Plans have been afoot for some time to transform High Friars Lane, Newcastle, where the entrance to Tyneside Cinema’s box office resides, from grot to grotto. With the opening of new bar Vicolo (meaning ‘alley’ in Italian), it’s fast becoming a more welcoming and inviting space. Vicolo’s continental ambience and stylish atmosphere is inspired by chef Tom Adlam’s desire to create a foodie hub in the centre of the city and treats include the ‘sandwich by the inch’, Vicolo’s own ice cream, ethically sourced coffee and cocktails.
