Enjoy innovative cocktails, classic wines, artisan beer and a range of hot beverages
5|Quarter, named after a coal seam that ran through the Great Northern Coalfield, is a café bar with a stylish feel and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The perfect place to socialise, meet for drinks after work, stop-off before catching the train or enjoy a cocktail before the theatre.
Temporary Closed
The 5|Quarter cafe is temporarily closed to the public.
The cafe will remain closed over January. While we finalise plans for February this decision helps us navigate a quieter season and enhance your cafe experience in future!
Stay tuned to our socials for updates.
