Botanical Paradise in the City Heart
Step into The Botanist Newcastle, where Monument Mall's urban energy gives way to a lush, plant-filled sanctuary. Towering trees, hanging foliage, and a grand domed glass ceiling create an immersive secret garden atmosphere across two floors. The central tree feature anchors the space, while vintage trinkets and floral motifs adorn the walls, evoking a whimsical escape from the Geordie streets outside. This design draws inspiration from nature's bounty, blending antique charm with contemporary flair for diners and drinkers alike.Cocktails Crafted by Resident Botanists
The bar shines with a cornucopia of botanical concoctions, shaken since 2012 with foraged herbs, spices, and fruits. Quirky creations like garden-infused sharpener or livener cocktails pair perfectly with craft beers, ales, Champagne, and wines. Each drink tells a story of innovation, using the season's finest ingredients curated by in-house experts. The rooftop terrace extends this al fresco joy on warmer days, offering a verdant perch amid the city skyline.Seasonal Menus Bursting with Flavor
Food menus celebrate global influences with British roots, featuring dishes packed with fresh veg, fruits, and herbs.

Special diets thrive here—vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options abound, all freshly cooked and presented with artistic flair. Festive menus transform the space into a winter wonderland come December.Live Music and Lively Events
