Newcastle United football club has officially opened it’s a new 700-capacity bar at St James’ Park which is to be run by Sodexo Prestige who operate the catering and events facilities at the ground.
Called the Terrace Bar, it is located at the south west corner of the ground in an area that was formerly the club’s ticket office and is the first new drinks venue to open at the ground for more than a decade. It features 33 wall-mounted televisions and will be open to fans four hours before kick-off for all home games and remain open for two hours after the final whistle.
The £300,000 development - which can also be privately hired for parties and other informal social occasions, complementing existing event facilities at the ground – has resulted in the creation of 30 new jobs bringing the number of catering and events staff at NUFC to 700.
