www.theartizan.com, their Facebook page or by calling 01642 827698.
